User blog comment:Inferno Pendragon/Villains: Unleashed (MMO - yes, I've went insane)/@comment-1705775-20120827222712

my idea of the Shatter Earth is related to Destiny Force, with Earth being shattered the Destiny Force has caused thousands of new superhumans to be "born" or seek Earth out.. which explains why we have all these new characters cropping up.
