Give any PODs that would result to the world having at least one superpower nation in each continent. Bonus if more than one.

It is hard to get a African superpower with a relatively late POD (no, the Draka is not a realistic or possible scenario in any way). Still the more I think about it, creating an African superpower is easy compared to making an oceanic Superpower. Even if you unite Australia, New Zealand and all the pacific islands somehow, I don't think you can create a superpower out of it.

A superpower is essentially a nation that can take on multiple great powers and win hence the US and USSR who could each face France, Britain, Germany, Japan and/or Italy and win. Another definition of a superpower is a nation powerful enough to shape the international order to its liking or favor. Under these definitions only the United States and the USSR had the military and economic power to be called superpowers, with the British Empire being a pre-superpower with at least unchallenged naval power and strong economic power to be the greatest among equals, but not strong enough to single-handedly take on France, Germany, and Russia in a war. So once you have more than two or three superpowers they pretty much become very powerful great powers since power in the international system becomes diffused instead of being concentrated in one or two actors.

As to the OP the US takes care of North America.

In Europe either have Germany win WWI and slowly integrate the continent or let The Soviet Union bring revolution to Europe all the way to the Atlantic.

For Africa/Middle East how about a Central Powers victory that lets the Ottomans survive and bring the North African colonies, Egypt to Morocco with maybe Sudan and pieces of West Africa. With most of the World's, or at least Eurasia's, easily accessible oil it will have the economic means to have world influence.

For South America helping Brazil have a stable government, surviving monarchy that slowly transitions to democracy, will improve its economy and therefore power, add a few key things like a partnership with the US to dominate/protect the Western Hemisphere.

For Asia Have China manage to do a Meiji during the late Qing dynasty and slowly reassert its dominance in Asia.

Oceania is the toughest one and all I can think of is let the British Empire take all of it in several wars and it revolts as one "Greater Indonesia/Oceania" nation. It will have a lot of resources and a decent population.
