Here is one event that is guaranteed to influence the outlook of humans in their view of superhumans and especially mutants:
"The Pitt" (a.k.a. Pittsburgh Disaster, December 22, 1987)-The destruction of Pittsburgh (and the unsolved mystery of its cause) lead to a dramatic rise in international tension and a vast militarization of American society, including the suspension of some civil rights. Many cities suffer dramatic drop in population as residents fear becoming victims of another "Pitt". New York and surrounding areas in particular suffer severe economic downturn as, in addition to general depopulation, ash and smoke drifting Eastward from the Pitt have a negative environmental impact.
Volume of sphere of effect: 65,313 cubic miles
Area of land eradicated at ground level: 1,590 square miles
Volume of earth eradicated: 14,888 cubic miles.
Population of Greater Pittsburgh Region: 430,000
The disintegrated matter of the Pittsburgh area, mixed with sucked in debris (much of it organic), water from the severed Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers accumulates in the Pitt and combines into a sludgy liquid that comes to be known as "Pitt Juice". Able to seep through even the tightest of seals, it has mutagenic properties that can affect people and animals who come in contact with it, often grotesquely so. In particular, those exposed to the Juice often meld with other nearby lifeforms or materials, creating mineral-organic hybrids and chimaerical monstrosities.

The Red Guard- While the United States has been adequately protected by the Sentinels since 1942, the Russians have protected their country with similar human experimentation projects which have produced the elite fighting force of Red Guard since 1947. With leaked documents from Operation: REBIRTH and the work of Professor Piotr Phobos, the Soviets made an effective derivation of the American project. Armored with powersuits designed by Boris Bullski and Professor Anton Vanko, the Red Guard member becomes a powerful threat. Under the command of General Aleksandr Lukin, the Red Guard is considered one of the most effective special forces, counter-insurgency and anti-terrorist units on the planet. Their reputation has been sealed by missions in Afghanistan, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Angola, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Genosha and Latveria. According to SHIELD records, some of the leading members of the group have been:
* Col. Gen. Alexei Alanovich Shostakov
* Col. Gen. Valentin Shatalov
* Col. Arkady Rossovich
* Lt. Col. Josef Petkus
* Lt. Krassno Granitsky

Kree Invasion: First Strike- After discovering that the Skrull alien species has infiltrated Earth society, the Kree military command has sent its greatest warrior to contend with humanity and its alien allies. General Mar-Vehl, Kree Imperial Militia is one of Earth's greatest threats according to top-secret documents by SHIELD Director Henry Peter Gyrich authorized by President Bill Clinton after the 1998 takeover of the Arecibo Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico. Aided by his brother, Sub-Commander Genis-Vehl, and personal friend of Emperor Yon-Rogg, Captain Mar-Vehl is considered one of the deadliest military commanders of his species. Veteran of the Kree-Skrull War (1971-1975); theater commader of Operation GALACTIC STORM (1992) and the subsequent occupation of Shi'ar Empire (1993-2001), he has launched several covert operations against Earth with the intent of testing its defenses since 1993. He feels that he is acting in best interests of all species, citing the threat of the Skrull Empire, and has decided to launch a "preemptive strike". Already sleeper cells are in place all over the planet Earth for a coordinated attack.
The have utilized the Hexus Corporation as a base of operations which is a corporation that is parasitizing the planet by exploiting its natural resources and brainwashing the masses, who end up working for them without knowing that Hexus actually is destroying the planet and is part of an invasion force. Their corporate motto being:
You Want It!
You Need It!
You Can't Live Without It!
If humanity and its superhuman defenders don't uncover this threat soon, humanity will learn the harshest meaning for "hostile takeover"

Galactus, Devourer of Suns
If you had been around just prior to the Big Bang you would have seen another universe undergoing its death. It’s Big Crunch. Most matter had already succumbed to the devastating forces. Only the matter at the edge of this universe could still form solar systems. Many of these systems were the last refuges of civilizations that attempted to out run the fall into the final Black Hole which would form a new Cosmic Egg.
Taa's civilization was one of the last still in existence. Lethal radiation caused by the "Big Crunch" that this universe was experiencing was wiping out all life across the universe. Galan, a space explorer, was dispatched to travel through the cosmos to find a means of saving Taa, but he found none. The radiation eventually killed off all but a tiny fraction of the population of Taa. Knowing their deaths were inevitable, Galan proposed to the remaining survivors that they die gloriously by piloting one of their starships directly into the heart of the "Cosmic Egg." As the starship containing Galan and his fellow survivors approached the focal point of the Big Crunch, the heat and radiation began to wear away at the ship. As they came closer to the Cosmic Egg their remaining sensors detected another ship nearby. The craft appeared to be in perfect condition, totally immune to the ravaging effects of the “Big Crunch”, but they could find no one on the craft.
Deciding to abandon their ship for this other, they moved as many supplies and equipment as they could. As they explored the ship further they came across a body of a pink skinned humanoid lying across a table. Decomposition had started, but was halted at some point, leaving the body mummified. Radiation and dark energy had increased as they neared the center of the universe. Not wanting to go outside the ship they placed the body in a storage hold. The hold was empty save for a crystal container suspended in the middle by a lattice of cables. Within the container was a seething mass of gas and energy. Overtime they noticed that the seething of the gas coincided with their passage near a dying star or when the energy from the Cosmic Egg increased. They surmised that this was the object keeping them safe from exposure.
As their passage neared its end, the levels of energy and radiation from the Cosmic Egg became even too much for the gas within the crystal container to handle. The energies killed all the passengers except Galan, who strangely found himself filled with new energy and life.
At the moment Galan's universe met its end, the Phoenix Force of this universe amassed the positive emotions of all remaining living beings in the cosmos to preserve them from eternal damnation, enabling the Sentience of the Universe — the previous universe's equivalent to Eternity — to meet with Galan and surprisingly the gas within the crystal container. Within the "Cosmic Egg" the Sentience of the Universe revealed itself to Galan and informed him that though all three beings, Galan, the Sentience and the Gas, revealed to Galan to be a Sun-Eater, would die in the final moments of the universe, they would all survive through a joint heir born into the next universe. The Sentience of the Universe merged itself with the mortal Galan and the Sun-Eater, and thus Galactus, the Devourer of Suns, was conceived.
Eventually the "Cosmic Egg" underwent another "Big Bang," thus creating the current universe. Eternity and Death, the ethereal embodiments of the new universe, were created in this "Big Bang," and the newborn Galactus was simultaneously hurled outward in his recreated starship.
The nascent Galactus drifted in his starship for eons as life began to come into existence in the universe, including the races that would give rise to the Elders of the Universe. Eventually the nascent Galactus's starship was sighted by Ecce of the Watcher race, an ancient species who possess vast psionic and energy manipulation powers who had undertaken to observe the events of the universe. Ecce drew the starship down to his planet to study it. There he learned that the being within it had power beyond comprehension and would eventually be forced to consume entire suns to satiate his hunger for life-sustaining energy. Realizing the danger the nascent Galactus posed to the cosmos, this Watcher considered destroying the entity—who was still vulnerable due to his metamorphic state—but instead decided to abide by the Watchers' oath of non-interference, and let the nascent Galactus depart in his starship. Although over time the Watcher race has come to understand that Galactus is an intrinsic and necessary component to the natural order of the cosmos, Ecce has expressed guilt over his decision those billions of years ago and feels partially responsible for the destruction Galactus has caused since.
The nascent Galactus employed his vast power and created a suit of armor to help him regulate his raging internal energies and give his nebulous body form. He then transformed the starship of Galan into a kind of incubation chamber, where Galactus spent thousands upon thousands of years evolving into his current form. Finally, the incubation ship drifted into orbit around the inhabited planet Archeopia. The Archeopians themselves did not disturb the strange ship, but years later a marauding space fleet, nearing Archeopia and thinking Galactus's ship to be a weapon, attacked it. Galactus, with his metamorphosis complete, emerged and with a gesture destroyed the invading fleet. Galactus, realizing his uncontrollable hunger for energy, turned his attention upon the energy-rich sun of Archeopia. Galactus immediately consumed the life energies of the sun, causing the planets to freeze, only a small fleet of Archeopian ships managed to escape the planet in time. (The Archeopian race would later be fully exterminated by the living planet Ego).
Over the following millennia Galactus constructed for himself an immense home, the world-ship he calls Taa II, which engulfs the Archeopian solar system as a tribute to both his homeworld and to Archeopia, the first planet he ever had brought death and destruction to. For several billion years Galactus consumed only suns with uninhabited planets with sentient life forms, Archeopia being the only exception, and centuries passed between his "feedings".
However, as ages passed, the intervals between feedings decreased considerably in length, and Galactus found himself needing to consume suns inhabited by sentient races if he could find no other worlds possessing the energy he needs in time to sustain himself. Galactus has succeeded in suppressing his sympathy for intelligent beings that are similar in nature to the entity from which he was birthed, and, realizing himself to be a higher kind of being than they are due to his intrinsic role in the natural order, is willing to destroy their lives to continue his own. Moreover, he is aware that he is meant to one day give back to the universe infinitely more than he has ever taken from it.
At one point Galactus threatened to destroy the planet Zenn-La, home of a civilized, humanoid race. Empress Shalla-Bal, persuaded Galactus to spare the planet by volunteering to become his "herald" and search out uninhabited worlds for him to consume. Galactus agreed, and transformed Shalla-Bal into the Azure Axemaid. She left Zenn-La with no memory of her past life, leaving behind her love, the regent Norrin Radd.
Eventually, however, Galactus grew determined to consume the energy-rich planet Earth. The Axemaid rebelled as a result, and Susan Storm and the Defenders thwarted Galactus by threatening to use an alien device called the Ultimate Nullifier on him, a weapon that could lay waste to the universe and kill even Galactus. Galactus was forced to vow to spare Earth in exchange for the Nullifier's return, and he punished the Axemaid for her betrayal by erecting an undetectable energy barrier that prevented the Axemaid from leaving Earth.
Eventually freeing himself from his pledge to Storm by defeating the nearly omnipotent Sphinx (who was further empowered by the secrets of the universe downloaded from the Living Computer of Xandar), Galactus returned several times to Earth to consume it, but was always narrowly thwarted. Meanwhile, he consumed numerous suns harboring sentient life in their systems, throughout the known universe to sate his hunger, and was feared as a menace to all known star faring races. Galactus also took on a succession of new heralds.
During his last attempt to devour Earth, Galactus had gone so long without "feeding" that his energies were the lowest they had ever been and he was near death; thus a large number of Earth's superhuman defenders actually succeeded in defeating him in battle. Galactus lay dying, succumbing to his own hunger, but Dr Doom, with the help of Dr Susan Storm, saved his life with the help of Thor's mystic hammer Mjolnir. The grateful Galactus pledged his friendship to Doom and sincerely gave his word never to attack the Earthis sun again. Galactus has steadfastly abided by this oath ever since. During this visit to Earth Galactus recruited his latest herald, Dark Echo (Alicia Masters).

Thor
Real Name: Carl Lucas
Former Aliases: Luke Cage, Power Man
The story of Carl Lucas becoming Thor is one of sadness and pain. Serving with the Defenders as Power Man and then as Luke Cage, Carl was witness and participant in many battles in the defense of Earth. During a particularly gruesome battle against Loki and his minions, Thor died Carl from a Frost Giant. Thor's hand clutched Mjolnir tightly until the moment of his death, dropping it at Carl Lucas' feet.
Knowing that he might die, Carl picked Mjolnir up, lightning coursed through his body, and the power of Thor was transferred into Carl, adding super-speed, longevity, The "Odin-Force" and Storm Summoning to his set of powers. Pieces of armor from an Iron Man suit drone littered the battlefield, which Mjolnir used to craft pieces of armor unto Carl's body. With this last bit of power transferred to Carl, the former Thor's body crumpled into ashes.

Here is further proof that Kree:First Strike will have a major effect on the teams of the ATL. Please consider the following:
Blue Eagle (a.k.a. "James Dore", Jr. a.k.a. "J'amm-Dorr")- J'amm-Dorr was a young police officer on the Kree homeworld, and a child of a privileged family being the son of C'onn-Dorr. The Kree homeworld was a planet which conquered and mined other worlds for their resources to maintain its high standard of living, and J'amm realized that this was wrong. He rebelled against the system and favored the old days of Kree homeworld. He became a student of history and archaeology. J'amm became addicted to a recreational drug, and was manipulated by a renegade police captain into killing his own father. As punishment for his crime, General Mar-Vehl has ordered J'amm to serve as the primary intelligence officer to evaluate and determine the threat level of Earth's metahuman and conventional defense units. J'amm's role as one of the founding members of the Avengers makes him one of the most dangerous assets of the Kree preemptive strike.

I like that.
We need to do the founders of the Avengers and the finish then current members.

Heralds of Galactus
Former Herald, the Azure Axemaid (Shall-Bal) & his current herald Dark Echo (Alicia Masters)
Former Herald, the Azure Axemaid (Shall-Bal) & his current herald Dark Echo (Alicia Masters)
Here are other members of the original Avengers starting in 1958. As such, they have a very different feel and style than OTL's Avengers.
Blackfox (a.k.a. Robert William Paine a.k.a. "Flying Fox")- Dr. Robert William Paine was born in Foxwood Farms, Illinois. Starting in 1939, Paine worked as an American intelligence agent for the OSS and was assigned to infiltrate Nazi Germany. After the War, he took to living the life of a swashbuckler. It was during this time that Paine was driven to create his Black Fox identity. After a conflict with the vampiric villain Nocturne, in which Paine's true love Miriam Masters was slain, Paine declares, "Before, I was just a masked swashbuckler. After that...that was the day the Black Fox was truly born." After many years of fighting crime, The Black Fox eventually retired to teach history and law at Northwestern University in Chicago. In 1958, he was called to help lead the Avengers by Jimmy Woo. He would mysteriously die in 1966, after investigating the background of team member Blue Eagle (a.k.a. "J'amm D'orr").
Jann of the Jungle (a.k.a. Jane Hastings)- Originally she went to Africa with Pat (who was blond, at first) as a movie stunt double. She was "Jane Hastings," a "former circus trapeze artist and animal trainer." But once in the Congo she met and talked with Kuba, the de facto leader of the "natives," and befriended him and them, for they saw that "you love the jungle and know its ways." Once she mentioned her name, they broke into cheers of "Jann! Jann! Jann!" Later, when questioned about this, she reveals that "many moons ago" her grandmother (also named "Jann"), as a girl, lived in the jungle. When Grandmother Jann grew up she helped the natives, serving them in their times of need. Grandmother Jann eventually married a "white hunter of lions" and left the jungle. But she taught Jann's mother "all about the jungle, and mother, in turn, taught me!" The natives recognised her lineage immediately; she says "I didn't think the natives would remember!

Blackfox (a.k.a. Robert William Paine a.k.a. "Flying Fox")- Dr. Robert William Paine was born in Foxwood Farms, Illinois. Starting in 1939, Paine worked as an American intelligence agent for the OSS and was assigned to infiltrate Nazi Germany. After the War, he took to living the life of a swashbuckler. It was during this time that Paine was driven to create his Black Fox identity. After a conflict with the vampiric villain Nocturne, in which Paine's true love Miriam Masters was slain, Paine declares, "Before, I was just a masked swashbuckler. After that...that was the day the Black Fox was truly born." After many years of fighting crime, The Black Fox eventually retired to teach history and law at Northwestern University in Chicago.

Jann of the Jungle (a.k.a. Jane Hastings)- Originally she went to Africa with Pat (who was blond, at first) as a movie stunt double. She was "Jane Hastings," a "former circus trapeze artist and animal trainer." But once in the Congo she met and talked with Kuba, the de facto leader of the "natives," and befriended him and them, for they saw that "you love the jungle and know its ways." Once she mentioned her name, they broke into cheers of "Jann! Jann! Jann!" Later, when questioned about this, she reveals that "many moons ago" her grandmother (also named "Jann"), as a girl, lived in the jungle. When Grandmother Jann grew up she helped the natives, serving them in their times of need. Grandmother Jann eventually married a "white hunter of lions" and left the jungle. But she taught Jann's mother "all about the jungle, and mother, in turn, taught me!" The natives recognised her lineage immediately; she says "I didn't think the natives would remember! Strange, but I feel as if I BELONG here...as if this is my second home!" She would join the Avengers in 1958, only to mysteriously disappear in 1968 while investigating a series of murders relating to UFOs in Zaire.

The Daily Bugle- Ever since the recent 2008 death of editor/publisher Joseph "Robbie" Robertson from cancer, the Daily Bugle has been bought out by Dexter Bennett, a rival newspaper publisher and industrialist Norman Osborn, CEO of Oscorp Industries, a politically-connected man who is interested in the newspaper mainly as a means to obtain further power. To add insult to injury, in an effort to boost up flagging sales, the newspaper has hired right-wing syndicated columnist Gordon Allsworth as the City Editor. This has resulted in the newspaper taking on a tabloid sensibility. This "tabloidization" has taken place with the hiring of Eddie Brock as its chief photographer, right-wing columnist Jeff Mace, reporter Ned Leeds, conspiracy theorist and reporter Cliff Garner, gossip columnist Jessica Jones (considered the "Metahuman Judas") and the questionable hiring of Jacob Conover (a.k.a. Richard Fisk). With its obvious political slant, its paparazzi style, and its willingness to criticize the metahuman defenders such as the Storm Front, the Xavier Institute, and the Lensherr Institute of Higher Learning as "bastions of radical domestic terrorists" has made them one of the highest-selling newspapers in the country, and one of the most powerful on Capitol Hill...
Alabama Jones, a.k.a. Dr. Henry Walton Jones, Jr. was born in July 1, 1899, to Dr. Henry Jones Sr., a Scottish proffessor of Medieval Literature in Richmond (Confederate States) and Anna Mary Jones, the eldest daughter of a rich Virginian planter. Henry Jr. accompanied his father during a world lecture tour between 1909 and 1911 that let him met many famous figures that shaped his personality. In 1912 the family received permission from the confederate government to settle in Sequoyah and Henry Jr. spent his time training with a tribe of Cherokees. As Henry Sr. progressively became more obsessed with his work following Anna's death the relation between son and father became stranded.
Thus, contrary to his father's wishes, in 1915 Jones Jr. joined a band of armed civilians trying to protect their homes against negro rebels, and in 1916 he joined the Confederate Army and fought on the Rappahannock Front under the nom de guerre Alabama Jones. The surrender of his country the following year dashed him, and he retired from the army to study Archaeology in the University of Knoxville, Tennessee. During his student years he heard of the Freedom party and despite its withered reputation following the Hampton Affair he joined it and made friendship with its chairman Jake Featherston, as both shared ideas. Combining Archaeological campaigns and adventures elsewhere with propaganda acts in favor of the Party, Alabama Jones finally became the effective head of the Freedom Party-controlled Confederate Research and Teaching Society in the aftermath of Featheston's election as Confederate President in 1934, as well as a member of the Confederate Secret Service.
The most important mission of Alabama happened in 1936, when he was asked by the Freedom Party to infiltrate in the Ottoman Empire in an attempt to find the Ark of the Covenant before an Imperial German mission working there did. Helped by French Archaeologist René Belloq he successfully retrieved the Ark, but Confederate scientists failed to learn a way to actually use its powers on the battlefield.
Eventually, Jones re-joined the CS Army and took part in several dangerous false-flag opperations behind enemy lines during the Second Great War. One of these was the destruction of Philadelphia with a superbomb in 1944. Unable to flee the city before the bomb exploded, Alabama was able to survive the detonation hiding in a fridge and flying away to a safe place... as stupid as it sounds, yeah.
Quotes:
* It wasn't slavery, honey. It was States' Rights.
* Niggers. Why it had to be Niggers?
* Sallustius: Do you always treat Blacks this bad?
* Alabama: I carry a whip, remember?

This seems like it should go in Fenwick's Hyperman thread.
