1954.

That was the year mankind realized the world as they knew it would change for better or for worse. It all started with the appearance of a colossal beast that had been sinking ships off the coast of a Japanese island only to head toward Tokyo, Japan, bringing with it a sea of fire and destruction that made even the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima pale in comparison. It took the sacrifice of a scarred man of science to bring an end to the wrath of the monster the world would call Godzilla... or at least that's how it should've ended. For sadly, the man's sacrifice was all but in vain. A year later, Godzilla returned, and he did not come alone.

One after another, other gigantic beasts began surfacing; creatures that had once laid claim to the planet long before humanity, and were now willing and ready to take it back. For that reason, these monsters were fittingly labelled "Titans" after a race of giants that preceded the gods of Greek Mythology. If that weren't enough, other surprises began emerging. In a small town in China, a baby with bio-luminescent qualities heralded the rise of the Meta-human (or Quirk-Users as they came to be called), some even becoming superheroes as a result. Ancient civilizations pre-dating the first human empire such as the feline Ctarl-Ctarl and the avian Silgrians began to emerge. Finally, magic in various forms began to appear.

In the midst of all this, an organization known as Monarch that had been formed after Godzilla's initial incursion in 1954 was forced to come out of the shadows and recruit the best of the best to help humanity survive an ever-changing world and the Titans who were slowly but surely regaining dominion.

Their mission: Discovery and defense in a time of monsters.
