History
The Sahara Desert is the world's largest hot desert. It covers most of Northern Africa, making it almost as large as the United States or the continent of Europe. The desert stretches from the Red Sea, including parts of the Mediterranean coasts, to the outskirts of the Atlantic Ocean. To the south, it is delimited by the Sahel: a belt of semi-arid tropical savanna that comprises the northern region of central and western Sub-Saharan Africa.
Several years ago, an alien super-team known as the Hyperclan arrived on Earth with a pledge to "heal the world". To prove their word to the people of Earth, team leader Protex led the Hyperclan on an ambitious plan to terra-form the barren Sahara Desert, transforming it into a vibrant, lush, paradise. Several of Earth's super-heroes including Superman grew concerned over these supposed "miracle cures", citing that such a fast and dramatic change to the landscape could have unpredictable, even disastrous implications in the future. Superman's concerns proved true, as only a short time later, the Hyperclan's efforts were reversed and the Sahara returned to it's previous state. [1][2]
