HistoryEdit

In the 853rd Century the galaxy is protected by the Justice Legion, which were inspired by the 20th Century; Justice League and the 31st Century; Legion of Super-Heroes, among other heroes throughout time. The most well known team is the Justice Legion Alpha, which protects the solar system, includes future analogues of Superman, Hourman, Starman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Batman and the Flash. Due to advanced terraforming processes made all the solar System's planets habitable, with the ones most distant from the Sun being warmed by Solaris, that was reprogrammed by one of Superman's descendants. Earth’s solar system has been linked into a single huge, re-engineered data processing network, its worlds joined to one another—and to other eras—by instantaneous travel. Artificial star-computers provide limitless energy and link cultures via the Galactic Macronet, overseen by the United Galaxies. On Earth, whole populations exist in tesseracts, leaving the planetary surface pristine, watched over by the society of Green Arrows. Humans have evolved “neo-cortex structures” and innate telepathy, accessing the info-dense Headnet with the aid of chip implants, and enjoying the benefits of designer genes. The heroic dynasties of earlier eras are held in high esteem, with a thriving trade in totemic power icons that grant temporary metahuman powers.

The original Superman still lives, but has spent over fifteen thousand years in a self-imposed exile in his Fortress of Solitude in the heart of our sun. 

When Superman Prime, the archetypal hero, plans to return from the heart of Earth’s primary Sun (see 701st Century), the tyrant sun Solaris resumes his evil ways, plotting with the ancient Vandal Savage to destroy Superman, while simultaneously sending his own consciousness back to the 20th century via a nanotech virus to force his own creation (see 2003/Yr15). Even as he succeeds at bringing himself into being in the past, however, he and Savage meet destruction in the future, thanks to the planning of our own era’s JLA.

Meanwhile (among other details)…
• The one millionth clone of Superboy discovers our era’s Guardian, preserved alive in Antarctic ice…
• The aged Captain Marvel passes his powers on to a worthy youth named Tanist…
• …and in deep space, a society of worlds called the United Planets Cluster (including the merged Colu/Bgztl and Daxam/Imsk) is watched over by the Justice Legion L, carrying on the tradition of the 30th-century Legion with the help of the “Wildflame.” They guide the Cluster toward Earth, hoping to “replenish its diversity,” but the quest is sabotaged by one of the JLL’s own members, Titangirl.

[Later] John Fox is contacted again by Wally West, seeking help against Cobalt Blue’s gem (see2004/Yr16, 2980).

In 855Th Century: the hero Temporal and the villain ATemporal was born.
