Indiana State Super Academy

The Indiana State Super Academy is the largest school in the Super Education System, with 30 students. It's also the only school with an entirely powered faculty.

INSA is located in Gothamopolis, Indiana, a city built on the ruins of Gary to be a veritable Mecca of superheroics, and the school sure helps it live up to this goal.
