History
The Primal Universe history mirrors those of other worlds but with a few notable exceptions. Here, mystical and other-worldly forces play minor roles in human development and are often dismissed as "myth" in the history books.
The most notable event, though, was in 1931, when Marcus Cole would return to America after searching for a cure to his exposure to mustard gas in World War I. His discovery of the Well of the Furies opened the door not only to his own powers, but also ignited the super-human potential in people around the world. Magic and mutations were energized and re-awakened.
Cole's arrival in Paragon City led to the rise of the super-heroes. After he adopted the name Statesman, others soon joined his crusade to clean up the city. When the city was threatened by the self-professed "Prussian Prince of Automation", the heroes rose up to defeat Nemesis and thus cemented their place in human society as defenders and protectors of the planet.
Since then, humanity developed under the watchful eye of the heroes, and the threatening eye of the villains.
