Earth-3070 is a universe made by Jacky 50A, in a way similar to Earth-RSR. However, the universe is based on Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, but with Captain America as a replacement for Batman, although Batman does exist in this universe. This is the first work made by Jacky 50A to use the element of "time-skipping" (skipping certain moments in the universe's past, and jumps to the main story). Like in the inspiration for this universe, the world is set in a time when the "Golden Age of Heroes" ended, and most heroes end up in various fates. Some great heroes in this world died, while others that survive, became either government pawns or agents, as most of them have been regulated by various authorities. This universe also borrows several elements from Old Man Logan and Civil War.

The Age of Heroes
"I used to remember how heroes were supposed to be. I remember, back in the "old days", we heroes protect the society without any boundaries. No matter what are we, or who are we, we can be heroes. From Superman, to my predecessor, Steve Rogers, we all can be heroes. But then, I observed things. Time passes on, and things began to change. Heroes aren't supposed to be what they are. Just... things change. We fought in wars before, together. Defending Earth from various threats. But then, after years, governments, all over the world, began to "regulate" us, the superhumans. We don't know what to do. And you know what? After a long time, this happened. The world you currently see happened. Heroes are... no longer heroes, and in my eyes, they someday, might be, villains. It's like, they no longer recognize what true justice was supposed to be."

- Captain America (Clone) As of this universe's nature of time-skipping, not much was known about the "heroic past" of this universe, before the main story's setting emerged. It was identified by the Captain America of the story (who was the clone of the real Steven Rogers of this universe) that once, the world's heroes were generally praised by the civilian population, as they protect innocents and save people with "true justice". In this world, heroes from Marvel, DC, and some other franchises co-existed together (although it's not detailed on which franchise they came from). Captain America (Clone) describes that there were "several major events" that involved global destruction. But with the heroes' efforts, they were repelled off frequently.

Captain America described that the "Age of Heroes" began to emerge in the year of 2000, while the "older heroes" predated them during the 40s, when WWII still raged on.

50 Years Later
"You know, kid. Back in my day... I know, Mr. Logan. I know about the past and how it should be. Oh, you want to know about now? Believe me, kid. In my honest opinion, I don't like things the government do to us, heroes. And they did this at the same time when we began to... "fall". Villains arise? Maybe. Heroes retire? You're looking at a retired hero now, son. And what about the immortal ones? Like that Superman guy? Or good ol' Thor? Oh wait. Thor died. Superman still existed. You just won't like him, along with Stark. Now, police still exists. But then, internationally, and globally, a company named "ADVENT" becomes the main source of... "heavy" law enforcements. They're not mercenaries, but they can be employed like National Troops if needed. "Luckily", currently, ADVENT only works in the US."

- Captain America and Wolverine 50 years after the "Age of Heroes", in the year of 2050, the world surprisingly isn't as what is imagined in several fictional literature works about the future. It's a dystopian future, and the technology only improved significantly (like in The Dark Knight Returns). The heroes on the other hand, as mentioned previously, have drastically changed. Villains and crime levels are rising, and it was noted by Wolverine that they're "harder to control" now as the heroes were "a lot more busier than the old days". Plus, a new military corporation named "ADVENT" now became the top-notch in international security. However, due to undisclosed reasons, ADVENT now only works at, and for the US Government.

In the dystopian world, several heroes and villains died. Some examples of the dead characters are: There were other heroes and villains who also died, and being succeeded by a certain person. However, Wolverine stated that most of them that were not immortal in terms of age, died of age, while others may be killed by other villains, as time passes on, and most heroes weren't at their prime.
 * The real Steve Rogers Captain America died after being assassinated by Red Skull, who in turn, was also assassinated by the new Deadshot (Kevin Douglas Hawthorne). The mantle of Captain America is later passed down to a clone of him, who's the story's main protagonist. While so,Red Skull has no successors.
 * Thor was said to die because Loki finally found a way to kill him using a "powerful artifact", and with the help of Cul Borson. WIth this, Beta Ray Bill took Thor's place as "Midgard's Defender".
 * Wonder Woman died in the early days of the "dystopian future", being somehow slain by her sister, Circe using what seemingly is the same artifact Loki used to kill Thor.
 * Deadshot died in a mission with the Suicide Squad, after being confirmed to be "mauled by an unknown superhuman". He was succeeded by an elite military-man and former mercenary named Kevin Douglas Hawthorne, who is younger than him.
 * The original Bane was confirmed to die in a fight against Batman. Bane was revealed to have a case of cancer due to his continuous consumption of the Venom Drug, as well as small radiation exposure. It was stated that his "dying state" was already discovered in the fight by Batman when he saw him. When Batman cuts off Bane's Venom supply tubes, Bane dropped dead. However, it seemed that Bane's Venom that time, that he used, was a different kind of Venom that was "more dangerous". Bane was succeeded by an unnamed man with a shrouded past, who wore a blue variant of his costume.
 * Batman was said to die due to his age, and he exerted himself physically too much for his old age. At one point, Batman was said to have been inflicted with HIV/AIDS in one of his fights with a villain, and it contributed to his death as well.
