The year is 1962. JFK is in the White House, the space race is going strong, the Cold War looks set to get hot any second now, and the Vanguard keep the earth safe from all manner of extraterrestrial threats. Wait, what?!
Ah yes, the Vanguard, one of the Earth's greatest superhero teams alongside groups like the Nuclear Family and the Aegis Brigade. Superheroes have existed since the turn of the century, mainly pulp heroes who were lacking in powers for the most part. By the start of World War 1, mutants began to appear, people born with unearthly power. There was a resurgence of magic that allowed sorcerors to walk the planet again, and aliens from beyond the furthest star began to investigate the earth!
The Vanguard were the first and oldest among these groups, the ones who crushed the Axis powers into dust. Even now they are the United States greatest potential weapon against the USSR and their own metahumans, the Winter Guard.
On the outset, this fantastic league of extraordinary men and women appear to be as wholesome as the Superfriends...but as with all celebrities, things are very different behind closed doors. Drug habits, affairs with their teammates, affairs with supervillains, affairs with their own sidekicks (No younger than what the site rules allow) dirty dealings with politicians... As far as the public knows, they're being watched by an army of pure paragons, but the reality is far worse than what they could imagine.
