X-Men
By @Anastácio Robinson Ferreira nunes
In a grungier 90s Earth, where mutant fear simmers beneath grunge anthems and neon lights, Vergil exists as an enigma. Born with the X-Gene, he manipulates shadows into tangible weapons and shields, a power he uses to silently dismantle anti-mutant operations from the fringes. His past is a self-imposed void, every memory a painful echo, but a new, more sinister organization - the Purifiers - threatens to expose every mutant on the planet. Vergil's desperate desire to remain unseen clashes with the rising tide of violence, forcing him into a reluctant alliance with a nascent group of mutants. He must decide if his shadow-bound existence is enough to protect a world that hates him, or if he needs to step into the harsh light to save it all.

Pulse30
By @Dodo Hodo
In the grimy, neon-lit streets of 90s Rio, Pulse, a young man haunted by a childhood diagnosis of a fatally blocked aorta, navigates a world where every breath is a countdown. His secret? A devastating 'Jawbreaker' punch, an ability he’s meticulously honed, capable of shattering bone and resolve alike. But this power comes at a cost, each forceful strike straining his already fragile heart. The city's criminal underbelly, rife with ruthless gangs and brutal enforcers, senses his weakness and sees opportunity. Pulse is dragged into a relentless war for survival, not just against the external forces threatening Rio, but against his own ticking clock. Can he carve out a legacy before his heart gives out, or will his ultimate weapon become his ultimate downfall?
