Reality Z-25 31-H was one of the realities monitored by the Bureau of Singularity. (COMIC: Singularity War) It was also known as the Beholderverse. (COMIC: Whatever Happened to Jenny Everywhere?!)

Its Earth was home to a variety of superheroes such as the Odds, supervillains such as Doctor Brain, and various supernatural creatures. There also existed several sentient alien species, including the Vanilla Puddings of Riegel 6. (COMIC: Journey Into Misery) Demons, Hell and the Devil also existed, (COMIC: Hell Is Too Good For Him, Journey Out Of Misery) with universities openly offering courses in witchcraft. (COMIC: Blast From The Past) The Nexus Stone, an artefact held by Nexus Girl, was said to “harness a primal magic power from the universe itself”. (PROSE: Nexus Girl Bio)

Behind the scenes

Reality Z-25 31-H, whose name was only used fugitively in Singularity War, has also been referred to behind the scenes by Paul Hoppe as “the Beholderverse”. It has, over the years, turned into something of a webcomic shared universe, being the setting not only of Hoppe's works in The Cosmic Beholder, but also of Jay Epps's Kaza's Mate, Gwenna and of James Bridger's Kate Five and Section P.

The Kaza's Mate, Gwenna story Nula! Naked and Alone! contained what was termed in the author's notes as a continuity reference to the earlier webcomic Four More Years!!!. However, as it occurred within a fictitious story told by one of the characters, it is not clear that Four More Years!!! should actually be considered part of Reality Z-25 31-H.

In the author's notes for PROSE: Truth in Labeling, Scott Sanford noted that the story's superhero setting “might not be far from Reality Z-25 31-H or some Marvelous settings”.
