There’s is a monumental challenge at hand; the creation of another institution for the gifted. During the last age of mutant surfacing, most of the X-Men were scattered with the destruction of the Starbuck School for the Gifted; at least for the 10th time in a row. The school, 20 years before then, had become a mutant headquarters instead of a school; new students weren’t even accepted anymore. However, the school had become a fighting ground. For whatever reason, the thought of making mutant kind look innocent had faded away and the thought of fighting back against humanity was the main focus at the time; that was the institute’s downfall.
The U.S. Military could no longer stand for the mutant interference that seemed to sweep the nation. With that, a new type of technology, developed by Arnold Cornwallis, a Neo S.H.I.E.L.D. operative, was used in the annihilation of the institution and all that dwelled within it. Upon the destruction of the institution, the U.S. Military reinstated the “Mutant Registration Act of 2003” to try to limit mutant activity in the United States and possibly aboard. This act was headed by the new president of the United States of America, Jonis Richards. By this time, America is still the most hated country in the world and hasn’t seemed to have gained any popularity; however, America has gained more riches during this time.
Matthew Starbuck, the founder of the Starbuck Institution, worked hard to rebuild, re-locate and re-populate his school. His daughter, Amalia, is a mutant as well.
Mutants and mutant defenders alike were outraged with the registration act being reinstated and this act not only applied to mutant walking around amongst humans but mutants not even born yet; in that light, expectant mutant mothers had to register their babies while those infants weren’t even born yet. It's a bad time to be a mutant. That is why the Starbuck Institution for the Gifted was established as a last safe haven for mutants. Humans, mutants, mythical creatures are all fighting each other for dominance. How will all of them co-exist together?
