Nobodyverse

The ***Nobodyverse*** is a fictional shared universe of adult superhero drama stories created by EDStudios. It is named for the *Nobody* series, its flagship instalment. Set in an alternate Earth where superheros were once common but have now been reduced to myth and legend, the universe's chronology current extends from the 1920s to the 2020s and beyond. The franchise attempts to link the themes of heroism to mental health, and the thin line between heroes and villains.

## Setting

The *Nobodyverse* is set on an alternate version of Earth where superpowered individuals were once commonplace, particularly during the first half of the 20th Century, but have become all but extinct by the 21st Century. More than thirty years of economical stagnation and corrupt political schemes have caused major cities such as New York City to remain close to how they were in the 1980s of our reality, creating a dystopian world ruled by crime lords.

The franchise's namesake and flagship instalment is *Nobody*, a vigilante crime-drama that follows Michael Keene, a young man who develops near-superhuman photographic memory following a traumatic injury. While he is able to remember and perfectly copy the fighting styles from movies, making him a superior combatant, he is also plagued by violent urges that are almost impossible to control. Combining these violent urges with his instinctual fighting skills and superior memory, Michael becomes a masked vigilante in order to give hope to the people of New York City. In the process, he is forced to confront powerful crime-lords such as the Crooked Man, as well as more dangerous threats.
