After being elected President he came up with a plan to execute the algorithm, but to do so he need an America inspired by real life superheroes, in with all their gaudy colors and wish fulfillment seen in the comic books. In 2008 President Harley assembled the Peacemaker, Nightshade, Question, Tiger, Blue Beetle and Captain Atom as America’s super team. President Harley assured them that their team’s identity had been crafted as carefully as their individual personas, and told them they were Pax Americana, a force to bring peace to America for a millennia. They made their debut in NYC, and Captain Atom raised three new towers where the Twin Towers once stood. Tiger soon quit the team, finding his persona as a typical Asian martial-artist, insulting.

Pax Americana was featured in the Earth-4 entry in The Multiversity: Guidebook #1

The characters of Watchmen were originally intended to be the Charlton Comics heroes, recently acquired by DC. When Alan Moore was unable to use them due to editorial decree, he created analogs. The story of Pax Americana is a homage to Moore’s work, with the cast of Watchmen now replaced by the aforementioned Charlton characters.
