April 8th-15th, 21XX AD: During an expedition/archaeological dig for Mesozoic plant life, a young ambitious scientist named Dr. Edward Cain stumbles upon the ruins of an old laboratory. As he explores the ruins, he discovers the facility belonged to one Dr. Thomas Light, a famous scientist known for his advancements in medical and robotic technologies. He reads the records of Dr. Light, mostly intact due to the advanced technologies he developed. Eventually, he stumbles upon a large capsule attached to a large computer terminal. He notices the 'X' markings surrounding the capsule, and decides to examine the terminal. He discovers that the capsule contains Dr. Light's genetically altered infant son, Xavier. He pries the capsule's protective shielding off, revealing the baby. After a short period of study, the capsule mysteriously opens, with the terminal denoting the end of a thirty year diagnostic. After the purging of cryogenic material, Dr. Cain takes the baby into his arms and makes for his home in Abel City.
A period of fourteen years, 21XX AD: Dr. Cain and his wife Mary raise Xavier Light as their own son, amazed at his astounding growth and adaptive manner of learning. By the age of 13, he had already completed schooling through high school. It is during X's fourteenth birthday, that Dr. Cain establishes his 'Replicant Humanoid' theorem, which the UN approves of in the wake of recent work shortages and pollution problems. The Replicant Humanoids, or 'Reploids' for short, are genetically altered humanoids based on Xavier's DNA who could do not only the work of the average man, but also work in dangerous, polluted zones of the world, as they are stronger and more resistant than humans. Within a year, Reploids make up forty-seven percent of the world's population.
April 15th, 21XX AD, Shortly After Xavier Light's 15th Birthday: Several Reploids in Abel City turn towards their weaker human peers and causes havoc throughout the city, causing crime throughout the city using their superhuman attributes. In the wake of these crimes, and the rise of these 'Maverick' Reploids, Dr. Cain, his latest Reploid Sigma, and INTERPOL form a special paramilitary police unit called the 'Special Reploid Tactics Law Enforcement' which would later be known by a more popular title, the 'Maverick Hunters'. It's during this chaotic starting period for the Hunters that Sigma confronts the 'Red Demon', a world famous and powerful Maverick who appeared during the outbreak. Sigma eventually incapacitates the 'Red Demon', though he loses his right arm. He takes the Maverick back to Maverick Hunter Headquarters and eventually tames him. The former Maverick reveals his name is 'Zero', (this is thought to be an alias, no one knows what his true name is.) Zero and Xavier eventually become the best of friends through several operations together.
June 4th, One Year Later: Sigma suddenly calls the Maverick Hunters under his command together and incites rebellion against the Maverick Hunters, and the world at large. Xavier feels betrayed, but through the help of Zero, regains composure, and joins the Maverick Hunters in a new war.

This is what I have so far. Yes, as if you couldn't tell, it's my attempt at a gritty reboot of Mega Man X, replacing the robots with superhumans. More details to come in the near future. I have a lot of material written out, and it will eventually be posted here.
