Mars, also known as Barsoom and Wellsia, was, in some universes, the fourth planet from the sun in the Solar System. (COMIC: On Earth)
In one universe, it was inhabited by humanoid beings outwardly identical to humans, known simply as Martians. (COMIC: Magician From Mars…) It had two moons, Phobos and Deimos, whose names respectively meant “Flight” and “Fear”. (COMIC: On Earth) At some point in the future of the 20th century, there was regular contact between Earth and Mars. (COMIC: Magician From Mars…)
In other universes, Mars was inhabited by octopus-like beings who made war on humanity using Tripods. (COMIC: Miss Adventure, PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel) In the 97th Cosmos, these Martians referred to their own planet as Wellsia, hence being known themselves as Wellsians. It was a “dying red rock”, affected by planet-wide droughts (VIDEO: The Wellsians) as a result of the Wellsians draining the ozone layer to consume the ozone itself, causing cosmic rays to penetrate the lower atmopshere and cause the liquid in the canals to evaporate. (PROSE: The Resurrection of the Wellsians) The Wellsians ultimately decided to evacuate it, hence their invasion of Earth. (VIDEO: The Wellsians)
The month before her adventures in Eccord, one universe's Jenny visited another universe's Mars, where “genetically engineered hyper-something” (either the yeast or the grain) allowed the creation of a special Martian bread which Jenny's roommate Kim agreed “smelled amazing”. She also brought home some currency from that world, appearing as “a handful of bills in shocking pastel colors”. This version of Mars had “crystal pillars by the edge of an empty sea”. Later, both Jenny and Kim mused about the possibility of locating a notorious fictional version of Mars called Barsoom, which was home to a location called Helium and people known as Therns.

(PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Cotillion Cavern) A “Space marauder” gave a friend of Jenny Everywhere's a pair of ruby chopsticks during “her first visit to Mars”. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Doorbell?)
One of the adventures which side-tracked the Jenny Everywhere of the 925th Universe from her mission to bring down Kablamazon was “the time she stole the Holy Dog Bowl from the Werewolf Priests of Mars” — which, given Jenny's status as a shifter, may not necessarily have been on the Mars the 925th Universe itself.
