Superhumans
Being a superhero isn't some sort of secret identity thing (even though some people do that), but instead an actual job! You can get powers from reprogrammable crystals, which are often attached to objects such as mechanical devices, gauntlets, and even hats.
Crystal Programming
Crystal Programming is an art that involves adding, modifying, or removing aspects of a superpower the crystal provides. It runs through a code that is understood by the special kind of programmers, hackers and engineers.
It is said to make humans capable of manipulating reality to their will. This is why many people constantly fight for the universe's balance from those who abuse it. Thankfully, there is a limit included in each crystal that prevents humans and animals from gaining absolute power over their world and environment.
No one knows who invented the "limit", but according to Greek legend, it has been used by gods to teach humans and animals their place in the universe. Are those gods actually real, or is it a metaphor meant to warn mankind what happens when their ambiton goes unchecked? Only one way to find out...
