Alpha Prime was unable to convince the governments of Earth that Galactic law superseded the planet’s right to self-governance.

Nanotechnology: They have developed this technology primarily to help treat serious injuries, such as severe burns and gunshot wounds. They have also used it to initially create a hospital table that would conform to the patient. However, Orthopedic uses quickly developed and even Cybernetic enhancements use the technology to work in helping to maintain an “aesthetically pleasing” look to prosthetics.
Cyber-technology: While there are very few full conversion cyborg or cybernetic lifeforms. Cybernetic augmentation is available as a means of overcoming physical disabilities.

The forces of Magic are acknowledged and known about publicly, though still much rarer than technology. As a power Magic is wielded in varying degrees by numerous heroes and villains in this world – Patsy could list no less then 30 right off the top of her head! Most strange is that even self-proclaimed “Wizards” are counted among those heroes and villains, casting their “spells” to achieve superhuman feats. In that world magic doesn’t seem to be just limited to a handful of enchanted object/ weapon wielders and those few with bestowed powers.
As far as Garrick and Patsy can tell none of the super heroes share identical names with any Hero or Heroine from each other’s world.
