In 1944 the axis of evil unleashed their greatest experiment yet, Das Tachyon-Strahl, a zeppelin mounted weapon capable of flinging chunks of reality forward in time. Unfortunately the superheroes of WW2 failed to prevent the first and only use of this weapon, completely removing Excelsior City from the face of the earth. Ironically Excelsior City was heralded as one of the most technologically advanced cities of the 20th century, a gleaming metropolis of art deco splendour and shining spires. When it arrived 60 years later, in the Excelsior memorial national park, the residents were soon to discover the fate of all of its citizens.
Today, just 10 years after its reappearance, the world is still coming to terms with the City of Yesterday. Fortunately, the brilliant scientists and industrialists who shaped the original city have survived the journey through time intact and are now working to bring the city up to date with the modern world. Excelsior City remains a strange paradox of the old and the new. Tourists flock to see an authentic 1940s city and yet their presence is also undermining that image. The gleaming spires of the city are growing, this time fusing modern technology with the old, while WW2 heroes and villains, along with the citizens of the city, struggle to find their place within the world. It maybe slightly behind the times, but Excelsior City is fast catching up...
