History
Venus is a terrestrial planet, and is the second closest orbiting body to the sun in the Sol system. Venus is covered with an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of carbon dioxide, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light. Due to its size and mass, Venus is often regarded as Earth's sister planet.
- Venus is the home world of the Venusian worm, Mister Mind.
- In Earth-S continuity, Doctor Sivana once established a base of operations on Venus and crowned his daughter, Beautia, the Empress of Venus.
- In Earth-One continuity, Kandorian hero Van-Zee took his wife Sylvia DeWitt on a honeymoon vacation to Venus.[citation needed]
- In Pre-Zero Hour 30th Century continuity, Cosmic King is an exiled native of Venus.[citation needed]
Notes
- The planet Venus is named for the Roman Goddess of Love. The Greek equivilant to Venus is the Goddess Aphrodite.
