History
Origin
The Extremists
On the other-dimensional world of Angor, an ambitious group of five human terrorists attempted to steal an experimental megabomb. When the bomb detonated accidentally, these men did not die. (Justice League Quarterly v1 #3)
The Extremists seized control of the planet's nuclear arsenal. Their governments did not believe their threats to use the bombs. The Extremists' threat was serious enough for three of the metahuman heroes, the Assemblers, to seek help on Earth. This journey was unproductive; the Assemblers clashed with the Justice League and returned home. They found their world had since been completely decimated. (Justice League Europe v1 #17) The Extremists were believed to have died from the nuclear holocaust they themselves had engineered. However, Dreamslayer was the only survivor of his group and the devastation had sent him into another dimension. He remained there for five years before accruing the power necessary to return to Angor. Another survivor of Angor, legendary theme park creator Mitch Wacky, survived inside a suspended animation chamber. Wacky had contracted influenza, for which his world had no cure. Before retiring to the chamber, he programmed his theme park, Wackyworld, to monitor events and continue on in his absence. He did his job too well, though. Indeed, his robot servants continued to rebuild Angor after the nuclear holocaust. In their zeal, they also rebuilt the Justifiers and Extremists, whom they programmed to think independently. Soon, these androids shared the same fate as their human predecessors. They destroyed each other, and the android Extremists again ruled the planet. (Justice League Europe v1 #19)
