The Marvel Universe meets Cyberpunk. Roughly a century prior, a massive cataclysm brought about the end of the “Age Of Heroes.” The disaster also destroyed most of civilization, resulting in a much, much worse world than before. (And considering how bad it was before, that’s saying a lot.) The world is now ran by massive Mega Corps (most notably Alchemax), the only police are the privatized Public Eye, and the entire planet is little more than a toxic deathball.
