Magic has existed long before the GRV, but was only put on the forefront of discussion thanks to incredibly rare Supers with the power to manipulate those forces.

Outside of 10 special cases recorded, those with an affinity for magic are actually immune to the GRV. The magic community is closely knit and secretive, not sharing the details of how magic works outside of those already shown to have talent. Magic ranges from rituals, thaumaturgy, elemental control, to summoning. Its variety and mystery makes it hard to track by those unschooled in the arts. Practitioners who have met with government officials only disclose that the definition covers three basic forms: Natural, Arcane, and Divine.

Natural magic is covers the aspects of nature: Basic elemental control, nature itself and, to lesser extents the human body. Blood magic is considered a dark extension of Natural magic.
Arcane covers a much broader spectrum of magic than the other two forms. Elemental conjuration, illusion, charm magics, and most ritual magics are considered Arcane.
Divine magic comes from contracts with beings beyond. What that means has never been explained, but it implies that Divine magic comes with severe penalties if talked about. Summoning, Miracles, Divinations, most forms of Healing magic, and a handful rituals are considered Divine. On the darker spectrum, Necromancy is considered Divine.

Despite over 50 years of existence in the public eye, all Supers deal with the stigma of showing the symptoms of a virus that strikes fear in the hearts of almost the whole world. While now there are more people who are supportive, there are still vocal anti-Super groups that fear that Supers will bring about some kind of plague that will kill them all. Most of them are focused on Monstrous Supers and Class 4 and 5 Capes. The most notable and extreme of these hate groups will be covered in Major Players.

Supers maintain the same rights as citizens, but their powers require them to register with either the government, the Super Union, or similar organizations to classify their power types and, if necessary, take precautions to help Supers manage their powers.

There have been a number of Class 5 power related incidents around the world that laid the ground work for this legislation. One of the more notable was known as the Dubai Blast. In 1974, an unregistered Super vigilante with Class 5 teleportation powers, while in the process of stopping a mugging, lost control of his powers and wiped the city of Dubai off the face of the map, himself included. Thousands were dead and the crater remains a memorial for the city and its lost population.

Pop culture as we know it has changed very little as the likes of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman, and especially the X-men and Avengers have shaped and inspired Capes and Villains. The most notable of heroes are treated like celebrities and most Capes have jobs outside of 'Heroing'
