Seventeen years ago, a crystal magically appeared in San Francisco and every pregnant woman within a five mile radius immediately gave birth to a super powered baby, regardless of the period of her pregnancy.

Reality television has been cranked up to an extreme level, as super powered teenagers participate in a televised battle, which may or may not result in death, to win a coveted membership spot on the only government super team in the world, The Power Generation.


Last year’s season finale resulted in both the final two competitors dying… and a spike in the ratings. Thus, this year, the producers of the show have lifted certain restraints, allowing the young heroes to go all out in combat and they have allowed the robotic enforcers in the ring, Paladins, to also use maximum force against the kids.

To be fair, at least the Superboy example has a secret society thing to cover up what's going on. With this series...I'd like to think that while our society tends to watch some awful, fucked-up shit, we've at least advanced as a species to the point where if someone DIED, they'd at least try to make it so that it wouldn't happen again instead of making it MORE likely.

I don't think making it done by a secret society makes it better, in fact, I think it just makes it worse. This isn't like Gail Simone's Gen 13 Reboot, where the point was to make people and other things for exploitative purposes including watching them die in unique and interesting ways. Unless that is their final goal, I'm not seeing their actions as anything logical or well thought out.
