Did a crosswick for Historical Domain Superperson

Added DiffLines:

* HistoricalDomainSuperperson: The "spirit city" of Mannahatta has allowed various historical figures from Manhattan, like Babe Ruth and Creator/WaltWhitman, to be elevated to godhood after their deaths. Some of them even have additional powers related to whatever they're the god of; Peter Stuyvesant, for example, is the God of Things Were Better in the Old Days, and can make those around him feel hopeless and pessimistic about the future.

Lincoln is the son of Frederick Douglass, Albert is the son of Hamilton Fish, Alexa is the son of Adrian van der Doenk, Nicholas is the son of Peter Stuyvesant, and Simon is the son of John Jacob Astor.
