History

Earth-S is one of the infinite number of divergent realities that made up the pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths Multiverse.

Earth-S Timeline

Prehistoric Times

King Kull was the ruler of a race of protohumans known as the Submen, a race which ruled the Homo Sapiens until eventually overthrown in a revolt. Kull locked himself in a state of suspended animation.

7000 BC

A Canaanite youngster was bestowed with the powers of six Canaanite Gods (Marzosh, Arel, Ribalvei, Voldar, Elbiam and Lumium) and became known as Champion. When Evil, the most terrible of gods, appeared, he was able to divide into three forms (Terror, Sin, and Wickedness). The Gods sent a Champion into the future, to seek the help of his successor, Captain Marvel. Together, they defeated Evil and its servants, the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man. Champion and Captain Marvel imprisoned Evil and, in the process, they created the Rock of Eternity. For 3,000 years, as the Champion aged, the gods he knew were forgotten by everyone except himself, and he became a great wizard, taking the name Shazamo. ===3500 BC The Egyptian prince named Teth-Adam was chosen by Shazam as his successor, and received the powers of six Egyptian Gods (Shu, Hershef, Amon, Zehuti, Anpu and Menthu). As Black Adam, he became corrupted by power lust and was banished to the farthest star by the wizard.

2000 BC

During the 12th dynasty, an evil pharaoh, deceived by the false priest Mesu, abandoned the worship of Osiris and the benevolent gods, and instead served Set. When Prince Amentep criticized him, he was thrown into prison, receiving from his uncle the Ibistick and becoming Ibis the Invincible. In rebellion against the tyrannical Mesu (now known as the Black Pharaoh), Taia, the wife of Ibis, was struck by an arrow. Ibis put her and himself in suspended animation.

1980 BC

A generation later, an evil wizard named Serpenotep conquered the Land of the Nile, imprisoning the benevolent witch who in those days protected the people. Serpenotep ruled tyrannically until the original Isis, posing as a servant, sneaked past the guards and entered the sorcerer's prison. The magician explained that she would not be able to free him until Serpenotep was defeated, but that he was able to transfer part of his power to those who were worthy. Using his magic, he caused an amulet necklace to appear around her neck, as well as a tiara on her head. He told her that she now possessed the powers of the pyramid - she could fly like the hawk, run with the speed of the gazelles, and command the elements of earth and sky. Isis and the magician combined their power and transformed Serpenotep into stone. For years afterward, Isis protected the needy, until she finally dies. She foresees that she would return again, in another form, to combat evil.

15th century BC

Queen Hapshuset (Hatshepsut) ruled as the first and only female pharaoh of Egypt. Thanks to his powerful magic, old Shazamo still lived, and served as her royal sorcerer. He presented the Queen with the mystical amulet of Isis, and told Hapshuset that she and her descendants would be endowed by the goddess Isis with great powers. By wearing the amulet and invoking the goddess's name, Hapshuset was transformed into an avatar of Isis. After her death, the sorcerer took the amulet and hid it, along with a parchment explaining the secrets of Isis. He cast a spell, designed to draw one of the queen's worthy descendants to the place, so that the power of Isis could be rediscovered in some future age.

Circa 1000 BC

The Wizard Shazamo commanded a pantheon of heroes whose initials formed his name: Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, Mercury... and Oggar, another god, who was his disciple in magic. Oggar rebelled against the Wizard, who expelled him from his sanctuary, and Oggar began to live among mortals. Shazamo purged the "o" of his name in shame, renaming himself Shazam. Shortly after the rebellion, in the mortal world, Oggar tried to seduce the beautiful Circe to be his queen when he conquered the world, to which she refused. Oggar tried to avenge himself, but his magic did not work in noxious ways in women. Then he gave her a dowry, instead: made her immortal. However, this did not diminish her aging; after about 200 years, she was still alive, but terribly ugly and wrinkled, which made her develop a mortal hatred for all men, who were now horrified by her face. She learned witchcraft and how to turn men into animals.

1st Century

A piece of the Starheart fell in China, and no one touched it for almost 2000 years.

12th Century

Captain Marvel Jr. was summoned from 1953 to a time 700 years earlier, by a sorcerer and a bondsboy, in order to rescue Robin Hood, who was jailed by the Earl of Nottingham. After Jr. saved Robin and King Richard, the sovereign made the sorcerer a member of his Royal Court. As for the bondsboy, the king set him free from bondage, and called him Freeman - ancestor of Freedy Freeman.

1892

Thaddeus Bodog Sivana was born, in Europe.

Forgotten Catastrophes

In addition to the large number of disasters, terrorist attacks, wartime setbacks, and large-scale super-crimes that were prevented by the super heroes and masked adventurers of this parallel world, there were some catastrophes that actually happened, then never were mentioned again. These included:

• Mexico was invaded by a subterranean civilization, in 1940.
• The Federal States Building in Washington D.C. was destroyed with a bomb, in the spring of 1941.
• New York City was attacked by a column of armored tanks, with massive destruction and civilian casualties, in the summer of 1941.
• The Shuker Hotel skyscraper, in one big U.S. city, was destroyed with multiple pre-planted charges, by a gang of Nazi agents, in the summer of 1941. That same summer, several cities in the western U.S. were attacked by gigantic bombers, also operated by Nazi agents.
• Several Midwestern cities were bombed by enemy agents, using a stolen, experimental, American bomber, in the autumn of 1941.
• The United States of America were attacked by a mechanical Japanese giant fire-breathing dragon, who destroyed whole cities and ships, in the autumn of 1942.

End of History

During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Earth-S was effectively merged with Earth-One, Earth-Two, Earth-Four, and Earth-X to form one composite universe. It was restored to the Multiverse by the events of Convergence.

Points of Interest

Fawcett City:

Originally, the city lived in and protected by Captain Marvel, was unnamed, and was eventually revealed to be New York City.

• However in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #4 (1985), still Pre-Crisis, Fawcett City was stated to be his base of operations.
• Fawcett City actually appeared in no Golden Age comics; it was retconned into Earth-S history, shortly before the Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Other Cities:

A significant number of American cities existed uniquely on Earth-S, and many of these had no direct counterparts on "nearby" parallel worlds such as Earth-One or Earth-Two. Examples include:

• Carterville, home of the Devil's Dagger.
• Collegeville, home town of Atom Blake.
• Gotham City, home of Mr. Scarlet and Pinky.

Nations:

A significant number of modern nations existed uniquely on Earth-S, and many of these had no direct counterparts on "nearby" parallel worlds such as Earth-One or Earth-Two. Examples include:

• Africa:
  • Zubula, described in 1953 as the "Region of Zubula", source of the rare rdioactive mineral Sivanium.
• Central & South America:
  • Chilitina, tiny pro-Democracy republic on the Caribbean Coast of South America, Chilitina's most prominent geographic feature is Sugar Loaf Mountain.
  • Dorado, a Central American Republic, near the Panama Canal. Its capital is Lancho. The pro-Nazi regime of Presidente Marco Largo was replaced in 1943 by that of Admiral Royale Ricardo.
  • Rinaldo, a republic. Rinaldo's embassy in the USA was blown up in 1941.
• Europe:
  • Adolfuss, briefly a dictatorship.
  • Ecalpon, a war-torn hell-hole.
  • Franconia, very much like France, in early 1940, was a colonial power, with an army in Central Africa, and another army in North Africa.
  • Grafstan, a monarchy striving to become a democracy
  • Mentonia, a monarchy until at least 1941.
  • Pomania, in the Balkans, a monarchy until at least 1943.
  • Rugomania, occupied by the Allies post-WWII, hotbed of insurrection.
  • Slavonia in Central Europe, where peasants wear lederhosen, nobles wear capes, and dueling is legal.
  • Sylvania, an ancient mountain kingdom, long-time location of the legendary "Silver Slippers"
  • Yugovania, a small nation wracked by severe postwar food shortages

Secret Kingdoms and Lost Civilizations

A significant number of alien outposts, secret kingdoms, and lost civilizations, some populated and some not, existed uniquely on Earth-S, and many of these had no direct counterparts on "nearby" parallel worlds such as Earth-One or Earth-Two. Examples include:

• In the African jungle, 20 days travel inland from the Gold Coast, beyond the River of Skulls, is an unexplored region in which prehistoric giant rhinos and mammoths, monstrously large snakes, and gigantic frogs all live, alongside 15-foot-tall gorillas and 12-foot-tall men. In this area, sparrows grow as big as turkeys, and eagles grow as big as dive bombers. Some modern African elephants, not mammoths, also inhabit the region, and grow to be much larger than ordinary African elephants. More significantly, the legendary Elephants' Graveyard is in one remote part of this unexplored area.
• In an ocean, not identified in the chronicles, at the bottom of the Great Maelstrom, was the domed city of Atlantis, until 1953. The ancient city had long ago been taken over by savage Rhuk invaders, and was destroyed along with its barbarian population when the Great Maelstrom collapsed.
• In the Brazilian jungle, 15 days march inland from Rio de Janeiro, near the Great Mountain, a Forgotten World with populations of many long-extinct plant and animal species, discovered by Bill Watkins in 1948.
• In Guatemala, the Mayan Temple of Itzalotahui was situated atop a large deposit of oil and natural gas, whose location was known to only three people, who never revealed it.
• Two rival underground kingdoms existed in Mexico until 1940. One was Scorpia, located under a hidden valley of pyramid temples, and populated by green-skinned aliens, and the other was Subterinia, located under central Mexico and populated by descendants of the vanished Mexico of long ago. Both attempted to invade Mexico at the same time and instead came into conflict with one another, enabling the regular Mexican Army to destroy both of them, with explosives.
• In the Wartz Forest of Middle Europe, the Fortress of Freedom, founded in 1450 by Kroza, the leader of the Kroza Rebellion. This stone fortress sat unmolested for 500 years, until 1950, when another peasant rebellion overthrew the tyrannical rule of Kroza VIII.
• Somewhere in North America, within one day's car-driving distance of New York City, is a grotto, affording entrance to the Land of Surrealism. The location of this grotto was known only to the eccentric painter Vinch, and to Captain Marvel, who ensured that a map, leading to the site, was destroyed.
• In the South Atlantic Ocean, the floating island kingdom of Felicia was propelled across the ocean by a giant engine, harnessing volcanic gasses. Most of the city's buildings, weapons, and other artifacts were made of molten flexible glass. Wild animals strolled the streets streets and mingled with human pedestrians.
• In the South Atlantic Ocean, the stationary island kingdom of Malabad waged an unprovoked war against Felicia, using conventional bombers and other warplanes.
• In the South Pacific Ocean, until at least the early 1940s, there was an isolated Land of the Amazons.
• In the South Pacific Ocean, according to legend, and a map in the possession of Captain O'Casey of the "Starfish", the Lost City of Kazar, and all its riches, could be found.

Astronomy:

Several of the planets in the Earth-S universe are very different from their counterparts in other "nearby" universes such as Earth-Two or Earth-One. Examples include:

• Earth-S-Twin:
  • In 1949, a near-identical copy of planet Earth was discovered, by Professor Jimson, using a special infra-red telescope. This planet was nearly invisible, and on a collision course with Earth-S, until Captain Marvel placed it in orbit around a distant star. This planet and its people had a history that very closely paralleled that of Earth-S, with a few notable exceptions:
    • The North Pole was first explored in the late 1940s, by Sir Struthers, rather than in 1909, by Admiral Byrd.
    • Woolly Mammoths roamed the Arctic, but dogs and cats were extinct.
    • Antarctica was populated, and spaceships were in widespread use for commercial travel.
    • George Washington was currently the president of America, and Julius Caesar currently ruled Rome.
    • Neanderthal men, Vikings, Roman soldiers, and 1949-style civilians all lived in the same city.
    • Firearms had not been invented.
• Mars:
  • In the late 1940s, a group of Martians attempted to conquer Earth. They covered the western half of the United States with a green substance that appeared to be mold or a bacterial colony, but was actually solidified energy.
• Mercury:
  • In 1940 Mercury was ruled by an American gangster calling himself "Mighty Adwahl". He commanded an army of green alien monsters, and had subjugated the bug-like telepathic people of Mercury. The tiny native people lived underground, and the large green conquerors lived on the surface in their own city. Adwahl was overthrown, and his army either dispersed or destroyed, with the aid of another American Earthling.
  • In the far future, the planet Mercury will be ruled by a human-looking race of native Mercurian tyrants, who will have subjugated the human-sized trollish cave-people of Mercury, and taken over the planet's surface and its cities. These despots will be overthrown by a father-son team of American Earthlings.
• Punkus, home planet of Herkimer and other Crocodile-Men.
• Saturn:
  • In 1940 Atom Blake encountered an oppressed population of humans on Saturn, and freed them from the recurring invasions of plundering Praetorian aliens. The Saturnians draw "Time Fluid" from underground, and it has some amazing properties.
  • In 1941 Captain Marvel discovered an enslaved population of humans on Saturn, and freed them from an invasion of enslaving aliens. After this the Saturnian humans began the long hard task of rebuilding their civilization.
• Venus:
  • In Earth-S history, the planet Venus was explored and colonized by Dr. Thaddeus Bodog Sivana, some time before 1940.
    • Sivana established a spaceship base and a palace, and crowned his daughter, Beautia, the Empress of Venus.
    • Sivana once exported six rocketshipsful of Venusian wildlife, including bulletproof sabretooth tigers, prehistoric elephants, giant horned crocosaurs, and the gorillion (a hybrid gorilla-lion centaur), to Earth, where he displayed them in a traveling circus.
  • Venus is also the birthplace of international criminal mastermind Mister Mind, and is home to several species of brainless night-crawlers, slugs, and maggots.

Notes

• In 1972, to take advantage of nostalgic interest in Captain Marvel, DC Comics leased Fawcett Publication's stable of comic book characters (who had not been published since 1953) for appearances in new stories (and reprints). The Official Crisis on Infinite Earths Crossover Index and Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Compendium would establish that these characters were dispersed through DC's multiverse with the Marvel family going to Earth-S, the "funny animal" characters such as Captain Marvel Bunny going to Earth-C-Plus. This implied that licensed characters got their own realities.
• When Fawcett left comics publishing in 1953, they sold a handful of their characters (including Ozzie and Babs and Young Eagle) to Charlton Comics. These features are not considered as happening on Earth-S or Earth-C-Plus, but it is possible (but not confirmed) they may have happened on Earth-Four.
• In 1977, it was revealed that (former Quality Comics character) Kid Eternity (and related characters) also lived on Earth-S.
• Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Compendium noted two Captain Thunder realties: Earth-Forty and Earth-276.
• A hypertime reality very similar to Earth-S was visited by the Flash and Atom of Earth-898. Its relationship to the original Earth-S is unknown.
• A seemingly similar universe, Earth-5, was part of the post-Infinite Crisis Multiverse. Likewise, Earth 5 in the post-Flashpoint Multiverse also is similar to Earth-S.
