    HISTORY: Pre-Crisis: On Earth-3, a parallel world vibrating on a slightly different plane than the world we know, history had chosen a strange, opposing path. There, it was the American Christopher Columbus who discovered Europe; colonial England that won her freedom from the United States during the Revolutionary War; and actor Abraham Lincoln who shot President John Wilkes Booth. On this strange world of contrary reality, the only super-powered beings are not heroes, but rather five super-villains who had banded together as the Crime Syndicate of America. The Crime Syndicate perished during the Crisis.
    Post-Crisis: The CSA's Earth-2, evil always triumph.
