PB-1 He's a mystic who sees himself as a reincarnated Egyptian Sorcerer/priest. I was using the version of that character from an Elseworlds set in the 1920's. Only my version was an Indiana Jones type who thought he was an incarnation of Horus. A Doc Savage with Occult powers. PB-2 He's the classic Hawkman with nith metal and everything. PB-3 Carter Hall is Katar Hol an Alien police officer seconded to Earth. In the comics of the 1960's he kept this secret, in this setting he and his wife work out of the Thanagarian embassy. PB-4 Carter is possessed by the God Horus and is battling the minions of Set. PB-5 Col. Cater Hall is a cyborg super soldier much like Falcon in the recent Captain America films. Your ideas for discovering a couple of more puzzle box worlds is good. The periods are perfect except that an Elizabethan world would be needed too.

The world is more authoritarian, but with half of it being Nazi, and a substantial portion being Communist, that's no surprise. The US is engaged with that authoritarian world, but I don't think there's much indication they've adopted those strategies. Still, I want focused on the story of the US, and you're welcome to flavor to taste. If I were to go in any direction, I'd change the ideological underpinnings of '60's and '70's radicals to Nazi. Using the "were anti Nazi" rally cry to post Japan War social reform, with a significant and well funded backlash by Reich backed racial ideological groups. The bombings and violence are more lethal, and come to and end quicker than Homeline's experience, the Nazi version of The Family getting closed out in the late '70's.

Re: Classification Pending
From the context in the rest of the post, I think Astromancer was talking about our timeline there.

Re: Classification Pending
Yes, in our world we drifted to the right in opposition to regimes self-labeled leftist. In this reality under discussion, the regimes in opposition to America are self-labeled Right-wing, so I'd predict a move to the left.

Re: Classification Pending
The label left/right is probably even less useful in this world than Homeline. The three dominant paradigms of political economy in the world are: National Socialism (champion of the "Right"), Chinese Communism (champion of the "Left"), and US Democracy. When the socialists are on the right, I'm not sure there's a lot of utility in the labeling scheme, and don't see the US at large finding either of those visions appealing until generations after their horrors have faded.

Re: Classification Pending
Please define your term "National Socialism". No modern government in our world is Nazi.
