Willis-1 [Infinite Worlds]
Willis-1 is a timeline that diverges in 2002, when Bruce Willis officially moves his residency to PA in preparation for a possible career in politics (inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger's talk about becoming governor of CA). In essence, it does not change the trajectory of his life much until he joins the Democratic Party and runs for governor in 2010. After he crushes Tom Corbett in the 2010 election, he wins his reelection campaign easily in 2014 and announces his intentions to seek the Democratic Presidential candidacy in 2015. In 2016, he easily defeats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders to become the Democratic Presidential candidate and steamrolls Donald Trump in the General Election. It is now 2020, and he is the prohibitive favorite in the 2020 Presidential Campaign, especially since Donald Trump has been winning every Republican primary so far.
Infinity would normally consider Willis-1 to just be one of many close alternatives to Homeline, but there is evidence of interference from an unknown external force behind the Willis Presidency. While subtle, telepaths working for Infinity within Willis-1 reported sensing anomalies in the people around President Willis soon after the 2016 election before mysteriously disappearing. In the past year, Infinity has found itself under attack in Willis-1 by unknown enemies, as agents has been dying of mysterious causes left and right. |

Re: Willis-1 [Infinite Worlds]
Well, President Willis has been quite sympathetic towards Native Americans (he has supported a number of bills in Congress that have helped Native Americans deal with some of the inequities that they experienced) and he has been instrumental in getting Congress to provide federal funding to assist state foster care systems. Other than that, he has also pushed for changes in copyright laws that would reduce such protections back to what they were pre-1976 (28 years, plus one renewal for 28 years) and for the repeal of laws that protect internet providers from being liable for the material posted on their websites (though both changes have faced massive opposition from corporations). Of course, his weirdest policy involved getting Congress to allocate $1 billion per year of funding for research into psionic powers right after he was sworn in, which triggered Infinity to look into his inner circle.
