The Bowman Acts are a series of legislative articles, approved and signed into law secretly by many of the nations of the world, which provide a legislative framework for the day-to-day dealings, operations, and other concerns in relation with metahuman and exterrestrial interests and development on Earth (or Earth-247, as catalogued in the Daria Multiverse.)

The majority of the Bowman Acts are unrevealed at this time; however, one thing that is known is that there are definite protocols in place for the conduct of telepathic citizens within Bowman Act-signatory countries. Another known section of the Acts is the 'mutual-defense treaty' portion, in which all nations have promised to join forces for the purpose of defending the entire planet from imminent threats of natures specifically stated in the Acts.

A curious statictic noted is that all countries that have hosted the Olympic Games since its resurgence in the modern era are also signatories to the Bowman Acts. It is not considered tradition that any country that hosts the Games becomes a signatory beforehand. On two occasions, countries that were believed certain to host the Games lost to other nations; this occured because they refused to sign on.

In the United States, individuals with metahuman powers who recieve any form of training in the use of their powers are required to study the Bowman Acts as part of said training.
