History

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest planet within the solar system. It is two and a half times as massive as all of the other planets in our solar system combined.

Known Races

Jovians: The Jovians were a nomadic race that found themselves on the planet Jupiter and sustained themselves with the so-called "Pool of Madness". When rays from the pool began effecting the Earth in 1948, the United States government sent the Human Torch to destroy its source. This led to a conflict with the Jovians which ended with the apparent extinction of their race^[1].

Homo sapiens: By the 31st Century of Earth-691 (and other similar realities) the planet Jupiter became an Earth colony, home to a race of biologically engineered humans who were designed to withstand Jupiter's massive gravity and survive in it's atmosphere^[2]. The most well known Jovian human is Charlie-27 of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Other realities where humans living on Jupiter include Earth-669116^[3] and Earth-9812^[4].
