Biography
Origin
Atlee was an inhabitant of the underground based civilization known as Strata that had evolved long before humanity. Her people were traced to the Astronaut God who was the lone survivor of a race that had predated time and had long ago died. The titanic being's corpse slowly drifted through the universe with entire civilizations having grown and died over its immense body. This gigantic form came to Earth during the time of the Dinosaurs where it impacted the surface with its mass causing it to sink below the surface of the world. The Astronaut Gods body was encased in a protective suit which preserved its DNA whilst on-board computers kept a log of its final centuries of life. Over time, a new race began to form from inside the space gods corpse leading to the emergence of the diverse Stratan civilization. (Terra v1 #4) Their people remained hidden deep underground but were aware of the existence of the surface and of humanity but upon seeing mankind's destructive nature they decided to keep their existence a secret. This was because they feared the reaction of humans if they were presented with the truth of a hidden civilization underground. Despite that, they kept a watch of humanity since its first emergence on the planet as despite their different origins they had a similar genetics to mankind. It was Strata's Council of Elders that decided to send forth one of their own champions to steer events to ensure that their underground civilization was kept safe as well. Thus, they selected Atlee for this role and decided to model her appearance on that of the deceased Terra of Markovia. She was then dispatched to the surface where she began to operate as a superhero and given the name Terra based on her powers as well as her similarity to the previous holder of that identity.
