Victory V Resistance

Overview
Victory V Resistance is resistance movement against Norsefire Party.

History
After gaining power in 1999 through a pandemic Norsefire Party began to dismantle democracy and opress all who opposed them. All non-white, non-Christian, non-conservative became enemies of the state. The so called "Rehabilitation Centers" were established where metahumans were impisoned.

In 2015 the lone survivor of HMS Tintagel, Penny Black, joined ARGUS and was sent to infiltrate Great Britain, establish resistance and overthrow Norsefire.

When some of Penny's team of revolutionaries were identified, a propaganda campaign was launched, smearing Penny's good name and denouncing her as a terrorist, and co-conspirator of Adrian Veidt and Jon Osterman. Though Britain had its share of those who did not subscribe to the state-sponsored claims against Penny, it became all too difficult for Penny and her team to operate with too many Norsefire supporters openly attacking them on sight or notifying the Fingermen of their whereabouts. Forced to lay low and work more in the shadows, the Resistance had its progress stalled.

Then came V, a revolutionary with a Guy Fawkes mask, a flair for the dramatic, and a personal vendetta against the Norsefire leadership. V escalated things considerably, putting the Fingermen on high-alert. When the Fingermen began openly killing metahumans and minorities as a fear tactic to cause the likes of Penny Black and V to surrender themselves to the authorities or risk further escalation, the Norsefire brought another enemy upon themselves: The Elite.

The Elite were composed of four metahumans and a magician. All of which had escaped from Norsefire's many 'rehabilitation camps'. These fugitives were led by none other than Penny's own son, Manchester Black. The Elite engaged in direct attacks against the Fingermen in response to Norsefire's bigotry and the lies told about Chester's mum.
