Comment(s):
- The Creature Commandos are taken 1,000 years in the future, to an alternate future, though very different from that of the 30th Century of the Legion of Super-Heroes. On June 18, 2243, a global nuclear war ravaged the Earth. To remind themselves not to repeat history, the survivors gathered many of the world's monuments in a dumping ground. Some 198 years later, on April 4, 2441, survivors were summoned by Claude and his twin sister Claudia. The 200 years of radiation has stimulated their thyroids into rapid growth, making them some 15 feet tall. To avoid future war, it was decided to eliminate difference between the people of Earth. After a month of debate initiated a cloning process that took 284 years to make everyone on Earth match. This led to 252 years of peace, however in the year 2943 the Creature Commandos would find any differences were no longer permitted.
