Silver is a mutant-friendly nightclub formerly located near SoHo in Manhattan (around West Houston and Lafayette Streets), but moved to East Houston in District X in 2009. On the outside it's just another generic red brick building, but on the inside resembles Queer as Folk’s Babylon or Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s The Bronze. There's a big dancefloor that takes up most of the club, a well-stocked bar to the side and small tables and stools set up around the dancefloor. There's also a metal rail-platform that goes around the perimeter which provides some more dance and schmoozing space.
There are two bouncers at the door. One is a psychometrist, who reads the psychic imprints on ID cards to determine if they're legitimate. The other is your generic super-strong musclehead. Cover is usually $8-12. There are bouncers inside the club, too, most of whom are muscleheads.
Silver is seen by many as New York City's only haven for young mutants. Many a runaway has stopped at Silver as a way station on their journeys, establishing a small and unofficial underground railroad of sorts. In August of 2006, a few of these runaways were kidnapped to be sold to organ harvesters, but were rescued by X-Force.
Over the years Silver has become a regular venue for the Xavier graduate crowd. Occasionally there has been trouble - the club is sometimes seen as a recruiting option for anti-human sympathizers such as the Preservers - but between the club's staff and its regulars, peace is generally maintained.
In 2008, Silver became a haven of a different sort when Apocalypse attacked New York. Sheltering humans and mutants alike, the club came under attack from David Angar, a disgruntled former patron who had been evicted by Mark for his anti-human attitudes. Joined by a gang of like-minded mutants, he forced entrance into Silver and the ensuing battle resulted in casualties on both sides.
