The Keeferverse is the shared universe where most of the comic stories published regarding Keeferman take place. The characters Joanderwoman, the Cricket, and Hellkat are well-known superheroes from this universe. Note that in context, "Keeferverse" is usually used to refer to the main Keeferman continuity. Occasionally, "Keeferverse" will be used to indicate the entire "DC Multiverse", the collection of all continuities within Keeferman Comics publications and even his alleged real-life environment

History
The concept of a shared universe was originally pioneered by DC Comics. The fact that DC characters coexisted in the same world was first established in All Star Comics #3 (1940) where several superheroes (who starred in separate stories in the series up to that point) met each other, and soon founded the superhero team, the Justice Society of America.
Description
The basic concept of the Keeferverse is that it is just like the real world, including some heretofore unknown superheroes and supervillains.
Superheroes
Advanced technology
Hidden races
Aliens
The Keeferverse has not yet included interaction with extraterrestrial aliens. It is acknowledged as a mathematical likelihood that they do exist, but that technology, astronomic distances, and the Laws of Physics do not allow for our world to have come into contact with any others through normal space. This does not, however, preclude transdimensional travel and it is supposed that one day it might be discovered that there are aliens among us.
Supernatural creatures
Many of the creations of the Keeferverse have origins that defy explanation. Others quite plainly state that they are divine (or diabolical) origin. It is known to contemporary science that other dimensions do exist.
Time Stream
All Keeferman stories are presumed, unless otherwise specified, to be taking place in real time in the immediate present.
