THE ATTACKER’S UNIVERSE - A parallel dimension where, in
extremely simplistic terms, the good guys are bad guys and vice versa. There are
known evil counterparts to a number of the heroes in the Prime Universe, most
notably the evil version of the Protectors known as the Attackers whose greatest
foes are the Union of Peace, a good version of the Anachronist Society.
Interestingly, the counterparts are not necessarily exact duplicates, but more
like the energies that are used for good in the Prime Universe went to people
who were evil, not that the specific person is evil.
For example, Chris Talis is Sound Wave while his ‘counterpart’ Shatter is
Jason Talis, who would have been the older brother of Chris had he been born in
the Prime Universe. The unplanned pregnancy and miscarriage of Jason in the
Prime Universe led to the Talis’ waiting until they were older to have the
child who would become Sound Wave. In the Attacker’s Universe, they had Jason
and swore never to have another child, so Chris never existed there.
