Infinite Supers

In GURPS Infinite Worlds are there any official superhero worlds? I bought the book yesterday, so I might just have missed them, but as far as I could see they weren't there.

Well, back in 3e, the official world of IST was part of the Infinite Worlds setting, labled "Krypton" by Infinity.

It would be interesting if they discovered a world that corresponds to Homeline comics.

Not official. You're refering to a Pyramid article by Hunter Johnson.

I would imagine that there is at least one per "comics universe"/publisher.
Myth parallels are not restricted to fantasy worlds.

This might be of interest:

even if it's not just superhero timelines.

Considering that the random paralel generator will throw up "everyone's a super" from time to time I'd say it's only a matter of time before they find one if they haven't already ...

(Certainly in my game Centrum know of several)

So, the short answer would be "no", and the long answer would be "no, not yet"?

Sorry, I tend to consider Pyramid material semi-official.. But I am sure I saw IST referenced in GURPS Time Travel 3rd edition's Infinite Worlds chapter...

The original Time Travel book mentioned it (pg 98) saying the IST had not found it. Powers goes on to say that Inifinty either hasn't discovered any or is keeping them secret, then gives some ideas on what to do (pg 229).

AIR, the possibility was mentioned that IST Earth might discover Homeline first. I recall thinking at the time that that implied that worldjumpers were more common on IST than on Homeline. Of course, that actually does not necessarily follow, though it could still be the case.
