Well, yes but that is why it is world-hopping setting and why the factions' goals only
roughly coorespond to the tone and themes of their respective ages (which incidently they aren't genre-aware of as such; well maybe except for instances of Animal Man and Deadpool).
Silver Age Earth-616 and Pre-Crisis Silver Age Earth-One would therefore be worldlines under the Ascendant, and share some common rules reflected in both game mechanics and society. In both places it is nearly impossible for supers to accidentally kill people, ordinary people generally like and trust superheroes, and superscience is accepted as matter-of-fact by the scientific community.
Incidently as stable worldlines under a factional dominance they aren't battlegrounds in the war and actually are inaccessible even to the Ascendant's agents. The factions' agents are all survivors of worlds that have been lost (being orphaned as such is how you gain world-hopping in this setting) and the battleground worlds are all on the verge of Crisis making them accessible to refugees.
