Angor is an example of a 'terra obscura' ... a parallel Earth in a single dimension and galaxy; in this case, Angor is a terra obscura for Earth-1 although it bears striking resemblances to Earth-616. As often happens, information passes between terra obscurae, and as a result, some of the heroes of Angor appear in comic books on Earth-1.

I have incorporated (sometimes awkwardly) characters from Earth-7 and Earth-8, as seen in Multiversity.

Aliens from the planet Can-Nam-Loo sends robots to two worlds - Angor and Earth - to plunder their natural resources. [Justice League of America Vol. 1 #87]

A criminal gang are intent on stealing a nuclear device from the Timely Research Facility. During their reconnaissance mission, the device was accidentally detonated by a time-travelling Mitch Wacky and Silver Sorceress, with the men standing on Ground Zero. As so many times before on Angor, the result was not death, but mutation, their minds were damaged and their bodies endowed with powers on an extremely destructive level. Their leader's body grew so huge and disproportionate that only a specially designed techno-armor could contain it. He became the dreaded Lord Havoc. Erik Christos became the incredibly powerful master of magnetism, Doctor Diehard (it was he who took control of the nukes). A third, growing hideous tentacles from his head, called himself Gorgon, and a fourth became a savage, blood sensing animal with blades attached to his forearm and took the name Tracer. The last member of the group did not mutate. Instead, he was thrust into another dimension. When he returned to Angor, he was known as the Dreamslayer, a being of enormous psychic power with a possibly demonic origin. The Extremists were soon joined by the costumed villain known as Carny. [Justice League Quarterly #3]

These five beings became a greater threat than Angor had ever seen before. Apparently stopping at nothing, the Extremists recruited the rest of the world's super-villains and created an army of super-powered criminals. The heroes of the world stood powerless as the villains took control of the planet's nuclear arsenals, taking the entire world of Angor hostage and demanding that the world's leaders gave up their power in favor to the dictatorship of the Extremists. [Justice League Europe #16]

Blue Jay's technical skills uncover the fact that the cause of the explosion which mutated the Extremists was located on Earth. Mistakingly believing the Can-Nam-Loo robots (which the Assemblers soon defeated) to be Earth super-villains, Wandjina, Silver Sorceress, Jack B. Quick, and Blue Jay travel to Earth's space sector to enlist the assistance of EarthÕs heroes the Justice League of America to defeat the Extremists. Arriving first at Can-Nam-Loo en route, the heroes of each world mistakenly assume the others were the senders of the threats and promptly indulge in the ubiquitous hero versus hero battle. Peace eventually breaks out when Zatanna heals the injured Blue Jay. [Justice League of America Vol. 1 #87, Justice League Europe #16]

Upon their return, they were met with a horrible sight. Too late to help anyone, they realized that the planet's leaders had refused to give in to the Extremists, who then had made truth of their threats. Angor was completely ravaged by nuclear weapons. The cities lay in ruins. Most of the inhabitants were dead, including all their friends and seemingly the villains as well. As a last effort, the heroes attempted to be of some assistance to the few survivors, who were nonetheless mortally injured by radiation and continued to die one by one. Among the casualties was Harry Christos, whose hyperfast metabolism contracted cancer after exposing himself to the nuclear areas. [Justice League #2, Justice League Europe #16]

When there was no one left to help, the three remaining Assemblers, now calling themselves the Retaliators - Wandjina, Silver Sorceress, and Blue Jay - committed themselves to a new goal: They would prevent a disaster of this magnitude from ever happening, ever again, anywhere in the universe. From now on, the powerful trio travelled worlds and dimensions, visiting several planets and destroying their arsenals of mass-destructive weapons, no matter whether the planets' inhabitants liked it or not.
