Universe-731

Universe-731 is one of the many realities in the Multiverse. It is one of the two main FJM universes, which was created on January 17, 2016, when the first plans for the Team Y cartoon were starting to be developed. It is featured in two animated series, which together make the FJM Animated Universe series.

History
Just like with Universe-777, the history of this world is similar to the one of our one. Similar events, such as the First and Second World Wars took place here. However, it is a bit different from the aforementioned universe, as despite the many parallels, the origins of the superheroes have some differences and their later fates are completely not alike the books.

The Big Bang
At the beginning there was nothing else than huge, pervasive and dark emptiness. Then, the light came and a big explosion gave beginning to a new universe, as well as the infinite amount of others, which looked the same, but the events taking place there went off differently.

With time, the stars began to form and eventually planets were created, giving birth to the Earth.

Ancient history
At one point, the Earth saw the appearance of the first humans, who eventually evolved into homo sapiens. Certain civilizations were more advanced than the others, also practising magic and being aware of the existence of extraterrestials.

Since the beginning of humanity, alongside the regular humans, there was a second species, that looked and acted exactly the same, but it was gifted with the extraordinary superpowers. They are called the Superhumans. The first generation of Superhumans existed already in the ancient times. They were the real versions of the Gods known from certain mythologies, who existed for real. However, they weren't any deities and were only given that name being seen as such by the contemporary humans, for which it was the only explanation of such incredible powers' existence. With time, their numbers started to decrease and the world forgot about them. Although singular new members of the species appeared once a decade or century, their existence was kept a secret by the contemporary rulers.

Early modern period
The next increase in the Superhuman activity happened in the 19th century. One of the first heroes of that period was The Guardian. Just like in the Universe-777, due to a fury attack and causing the Great Chicago Fire, Alejandro Vernandez, known later as Fire-Man, was also revealed to be one. The next hero, who appeared in 1886, was Nature-Man. Ultimately, the mentioned three started working together, fighting the criminality in their city, El Paso. Nature-Man and Fire-Man were also treated with a spell slowing down the aging process by The Guardian.

20th century
After the death of The Guardian in World War 1, Nature-Man and Fire-Man stopped being active, up until the second worldwide conflict, when another superhero appeared - Hyper Man, with whom the two united on a few occasions. Although Fire-Man stepped to the evil side and joined the villainous Mr. Toxic, the other two managed to defeat them. However, after his friend betraying him, Nature-Man went to the self-given exile, losing faith in humanity, who besides being horrible, did a huge damage to nature.

Inspired by the acts of Hyper Man, Jarowit Crucian, who was a member of Squadron 404, also started his own activity. He became a symbol for the Poles fighting in the war, also being the light of hope in the dark times - the Polish Patriot. He was also a Superhuman with the power of telekinesis. Unknowingly, there were other Superhumans among his friends from the Squadron, including his cousin Hubert Kingfisher and the time travellers - Phil Turner and Michael Foot, who suffered to amnesia due to the work of their enemy. When the two regained their memories and told the new friends about their origins and a paradox caused by General John, they decided to create a team, which would stand on the guard of time and space, stop John, as well as other dangers. Thus, Team Y was created, by the two time travellers, alongside Jarowit, Hubert who took the mantle of The Living Ice, Nature-Man and their good friend without powers - Luke Archer taking The Hunter nickname. Together they stopped General John and possibly also Mr. Time and handed them over to the Time Police.

Despite obviating the paradox, some things couldn't be reversed, as they were fixed points in time (the creation of Team Y) or had a meaningful impact for the future. Among the second group was the possesion of futuristic weaponry and technology by the soviet general Sergei Rybakov, who received it from General John.

21st century
The first modern superhero was none other than Phil Turner, who took the name Acrobat. At the beginning of his career he had countless brawls with three villains - One-Armed Man, Wolf-Man and General John. However, he had some allies by his side, such as his good friend Steve, or One-Armed Man and John's ex-friend and co-worker Gregory Enius. Eventually, the first villain became good again and sacrificed his life in defence of Szczecin. After his death, Enius became the owner and CEO of The Unity and moved to Cracow, occasionally visiting Philip.

A few months after the villains' defeat, Turner experienced an unusual meeting, when he met his great grandson Michael Foot, a future hero known as Flare, who went back in time to ask his ancestor for help in discovering the secrets of his powers. However, Turner himself didn't know much about them, but ultimately came up with the idea of going back even further and asking the legendary World War 2 hero Jarowit Crucian, Polish Patriot. Due to an interference of General John, the heroes accidentally went back a few years too early and took John with them, which led to him erasing their memories with his special cannon. Unaware of their background, they spend a few years fighting in the war, but after regaining the lost memories and discovering that their friends from Squadron 404 are also Superhumans, they took the goal of stopping John and fixing time, at the same time creating a group called Team Y. After realizing the mission, Acrobat returned to the present and with time, Team Y became known also in this period.

After the reveal of the team in the present, many people followed their example and decided to fight criminals themselves, even if they didn't have any powers. Thus, heroes like Archeress, Super Samurai or Elastico appeared, although the latter actually had superpowers. Despite defeating John and Time, the team had many fights with other enemies. For example, they once fought The Wizard, who temporarily took control of all the Team members outside of Nature-Man. At another time a battle of Nature-Man and The Living Ice with Mr. Toxic and Fire-Man took place.

More than once, General John was able to escape the Time-Prison and have a few fights with the group. During one of his times being free John established a long-term cooperation with Italian gangsters and traded technoliogically advanced weapons with them. On 18 May 2016, The Acrobat had a task of stopping another trade by himself. Despite numerous obstacles, he was able to get to John, thus meeting The Archeress and Super Samurai, who came with the same goal as him. Together they stopped the cyborg and Acrobat handed him over to the Time Police. However, John was put in the same cell as his old collaborator, Mr. Time. Throughout the next two months, the latter offered making up a plan of escape, yet this time John decided to give it a rest, until the day of Team Y first anniversary, when Gideon finally convinced him and the two decided to work together. Additionally, John came up with a plan, which considered allying with other villains. That way, after a successful escape, the two villains recruited other criminals, such as The Wizard, Mr. Toxic and Fire-Man. Together, they formed the Legion of Chaos.

On the same day, there was a party in Phil Turner's house, during which the organizer proposed expanding their team with new members, precisely the same heroes he met two months prior. Ultimately Polish Patriot made a decision about Archeress and when the team was about to continue celebrating, they were interrupted by a message from the Time Police about John and Time's escape. That's why they went to Trzebież, where Legion of Chaos extended by one new member - Sergei Rybakov taken from the past - came to free next potential allies from the prison on Chełminek Island. Although the heroes were focused on the fight with Transofrming Robots, soon Acrobat, Polish Patriot and Living Ice broke into prison, but were surrounded by the Legion, with a slight advantage. In the last moment, the rest of the team with Flare on the front came, alongside Archeress and Super Samurai who have just arrived.

To be added

22nd century
After a massive wave of Superhuman appearances in the 21st century, their strength started decreasing once again, though not to a big extent yet, considering that their powers moved from generation to generation. One of them was Michael Foot, who inherited the power after his great grandfather. He unlocked it when his parents were killed in a terrorist attack. Thanks to the fact he possessed the power of superspeed, he was able to take in the electric attack and swallow it, unlocking an additional power - electrokinesis. Soon he decided to use his abilities to do good and became a superhero called Flare. At one point of his life he built a portal to time travel and a Time-Watch as an alternative way of travelling. All in attempt to go back to the previous century and meet his great grandfather, Phil Turner, to learn more about superpowers from him. Both of them went back even further to get the knowledge from the Polish Patriot, but due to General John's interference, they went too early and lost their memory, but after regaining it, together with friends from the past, they created Team Y.

After returning to his times, Flare was there rarely, most frequently to spend time with his new friends in Acrobat's times. He still cared about his city, Bździszewo, though and despite fighting much bigger dangers, he occasionally fought some smaller-scale criminals, such as Mr. Puppet.
