Sure, Counter Earth's history is very similar to Earth, but 70 years ago, there was... A divergence. A man from another world came, hoping to find a perfect world. He was quickly disgusted with what he found, and decided to "clean house". He discreetly set himself up, and got to work creating his "perfect" people to populate his Utopia- This was the rise of the Beastials; mutant animals, in varying states of near-human. Between his advanced technology, his machine enforcers and a rapidly increasing force of loyal Beastials, it wasn't long before this man conquered Counter Earth and declared himself "The High Evolutionary", supreme ruler. The Beastials enjoy privelage, and status living above the clouds in towering metropli, while humans are kept in second class, populating the crowded ruins/slums of the old cities, called "The Basement". They're all "tagged", implanted with tracking devises so that they can be tracked at all times (The Rebellion has rigged themselves with means of jamming the signal to avoid being scattered and wiped out). People, Beastials and humans alike, mostly go about their daily lives, many of whom grew up not knowing anything but the rule of The High Evolutionary, but there is an underground resistance building, occasionally being a pebble in The High Evolutionary's shoe, but otherwise planning and biding their time... There are also masked vigilantes, some nursing grudges against the powers that be, but otherwise not aligning themselves with the Rebellion. Others are victims of this world, and fighting to protect others, and more still have their own special motivations. [u][b]Figures of Note[/b][/u] [u]The High Evolutionary[/u] [center][img]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/legendsofthemultiuniverse/images/f/fb/Highevolutionary.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140819025453[/img][/center] The main villain of the series, the High Evolutionary, disgusted with the behavior of human on Earth, believed that a greater genetic diversity heightens survival traits. He left Earth to travel to Counter-Earth to begin anew, but found the same destructive tendencies that Human's had plagued his Earth. The High Evolutionary then proceeded to create a new society, with his human/animal creatures loyal only to him called Beastials (Half-humans, Half-animals). The High Evolutionary also created an elite squad of Beastials called the Knights of Wundagore, who also use the Machine Men as law enforcers to keep the humans in order. The New York City on Counter-Earth is divided vertically with humans living on the bottom and the Beastials living miles above the street, ruling with an iron fist. The High Evolutionary's plan was simple, to turn this planet into an earthly paradise, no matter what it takes. [u]The Knights of Wundagore[/u] [center][img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelanimated/images/8/89/Knights_of_Wundagore.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160822065916[/img][/center] Knights of Wundagore - A group of elite Beastials who serve the High Evolutionary.

He was later placed as the leader of the Knights of Wundagore. Unlike his comrades, Lord Tyger's nobility is genuine; he operates with a sense of honor and tries to be fair and patient with humans. But, he is loyal to the High Evolutionary, and believes in their cause, even if he looks down on the actions of some of his fellows. [u]Sir Ram[/u] [center][img]https://www.shadowlordinc.com/characters/Spider-Man/2-Sir_Ram.jpg[/img][/center] One of the High Evolutionary's Knights of Wundagore and a genetically-evolved bighorn sheep.

She is flirtatious, but don't let her "lady like" demeanor fool you- she's just as capable in combat as her fellow Knights, and can be quite cunning.

His family was taken to Castle Wundagore by the High Evolutionary and they were never seen again. Bromely was angered with the High Evolutionary that destroyed his life and family and decided to join the Human Rebels. [u]Git Hoskins[/u] [center][img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelanimated/images/a/a0/Git_Hoskins.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180806005106[/img][/center] Git is a member of the rebels who doesn't speak. Sir Ram made an experiment on Git when he was young, resulting in him having mummy-like bandages and giving him the powers to stretch and control his bandages. Due to his appearance, he didn't have any friends growing up. Because of this, he has a personal grudge against Sir Ram. [u]X-51[/u] X-51 was an obsolete Machine Man who crashed and unexpectedly gained sentience. As the result, the android becomes benevolent and protects humans from the High Evolutionary. X-51 joined the rebels for both humanity and machines' freedom. [u]Green Goblin[/u] [center][img]https://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel/i/mg/e/f0/4cd05ee55faa2/standard_xlarge.jpg[/img][/center] Hector Jones is the Counter-Earth Green Goblin. This version is actually a hero instead of a villain. Instead of a glider, he wields a backpack that sprouts wings. [u]Vulture[/u] [center][img]https://pyxis.nymag.com/v1/imgs/364/308/2c19120ef0846f441cf7bbcdd6f01f5ea8-2001-spider-man-unlimited.w710.jpg[/img][/center] He is the Counter-Earth version of the Vulture. Like the Counter Earth Green Goblin, this version of the Vulture is a hero instead of a villain. Vulture was a human who got Bestial powers, hanging out with Beastials and disrespecting humans while he was also playing with his human servant's son. When he caused his human friend trouble, he hated the High Evolutionary for what he did and rebelled against him.
