The Planet Venus[1]
Venus was the second-closest planet to the Sun and closest planet to Earth.
After the Moon, it was the brightest object seen from the sky at night on Earth. It was often called the Morning Star or the Evening Star.
The planet was named after Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty.
History[]
Earth 1956[]
The planet Venus had both land[2] and sea[3] at its' surface. It was much warmer and wetter than Earth, and there was much more vegetation.[4] It was a homeworld to a variety of life forms. The Pytho-Rexians for example, were a race of religious fanatics that lived in caves. One other species, the Fearians, made an alliance with the Legion of Doom so that they could make the atmosphere of Earth similar to the way Venus was, and then they could relocate there, colonizing the planet.
Not long after that, later in the same year in fact, the Brain Creatures invaded the sol system, and although life on Earth survived, Venus wasn't so lucky, as all life on the planet was wiped out.[5] Only some of Venus' plantlife and termites seemed to survive.[6]
