"From the BlackWyrm games website:"

The fires of war burn on the horizon, and a world already short on hope desperately looks for heroes. Luckily, they don't have far to look. Welcome to the so-called Golden Age, where the first generation of superhumans in the public eye are forging legends that will live on long after they're gone. Nazi supersoldiers terrorize Europe, while gangsters vie against mad scientists for control of the underworld. Masked mystery men and two-fisted adventurers bring justice into the darkest alleys and deepest jungles.
