20The story starts with three groups of [[CursedWithAwesome genetically altered]] young adults, each having been engineered by a not-so-secret company called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin GenetiCorp]]. Some of these kids volunteered for the experiments- however, others did not. The first batch of super-humans made in this project were deemed ineffective. The kids were [[KickTheDog thrown out]] onto the streets, with no family to remember them. It was a big suprise when they turned out to have powers after all. [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Powerful powers]]. They formed a group called [[TitleDrop Genesis]], whose main goal was to expose the unethical and horrible treatment by [=GenetiCorp=] while dismantling the establishment. The second batch were called Agents. No, not ''[[Film/TheMatrix those]]'' agents. They were at [=GenetiCorp=]'s beck and call. Agents weren't as powerful as the members of Genesis, however, they were well loved by the citizens for being peacekeepers... Unlike Genesis. A third project was started on a while later to replace the Agents: Project Omega. These individuals were almost as powerful as the members of Genesis, but they were confused about their purpose, so escaped from the [=GenetiCorp=] headquarters. The Agents and Genesis rush to recruit these lost souls to help with their cause, but [=GenetiCorp=] has their own plans...

25!!''GENESIS'' contains examples of:

28%%* BattleAmongstTheFlames: Averted, but almost played straight.
29* BerserkButton: Matthew despises his ArchEnemy Angel, to the point that someone merely having similar characteristics to him- such as blue hair- can set him off.
30%%* BigDamnHeroes: Stella to Austin. Subverted in that she's just trying to win his trust.
31%%* BornUnlucky: Poor Austin has to be the most unlucky person in the world.
32* CityWithNoName: [[BlatantLies Averted]]. The city's name is
33%%* ClassifiedInformation: The Omega Project.
34%%* ClearMyName: Genesis.
35%%* ClusterFBomb: Hannah drops one of these when getting shot in the arm. Anthony drops these on a regular basis.
36%%* CrapsackWorld: The world before the start of [=GenetiCorp=]'s projects.
37%%* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything:
38%%** "He was all fingers and ill-will, getting revenge for her revenge and targeting almost any place that may have been sensitive to feverish strokes of his hands and fingers..."
39%%** "....Oh my god. Ugh..UGH. OH GOD! S-so..So good! AAAGH."
40%%* FauxDeath: Angeline pulls this off when rescuing Keno. Only for a couple of minutes, though.
41%% * Getting Crap Past The Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
42%%* GoBackToTheSource
43%%* GovernmentConspiracy
44%%* GreyAndGrayMorality: There is no true "good" or "bad" side.
45%%* HeroicSacrifice: On Anthony's part. Became rather useless once Keno decided to jump in and save him at the last second.
46* HowDoIShotWeb: Amber can steal another person's ability, but that doesn't mean that she instinctively knows how to use it. She also has no idea how to constantly maintain her default form after her power upgrade.
47%%* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: The RedShirtArmy {{Mooks}}.
48* ImprovisedWeapon: Angeline uses syringes, needles, nails, spoons, forks, poles, toasters, frying pans, paint buckets, pencils, pens, cans, road signs, your grandma, your dog, anything she can get her hands on to fight.
49* InformedAbility: As stated in one of her interviews, Amber did gymnastics competitively in high school and is very skilled with it, but has never actually used it in a fight.
50%%* InsideAComputerSystem
51%%* IndyPloy
52* IronicNickname: Angeline, nicknamed "Angel", is not angelic as her nickname would imply, but is instead a depraved woman who enjoys inflicting pain and blowing stuff up.
53%%* ItsPersonal
54%%* KnowledgeBroker
55%%* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Just about most of the Omegas should have this early on.
56* LazyBum: Ryner always prefers to sleep or laze around, to the point that he'd rather do it than actively save his own life.
57* MoodSwinger: Amber can go from ecstatic, hyper and silly to dead serious in a heartbeat.
58* ManHug: The [[HotBlooded hot-blooded]] do-gooder Jowee isn't afraid to give manly man hugs. Overly-forceful clap on the back included. Pain shall be met.
59%%* NeverRecycleABuilding: The reason the Genesis base exists.
60* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Matthew believes that he should be the only one to have the pleasure of taking the life of his ArchEnemy Angel.
61* PowerCopying: Stella has the power of mimicry, which allows her to learn new techniques just by watching others perform them.
62* PressurePoint: Quinn fights her opponents by attacking their pressure points, usually [[TheParalyzer paralyzing]] them, though she's also capable of the scarier (though more difficult to accomplish) TouchOfDeath.
63%%* RedOniBlueOni: Angeline and Anthony.
64%%* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Genesis' philosophy.
65* SelectiveObliviousness: For Angelina, romance is troublesome, so she prefers to ignore her real feelings most of the time. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, she's the mistress of BelligerentSexualTension.

67%%* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness: The Agents.
68%%* StuffBlowingUp: Angel likes to blow stuff up. A lot.

72%%* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: [=GenetiCorp=]....!
73%%* WellIntentionedExtremist: Obviously Genesis.
74* WhatMeasureIsAMook: Anyone who works for [=GenetiCorp=] and [[NominalImportance isn't a named character]] are treated as disposable {{Mooks}} with guns. However, that Genesis view them this way in-universe is an indicator that they aren't [[GrayAndGreyMorality morally upstanding]] despite being the protagonists.
75%%* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: Where the hell is this city?
76%%* TheWoobie: Many a character falls into this category; Jowee, Keno, and Hannah just to name a few.
77%%* YouRebelScum: Said in some form to the Genesis by various types of [=GenetiCorp=] employees.
78%%* YourHeadASplode
