History
The past history of the goddess Venus of Earth-9904 mirrors that of her Earth-616 counterpart until the 1950's. Much like her Earth-616 counterpart, she would come down from Olympus to spread the virtues of love across the world. When FBI Agent Jimmy Woo would seek out super-humans to help him take down international terrorist Yellow Claw, he would contact Venus and ask her to join the group. She would meet with Woo as he was recovering the deactivated body of the Human Robot and agree to join Woo's group. Along side M-11, Marvel Boy, 3-D Man, and Gorilla-Man, she would form this realities Avengers.
They would soon be called to task to rescue Jimmy Woo and President Dwight Eisenhower who were captured by Yellow Claw and his cohorts. During the battle Venus would be frozen in a block of ice by Cold Warrior but break free under her own strength. Distracted by watching her friends battle their foes she would almost be struck down by Electro but is saved by Marvel Boy. This impromptu rescue would leave the two to wonder if they were falling in love, or if Marvel Boy is just another victim of Venus' loving aura. Although the heroes would defeat Yellow Claw's minions, Yellow Claw himself would escape. Shortly thereafter, the President would request that the Avengers disband to avoid public hysteria.[1]
However, the Avengers would either refuse to disband or reunite and be part of a security detail protecting Vice-President Richard Nixon during a public appearance at a California Fourth of July celebration. Venus would hide in plain sight by posing as part of a carnival freak-show. Unknown to the Avengers, Nixon was secretly replaced with a Skrull who was attempting to destroy Americas space program. Venus and her comrades would clash with Wasp and Captain Marvel, two Avengers from Earth-616 who had traveled to their reality to stop Immortus from causing a chronal anomaly in this reality. Venus and her friends would find out too late and fail to stop Immortus from slaying the Skrull-Nixon and erasing their reality with the Forever Crystal to prevent humanity on this world from developing space travel beyond Earth's solar system. Venus and her friends were eliminated from existence as a result.[2]
