The premise of Wanted is that all the world\'s super-villains decided to band together in 1986 and use their vast collective powers — including mad science, magic and mind control — to eliminate all the world\'s superheroes and rewrite reality in their own dark image; in essence an in-story retcon. Prior to this the world was a brighter, more hopeful place (a clear reference to the end of the Silver Age). Superheroes are remembered as fiction (as they are in the real world), and behind the scenes a cabal of the leading super-villains run the entire world.
\"Mama\'s boy\" Wesley Gibson discovers that his recently-assassinated father was a super-criminal called The Killer, and that Wesley has inherited his perfect aim and uncanny skill with any weapon. Wesley enters a new life, and must deal with the most dangerous and evil people in the world — whose ranks now include Wesley himself. After being approached by the Fox, another super-villain, Wesley quits his job and joins the Fraternity, the super-villain society\'s moniker. After a period of training, in which Wesley is desensitized to violence and given to repine of any nature, Wesley severs the last links to his previous life. (He breaks up with his girlfriend, knowing she cheated on him with his best friend, who he simply killed.) Wesley becomes the right hand of the super scientist Professor Seltzer, who is a member of the leading council of the Fraternity.
