Foreword imprint of DC Comics. ALL RIGHTS The Beyond Heroes Role Playing Game RESERVED. is based on a heavily revised derivative version of the rules system from Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd edition. It also makes extensive use of the optional point buying system as presented in the AD&D Player’s Option Skills and Powers book. My primary goal was to make this system usable in any setting, from fantasy to pulp to superhero to science fiction.

The DC Universe is filled with many strange and myriad worlds, upon which dwell an amazing variety of intelligent life forms. Some of these life forms are benevolent, while many others are hostile. To give a complete listing of all the alien worlds that have appearedover the years would require several volumes the size of this book, so this chapter is limited to those worlds that have appeared many times and played a major role in the destinies of Earth’s heroes.

From the dawn of history, the DC Universe has been shaped by the presence of extraterrestrial beings. The multiverse was spawned by Krona, the renegade Oan, while his brother Guardians dedicated their existence to repairing the damage caused by his forbidden experiments, leading to the creation of the noble Green Lantern Corps. The rulers of Ancient Egypt, Pharoah Khufu and Princess Chay-Ara, found their lives forever altered by the Thanagarian Nth-Metal.

When Krona created evil in the form of the Antimatter Universe the Oans disagreed on how to handle the situation. One group of Oans wanted to dedicate their immortal existences to contain evil. This group eventually became the Guardians of the Universe. Another group decided that evil should be destroyed. Traveling to another universe this group became the Controllers.

Just as the Guardians slowly changed their physical appearances over billions of years of existence, so did the Controllers.

Daxamite Type: Humanoid, Kryptonas Sapiens

Physical Traits: Although Daxamites are descendants and separatist of Kryptonians, the genomes are very similar but their weaknesses are different between lead and kryptonite. Daxamites are indistinguishable from humans but have their greater height and muscle builds (this can be explained as an extreme example of convergent evolution).

Daxamites, once outside their star system, acquire new abilities determined by the frequency of each sun's light and internal radiation. White stars, orange stars, dwarf stars, giant stars and blue stars all give them different properties. Their cells are natural organic solar batteries that absorb and metabolize solar energy, giving them their various abilities.

Under a yellow sun, Daxamites experience a dramatic increase in physical strength that exceeds the limits of what is physically possible for a creature of comparable size and build. Daxamite cellular structure is much more dense, resilient, and biologically more effective than human tissue. They do not possess superhuman strength levels despite their enhanced cellular ability without their cellular structure charged with yellow solar energy.

Without such charging, their physical capabilities are identical to a human of their height and weight who engages in regular physical activity. As aliens, they possesses several organs whose functions are not yet disclosed or understood, but are believed to be part of or the source of their bio-matrix force field and reclamation aura. 56

They have sought it ever since, all the while engaging in a covert religious war with the main body of Durlan society, who they describe as "Purist Durlans". Futurist Durlans favour a humanoid shape, with bright red skin, exposed teeth and prominent claws on their two hand. A third group, apparently spared the "six-minute war" through the machinations of Brainiac, has been uncovered since then.

They were captured and turned into a bottle city by the Coluan tyrant, but were rescued during the closing stages of the New Krypton Affair by a commando team from the 31st century. It is implied that this group will somehow lead Durlan society to its place in the United Planets, and that the Daggle family has its origins within it.

When Krypton was destroyed, it was thought that the entire Kryptonian race was destroyed. This was largely disproven by the survival of Kal-L or Kal-El, who was sent off Krypton to Earth by their fathers right before their source worlds were destroyed. Kal-L grew up on Earth as Clark Kent and eventually discovered his Kryptonian origins, where Kal-El grew up on Earth aware of his Kryptonian heritage. The current incarnation reflects more of Kal- L, understanding that he is biologically Kryptonian but considering himself as a human culturally.

Kal-El and Kal-L were NOT the only survivors of their respective home worlds. In most dimensions, their cousin Kara (Power Girl in Earth-Two dimension and Supergirl in Earth-One dimension and current reality) would also be sent from Krypton to Earth. In some dimensions, the entire city of Argo would also survive the destruction of Krypton either being thrown off the exploding planet or as a space colony away from the source planet.

While fleeing from a Progeny attack which killed two of her friends, Shikari would encounter the other Legionnaires, held in stasis, who had been flung through a rift to the Second Galaxy - though displaced only in space rather than time and space. Revived, they aided her in driving off the Progeny, then followed her to their "brief-home," where they helped the Kwai to gather resources for moving on, and the Kwai helped in turn to make their heavily damaged ship functional, and created a new containment suit for Wildfire from their plastic-like "Use-weave".

These experiments led to the White Martians to discover the metagene in human beings that would grant humans metahuman powers. Due to their experiments, they actually altered the destiny of the human race. Whereas before evolution would have eventually made mankind into a race of superhumans similar to the Daxamites and Kryptonians, or the Martians themselves, now only a select few humans would be able to develop metahuman powers.

This was another reason for the war between the White and Green Martians, who were outraged by such biological vandalism. Furthermore, the White Martians also created a metavirus, a metagene that could be passed from host to host via touch.

Both were killed during the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths.

After the creation of the new multiverse, a new race of 52 different Monitors is seen to be active trying to protect the multiverse from corruption as a community. Each monitor is assigned to its own world, and they all vary at least slightly in appearance. A version of the Anti-Monitor is also seen to be active helping the Sinestro Corps on Qward. Although they are seen again, the Monitors play their next largest roles in Countdown.

In the end, the revised origin of the Monitors took this form: in the beginning, a gigantic, limitless, vast intelligence named Monitor but referred to in places as "Overmonitor" or "Overvoid", discovered the Bleed and the Multiverse within, a 'flaw' at its heart.

Disturbed, it sent out a probe in a similar form to that of the original "Monitor" from Crisis on Infinite Earths that fed back the chaos of every story of the Infinite Earths all at once; overwhelmed by the very idea of a "story," the Monitor recalled the probe and sealed off the Bleed by creating the Multiverse Machine (or "Orrery of Worlds"), but his contemplation of the workings of the Machine (doubtless combined with the established fact that the Monitor was linked to all positive matter) resulted in 139

This chamber contains a large number of secret projects that the Guardians had created in their long existence. These included holding tanks that contained the Psions, manufacturing plants for Manhunters and conversion platforms for Alpha Lanterns.

The Chamber of Shadows – Located in a black hole, this cube shaped stony structure was built early in the Guardians' history when they decided to bring order to a chaotic cosmos. During this time, great power was imparted onto a being that they called The First Lantern but they were ultimately forced to imprison this being. According to Krona, the Guardians betrayed the First Lantern and locked him within a Lantern shaped device which in turn was placed within the Chamber of Shadows which became a prison with numerous chains encompassing it.

The Vault of Shadows – A hidden mausoleum built early in the Guardians' history apparently just after the imprisonment of the First Lantern. It is located in space sector 180 at the edge of the known Universe and it is considered a sister structure to the Chamber of 156

A common example of this is to dimensional race of beings who were worshipped as gods during the Ancient 158

Greece. They no longer seek worshippers today, but they are still worshipped by the Amazons and Atlanteans.

The Olympians came into being from the effects of the Godwave energy spilled forth from the creation of the Fourth World, and came to power in the ancient world after overthrowing the Titans. This battle had weakened them and Hecate realized that if viewed as threat they would be a target of other gods of the universe. As a result she cast a spell that caused anyone that knew of them to believe they were much younger than themselves and therefore not worth bothering with.

However, Uxas came to Earth and told Zeus the ruler, god of the sky stories of their exploits to the inhabitants of Rome. This caused worship of the Olympians to increase so dramatically that to cope they split themselves into the Greek and Roman gods who eventually became separate beings. Too late, the Olympians realized that this had been part of a long time plan of Uxas to weaken them by dividing their overall power.

Some of the Olympians played a role in the creation of the Amazons, who have been guided and protected by the goddesses ever since.

He offered that whatever price that Dream asked, he and the Japanese gods would pay it. In the end, he left after Dream made the decision to give the key to the angels, Duma and Remiel, under orders of the Creator to keep Hell as a place for Demons.

While Lucifer was on his journey to the Japanese underworld in search of his severed wings in the next stage of his quest for divine power, he set out to reclaim his lost wings, which were in the possession of Izanami, the ruling deity of the House of Windowless Rooms. Izanami's children Susano-o-Mikoto, Izanami: goddess of the underworld Kagutsuchi, Yama-no-Kami, and Tsuki- yomi let Lucifer stay in the House and acted cordial toward him, but in truth, they plotted his murder, a feat only possible because Lucifer was mortal in Izanami's realm.

Susano-o-Mikoto summoned the demon Musubi and sent her to kill Lucifer, but Lucifer convinced her to join his cause. As a psychopomp, Lucifer could choose her soul's destination if he killed her, so Musubi allowed it to free herself from Izanami's service. Later at a banquet, Kagutsuchiu provoked Lucifer. While attempting to kill Lucifer with his mystic blade, Kagutsuchi was tricked into striking and killing Tsuki-yomi and was killed by the poison from the demon Musubi's sacs that Lucifer had placed Kagutsuchi: god of fire into his wine during the banquet. 187
