Eleutheria - Only free states have supers.
Oedipus - All supers are related by blood. Midas - All supers have powers that are more like a curse. Aegea - Only women are supers. Lycurgus - Supers have formed a brutal oligarchy, where all supers are equal and everyone else is a slave. |

A worldline where supers lose their powers upon having their first child - or risk power loss with the birth of each child they have - could also be interesting, optionally with the child who causes them to lose their powers being guaranteed to develop powers later in life (probably closely related - if not outright identical - to what their parent(s) had). That will certainly result in far fewer adult supers than teen supers, because "doing this might have these consequences" is far less of a deterrent ("It'll never happen to me) than "doing this will have these consequences." It also makes those inappropriate countermeasures less likely to be used (as they're less reliable), potentially avoiding that particular issue (although things arguably get a lot darker if such countermeasures are used). I'm not certain what - if any - Greek mythological figure would be fitting to name the worldline after, however.

Re: Catalog Of Super Realities
Um...why?
Enyo is a reality which reflects the past of Athena, currently their version of World War II with Adolphine Hitler, Winifred Churchill, Francine Roosevelt and the like. Male Gaian heroes may be annoyed or amused by the blatant sexism with which they'll be welcomed should they visit. TL 6, Mana Level Normal Nike is a reality with a steampunk aesthetic although it's the same year as on Gaia and has many steampunk versions of the Gaian heroes and villains. A crumbling British Empire struggles to retain its possessions, while Germany dominates Europe and Japan has similar problems in Manchuria. TL 5+2, Mana Level Normal. Artemis is a reality where men have been eliminated and women reproduce by magic. TL 2+7, Mana Level High. Zelus is the inevitable reality where the Axis won World War II. TL 7 (9 in Aerospace). Mana Level Normal. Last edited by David Johnston2; 04-24-2021 at 09:52 AM. |

Re: Catalog Of Super Realities
Gemini - only twins have powers (possibly working together ala the wonder twins, or perhaps just by being a twin).
Janus - powers come from transformations or alternate forms ala the Hulk, Mr Hyde, or any number of lycanthropes. |

Demeter - The world itself is somehow sentient, and grants powers to those (human, animal, plant, not fussy) that will protect it.
Hermes - All supers have super-speed. |

Rhea - Superpowers run in families, with each super-family having a specific superpower with minor variations. "Hybrids" can be extremely powerful and dangerous.
