This world was a fairly normal Q5 Echo of Homeline, well except for superheroes showing up in the late 1940's. The normal inertia that prevents rapid technological growth in a world with supers seems to be in operative here as the local year is 1958 (the Silver Age is in full swing) and the Tech Level is 7+2.

Recently, a large group of supers from several other parallels have arrived, they think their worlds were destroyed (they were all simply moved into distant Quanta not related to the Quanta known to Homeline, Centrum, or the Cabal). Many of these heroes are from worlds with radically different values and ideals. Cold War Earth seems strange and barbaric to them. Many of these supers don't see democracy in America, they see anarchy. They see USSR and Red China as blasphemies. Some of these supers came from a Caliphate, and they see infidels dominant and the Dar-al-Islam in deadly peril,

A Supers war is brewing up. Homeline is freaked out. The secret isn't really a secret in this world. In fact there is some evidence that this world had World Jumpers who visited Homeline in before panchronomic theory was a thing!

Trying to prevent/defuse this war without getting a plague of unwanted supers is vital. Given the locals on this parallel simply nuking the place would be both ineffective and would lead to exotic reprisals.
