History

Earth-1927 is a parallel Earth in which the said planet was wrecked by pollution. The survivors of humanity led by by Jon Kent, Lutor and Paula Von Gunther - known as the Savanti - left their homeworld and resettled on a terraformed Mars. The three leaders then planned as they embarked on the building of a great city in which Kent and Lutor created Metropolis; while Paula quarreled on her belief that Metropolis was not the answer and instead created her own city - a flying city known as "Heaven" - where she used her knowledge of genetics and the genes of the Earth animals she saved, to create her own race of beast-like Amazons.

While below, the original founders of Metropolis broken their friendship over in love with the same woman, Marta. When she chose Jon over Lutor, the scientist killed her, then used advanced hypnosis to turn Jon into his mind-slave. Thereafter, Lutor ruled Metropolis under an oppressed reign through his puppet. During this repressive age, the Amazons of Heaven were suffering from genetic fragmentation and violently causing a strife on the flying city. In response, Paula sent her perfect Amazon daughter Diana to Metropolis below in need of new gene stock. But she was captured and had her memories erased by Lutor. With Diana lost, Heaven fell under the rule of Cheetah who killed Paula. Metropolis was later freed from Lutor's rule in which Clarc Kent-son, the Super-man, overthrow and killed the mad scientist. In the aftermath Clarc and his wife Lois ruled the city under an enlighten rule.

Under the Super-man and his wife's reign, the Nosferatu emerged and rule the criminal and dark realm of Metropolis. An alteration between Super-Man and the Nosferatu happened between them in which their battle brought them into the underworld where they founded ancient, sentient machines who once built Metropolis and still sustain it and watch over humanity. Both Super-Man and the Nosferatu departed on amicable terms in which they ruled their respective domains.

In Heaven, the Amazons were still flawed from their genetic makeup in which Cheetah traveled to Metropolis to find Diana as her genes can saved her people. There she struck a deal with Dr. Psykho - who possessed Diana - in which he will give her Diana if she kills the Super-man. Cheetah brought her Amazon army to the city against the Super-Man, who is then assisted by the Nosferatu and the inmates from the Asylum. Ultimately, the battle was intervened by a freed Diana defeated Cheetah in a duel. In the aftermath peace is restored to Metropolis and the three "worlds", Heaven and the underworld, are reunited.
