The status quo of technology in Heroes Assembled parallels our world, but is about 20-30 years more advanced. Early discovery of superconductors, Zero-Point Energy, and alien technology has had a significant impact on the tech in the world.

Artificial Intelligence is rare but not unheard of. Much more common are proto-sapient 'virtual intelligences' which run many systems globally.

Research into metagenes has had limited success. Scientists understand that there is a genetic component to metahuman powers but do not know how to identify it readily, replicate it, or induce a metagenetic event safely. Most experiments in this realm have resulted in grotesque monsters or mass fatalities.

The world has had clean cold fusion power since the 1930s, thanks to the Tesla Tokamak. Nikolai Tesla had significant influence on the development of many technologies that the world now relies on.
