Someone should make a series akin to Blood Rights, but about other things like Witches and Reptiles.
Photos from Alternate Worlds II (read FAQ first)
Witches do exist it just most of the world don’t really know how magic works and label it’s a religion or treat it as unexplained science.
Wonder how would Humanity would react to the discovery of a sapient Reptilian race
Depend how easy is it to kill them/how useful they can be. One of the reason vampires where not just killed of were that a lot of them were pretty hard to kill and they were pretty useful. Vampires could also be useful for war, and example would be Victor being one of the major reason of the Soviet winning in Afghanistan. It could also depend on if they have already in trench themselves in government and society. Mao was a vampire since his 20’s in this timeline before they cam out of the coffin To use the Soviet Union as am example again Victor and Putin were key figure in the early revolution and Second World War even to the point where Elena (agents Victor’s partner)having a relationship with young Stalin. In the US a lot of older vampires were very rich and use there money and powers to influence the government before 59. So it’s depends if they have nothing to add and can be killed off easily coming out into the world might not be a good idea in the 50’s. Although it could work in a modern setting.
The Boyd-verse: Part 14
I was going to retcon my TL's France to have Maurice Pujo be their emperor, but I preferred not to rip off @Murica1776.
From the day that the Second Great War broke out, it was agreed that if Hitler continued to let Czechia be independent, he could absorb Austria into Germany. A native Austrian personally, Hitler was keen to oblige, and almost immediately after the Austrian surrender, he drove into Vienna on September 4, 1949.
Hungarian soldiers fire at mainly Commonwealth forces in the Austro-Hungarian invasion of Romania.
While they are still depised by the hardcore anti-Monarchist of France, many did consider Vichy Emperor René Aldebert Pineton de Chambrun and Empress Josée Laval improvements over the latter's father Pierre (right). Namely due to the fact they elected representatives from the colonies to serve as their personal advisors in colonial affairs.
Ngo Dinh Diem was one of the people elected to serve as the personal advisor of Vichy Emperor René Aldebert Pineton de Chambrun and Empress Josée Laval in Indochinese affairs. However, many in Indochina disliked him, believing the fact he was Catholic meant he was not a true representative of them.
Tuyen Bui Dang, portrayed by Elly Tran Ha in this Vietnamese language film, had been the grand-daughter of one of Laval's closest allies in Vietnam. This in turn led to a relationship with the Third Vichy Emperor Jean Claude Laval in the 1970s.

After the merger of the Emilio gang^1 as well as other of the first supervillains into legion. Hannah would become a rising star with in the group and would help come up with the idea of “Simba War” or “Lion War” which was the main doctrine of the Legion during the week war. By the time she was sixteen and legion had invaded Somali after the mall of Legion terror attacks, Hannah had all ready made a name for herself due to her actions with the pink brigade^2 in Syria south east Asia and the parts of Mexico. Her work in both Somalia and other conflict zones in the middle east would earn her the nick name “The Second Desert Fox”. Hannah would soon develop a farther daughter relationship with the High Chancellor calling him

Many thought she would take over after his death, but instead she declined saying

Emilios Gang
Emilio Jackson, born and raised on the streets of Northern Ireland, where he would quickly find himself on the wrong side of the law. After becoming an international criminal, he would find himself arrested and imprisoned in the United States, where his metahuman powers would manifest. He would escape prison, quickly forming a gang of metahuman runaways, whom would make an alliance with criminals like the terrorist Jim Crow, the criminals HellFire and Zero, and eventually join Legion.
Lola, a quiet girl and an extremely powerful teleporter. Among the first members of Emilios gang.
Emilio's right hand man Jinx. Much like Emilio, Jinx was raised on the streets, where he would become a petty criminal and con man. Not long after his powers (Telekinesis) manifested, he would meet and fall in love with the metahuman known as Oracle. Not long after they met, they would join Emilios gang.
The blind but powerful psychic known as Oracle. She became a teenage runaway after discovering her powers, and would meet Jinx not long afterwards.
Among her powers, she has the ability to read minds, see the future, and even mind control people. She and Jinx would go on to have three children.
Pyro, who as his name suggest, possessed fire powers. He lived a tough and harsh life in a poor part of Atlanta, which would see him accidentally killing his sister using his powers in a fight with a gang he was involved with. He is well known for idolising and looking up to Jim Crow.
An artist depiction of the metahuman known as Golem, a large being made of stone who would be among the three to join Emilios gang when they were in Los Angeles. Golem is known to be childlike, and a close friend of Lola.
Glitch, also among the three who would join Emilios gang during their time in Los Angeles. Glitch is known for his ability to duplicate himself, eventually leading the NSS, and his relationship with Hannah HellFire, the ladder would cause a rift between him and his long time friend. Speaking of the devil...
Banshee (Named so for her abilities), among the more controversial members of the group, well known for her heated rivalry with Hannah Hellfire, her at times psychotic nature, her promiscuous love life, and her friendship with the controversial metahuman supremacist known as Omega...

The World of the Lone Star
American and Texan soldiers move to new positions in a clearing in Guatemala, while helicopters watch from the sky during the brutal Guatemala War
Also, the Guatemala War is basically TTL's version of the Vietnam War, if you couldn't tell. Because China doesn't fall to communism, it instead moves to Central and South America, and this would be the first of many conflicts in Central America, leading to the Mexican annexation of these territories, so Mexico, who had helped a lot in these wars, could pacify them without the US or Texas straining itself too much

After the war BlackHeart would fine himself doing odd jobs along with “projects” that dealt with the supernatural. He first came to the attention of the Nazis in the 1920’s. At first BlackHeart laughed in there faces but as they became more powerful he in his words
“Joined for my on survival and the survival of my work”
BlackHeart by the late 1930’s would fine himself as the head of the SS occult devision the Ahnenerbe. It is reported that he was wildly hated or feared among other high ranking Nazis.
“He is sickly tall man, a dark and cold disposition, his shadow seemed to hang over you even if you are in another room as it is spying on you for him. His eyes hold a deep well of information that most wish to never know and are the things that even the worst nightmares seemed not to bare” -Himmler
BlackHeart would began work on project Valkyrie that sought to make a man made half vampire half human super soldier. In 1941 when the Reich invaded Russia BlackHeart soon made plans to kill Hitler or flee after the war.
(photo of “King Solomon)
BlackHeart would go missing in 1945 as the war began to end only to resurface in South Africa in 1960 where he found himself working with the apartheid and then the ANC government before helping King Solomon rise to power. After the fall of the kingdom. BlackHeart would create legion along with the world first supervillains.
(Photo of Emma BlackHeart)
Shortly before the week war BlackHeart would reconnect with his long lost love Emma. The two would shortly marry after the war.
But there is another side to BlackHeart one that’s reflects his name very well. People disappear in Legion, activist, church leaders, teachers, writers, poets and journalists. No one in Legion ask awkward questions for they all know what the answer would be...the knock on the door.
From my timeline Multipolar Space Race (my signature):
Urban Life
Detroit, circa 2020 (by https://br.pinterest.com/pin/789678115888614998/?lp=true)
Space industry helped to shape cities landscapes worldwide. Its huge demand kept tens of millions people directly employed, from the manufacturing belts to the research centres, while their wages flood the whole economy.
In the United States, most components were built on the Manufacturing Belt (Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis, etc.) while research was conducted mainly on the coasts. The British space industry was centered in Britain (all over England, Scottish Lowlands, Belfast) and Quebec.
In Germany, from Hamburg to the Ruhr, from Stuttgart to Breslau, from Vienna to Danzing, pretty much the whole country watched the boost promoted by the industry requirements. The Urals got most of Russian space industry as it was perceived by their authorities as a place safer from attacks or western intrusions.
As the world was under a full employment economy, cities managed to dodge urban decay and were very desirable places to live, to work and raise a family. As they remained dense and thriving, arts and all other creative industries also flourished. In the British Federation, London was naturally the biggest cultural magnet and youngsters from all the parts of the federation flocked there. Despite London's primacy, the largest Home Islands urban areas, Montreal, Toronto, Johannesburg, Sydney and Melbourne remained effervescent cultural centres on their own.

Members of the NFPLA dreaded “Neverland Battalion” known for being lead by a child known as “Penny Pan” and war crimes such as the flooding of New Orleans or the Green bowl massacre.
photo taken just after the Green Bowl Mississippi massacre where over 1,000 children woman babies and elderly were rounded up and shot or some cases hacked to death by the neverland battalion. In the middle was Sargent “Spoon” who was known to be a cannibal and scooped the victim brains out after there death. He was killed towards the end of the war most likely by the battalion second in command “Wendell Green”.

James, I used metro areas. 1 million more than OTL. Maybe 750k-800k on city proper. It would definitely be a very exciting city.
Produced my Marvel Studios and lasting from September 1980 to october 1981, Globe Warriors was produced as part of a deal with Japanese film company Toei in which Marvel would use footage from the Tokusatsu show Battle Fever J mixed with new dialogue and footage starring American Actors to create a show which would be more accessible to American audiences. The show was aimed toward children, and quickly took off, spawning multiple toy lines and even a limited comic series. The series itself was more well known though for the cheesy and very child friendly nature characterized by the writing and acting, leaving the show with very mixed reviews by critics. The show would come to an end in 1981, and it would not be for another three years until Marvel brought a much more serious toned adaption of the series Dynaman to American televisions under the name Battle Man, and with it bring in the first series to be officially marketed under the Power Soldiers franchise.
So basically, the city of Cleveland is more tightly packed than OTL. It's still the same boundary size, right?
I'm sure it would be. Just curious btw, what's the tallest building in Cleveland?
James, I guess in ATL, Key Tower would still be the tallest. At 288m high, it was still way above OTL's Cleveland weight when it was built in 1991. In ATL, I guess Cleveland might have gotten a two or three more towers above 200m. On the other hand, it would have much more stronger and dense urban neighbourhoods.
President Joseph McCarthy (R-WI) and vicepresident Barry Goldwater (R-AZ) photographed together during the campaign trail of 1956.
The duo was ultimately successful against the Edwin E. Willis (D-LA)/Richard Howard Ichord Jr (D-MI) ticket, allowing McCarthy to start his second term in the White House
During his second term McCarty kept pushing for an aggressive foreign policy towards the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China, culminating in the american intervention into the Indonesian Civil War (1957-1966).
The last photo showing indonesian president Kusno Sosrodihardjo and his vicepresident Mohammad Hatta peacefully in the same room.
While the relationship between the two was already rocky thanks to Kusno's increasing authoritarianism, the situation collapsed on 8th October 1956 when anonimous sources revealed that Hatta had been planning to overthrow the president with the assistance of the indonesian communist party, resulting in his arrest and an harsh crackdown against "sovversive political elements".
This however horribly backfired after the population of Sumatra and Sulawesi exploded in open rebellion against the central government and the discovery that most members of the communist party had already fled to the countryside.
Dipa Nusantara Aidit, leader of the Indonesian Communist Party, rallies his supporter in Bengkulu (1957)
Having already fled to his native Sumatra a couple of days before the start of Kusno's purges, Aidit quickly allied himself with the independentist movements in the region, promising them ample autonomy in the new Socialist Republic Of Indonesia.
Ventje Sumual officially declares the indipendence of Sulawesi from the rest of Indonesia (1958).
Sumual, a former liutenant colonel of the Indonesian Army, was hardly the only defector who joined the Permesta Movement in Sulawesi: many native soldiers prefered joining the new separatist movement rather than just shoot their own people.
View attachment 501819
With the collapse of Indonesia into a multised civil war, Australian involvement in the conflict became soon inevitable.
In 1959 prime minister Ben Chifley ordered the deployment of troops to assist the indonesian government against communist and islamist rebels.
American involvement in the Indonesian civil war actually increased after Goldwater's victory in 1960.
Both Goldwater and his vicepresident Richard Nixon strongly believed that Kusno's iron grip on Indonesia was the only obstacle between the communist world and the rest of Asia.
Dissatisfaction with the war soon generated protests both in Australia and in the United States.
American civil leaders like Martin Luther King in particular accused the Goldwater's administration of caring more about a murderous tyrant than the millions of african-americans suffering under Jim Crow and called for a boycott against the war effort.
The war would end only in 1966 under the administration of the democratic president James Gavin (here potographated together with his VP John Fitzgerald Kennedy).
The treaty of Manila officially recognised the indipendence of the Socialist Republic Of Sumatra, the republic of Sulawesi and trasformed West Papua in an australian trust territory ( it would be officially annexed in 1967).
The treaty also determined the indipendence of Bruneo from Kusno's government after a national referendum.
