I tried to come up with ideas for a superhero campaign setting, and then I thought of combining the superhero genre with the same sort of setting as the Fallout games; a postapocalyptic wasteland driven by dark humour and a 50's-like atmosphere, sort of like this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=DetY35bQVAk

Anyway, I thought I'd ask you guys if you had any ideas for such a combination. What could I have the PCs do? What sort of themes could i bring in? How can I give my game the unique atmosphere of the Fallout series? And so on.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: 50's atmosphere, not 20's.

Keep in mind that Fallout has a very 1950s feel to the setting as opposed to the 1920s. The whole thing smacks of 50s retro sci-fi, a 20s inspired setting would have a very different visual style.

Sorry, you're right; that's what I meant to say.
