Moon

The S'raphh

Millenia ago, the surface of the Moon was home to a race of angel-like beings called the S'raphh. They lived an idyllic existence there, but possessed a deep longing to discover how and why their race existed, driving them to leave the Moon and search the universe for answers.

Having found none, the entire S'raphh race fell into a deep depression and committed mass suicide by flying into the great oceans of fire that once covered the Moon. Unfortunately, the collective unconscious of the race survived and was transformed into a demonic being called Null the Living Darkness.

The Kree-Skrull War

The Blue Area of the Moon was created by the Alien: Skrull 1 million years ago as a testing site for the Cotati and the Alien: Kree. An equal number of Kree and Cotati were left in the Blue Area to see what they could accomplish. The Kree built the Blue City that fills most of the Blue Area, while the Cotati created a complex but subtle ecosystem. When the Skrulls judged the Cotati's achievement greater, the Kree rebelled and killed both the Skrulls and the Cotati. They took the Skrulls' starship and abandoned the area.

The 20th Century

Officially, the first manned mission to the Moon occurred on July 20, 1969 when the United States Apollo 11 mission facilitated the first landing. However, there have been a number of prior Moon landings that are not known by the general population.

The first of these occurred in the year 1940, when Dr. Simon Crane constructed a rocket to fly to the Moon. Accompanying him were his daughter, Betty and his colleague, Professor Philo Zog who brought his invention, the robot Electro, along on the mission. There, they discovered a strange castle owned by an alien named Gnorr. When they were captured by Gnorr, Zog used Electro to liberate themselves, slaying Gnorr and destroying his castle in the process.

A race of sentient robots had apparently been living on the Moon for a period of time. They required water to remain operational and used a device to pull water from Earth's oceans. In 1949 they were discovered when they accidentally pulled Aquar to the Moon with their latest load of water. They then wiped out Aquar's memories of the experience and returned him to Earth.

In 1950, scientist Randy Dover built a rocket to fly to the Moon. He took with him Beauty Magazine editor Venus to document the adventure. There, they were attacked by strange creatures called Luna-Things and faced volcanic eruptions. They were brought back to Earth thanks to Jupiter and Hermes, Venus then erased Randy's memories of the flight, leaving him to believe that it was a failure; the world at large never became aware of Dover's successful mission.

The 21st Century

The first modern occurrence with the Moon was from the Tribbitites' invasion of Earth, which involved them spinning it out of orbit and closer to Earth, causing massive destruction until Earth would be forced out of its orbit. Their plan was stopped by Seethe (Brian Bradley), who used his Gamma Ray Projector to shoot the Tribbitites out into space.

One decade ago, the Fabulous Four and Doppler (Olivia Oudet) both landed there.

In the years since, the Blue Area saw increasing traffic. The area was used as the site for the trial by combat of Psy Girl (Emma Goode) and the New Omega Men against the Shi'ar Empire's Imperial Guard. The greatest change to the area occurred when the Inhuman transplanted their entire city of Attilan to the Blue Area.

While passing over the barren Moon, a highly-sensitive robot detector picked up the first faint trace of the Kallusians and sent a deltanoid ray hurtling towards the Arctic region.

Inside the orbit of the Moon, a heavily damaged spaceship suddenly appeared from interstellar space, only to fall down to Earth.

Count Dormont met with Sister Ruin (Jessica Crowley) on the Moon. There, he proposed a non-aggression treaty with Ruin, which enabled him to coordinate plans for an attack on England without encroaching upon any of Sister Ruin's prospective interests.

At some point, Mr. Crowley the very ancient and powerful Axe of Angarruumus in a witch's crypt at the centre of the Moon.

For a brief time, the Moon was colonized by humanity after the discovery of a powerful metal called Phlogistone, and its inhabitants lived in a city named Tranquility Gulch. However, the Moon was abandoned once all of the Phlogistone was rendered inert by Armoury, who had discovered constant exposure to this metal caused dementia and, ultimately, death.

Later, Amazing Man (Nathan Walker) created the Grey Area of the Moon to house New Attilan.
