A short history of the Mirrorverse as it deviates from our own.
1910 - Discovered supers are mostly lab experiments belonging to the government, kept as closely guarded secrets. There is no official acceptance of people with powers by any form of government, mostly due to their value as specimens and national weapons.
1945 - Following the end of WW2, the League of Nations is renamed the United Nations to prevent further war between Earth nations.
1947 - A UFO lands in Roswell. It is denied by the America government.
1951 - A meteor threatens to hit earth and wipe out 80% of life. Before it enters the atmosphere, the hero known as Legend deflects the meteor, publicly revealing the existence of superheros and other differently-abled people.
The religion Mutaholican begins, which worships Legend and his kin as angels descended to protect mankind.
1953 - A large of portion of supers are declared to be mutants, based off the experimentation results of their DNA.
1972 - Supers in America win the right to be equal US citizens. During the same decade, other countries follow suit.
1983 - An unidentified space probe lands in Zaire (Now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo). The probe transforms into a 'warp gate', which allows the alien race known as "Intruder 1" to enter. Really, "Intruder 1" are the same race as the aliens picked up in Roswell 30+ years earlier. They gain a foothold quickly and expand, with the apparent intent to conquer Earth. The UN renames itself the United Earth Government (UEG) and upgrades it's peacekeeping force to the United Earth Armed Forces (UEAF) to combat the invasion.
Earth is declared a global war zone, and the UEG take charge. A UEG President is elected from among the delegates to make executive decisions.
1984 - 6 months after the probe landed, it is destroyed by the UEAF. "Intruder 1" changes it's tactics from a full-on invasion to guerrilla activities, possibly intended to steal supplies to allow them to buy time until reinforcements arrive. The UEAF continue destroying these pockets of resistance for the next 3 years, declaring a total victory in 1987. In truth, it is unknown how many aliens survived.
1991 - The supervillian Dreadnaught assassinates the UEG President, falsely claiming he was an impostor planted by "Intruder 1". The incident causes the creation of the UEAF Black Ops group "MUTE", whose purpose is to fight supers opposed to the UEG.
