Wild Cards is a science fiction and superhero anthology series set in a shared universe. The series was created by a group of New Mexico science fiction authors, and mostly edited by George R. R.

There were also several longer storylines which run through several of the books. Some volumes use the format of a mosaic novel.

Martin, and many modeled their characters on their in-game persona. There are certain broad classes of characters in the Wild Cards universe of superhero
