It could be, but I have some potentially cool ideas for another world, or, rather, a future world.

It takes place ~20 years after the story we know. Five of the six level 5's we know- Accelerator, Dark Matter, Railgun, Mental Out, and Gemstone- have become much more powerful and upgraded to level 6. For our purposes, level 6 is 'like A god' and not the 'like god' it seems to be in the series. Touma has been upgraded to a level 5, as has the AIM stalker who has become able to boost or supress, but not give or remove, esper abilities.

Touma, Misaka, and Accelerator founded an organization to globalize the science side (to destroy the monopoly the AC board & Alistar Crowley ahve on it). WIth some help from many other espers, they carved four large inlets from the ocean into several areas of land -into the middle of the Sahara (Mali), into central Australia from the bottom, through central Siberia into north China, and from the bay of California into New Mexico. They founded five cities like academy city (immediately enforcing the independence of each), one at the end of each of these seas and one in siberia. Mental Out and Dark Matter set up a colony on mars. These cities are linked, along with academy city, by an AIM network that allow teleportation of important objects, sending of messages, and the use of Mental Out, AIM Stalker, and Imagine Breaker, between any of the cities almost immediately. Touma, Misaka, and sometimes Accelerator fly between them on a giant airbase (think SHIELD helicarrier).

This sets up a lot more possible variety. Also, it could be convenient for your character- he's from the American city and was sent to another of them.
