United States of America

in The Americas

The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, the United States is also the home of heroes and the land of opportunity, especially where super-powers are concerned. Some link America’s long status as preeminent amongst first world nations to its large superhuman population while others suggest it is vice versa, but whatever the case, the U.S.A. has a long history of both great heroes and villains and the eyes of the world are frequently focused there because of it.  

FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA

The two best known cities in the United States, at least from the perspective of those watching its super-powered population, are Freedom City on the East Coast and Emerald City on the West Coast, the two most “super” cities in the States—and, indeed, in the world.   Freedom City has a long and storied history of super-powers and unusual activity, going back to the dawn of the “modern age” of superheroes in the 1930s. More super-beings have called Freedom City home than any other place in the world, and the city has learned to adapt to its extraordinary environment.   Life in Freedom is not necessarily for the faint of heart, but those who choose to live there say they wouldn’t trade it for anything. “In Freedom City, you can count on somebody coming along to save you,” one local famously commented. “You just have to be okay with the idea of needing to get saved sometimes.”   Emerald City, Freedom’s West Coast “counterpart,” has almost the opposite experience.
