One such example was Dino-Cop, a clear take on Image Comics' hero Savage Dragon. Other ideas included a Nazi universe, a world dedicated to the Shazam Family, as well as obvious pastiches of characters from other publishers. Perhaps the most prescient was the world of "The Just," which looked at young superheroes through a social media lens. Likewise, "Pax Americana", asked what would happen if Alan Moore's intentions to use Charlton Comics' characters in Watchmen, with the result being a conspiratorial caper headlined by familiar heroes. For instance, the world of The Society of Super-Heroes took familiar members of the Justice Society of America and placed them in a fantasy world inspired by pulp magazines. While the central premise of The Multiversity involved a villainous horde known as The Gentry (a disguised take on the idea of gentrification), the real meat behind it was a look at Morrison's sometimes bizarre reinterpretations of the DC Universe.
