Around 1000 years ago…
Spearhavoc, a soothsayer, shared a prophecy with Vandal Savage.

Savage began construction on a city in Sapristi, Bohemia, “the most foul pit of all Europe.”
A city that shall last a thousand years.

Savage made yearly inspections of the site, but this man did not appear.

Around the same time, the Godwave had rebounded from the edge of the universe and made a second pass over Earth, creating the potential for superheroes a thousand years later.
