Editing Earth Shin (section)

==Trivia==
*In early drafts of Worm, the question of how [[Goddess]] controlled the superhumans so effectively and totally was a central mystery as the protagonist (Ramrod) ascended through the ranks. [[Wildbow]] has stated that he still considers the story canon.<ref name="14.8 c1">Not a lot to say. It was fairly early into my stint of writing for the genre, and I was mainly exploring things. Supreme Earth was an alternate reality that featured villains operating like terrorist cells, destablizing society in ways that were both major and minor (from offing world leaders to destroying city power grids), and putting the world in a situation where they were dependent on superhumans to get energy, food and safety. Basically put, a world with superhumans that had no superheroes. Takeover on a global level, with non-superhumans as second class citizens.<br/><br/>Ramrod was kind of similar to Skitter in that she was an (arguably) good person in a cynical – she was new to her powers, entering the Supreme’s organization from the ground level, but her priorities were mainly ensuring that her family was taken care of. As she ascended in the ranks, keeping that perspective would have been the main challenge. In terms of the greater plot, there was the question of why the villains were so organized and why Goddess, the leader of the superhumans, was able to keep every superhuman in line.<br/><br/>As far as I’m concerned, Supreme Earth is canon in the Wormverse. It probably won’t ever show its face, but it’s an alternate reality that falls in close parallel with Worm’s. Beyond the use of the name Ramrod, Supreme Earth’s characters weren’t really reused (though I think Regent might have poked his head in for one draft). - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/09/29/prey-14-8/#comment-4589 Comment by Wildbow] on [[Prey 14.8]]</ref>
**A seemingly unrelated, male character named [[Ramrod]] is mentioned twice in Worm.
