>>784175So I think I outlined my general idea for the initial conflict before, but I'll go over it again as a refresher
So, the prolog involves Melville using his wealth to essentially start his own superhero team with some of the other kids in town. While Melville isn't exactly popular, the stuff he offers them is enough to get them into his superhero franchise idea. Founding members include Melville, Mandy, Chaz, Jerry, Max, Hansel, Posie and Asimov. The kids are all getting into it, but then Melville starts noticing he doesn't like what some members are doing. Jerry is violent and doesn't obey orders, and Hansel is weird and shady. He decides to establish a proper super hero license so only those with the license can actually play superheroes and also have to follow his established guidelines. One of these guidelines being you can't also be a criminal and if you are you have to be arrested.
This immediately means Hansel gets kicked off the team. Hansel isn't the most popular kid so initially there isn't a whole lot of pushback to the idea, but Jerry becomes pissed that Melville keeps trying to control them, as the new rules also state he isn't allowed to be as violent as he wants. Because of his he defects from the team alongside Hansel and forms his own super hero team with Robert and Curtis. the three of them then find themselves aligning with Lydia's gang who are also invested in sticking it to the group Melville and Posie are in.
So now there are two super hero groups, Mandy and Chaz are conflicted over their friend storming off and Melville was forced to hire lame kids like Dorothy to join his group. Soon, with two super hero groups running around more kids start forming villain groups to push back against them.
