History

Origin

Despite sharing the name, this world had a much different history compared to the regular Earth with events taking place in reverse. Unlike the main Earth, Earth-3 saw Christoper Columbus as an American who discovered Europe with it coming under their rule. Colonial England later won her freedom from the United States in the Revolutionary War of 1776. Another notable event was an actor named Abe Lincoln who was responsible for shooting President John Wilkes Booth. (Justice League of America v1 #29)

As such, the chain of events saw the emergence of supervillains rather than superheroes on this world. Almost every super-being was thus a criminal who banded together to form the Crime Syndicate of America. (Justice League of America v1 #29)

Anti-Matter Universe

On Earth-3, a doomsday weapon created by Alexander Luthor eventually came to be triggered with this being a matter bomb that exploded and spread a cancerous creeping energy that sought to erase all life on the planet. A quarter of the population of the world was lost to the weapon until the Crime Syndicate came upon the idea of displacing it to a different Earth. They came to decide to send the energy to Earth-9 with the Syndicate arriving on that world and attacked its superheroes with some killed in the process. They then unleashed the dark matter energy which proceeded to all but destroy Earth-9 but despite this being the case the energy did not transfer away from Earth-3. Instead, the dark matter remained but its growth had slowed as a result and thus the team sought a new means of solving their problem. They decided to find a means of resurrecting Alexander Luthor, Junior and secretly operated on New Earth where they set their plans in motion. The supervillains kept a low profile so as to not alert the Justice League and came to hire the services of Doctor Impossible to build the resurrection machine. However, Power Ring came to learn that the Green Lantern of Earth-9 had come to Earth to warn the Justice League whilst Johnny Quick determined that she was at the Hall of Justice. The Syndicate then decided to openly attack the Justice League to prevent them from stopping their plans. (Justice League of America v2 #50)

Post-Flashpoint

Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events.

At some point, Earth-3 was restored by the Multiverse as part of its system to defend itself with all its inhabitants being restored to life. The Crime Syndicate remained in control of the planet where they kept their tyrannical rule of the populace. It was then that the Syndicate was called before the cosmic being Perpetua who had been released from her imprisonment behind the Source Wall. She sensed the populace of Earth-3 as aligning with her principles and decided not to destroy the planet. However, she decided to use its people as part of her army and transformed them into Apex Predators that were human/Martian hybrids that served her. The majority of the Crime Syndicate came to side with Perpetua in fear that the dark goddess would destroy them. (Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen v1 #1)

Overview

Society operated under the principal of the favour bank whereby a person who owed a favour had to complete it regardless of their circumstances. Failure to fulfil a favour was grounds for the other party to murder the person who failed to grant it. Even the Syndicate followed the favour system as failure to do so would lead to others refusing to adhere to it thus bringing chaos to the world. (JLA v1 #108)

Though powerful supervillains, they did not outright control their world as the governments that existed threatened nuclear retaliation. However, they did maintain strong control and eliminated anyone that challenged their control.
