In the Victorian era, it was home to a man who invented a time machine. After his initial trip, his friends refused to believe him, prompting him to leave again. However, he fell through a dimensional warp in the Time Vortex, exiting the 97th Cosmos and crash-landing at the door of the Interdimensional Tavern in 2019, where he met Bibliophile-962.

Its version of Mars was inhabited by a species of Martians who referred to it as “Wellsia”, hence being known as Wellsians. At some point, the Wellsians invaded the Earth, but were all but wiped out by an epidemic of the common cold, which was deadly to them and which they had contracted from trying to feed on humans' blood. A single ship's worth of Wellsians fled to Venus, where they were later discovered by the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, who also had a Cupid Fact File about the invasion in their Archive.
