::The Intolerance Act Phase I::
As the number of mutant activity has been rising across the states and country, an organization that had been keeping completely to the shadows has decided to take their first step into control. The F.O.H: Friends Of Humanity, have gathered their higher ups and wealthier members and came to the decision of making their first step to "defend humanity against the mutant menace".
They have bribed and blackmailed their way into gaining some control over at least three states from the background, pushing state laws to be passed for all mutants to be made to register themselves and to receive a license to use their powers as they will be legally seen as having weapons. Those who do not, are to be incarcerated for breaking the new law that has been passed.
What remained unsaid was the fact that the police and other officials would be either cooperating with or turning a blind eye to the F.O.H members that collect the captured mutants one by one to either make examples of them or to test their 'cure' on them.
::Meanwhile::
It has yet to be discovered that the Xavier Institute for the Gifted is actually a school and sanctuary for mutants and the secret is being held strongly. As far as the X-Men although they are keeping low key about who they are, they still have the goal of trying to send the message of mutant-kind not being a menace as a whole. They use their powers for the benefit of humanity, and to prove mutants can be heroes. They have yet to become well known but it is only a matter of time before they appear on the news as more than just mutant sightings.
The location of Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants is currently unknown to any besides the actual members of the affiliation. This does not mean that they are not active. With the recent "squeeze" on mutants due to the law being created to identify any and all mutants with threat of arrest if cooperation is not made, the Brotherhood has become more restless and more violent. They believe that sometimes violence needs to be used to bring forth justice and that a revolution is called for. They have become more aggressive both in general and in finding recruits.
Somewhere in the heart of Egypt, another organization has been slowly forming. More dangerous, more cunning. Only the most powerful mutants are being examined as potential members. This group; Apocalypse's Hand. Their name has not yet been released and the members have been ordered to keep their ties to the affiliation strictly secret. It is not yet time for them to make their move. Not yet time for their leader to give his permission to act on plans set out for them....
