Cars crashing, hospitals suddenly loss all advantages of medical machinery, planes crashed into the ground, boats became stranded, and people were loss, confused, and angry.
Riots and Looting broke loose the day after.

Of course some mundane mutations were well hidden like suddenly being able to speak backwards or having full joint controls
Others were...far more potent. In New York, Baltimore district, 1 woman with complete pyrokinesis managed to form a gang strong enough to control the district like a remote city in itself.
That's the thing about most of these powers...alone it was only able to rival a group of people. But it's true strength was to rally people, soon entire groups centered around each awakeners had more ruling power than the governments.
Flame Heads took over half of New York, Schwarze Wölfe or Black Wolves managed to take over Berlin, The Dague organization began to amassing more and more support accross France. These groups were becoming the new way of the world, but that doesn't mean the governments have been quiet.
July 20th
The Goverments accross the world have been tracking down and enlisting any powers they can find. Training them, equipping them, and using them to counter the rampant "Villains" as they so labeled them.
The Hero Initiative was born.
But those with strong powers simply refused and ruled over a area or try living as a ordinary person in hopes of keeping their current happiness.
The worse country to have this was Japan. Maybe it was due to the near worship of fiction like figures turning real, or due to the various regions being hard to reach, easy to fortify.
But never underestimate the desperate....
Because a New Hero emerges when all seems lost.
