So, there are three main settings, i have been working on as of late.
Times Are’a Changing
Throughout history there are records of people holding near magical abilities. These people were all Superhumans or Supers as they would come to be called. These stories and records wre all relegated to being myths and made up. This belief publicly changed in the early 1900’s in 1917 when a Super called the Colonel came into prominence. He was a Tank Commander taking part in the Battle of Arras; more specifically he was part of the assault on Monche-Le-Preux. The tanks had assaulted the position in the middle of the night not knowing the assault time had been changed, they went in and for a while they were successful.
Then the defending force became aware that the tanks had no infantry support, they stormed the tanks causing much devastation. That however was not the worst of it, the Allies had ordered a bombardment on the area. It was as he saw enemy and ally alike dying around him that his powers fully manifested. Up until that moment he was not able to do much actively, only being able to roughly sense where metal was. After that however, he became capable of so much more. He lifted the charred carcasses of the tanks around him and formed them into a massive dome that could be seen by any observing the battle.
Prior to this the existence of Supers had been kept a secret, mostly, being only known of in rumors. After this they emerged into public view, both in their home countries and in the battlefields of the Great War. For a time there was much restlessness with the sudden revelation of Supers, but they did much good in the Great War, and during the period of armistice that happened in between World War One and World War Two. Soon enough nearly every major country of the world had their own forces of Supers.
During the Second Great War, every Country involved sent Supers in to fight. Some sent more than others, or sent them in secret on certain covert missions. While they were involved, they did not become a major part of the fighting until a covert mission discovered just why Germany and her allies had so many Supers. They had been performing experiments on people, to create Supers. Up until then having superpowers was considered a privilege of birth by many and luck. Nazi Germany was able to discover what it was that gave Supers their mysterious abilities.

This would start in ww2, but go throughout the years.
the second is Emergence of Heroes, which is an expansive original setting i have been working, the first rp of the same name will have to do with the events that reveal the once hidden heroes adn villains and such.
Littered throughout history there have been things that people do not understand. Call them magic, or superpowers, or mutations they have existed. It is a little known fact, but Superheroes exist, they have been around for decades if not longer. Very few truly know of them, but many have probably heard of them in passing, but quickly forgot the information seeing it as useless drivel or superstition. Despite their obscurity Supers have been integral to certain historic events of many nations of the World. The first unofficial involvement of Supers, was during WW 1. It was during a Battle in France, involving British soldiers that the collective Superpowers of the World really became aware of Supers, as being more than just fictitious tales.
The British Super, mentioned in certain reports under the Moniker of Chrome. He was a Metal manipulator and was part of a Tank brigade that was advancing on town called Monche-Le-Preux during the Battle Of Arras. There was miscommunication and the Brigade advanced without infantry support. After a brief period of initial success, the tanks were swarmed and many were taken out. An artillery strike started at the same time, it was during this time that Chrome became known by the higher ups in the British Militray and Government after he saved many of his companions by using his powers.
That was the first occurrence of Supers in Warfare, but not the last. After a secret Summit, the countries involved began to discover some Supers n their own nations. Not all Countries were ignorant about the existence of individuals with powers, however. Japan for example had known for centuries, as had a few other countries, but the information was heavily restricted. A Super recorded under the Title of Ronin had fought for the Tokugawa Era and there were even some reports of him helping usher in the Meiji Era, but such accounts were treated with skepticism.
Needless to say, the discovery of Supers by the various governments changed how wars were fought, to a point anyways. They were deemed as something similar to highly dangerous weapons, to be kept hidden and heavily controlled. This was the main reason why those what were known of and had contributed to the U.S. and other Countries were kept hidden and secret. This did not mean that Supers did not exist beyond those known of by the Governments however. There are Plenty of Supers, especially in the U.S., but they are located mostly within certain cities, due to a quirk of geography for the most part.
Since Supers were banned from Warfare in the 70’s following Vietnam, Supers, good and bad had had a unspoken rule. They can fight and combat each other, but they will not do anything to risk the revelation of Supers to the world. For decades this has held true with most Super involvement being kept hidden by both the Government and the Supers themselves. However things changed in Early Spring of 2017, the Several of the main Cities in the U.S. were attacked and as the Supers of the Cities reacted, the incidents were Recorded and released. This marks a period that will eb known as the Emergence of Heroes
