no desire to change the system; he merely wants to advance to a position of more power. The Machine's idealism might interfere with Zarren's personal goals. He has the Machine indicted as traitors, and they have no choice but to remain on Earth. Later, Zarren falls victim to his own schemes and must flee to Earth, where he sets himself up as the president of a small South American island, the Arriba Atoll. In "The Chimera Conspiracy", scripted by Mark Ellis and Darryl Banks, drawn by Banks, and published by Millennium Publications, it is revealed that Georwell is actually Earth in an alternate future, some 900 years hence. Rather than traveling from one dimension to another, the Justice Machine went sideways and backward in time, drawn to a temporal nexus point where the events which eventually create Georwell are in a state of flux. Characters The Justice Machine Challenger (Jaiime Conrad) - the leader, physically adept and a skilled strategist, effectively the Georwellian military version of Batman/Captain America.

Later, a Terran scientist from New Atlantis implants devices in her nervous system that allow her to exert more control over her powers. Titan (Jemin Osk) - mutant male, able to increase his height and mass to a maximum of 30 feet. Demon (Gabel Nevin) - highly trained (and egotistical) martial artist. Demon has an on-again, off-again addiction to the Georwellian drug Edge, which enhances a user's strength, speed, stamina, and ability to ignore pain but leaves the user virtually helpless when it wears off. Diviner (Tessei Molleng A-Conrad) - Challenger's (ex-) wife (but not Blazer's mother), at one time totally dependent on a body-suit for any of her senses, but consequently able to use those senses at paranormal
