Background Guide Marvel Summit DMUN-2018 Executive Board Aditya Singh(Chair) Kushal Mital (Co-Chair) Arushi Tripathi (Moderator) Committee Overview:- 24th April, The world, nay, THE UNIVERSE is in chaos. Fathers saw their sons turn to dust, Kings vanished so did friends and their family. The Avengers have never been in such a situation, dust all around them, realizing….. They lost. They lost half the universe. The Mad Titan Thanos has carried out the iconic snap! But that is not all, fate seems to have different plans for some. A interdimensional rift caused due to the Space Stone opened a temporary portal which caused The elite Mutant Race of the XMEN to be drawn in into the universe. The mind and Soul Gems have “enlightened” Professor Xavier and Logan with the events which took place and potentially life changing truth, a secret which could be the key to avenging the universe. So what will it be - The Mutants Untied with the Avengers or an outright war for the universe and against the Last survivor of Titan? Remember - “United We Stand, Divided We Fall.” 1 Committee will take place at a freeze date of 30th April, When Anthony Stark meets Professor Xavier. Classes of enhanced humans:- Skill Skill heroes are completely normal humans who have reached proficiency with a specific type of skill which could deem them a lethal weapon in their own right. Black Widow, Hawkeye and Okoye come under this class. Tech These are either machines themselves or humans in suits of armor that make them extremely powerful. They may also be tech heroes in case they are assisted by technological weapons. Tony Stark, Rhodey, Rocket Racoon and Shuri come under this class. Science Anyone who received their powers as a result of earth based science. Individuals who were enhanced by lab tests, radioactive rays and other chemical alterations fall into this category. Steve Rogers and Bruce Banner fall under this. Cosmic Enhanced humans of the Cosmic class generally come from space or other Realms or have some form of godly powers. Thor falls under this. Mutant These individuals have powers given to them by evolution. Many mutants on Earth don’t even know that they are mutants. There are notably powerful Omega class mutants, with powers of scale, like Magneto and Storm. There are also less powerful mutants who have powers that are used on a more individual level, such as Beast and Wolverine. 2 Major Events- 1) Wakanda ​ With the unexpected demise of the King Of Wakanda, in a odd turn of events, the Panther God materialized to announce Shuri as the new queen of Wakanda. A mysterious substance with properties similar to that of the Purple Flower have also arisen on the periphery of Wakanda.This flower has now healed lost Wakandan soil and battlegrounds .M’Baku is now the military general for Wakanda. The nation continues to mourn for they have listed their great king. Okoye still remains in shock from watching her friend and the one she was supposed to protect die. Rocket Raccoon is now a part of Wakanda’s technological development team led by Shuri herself. Captain America remains haunted by the loss of Bucky Barnes. Natasha Romanoff is still being treated to restabilize her after the battle of Wakanda.The arrival of Tony Stark had mixed responses.Many were relieved to see he was alive while some (Captain Rogers) did not really exchange words. With the reunion of the Original members, are the Avengers finally enough? 2)Earth-666(Our Earth) ​ The nations of the world have taken it upon themselves to establish a World Military Organization called the “Terrain Security Force”. Wakanda is not a part of this organisation. An interdimensional beacon for help was located to be signaling New York City’s coordinates.The outsource of this beacon has not been triangulated. Somehow the beacon seems to be originating from a pager. Meanwhile, General Thaddeus Ross has declared The Avengers as world criminals, the Terrain Security Force is now in pursuit of them. The Terrain Security Force is now also directing the United Nations to establish Martial Law on Earth. 3 3)Mutants ​ This odd race of “humans” has now entered our Earth. They are believed to be of an ancient race of genetically modified and advanced people capable of supernatural feats. The Terrain Force has not yet identified or even have knowledge of their presence. It seems as if they have never been part of this universe ( or were they….?)They seem to be having a connection to the Infinity Stones, especially Charles Xavier and The Wolverine. Sources suspect that perhaps they have walked this Earth as long as us, hidden in the shadows. Mutants- Stranger or Danger?? 4)The Enlightenment ​ When the interdimensional drift first dragged these mutants into a brave new world, they not only gained knowledge about this Earth but became keepers of a deep secret. Some now have a deeper connection to their powers and abilities due to unexplained causes. That is not all, Professor Xavier believes that with the knowledge he has obtained , The Avengers are the last hope for recovering Humanity’s loss. With the arrival of Tony Stark much shall be revealed . Meanwhile, Erik Lehnsherr is now an official member of the X-MEN. Though skeptical, Magneto tries to find himself in this world. Perhaps this knowledge is about the existence of a previously unknown weapon, or a tool in plain site? 5) Deadpool ​ This merc with a mouth is officially a part of MCU cannon. However he remains M.I.A after leaving for a mission saying “A MARVEL is on its way, thanks for the text Fury.” He is apparently in space. (Delegates please note you do NOT have Deadpool in committee for the simple reason he is a fourth wall breaking character and could kill anyone he wants). 4 6) ​Space Not even Korg can compensate for the utter desolation and despair the rest of the universe has seen. The Planet of Xandar was completely destroyed when Thanos went there determined to obtain the Power Stone.The Nova Corps no longer exist, implying that their is currently no check or balance in measure to ensure Law and Order in the Universe, or even the Galaxy. Though no official statements have been made, after coming to know of the mobilisation of Earth many systems of the galaxy have resorted to do the same.Havoc is all around. Anthony Stark, accompanied by Nebula began his descend to Earth in the Milano.Traces of dark magic have vanished, implying that the Mystic Arts and its users have been weakened. 5 Portfolio Stances 1.Anthony Stark(a.k.a Iron man) Genius, playboy, philanthropist- is there any other set of words than can better ​ explain the most likable MCU character of all time?? You could add strongest avenger to that list but that debate is for another time. The man we all know and love is the key to almost everything in the MCU. One of the only people to have predicted this “attack from out there” tony stark is undoubtedly the most important person when it comes to even having a chance at fighting Thanos, after all no one else could lay a finger on him and this guy made him bleed.But, he failed.He lost the closest person to a son. Witnessing Peter’s death has completely changed Tony.After reaching Earth Even though he knows of the dire situation they are in Tony tends to remain skeptical about forming an alliance with the X-Men and after everything that has happened to him, its quite understandable.Alongside that, he has not been able to contact Pepper after arriving to Earth. 2.Steve rogers(a.k.a Captain America) “The First avenger”, “Nomad” , “Cap” or whatever you want to call him, Steve Rogers is the undeniably the perfect leader and soldier. Ready to sacrifice anything for good cause or family Cap is instrumental in everything. The first avenger to see the potential of an infinity stone I think it’s safe to say Cap knows his stuff pretty well. The most well-known symbol of hope on earth, a battle against the mad titan without him would be absolutely pointless. Captain America is not only involved in every discussion that involves the avengers but always plays the biggest role in them (along with Tony of-course). Cap would do anything to make sure that the avengers have all the help that they can get in this fight against Thanos. Currently In Wakanda, Rogers is still contemplating losing his friend Bucky Barnes once again. Yet despite all that he has faced Steve Rogers there is nothing that will stop Cap from avenging his best friends Sam and Bucky. 3.Col. James Rhodes(a.k.a War machine) Best known for being Tony Stark’s best friend and sidekick....and well “partner” on the battlefield Rhodey is no less than Tony or any other avenger in any aspect. What he lacks in scientific knowledge when compared to Tony he makes up for with years of military experience and intelligence, and yes, he is weaker when compared to the other avengers but with his war machine suit he does put up a pretty good fight. Rhodey will play as big a role as Tony or Cap in the deliberations and as usual he sides with Tony with the fact being that they are against an alliance between these two groups. 6 4.Natasha Romanoff(a.k.a Black Widow) Everyone's favorite assassin and spy, Nat has cemented her place in the Avengers in spite of the fact that she has no enhancements (except a few gizmos from S.H.I.E.L.D) or any superhuman powers.
