The Wondrous Web-Surfer!

Meanwhile, in another, another, another universe…

Welcome to the end of the third millennium!

Humanity's been starved for hope since the start of said millennium. Wishes for a better future hounded the stars in the sky for ages upon ages; a less agonizing time to exist in the hands of everyone instead of the powerful few. Much to their dismay (but not to their surprise), the future isn't the utopia they had dreamed it to be.
Instead, it's pretty much the same as the present. Except it's full of chaotic nonsense, because of course it is.

The universe as we know it is literally breaking and no one knows why; the expansive void humanity calls home is now crawling with errors left to fester and there's nothing anyone can do about it. These anomalies have a chance to mutate living things and bestow fantastical abilities upon them, paving the way for an era of 'supers': people whose lives revolve around crime — for lack of better words — whether that be participating, taking advantage of, or stopping them. There are no superheroes nor supervillains, after all, only people.
