In an average superhero universe there are cosmic forces and personifactions of various concepts. This world is no different. In the same vein as the Green lantern mythos, the Signs act as an empowerment for anybody and everybody, though by the 20th century there are no group on any scale representing them. It is known that several millennia ago there was a group centered around the Sign of Freedom, called the Freedom Fighters, who fought the Tyrant God Evlor Dandou (This worlds Darkseid) and won. After their victory, the alien race who founded the group decided to focus their efforts on policing the universe. This, along with infighting within the group and race, led to their downfall. The reasons included ethical inquiries over policing the universe and freedom having a different meaning between races and members. In spite of this, various disconnected groups of Sign users have appeared over the years since then. It has been noted that the signs aren't bound by plane or universe and can work in any space. If a realm recognizes a variation of the concept then the Sign will work.
