Earth-528491

Earth-528491 is a reality featuring many characters from both Marvel and DC comics, set in the year 2035. Many of the heroes, primarily the DC ones, had acted as heroes in the past, what we know today as the present, and in 2052 dozens of new heroes have surfaced including Spider-Man, who is the new protege of the old hero, Batman.

Organizations such as S.H.I.E.L.D. and Cadmus are still very much active, another organization also exists within the shadows known simply as Providence. Providence specializes in two areas: Inception and Apocalypse Prevention. Providence has many highly trained agents capable of going into the subconscious of their targets and affecting the outcome of their own missions, as well as having a Clairvoyant within their ranks who can see the many apocalyptic futures of their world and how to prevent them. Providence operates in secret and even S.H.I.E.L.D. does not know of their existence.

Although seeming out of place, other characters exist within this reality as well, including Mystery, Incorporated. However, within this world, their dog, Scooby, is a mutant dog capable of talking and they work to protect the world from the maniacs in costume that they come up against.

Heroes that operate in outer space, such as the Guardians of the Galaxy, also know of inter-galactic wars involving characters such as the Jedi and the Dark Side. Although Star-Lord is not a trained Jedi, he does carry a light saber, illegally.

Lastly, and depending how it is viewed, least importantly, the five main characters from How I Met Your Mother exist in this reality as well. However, their roles are very different than in the show. Barney Stinson is an international S.H.I.E.L.D. diplomat. Ted Mosby is an architect working for Alchemax. Marshall Eriksen is an accomplished lawyer working at the same law firm as Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil, and is one of his few trusted allies. Eriksen's wife, Lily Aldrin, is an art collector for Wilson Fisk, unbeknownst of his activities as the Kingpin. Lastly, Robin Scherbatsky takes the place of Maria Hill in this reality as Nick Fury's right hand, as Maria Hill does not exist. How I Met Your Mother's title character, Tracy McConnell, does not exist in this world, as her actress, Cristin Milioti, portrays Peter Parker's mother, Anna Watson-Parker.

NOTE: Various aspects of this reality are heavily inspired by or directly taken from one of Artemis Thorson's previous projects, Earth-5029.
