After WW2 there was a man who inexplicably became the world's first super hero. He was superhumanly strong, he was faster than the blink of an eye, & no weapon on earth could seem to harm him. In his younger days the people gave him the moniker "Golden Boy" & while he grew oil to his late 30's he would make jokes about maybe taking the name Golden "Man" or something, the name stuck. He was the darling of the western world & a true hero of the people, he would often say that he just tried to be a good neighbor like Jesus says in the Bible. He was always public about his anxieties that people would hate him because he couldn't be everywhere at once. Still people held him in the highest esteem.

Until the civil rights movements & communism began to sweep the world. Suddenly disenfranchised people everywhere would make snide comments like "ubermench" & how it was awfully convenient that a tall blue eyed blonde somehow had these unnatural powers. They would run smear campaigns of truly hateful things to tarnish his Golden image. They cried out that if people were to be equal then everyone should be a super man. Golden Boy tried to appease them. He tried to reason with them, & eventually capitalized to their demands to study his powers with the goal of replicating them in others.

A few years after he was murdered by a communist terrorist organization, & thus began a very fierce war over his corpse to gather genetic material & synthesize his powers. Suddenly after a few gene therapies other super powered people began to emerge. Living political weapons, super terrorists, super soldiers, super criminals, & just a few super heroic people standing against a wave of opportunistic hate.
