Earth-11
The history of Earth-11 remains largely unrevealed. It is generally
believed that at an analogous point in history as the flight of the
Amazons from Greece in other timelines, the female warriors chose not to
retreat to a hidden island in the Atlantic but instead chose to spread
their philosophy to all the emerging cultures of the Earth, leading to
the rise of world-wide adoption of matriarchal forms of government.
Whereas in most timelines, men occupied positions most likely to
encounter alien life forms, be exposed to situations from which
super-powers might arise or assume powers as rules of various kingdoms
and states, on Earth-11 these roles are occupied by women. Greek in
origin, this new culture called their home planet Gaea and the universe
The Pankosmos.
Early contact with Earth-11 led to confusing
details. A version of Earth-11 was encountered by the Batman of
Earth-0. Here Batwoman was identified as Helena, though he later roles
she is known as Bryce Wayne or Kathy Kane (Superman/Batman
#23-24).. Here the involvement of Mr. Mxyzptlk
and Bat-Mite may have created errors in the record as the former had tried similar antics on Earth-One (Superman Vol. 1 #349). The Green Lantern of this Earth was originally identified as
Kylie Rayner, a parallel to Kyle Rayner in other timelines (Countdown:
The Search for Ray Palmer: Superwoman/Batwoman). This version has not
been seen since and may reflect ripples in continuity around the
Countdown event may have obscured accuracy of events.
Costumed
adventurers are believed to have emerged on Earth-Two during the second
World War, forming an collective analogous to the Justice Society or
All-Star Squadron. Known members or associates include the original
Jess Quick, Liberty Bill, Dr. Mid-Nite, Maxine Mercury and Professor
Quick (Jayne Garrick), Many of these are believed to have died by the
beginning of the 21st century.
At some point in the past 10-20
years, the costumed adventurers of Earth-11 formed a super-team known as
the Justice Guild. Prominent members include Superwoman, Batwoman,
Aquawoman and the Flash (alternately known as Jesse Quick). The origin
of this team has not been entirely documented but has faced
gender-switched threats of Alexia Luthor (Countdown: The Search for Ray
Palmer: Superwoman/Batwoman)., Doctor Sivana (Multiversity:
Thunderworld) and Staralla, the Star-Conqueress (DC's Very Merry Multiverse #1).
An
important event in the Guild's history occurred when Maxine Lord
murders Booster Gold, only to be killed in turn by Wonder Man, a
founding member of the Guild and Prince of Elysium Island. His actions
result in his explusion from the Guild and subsequent prosecution
provoked the male Amazons of Elysium to declare war on the world of
women. The battle was fierce but the Elysians were defeated by Queen
Ariel (Aquawoman) and the arrival of Atlantean troops (Countdown: The
Search for Ray Palmer: Superwoman/Batwoman). Prince Dane was imprisoned by the Justice Guild, tho recently escaped and had to be subdued in a pitched battle with the Justice Guild (Wonder Woman #777). Aquawoman becomes leader of the Guild and eventually joined Justice Incarnate, a multiversal super-team as the representative of Earth-11 (Multiversity #1, Infinite Frontier #1-6, Justice Incarnate #1-6).
A vagary unlike most of the simple gender switches in the primacy of the Star Sapphires as the cosmic corps of law enforcers under the Star Sapphire Sorority. Their designated agent on Earth-11 is Carol Jordan, sometime paramour of Hal Ferris, the Chosen Son of the Patrons of Pankosmos, founders of the Green Lantern Corps (Green Lantern Season One #10-11, Green Lantern Season Two #9-10), Most recently, a spin off of the trainees and offspring of the Justice Guild known as Teen Justice discovered an off-shoot of the Green Lanterns led by Sinestra had murdered the cultist Sister Blood and replaced her on earth. Hal Ferris infiltrates the group but is murdered before he can reveal their activities. Teen Justice, at the cost of Raven's life, ultimately defeats Sinestra and her renegade lanterns (Multiversity: Teen Justice #1-6).
At some point in the future, Batwoman murders the Joker, and becomes the Batwoman Who Laughs (Justice League Incarnate #2-3). Whether this outcome is the future of the mainline Earth-11 or an off shoot thereof is unclear.
Multiversal Index
Balance of Good and Evil
Overall, the weight of probability in this timeline favors good, similar to timelines such as Earth-One, Earth Two and Earth-0. Forces the favor justice - the Justice Guild, the Star Sapphires - emerge victorious considerably more often than other forces acting in to oppose justice.
Abundance of Magic
The forces of magic in the Earth-11 timeline are evident in a relatively common fashion. Magic users such as the Zatanna-Zatara family, Teen Justice's Klarienne the Witch Girl, the other-dimension sorcery of Raven and the magic weaponry employed by the warriors of Elysium. While evident and not uncommon, magic is not dominant over science as a driving force of universal physics in this timeline.
Arrival of Heroes
While historical records are largely unrevealed, it is known that costumed adventurers were active in at least the 1940's. Many of those that have been revealed are speedsters and the evidence of other super-powered entities has not been full established. By the early 21st century, multiple generations of metahuman dynasties are evident in Earth-11.
