Andronovksy interpreted the national personification to be the superheroes of each country, and began to consider a world where each nation was assigned a superhero. Andronovksy, who was inspired by spy fiction, and action films imagined a world where superhero spies engage in dangerous missions to advance their nations interests.

Concerns regarding nuclear weapons and their proliferation along with the theory of mutually assured destruction or MAD, made confrontations between superpowers an issue of great concern to the general populace.

Andronovksy claimed it as serving as a great source of inspiration.
