The appalling violence of the Great Super War, lead by the United Supers Front, was tolling on the American society. Anyone who spoke out against it, was consequently targeted by supervillains, and then a superhero would destroy the whole area to kill one villain. As destructive as the policies were, people thought that they were being kept safe, when in reality the Super heroes had gambled away any possibilities for a sustainable society.
I'm the Gnome Guardian, a garden gnome brought to life by magic, and a verifiable super hero. This story isn't about me, but the one who liberated all of us, Red Mask. Red Mask, or Red, was a detective vigilante, and bonified humanitarian. See, Red Mask used to be an expert marksman. He would quickly end hostage situations, and stopped crime without killing a person.
After the War Red mask stopped using his sniper, and started a shelter to feed and house indigents. Red Mask was able to direct large charitable donations, and began to start a job program for the unemployed. He provided resources for all the criminals in the city, and my lawn was looking happier than ever.
Soon the U.S.F notice a decline in the budget provided by the government. It seemed to them that because crime was going down, less resources would be needed to allocate to the USF. That was when the Super Villain Marauder Hijacked a nuclear missile and begin the nuclear apocalypse.
Everyone watched in horror, the meeting was called for all Supers to report to our headquarters. Everyone was there, except Red Mask. We saved the world, and Marauder was brought to justice.
The Super Hero Captain Stan, head of the USF, was making an announcement. " People of America, the world is safe, and it is all thanks to God. He lead us to the evil Maurader and guided our hand in striking him down. So I ask everyone, is the USF not the good that we can give to the world. Is it not obvious that God has given us a sign." He looked up to the sky, and suddenly a recording came on, "Get Maurader, tell him plan Delta is a-go, launch the Nukes!, Woo Hoo. Ah, after this, those sheep will triple our funding."
