The Contingency - M&M supergroup

"The Congency Mansion At Night"

Background

It's the early 1960's, Basically the first big, public superhero event of the current generation was in 1961. Superman prevented the spacecraft of the soon-to-be Fantastic Four from crashing into Metopolis in the aftermath of their disastrous mission into space. The group discovered their new powers and after a brief rampage by a distraught Thing, who was restrained by Superman and the others until he could regain his wits, they decided to join together to form the Fantastic Four. Superman was extended an invitation, but declined it, though he is a staunch ally of the FF. Superman had been active before this, but he had never before acted so overtly. Similarly there had been rumors of a caped crusader with a bat motif in Gotham. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are indeed "Silver Age" heroes, though I'm considering having there had been previous incarnations during the "Golden Age." There were heroes during the Golden Age, the JSA and Invaders, etc.

After that other heroes started showing up and the Justice League and Avengers were formed. Shortly after the formation of the Avengers they and the Justice League they had the classic misunderstanding and fight, revolving around the Hulk. This was the catalyst for the Hulk leaving the team and even though the two teams put aside they're differences, they still don't see eye-to-eye. While the members of the Justice League certainly have they're problems, they see the Avengers as being unstable and to some degree self-centered. They're likely to let they're own feelings and personal issues get in the way of what needs to be done. Furthermore, the League holds themselves to, perhaps, a slightly higher moral standard, though neither group kills they're enemies. The brawl was several weeks ago, and the Avengers have subsequently found Captain America.

We are using the DC Adventures rulebook, which is identical to Mutants and Masterminds 3rd Ed.

Headquarters

The Contingency "Mansion" is actually a scavenged UFO from the attacks back in '59. It has been outfited with every modern convience including dish washer and trash compactor. It is largely automated, but a small staff may be optional. Dr. Sapiens is "Just on the verge of figuring out how this accused thing works." But he's been saying that for a while now. It stays put in hills arround LA, but it capable of space flight (Earth-Moon) and deep sea operstions. Its spaces have been coverted into living quarters suitable for human habitation. The center top of the ship has a clear dome now contains a sundeck, wetbar, and swimming pool.

The thing is larger than a cruise ship so its huge. There is also a large flat balcony area for gardening and plotted plants. In combat and cruising, blast shields lower giving the ship a smoothed disk-like profile. (Shields are partially closed in the photos.) The ship can travel over Mach 2, and can reach earth orbit. The ships' hyperdrive is still inoperable. Dr. Sapiens claims, "I'll have the accursed thing working any day now. I'm just on the verge of figuring it out." However, he has been saying that for a long time.
