History
Sliding Albion was an alternate version of the Earth that existed in a parallel world in the Multiverse.
In such they started late colonial wars against poor countries like Africa or China. As military leaders the Blues were not the ones to hesitate, and they immediately used bacteriological and nuclear warfare. After a century or so of such wars, Sliding Earth became so poisonous that life was barely possible. The new territories, thus conquered, saw their population so weakened that the surviving females were not able to stand a Blue crossbreed pregnancy. The Italian Blue were facing a serious birth rate problem. This problem may have existed in Sliding Albion too, but as the country was still ruled by the human Windsor bloodline, it was less critical. Furthermore, Sliding Albion's colonies haven't been poisoned, in which the Blue/Human birth rate was certainly not so critically low. In further expanding the number of Blues, the Blue's leader Regis led an invasion of China in 1856 resulting in having all the country's males killed and the women being used for breeding.

During the early 20th century, the power of the hybrids became stagnate, forcing the Blue to search and invade other parallel universes by breaching their universe's barriers and travel through the Bleed. Eventually Sliding Albion made contact with the Wildstorm Universe. This led to only the British government, and partially the American government, in having a secret peaceful foreign relationship between themselves and Sliding Albion. However, the relationship eroded in 1953 and the Sliding Albion reality entered its first World War with a parallel world, and bacterium weapons were unleashed on their London. In a final act of contempt and spite, Sliding Albion vented the bacterial fallout over Britain in a failed attempt to save themselves. However, this agent changed while traversing The Bleed and caused the first surge of superhuman powers in Britain. (The Authority v1 #6)
