One universe was home to a great number of superheroes and supervillains, with New York City being particularly rife with them. Versions of the Shifter and Laura Drake were among the heroes active in New York, with Laura, in this world, notably being a Dragon who had taken human form. (PROSE: Truth in Labeling)
Behind the scenes
In the author's notes for PROSE: Truth in Labeling, Scott Sanford noted that this setting “might not be far from Reality Z-25 31-H or some Marvelous settings”.
An Erikson Circle is mentioned as a landmark in its version of New York. In the real world, a corresponding well-known landmark in New York is instead called Columbus Circle. The implication is that in addition to its superhero stylings, the universe seen in PROSE: Truth in Labeling is a subtle alternate history, where instead of Columbus, earlier Viking explorer Leif Erikson ended up being remembered as the true western “discoverer” of the Americas, leading to landmarks and the like being named after him instead of Columbus.
