Hello. I am seeking a group of 4-8 players. Dropouts are a part of life, so I won't stop more from applying. But if you are inclined to applying and disappearing, scroll offworld to better places.
Only Golden Agers, Residents of Earth-2, or JSA members will be considered. For ideas on who is available, you can check these lists.

[GM: Nightrunner | AGM: __]
[Genre: Fandom, Superhuman | Type: Linear]
The Golden Age characters of DC Comics are to be reimagined in a paranoid world where Freedom and Security couldn't be more at odds. Public opinion and corporately puppeted media opposed to any major changes in the world have actually been ensuring that the rich grow steadily richer at the expense of the weak. Set in 2016, you are to play the role of a Wonder, one of the few superheroes willing to stand for true justice in an ominous age.
While this game shares the name of the DC Comics series and borrows several concepts, it is not set to follow that continuity or any other preexisting storyline.
On September 11 2001 America changed forever, and the world as a whole would soon follow suit. The security people had found diminished after the twin towers dropped, crashing down and shattering racial, religious, and social tolerances. Years would pass and the American Government put a stranglehold on its people and foreigners all over with the NSA, watching their every move.
The United Nations around the globe were disturbed by this, so in 2012 they forcibly disbanded the United States of America before swallowing each isolated state up with a global army that did the same to every country. All military assets were confiscated before being redistributed by The World Government. Peace was thrusted down the people's throats and between governments, the long sought dream of world peace was realized.
But free will allowed countless injustices between corruption and small scale actions. An alien named Kal-L had landed on Earth decades ago, growing up among the people and steadily increasing in power. Diana Prince, an Amazonian warrior from a paradise island of women came to the Western World. And Bruce Wayne, an orphaned billionaire with an extreme amount of resources presented himself as a symbol of vengeance, The Batman. These were foremost among the world's new wonders, iconic spectacles dedicated to truth & justice.
In 2015 the three wonders of the world joined the World Army in a fight against superhuman invaders from a distant world. These were the armies of Apokalypse, under their evil leader Darkseid and an army under the command of his general, Steppenwolf. The world was saved, but left with more scars than by any other conflict.
The invasion sparked global interest in aliens, meta-humans, and masked individuals. So the watchful eye of The World Government has set its sights on the wonders, creating its own projects for a superpowered workforce.

The invasion sparked global interest in aliens, meta-humans, and masked individuals. So the watchful eye of The World Government has set its sights on the wonders, creating its own projects for a superpowered workforce.
Regarding 'Wonders':
- The Justice Society has not been formed, but will be composed of player characters.
- Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman live.
- Meta-Humans are relatively rare, which is why they are considered wonders. For instance, Two-Face would not count as a Wonder, unless you really changed who he typically is.
- Wonders are a new feature to the world.
Regarding the World Government:
- Though the entire world is under their rule, laws are set in place for specific regions.
- With few exceptions the areas retain their previous names, but generally lack borders.
- They can be thought of as an equivalent to Marvel's SHIELD. Their group of meta-humans, which will debut in the IC, can be likened to The Ultimates or the modern Avengers teams.
- They are not ruled by Americans, but are manipulated by the wealthiest people in the world, which does not actually include Bruce Wayne.
