The agonizing answers will shake Fortune City to its foundations! Ahoy Comics\u2019 The Wrong Earth series is multiversal hijinks with a heart In the original The Wrong Earth, the campy lawman Dragonflyman of Earth-Alpha and the gritty vigilante Dragonfly of Earth-Omega accidentally fall through a pair of Megamirrors. When Dragonflyman\u2019s kid sidekick, Stinger, destroys a Megamirror in a misguided attempt to save his mentor, the two heroes are stranded on each other\u2019s Earth. The Wrong Earth ended on something of a downer note. Faced with both the ghosts of their pasts and the bizarre realities of their new worlds, the two heroes work to find new lives. Dragonfly embraces the campy life to protect Earth-Alpha\u2019s Stinger and starts a relationship with the villain Deuce, who reforms as Lady Dragonflyman. Meanwhile, on Earth-Omega, the seemingly innocuous Dragonflyman revealed himself to be more crafty than expected. He bribed corrupt cops to protect his identity and took on a new sidekick after learning that Earth-Omega\u2019s original Stinger had killed himself years earlier. In the sequel series The Wrong Earth: Night and Day, the two heroes find themselves on Earth-Zeta with the authoritarian Man-Dragonfly and a grown Stinger, now known as Nightsting. They\u2019re seemingly stranded on Earth-Zeta along with Stinger, Stinger II, and Lady Dragonflyman when Nightsting, traumatized after years of abuse from Man-Dragonfly, destroys all the Megamirrors to try and trap his former mentor on another Earth. In 2023\u2019s The Wrong Earth: We Could Be Heroes, Nightsting attempts to rebuild the mirrors that could send everyone home, getting everyone to Earth-Alpha. However, the apparent threat of Man-Dragonfly\u2019s return causes him to panic, and he and Lady Dragonflyman launch into the Megaverse between worlds. With Nightsting and Lady Dragonflyman unable to return home, it leaves Earth-Omega\u2019s Dragonfly and Stinger II stranded on Earth-Alpha with that world\u2019s original Dragonflyman and Stinger. Though Dragonfly and Dragonflyman have made something of an earnest peace with their differing methods, the strain of both existing on the same world is sure to lead to madness.
