'BELIEVE IN HEROES' is an X-Men/ Avengers crossover site, set in the year 2014, a couple of months after Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Our plot is based within the events of the movieverse, but welcoming of background information from the comics as well. While our primary focus is on the X-Men and Avengers, we also allow other marvel characters.
Following the events of a hostile HYDRA takeover, S.H.I.E.L.D was dragged down, its loyal agents scattered, and HYDRA now stands in control. The world at large is not aware of this fact, and those that are have been branded traitors. Nick Fury is presumed dead, and the defenders of the world are now starting to realize they are serving under the very evil they fought so hard to defeat. And HYDRA's hold has only started to extend further in the wake of such devastation.
In an effort to secure its control, it has been taking steps to ensure that S.H.I.E.L.D's remaining resources are cut off, the Avengers Initiative being their main target. For now Earth's Mightiest Heroes reside at Stark Tower, recently remodeled to house each member, while HYDRA sets about assigning agents to various positions of power across the globe, planting seeds of doubt and concern where the soil is fertile. Utilizing situations such as the Chitauri Invasion of New York as well as the events of the Convergence that steeped London in chaos a few months previous, they are suggesting that more stringent laws be imposed upon the beings involved in these destructive affrays.
In the midst of all this, the mutant population continues to in the fight for equality, as the Mutant Registration Act is brought forth once again, and readapted to form the basis of the Superhuman Registration Act, creating a divide within Earth's defenders, from the Avengers to the X-Men, between those in favour, and those against the motion, pro-registration, and anti-registration.
The world is not prepared for what is to come, and everything that has come before was just a prelude. Will the world succumb under pressure? Will the good give into the rising evil? Or will they unite once and for all and fight against the oncoming darkness? Will they believe in heroes once again?
