Korea

The independent nation of Korea dates back more than two thousand years to the Silla dynasties, but its more recent history has been overshadowed by China, Japan, the Soviet Union, and the United States. Since the close of the Korean War in 1953, this influence of the other nations and the division of the country has only grown more pronounced.

NORTH KOREA

As with so many other aspects of this mysterious and isolated nation, the status of superhumans in North Korea is dark and grim. No known supers hail from North Korea. Rumors suggest the ruling family captures supers early to prevent the rise of a star who could threaten the regime. Optimists suggest they are indoctrinated to act as (thoroughly brainwashed) covert super-agents for the State. Pessimists suspect their fate is much grimmer.

SOUTH KOREA

South Korea has few superhumans, and most of them are working with the military or in government. Some in the know speculate China subjects them to the Shard, either with or without the permission of the Korean national government.
Despite the long-standing history of antagonism between the two nations, the most visible of South Korea’s superheroes have an active and enthusiastic following in Japan.
