Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and one of the four terrestrial planets of the Solar System. Located in the Milky Way Galaxy, Mars is the home planet of the Martians.
History[]
Mars was once the home of several green-skinned, telepathic, shapeshifting beings known as Martians, with one such being traveling to Earth and posing under the guise of Secretary of Defense Calvin Swanwick.[1]
By 1999, it was commonly claimed that humanity had better maps of Mars than it did of Earth's ocean floor.[2]
When Kal-El activated the Kryptonian scout ship in the Arctic and took off, there were two visible screens, one of them seemingly a live feed, or picture of, the Martian surface.[3]
In 2021 a school in Evergreen had a diagram of the Solar system, including Mars.[4]
