Golden Age of Parahumans

The Golden Age was a brief period following the appearance of parahumans.

Prelude
Parahumans were secretly active for several years prior to their first public appearances.

Events
The first parahuman to publicly appear was Vikare.

The number of superheroes known to the public could be counted on both hands.

During the Golden Age, superheroism was the expectation of everyone with powers. The term "rogue" was coined during this time.

Vikare's death in 1989 is generally considered the end of the Golden Age.

Trivia

 * The "Golden Age" is also a term for the early days of superhero comics, which may suggest that Worm's historical "Golden Age" resembled or was inspired by this era of comics.
