I really like superhero stuff. The Marvel wiki has 1,725 pages on different realities of the Marvel Multiverse, the DC Wiki has 315, so I added it up, and averaged it out to 1,020, but I just thought 1020 without the comma looked better. Anyway I'll try my best to explain below, and I sometimes have trouble explaining my ideas properly.
1. Earth - This Earth is set in the same year as our own, but is much different. This is both because of the obvious superhumans, and also the world in general, and its history is different. The history of Earth 1020 is largely the same aside from two Alien incidents, one of which happened thousands of years ago, and will be explained below. The other Alien incident happened May 11th, 1946. The Earth was invaded by a race of beings known as Vaus'Karn (Their Language, when translated to English) but referred to as Drainers by humanity in English.
The Drainers are a race of tall (averaging 7'5") asexual, Aliens. They have kind of a serpent meets arachnid, with some human thrown in kind of look. Their base seems human, but skeletally thin, which does not affect their strength, they are very strong, able to easily rip people apart. They possess tails, like that of a lizard. They have an exoskeleton, giving them a smooth/streamlined appearance. Their eyes have clear, lids and are pitch black, giving them a blank, staring face, with unblinking eyes. At first their mouths appear human, but when opened, their jaws stretch much wider, like a snake's mouth, and filled with shark like, teeth. Drainers have what look like stiff, spikes on their backs, four in total, somewhat resembling spider, legs. These "spikes" are actually flexible, and hollow at the tips, which they impale through their victims, and then drain their body fluids out, hence their name as Drainers.
The Drainers to put it simply, don't like humans. Their dislike is almost like an instinct. They react to humans, the way most humans react to snakes, and spiders. They just have this intense, disgust, and their immediate reaction to "squash" any human they see. In their minds we are gross, little, roaches, and they're the newspaper, wielders smacking us, before we spread any diseases.
To put it simply the Drainers attacked, and would have decimated humanity, if not for a fatal mistake. They utilized a Biological Weapon, a type of gas that affects DNA, and against past targets, it usually turned them into goop. When used against humanity however it would often cause spontaneous illnesses, but two percent, of humans when exposed to the gas, instead developed superhuman abilities. Humanity has always had these powers locked away, and the gas just brought it to the surface for some. Everyone's genes are unique which is why people developed different powers, rather than everyone having the exact same powers.
With super humans coming out, "supernatural" beings which do exist here, felt more comfortable about coming out in public.
The Drainers had less in numbers, but their superior technology meant they had a kill ratio of about 500+ humans for every 1 of them that died. In the end the War lasted 11 years. It ended with;
Humanity - Victory (Because the Drainers had exhausted too many resources to keep fighting.) Human casualties stood at an estimated 327+ million.
Drainer Casualties were estimated at about 80,000 (Their total numbers were estimated at 1 million+ In a continued war, they would have crushed humanity, they literally had to pull out due to resource concerns. Resources that simply could not be replenished quickly enough.)
Due to the war, the rest of our history went differently;
1. Super Powered People, became common.
2. The Soviet Union never fell, but are allies with the U.S. rather than enemies.
3. There is not a world government, but similar to Mass Effect there is a unified military called "The Union" that anyone of any country can opt to join. Individual nations still have their own militaries as well.
4. There is still a South Vietnam.
5. Vampires, Werewolves etc exist in the open, and researchers have figured out how to make a substitute for blood, so Vampires don't have to attack people.
6. The world is slightly more advanced. It's kind of like the Animated Batman series where some stuff looks dated, and other stuff is advanced. The Drainers were pretty tight, about keeping their technology to themselves, usually upon death, they would activate a kind of acid bath, to make sure their technology did not fall into human hands. As a result things like Vehicles, Computers, and Firearms are the same. We do however have small, super soldier programs, cyborgs exist, and our knowledge on things like bio-chemistry are higher hence the ability to make fake blood, that Vampires can consume.
The other "Aliens" I mentioned. A hyper advanced, race kind of like the Celestials of Marvel. In this world they are called The Progenitors. Anyway in Marvel, and DC there are aliens whom are very human looking, to the point of being indistinguishable. In this world The Progenitors are the reason for this. Thousands of years ago they abducted mass populations of other "Hominids;
Homo Erectus, Homo Floresiensis, Homo Heidelbergenis, and Neanderthals
These four species were relocated, and evolved differently, on the worlds they were dropped on. Similar to Kryptonians in DC they all evolved to eventually look like modern, humans, though certain traits may be retained, such as the race that came from Neanderthals may on occasion have a prominent forehead.
As for what they each became;
Homo Erectus are now referred to Stomians from the planet Stomia. The Stomians are the most similar to humans. They don't really have any special powers, and there are many countries, with different kinds of governments. They are slightly more advanced on the engineering side, they have things like energy weapons, and flying cars.
Homo Floresiensis became Lieovans from the planet Lieova. The Lieovans are like a race of humans as ants. They have a very "Socialist" kind of government, but it's like mixed with a matriarchy, women of a certain age, are looked to for guidance, Usually every city has a few, matriarchs. Their technology "specialty" is very life/agricultural based. Hunger does not exist on their world. They have purified their water sources, invented serums to render toxins/poisons harmless, basically they can eat, or drink any kind of wild animal, flower, fruit, vegetable etc. Their bodies are also different, and like Kryptonians they develop extreme, physical powers under the right conditions. For them their powers are not solar, but air based. A planet with the right mix of gases in the air like Earth grants them powers.
Homo Heidelbergenis are now Keronians from Keron. They are not quite "super" human, but the average Keronian can lift 800 to 1,000+ pounds, in kilograms that's like 363 to 453 kilograms. In other words the average one of them is as strong as a Peak Human from Earth, and their own athletes are low, superhuman being able to press about 2-3 tons. They are a divided people, because of two conflicting government bodies. 54% of their world is under a "thin" government so to speak. It's like they have almost total freedom, but they still have cops, military, that kind of stuff. People are free just so long as their freedom does not harm others. The other 46% of the world is more strict, more laws, more rules etc. This isn't totally a bad thing, their larger government means things like less homeless people, more people with medical assistance etc.
Homo Neanderthalinsis have become Sharlings from Shars. The Shar people are more tribal, without a government really. Tribes can reach sizes of a few thousand members, and each has their own customs, and cultures. For the most part they all get along, and peacefully negotiate over resources. They have evolved to be Psychic, though usually they're weak. Most can only read minds via touching the person they wish to read, and telekinesis is usually like being able to open a door. Still about 1% of the population will develop stronger, abilities, on par with typical psychics in comics.
DC uses the term "Metahuman", and Marvel uses the word "Mutant". On Earth 1020 these people are called Extra's which is somewhat used an insult. The original meaning was just that they are people with extra abilities. However, some normal, and resentful humans use the term as meaning that they are like worthless, background characters, that shouldn't be there/
I'm currently unsure of what else to put.
