The US after getting hit with Blowouts labels anyone with superpowers as domestic terrorists that are free game to get CIA'd if they don't work for them like bootlickers.

The opening page states this all started in 2008, the height of the Great Recession and US Global War on Terror so it's easy to extrapolate why the US went to shit in the name of security and fighting "bio-terrorism" in the form of Mutants.
