OOC: Freedom City

Readers will note that our world of Freedom City is different in many subtle and not-so-subtle ways from the official world of Freedom City. Most of these changes exist to allow the characters more freedom of development and discovery.

Notable differences:
  • Freedom City is located on the West Coast.
  • The Terminus Invasion has not happened, at least not that anyone remembers.
  • The existence of places like Atlantis, Lemuria and the Hollow Earth is pure speculation to all but a few.
  • While the world has many superheroes, there are no publically known aliens.
  • President Bush was not re-elected in 2004. Instead, President Jefferson Anderson was elected.

    Superhero changes:
  • Many superheroes have been rewritten or modified and in some cases removed entirely (e.g., The Atom Family).
  • Envoy as mentioned in Freedom City 2e does not exist. The Envoy in this game was around before that book was published, and does not wish to change his name.
  • The Freedom League = The Liberty League, and are located in New York
  • Doc Metropolis is a lone hero.
  • Bowman is still leader of the Next Gen.
  • The Claremont Academy is led by Professor Xenon.
  • Cassandra is part of the Next Gen.
  • Doc Tomorrow's genesis has been altered.
  • Nereid looks closer to Undine in appearance.
