The largest divergent point in this alternate history was November 22 , 1963 . In '' Brave New World '' , like in the real world , John F. Kennedy was the subject of an assassination attempt . However , in Brave New World , apparently Kennedy survived the assassination due to the intervention of Superior . Instead of sniper fire , in this world , Lee Harvey Oswald was one of several super-villains in power armor who flew in and destroyed the President 's limousine with energy weapons . Superior managed to save the life of the President , but in the aftermath the government decided it must take a much harsher line on dealing with super-humans . The Delta Registration Act was quickly passed by Congress , making it a federal offense worthy of life imprisonment to not register superpowers with the government within seven days of manifesting them . Furthermore , all super-humans essentially had no civil rights , and could be used by the government in any way it felt appropriate . The government created Delta Prime as a super-powered law enforcement agency to control unregistered Deltas . Witch hunts begin to flush out super-humans who had not registered
