The Wellsians, or Martians were a species of sapient, telepathic, vampire-like octopi who existed in several universes. In some, they were a fictional creation and the subject of War of the Worlds, whereas in others they were quite real.

In one dimension, an invasion of Earth by the Martians, using Tripods, was depicted in a movie called War of the Worlds which was played in 1938 at the Benton Cinema in Chicago, where a version of Jenny Everywhere saw part of it while in the middle of an adventure. (COMIC: Miss Adventure)

One universe's very real version of these Martians had chalk-white skin, red eyes, and wide, toothy mouths. They were known as the Wellsians due to their own name for Mars being Wellsia. Wellsia was a “dying” world, facing droughts and other disasters. The Wellsians grew jealous of the lush, watery neighbouring planet Earth, and decided to invade it. After discarding multiple other, even more ridiculous ideas, the Martian Empire Science Department settled on the idea of shooting the Wellsian colonists at the Earth using a Really Bloody Big Cannon.
There, finding that the Earth's gravity prevented them from moving about on their own, they hastily constructed Tripod Walking-Machines, “with built-in Heat Rays, of course”, and began wreaking havoc. “Just as they were finishing up the destruction of England”, they began to feel hungry, and, having been unable to bring their “blood-cattle” from home, began to drain humans for blood. This proved a mistake, as the Wellsians had failed to anticipate that human blood was contaminated with a variety of pathogens; all diseases were long-extinct on their own planet. Most of the army was wiped out, and the last survivors collected in one Tripod which they modified into a space-ship, flying to the nearest planet, Venus. There, they crashed, to be found by the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids many years later. At some point, a video Cupid Fact File detailing the invasion was recorded in the Cupid Archives.

The small number of surviving Wellsians on Venus were later encountered by Pythagoras-858 in a CCCC base called Morningstar 1. Despite Pythe trying to stop them, they escaped, acquiring dimensional travel. They first ended up at the Interdimensional Tavern, and, from there, at the Interdimensional Black Market. Their leader, the Strategist Earl Radluhac ag-Wampyr, sent the Viscount Forga sog-Forgos to Hilbert's to acquire a new planet, and, after that mission's success, the Wellsians settled on the planet Thrash, which they renamed “New Wellsia”. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel) The Wellsians were subsequently involved in the quest for the Frost King's treasure.
By December 2020, the Wellsians were well on their way to taking control of New Wellsia, having founded a New Wellsian Empire. However, there was still only five of them, not counting the Emperor Karshassinwellshkhan III, who the surviving five speculated speculated might still be alive on the original Wellsian homeworld, but was no longer recognised as having authority over them, with Radluhac preparing to crown himself the new Emperor. The Wellsians enslaved and oppressed the Goblins, their new planet's actual native species. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)
The Wellsians were among the groups who bid for the venom of the Wyrm of Loki when the Prime Universe's Sigyn decided to auction it off. Forga sog-Forgos was the one sent to Loki's cavern to actually negotiate, being magically summoned there by Sigyn along with many other biddgers. Like the other bidders, Forga dissipated like smoke, sent back to his dimension, after Tero Trollgarsson rendered the auction moot by drinking all the venom, leading Sigyn to interrupt the spell.
