Poseidon's Flood

Poseidon's Flood is an event in Universe 1's history. Heroes and villains alike banded together to stop Poseidon from flooding the world. The event resulted in the formation of alliances, including Hell's Kitchen.

Summary of Events
In an attempt to get noticed, the villain Poseidon began to melt the ice caps, flooding the world. For reasons ranging from "protecting the innocent" to "this sounds fun," superpowered indivuals of all alignments stepped up to stop the destruction.

Chef Killsy and Sugar Shock rallied as many people as they could to collect ingredients for a giant sponge cake to soak up the flood water while the others searched for the source. The cake was so large it had to be mixed with the aid of Swagnetism's powers and baked with the help of Backburner. Finding they worked well together, the four formed Hell's Kitchen and Backburner became a villain.

Meanwhile, at the North Pole, an epic battle raged. Justice, Boogie Knight, with help from Snowbody and XiLophone fought Poseidon to stop the flooding once and for all. Zealot also came to aid, but was too late. Boogie Knight sent a message to Alpha, who was coming to eradicate the Earth's corruption, for help, but this message proved fruitless. As Poseidon attempted to crush the heroes under tons of water, Snowbody and Justice managed to hold off the attack. Snowbody gave his life, but Justice continued and ripped Poseidon in half and threw him into the Sun, although this did not kill him forever. Meanwhile, XiLophone was saved from the brink of death and brought back home.
