First Appearance: What If...? II#114 (November, 1998)
History:
(What If? II#114 (fb) - BTS) - During the Secret Wars (@ Secret
Wars#1-12), Galactus and the Beyonder killed each other and Reed
Richards in the process, robbing the residents of Battleworld of
their best chance of returning to Earth.
Many of the villains continued to war, with other fatalities including Bulldozer, Captain Marvel, Cyclops, Dr. Octopus, Kang, Magneto, and Spider-Woman. After about five years, the groups achieved peace, with Doom building a replica of his Latverian castle and the Hulk going off to live in isolation to contemplate how they might return to Earth. The rest of the group lived in peace in a small community, many of them marrying and having children. The fate of the Enchantress is not certain, but she did mother Vincent and Balder, through Dr. Doom and the Enchantress, respectively. Balder claimed that Dr. Doom had killed her.
(What If? II#114) - On Bravado's 18th birthday,
a group of the teens rebelled, with Malefactor seemingly killing
his father (Doom) and then gathering Chokehold, Gator, Klaw,
Moleculon, and Raze and planning to take over the planet. After
Bravado turned down Malefactor's offer to join them, he informed
Crusader, Firefly, Mustang, and Torrent, who made plans to stop
them. As the rebels took the lead in the struggle, the adults
joined the conflict. The return of the Hulk, combined with the
return of Doom, who had faked his own death and then came back to
take Malefactor away for punishment, spelled the end of the
conflict. The Hulk then revealed his discovery, combining
advanced 30th century technology from the deceased Kang to help
Thor's hammer navigate to from an interdimensional portal back to
Earth.
However, as they prepared to do so, Uatu the
Watcher appeared before them, seemingly warning them that
something bad would happen if they returned to Earth. The adults
called off the trip, but later that night the young heroes
accessed the machine, traveling to Earth for the first time and
finding it overrun by Sentinels. The five of them agreed to stay
on Earth as the Avengers, planning to liberate the world.
(Avengers Forever#11, 12) - Chokehold,
Gator, Malefactor, Molecule, and Raze were amongst the Avengers
from timelines that "went bad...turned dark and destructive"
summoned to the Citadel at the End of Time by the Time-Keepers to
hold off the Avengers while they prepared their Chrono-Cannon to
eliminate all such realities which threatened their existence.
They were also opposed by Rick Jones, the Supreme
Intelligence, Libra, and a second army of Avengers from timelines
that didn't "go sour;" This second army included the
Avengers of Earth-Battleworld: Bravado, Crusader, Firefly,
Mustang, and Torrent
When Captain America destroyed the Forever
Crystal, all of the Avengers returned from whence they'd come.
SECRET WARS III HAPPENED
(Scarlet Witch III#9 (fb) - BTS) - Crusader sent a distress call to Scarlet Witch on Earth-616.
(Scarlet Witch III#9) - Scarlet Witch and Joseph helped Crusader stop Malefactor from conquering Battleworld with his robot army.
Comments: Created by Jay Faerber, Gregg Schigiel, and Jose Marzan jr.
This reality diverged from the events of Earth-616 @ Secret Wars#12.
In Secret Wars, Owen Reece
used his powers to transport most of the villains back to Earth.
I'm not sure why he couldn't just do the same thing here.
The Hulk, during Secret Wars, was on the verge
of degenerating from Banner's mind to savage form, but perhaps he
was able to maintain control on Battleworld...or he may have lost
control, but later regained it.
Lastly, the information in the What If story
makes it appear as if Battleworld were in an alternate dimension.
My impression was that instead on the far side of the galaxy.
I thought I had gotten all of the names from What If...? II#114, but I really don't see them all, especially Raze. Were they named elsewhere?
