I think I've heard mention of that.

My post is just the result of thinking too much about Silver Age "Gee Whiz" superheroes and modern politics and how I'm not equipped to put both into a setting.

Enceladus: A world devastated by kaiju and the nuclear weapons that were vainly used to try to defeat them after their emergence in the late fifties. The role of superhero is now filled by pilots of giant robots, and a few kaiju who at least tolerate the humans in their territory and defend it from intruders. Included in that category are some humans grown to giant size and endowed with powers.
