The city of Heartania has always been a bustling metropolis of technology, enlightenment and unity. It is home to many heroes and public protectors, stalwart guardians of all that is good. However, with generations of individuals doing good in this fair city, a horde of evil will always sprout from it.
In the parallel universe of Earth-β the year is 2065 and it has been 18 months since the insane nuclear-powered villain; Fat Man sought to wipe Heartania off of the map with meltdown at the Heartania Power Plant.
Heroes intervened, lead by the paragon of virtue; Blake O'Crowley - The Paladin, but empowered by the active meltdown Fat Man was simply too powerful. Even with all of their powers combined the heroes could not stop Fat Man, they could not stop the meltdown but The Paladin had a secret weapon; a last resort. If they couldn't stop the blast, they could move it. And so The Paladin repurposed his Teleport Drive into a Teleport Bomb and blasted the Power Plant right down to its foundations into the furthest reaches of space, aborting the crisis and saving Heartania. But unfortunately the bomb needed constant maintenance and so Blake was forced to stay behind and go down with the rest of the plant, just as Fat Man was seemingly able to escape; his powers weakened by the heroes' Pyrrhic victory.
The city was saved with the doomed plant sent across the stars... but at the cost of The Paladin - Blake O'Crowley.
Heroes and even certain villains alike grieved and licked their wounds but eventually a status quo would reemerge...
It was Esteban Vargas - The Seer - Blake's ex-teammate who came across The Paladin's contingency plans; a powerful A.I. network known as P.A.L.A.D.I.N. which consisted of a backup of Blake's consciousness which would serve as a mentor to the heroes, as well as four prototype Paladin-1 Peacekeeper Bots to be commanded in battle by The Seer. While this could potentially stir up controversy among the citizens of Heartania the heroes mostly excepted P.A.L.A.D.I.N. as an extension of their lost comrade.
And so, in present day the potential threat of Fat Man's return to bring more destruction to Heartania looms in the distance but by-and-large things are starting to improve... even if super-powered villains were still very much a problem.
Our story begins as the Blake O'Crowley of Earth-Alpha; The Knight finds himself lost in another realm, the parallel universe of Earth-Beta with no way to return home...
