South Asia

Superhumans from South Asia come from a variety of backgrounds and run the gamut of super-powered origins. Mystics follow paths with earthly and alien origins, teaching new generations secrets as old as humanity. India produces metahumans out of simple mathematical certainty given its massive population, while the technological and economic centers in the region produce gadget-using heroes and villains. As with most other parts of the world, those in the know find strange truths behind old myths, legends and religions; The entities that inspired them remain active today in many cases.   Some of the cities and valleys of South Asia are home to cultures older than entire nations in Europe, older even than settlements in China. History runs deep here, underscoring every facet of life, but with that history come rifts and dangers that run just as deep.
