 [[97th Cosmos|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#In the 97th Cosmos|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]].

([[VIDEO]]: ''[[The Wellsians (video story)|The Wellsians]]'')]]There, finding that the Earth's gravity prevented them from moving about on their own, they hastily constructed [[Tripod|Tripod Walking-Machines]], “with built-in [[Heat Ray]]s, 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 [[Martian cattle|“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#In the 97th Cosmos|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]]. ([[VIDEO]]: ''[[The Wellsians (video story)|The Wellsians]]'')

 The small number of surviving Wellsians on Venus were later encountered by [[Pythagoras-858]] in a [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids|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 (short story)|The Grand Multiverse Hotel]]'') The Wellsians were subsequently involved in the quest for [[the Frost King#Member of the Council|the Frost King]]'s treasure.
