Imagine a world very like our own, but with subtle differences. Technology is racing ahead, used but barely understood and already mistakes have happened. Men and women have been gifted with extraordinary powers through error – the ability to fly, to see through walls, to turn invisible.

A new age of superheroes is dawning.

But with them they bring a terrible enemy. Those who would use this new technology for evil and their own gain. Who think nothing of hurting those who get in their way.

A reign of Supervillians is upon us.

Axis city is the place where everything comes to a head. Where the battle lines are drawn. It was in Axis city that superheroes first appeared and the people of the metropolis are still wary. Politicians and the media take sides, using the new found Supers to further their own gains.

It would take just one event to push the city over the edge, and into the hands of the shadowy underworld that surrounds it.

Axis City is an original Superhero RPG drawing its influences from Superman, Batman and the X-Men. Powers are gained through scientific means, either accidental or by design. There is an emphasis on the people behind the masks and their daily trials and tribulations. Slash and Femme, but het welcome!

ISSUE ONE:Unscrupulous media tycoon Alexander Moretti is well-known for his hard hitting investigations into superheroes, and his anti-Supers stance, but there is more to his dislike than simple fear of the unknown. Moretti plots to assassinate the Mayor and bring Axis City to its knees, putting in place his own government and running the city his way.
