Maps Of The Heroverse

I voted for Other which in reality is a combination of 1 and 3. My thought is that if supers have been around for hundreds/thousands of years (assuming inherent ability in some at least), then history can be drastically changed. A few ideas:

• Napoleon was not defeated by Russia at Waterloo
• Aztec/Incan/Mayan culture took over the western world and Europeans could not ever get a foothold
• Germany and Japan won WW II and then turned on each other.
• The confederates won the civil war
• Spain was the dominate military power during the 1700-1900's
• etc..

The availability of supers could drastically change the course of history, including the founding or not of towns, cities, and even nations.

I voted for #1 but totally agree with jfrazierjr... you can use real names/places but shift the "truth" of the world we know however you like... this will give people a point of reference in "reality" that will springboard them into your world.

Making up names/places will make it harder for some people to get into "the mood"... as completely fictional worlds have a slightly smaller audience.

Just my 2 cents...

• Aztec/Incan/Mayan culture took over the western world and Europeans could not ever get a foothold
• The confederates won the civil war

These are two of my favorite "what if" scenarios

First off thanx for voteing secondly I must explain, by fictional world I ment totally different Continents and stuff, but countries of equivalence, also with history I don't want to change it too much because I figured the Supers are going to be pretty evenly spread out. Achilles was a Super, but Paris still defeats him by shooting him in the heel where his Immortality had no effect.

And the fictional names was like Gotham City in DC is New York City, and Metropolis is a bigger version of Jersey City.

Also I thought I should tell people a little bit about how I make it more real.

Not Every Super is a Hero: just because you have a power doesn't mean you won't presue your dream as an actor or something. In my world, Mozart was a Super, he was a Audiopath, which means he could make sounds with his mind, this allowed him to compose such beautiful work so young. someone with Medical Abilities (i.e. see the medical problem in someone) might become a doctor.

Oh man I guess I'll start posting my stuff on plot storming.

I too like this concept, use changes as small or large as you want for your world, make things interesting.

Oh, and it has been awhile since I read about the Battle of Waterloo,... But I'm fairly sure Russia didn't beat Napoleon at that battle. the Prussians did, with the help of several other armies.

Yeah we did. Prussians I mean, Because my family's from the Prussia area.
