Canada

**Canada** is a country in North America. Its capital is Ottawa.

## Overview

Canada is the second largest country in the world by total area, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, and north into the Arctic Ocean. Canada is divided into ten provinces and three territories. The capital city of Canada is Ottawa but its largest city is Toronto.

Police Grand Army member Rachel Bradley and Mettan Valarie Lethletera hailed from Canada. It spent centuries under the totalitarian rule of the Lord of the North.

The Tower of Reincarnation, located here, was the site of Hell Burnbottom's rebirth through the work of the Elite NoHeads and the Apostles. Lindsay Kellerman was transported here by her own transformed plate in May of 2031. There, Kellerman's skin was used as part of a Dark ritual to reconstitute a body for Hell Burnbottom. The Dark Lord then called his servants to him with Fireball's NoHead Sign, thus reviving the dark forces, and engaged in a duel with Kellerman, who managed to escape the overlord and return to the MBH.

## History

### Formation of the Canadian Mutant Kingdom

The Mutant Kingdoms were founded in the 1720s to succeed the earlier Council of Mutants, and the Canadian Mutant Kingdom was founded in 1726, with the father of King Eden reigning as dictator. The King had the onerous job of policing a fractious and frightened community adjusting to the imposition of the PROM. He lived in Saskatchewan, which became the mutant capital of Canada.

In 1797, a two-pronged attack was launched upon Saskatchewan by the Wasters. In response, the King Eden's father led the main army east to counter the Waster invasion at Manitoba and was defeated. Eden was selected to become king in 1798. Eden was commander of Saskatchewan's southern army and guarded Canada as a whole. Eden led his army to the Hallowed Hall where he won an astounding victory over the Wasters. After the threat was eliminated Saskatchewan's attention shifted towards Deoleoun, for it was on the latter's orders that Eden's father had been slain. Deoleoun defended his actions, but he was still defeated, and Eden's reign began. He sent messages to other countries announcing his rule, while accepting the rule of others and signing a treaty of conduct to ensure land was divided equally.

### Aligning powers

King Eden died in 1844 and was succeeded by his daughter Edith, who was as good a general as her father but lacked his wisdom. In the meantime, Saskatchewan was targeted by New Brunswick, which the evil Lord of the North had taken as a fortress. The Lord of the North challenged Queen Edith to single combat in 1848. The Queen rode out of Saskatchewan and disappeared, thus ending the reign of the Saskatchewan Kings and keeping the Lord of the North in control. The Lord of the North ruled supreme for centuries until 1948, at which point the kingdom was disassembled.

### Return of Hell Burnbottom

"*The NoHeads shall rise again!*"
―Whammo Fireball heralding Hell Burnbottom's return[src]
In 2041, Hell Burnbottom hatched a plot to regain his body and murder his greatest enemies, Master Intelligence and Lindsay Kellerman. The network he devised required three ingredients: bone of the vulture, egg of the crow, and flesh of the hero.

On the night of May 22, 2041, the S.M.S.B. ate a "surprise supper" on homemade plates. Unbeknownst to Kellerman or anyone else involved in the project, the Lunch Money Bandit had turned the former's plate into a transport to the Tower of Reincarnation. Upon touching the plate, Kellerman was transported to the Tower of Reincarnation, where the overlord was awaiting Lindsay with Whammo Fireball. Fireball proceeded to concoct one of the tower's networks using Kellerman's skin, a vulture's bones, and a crow's egg. Burnbottom's head was merged into the prism, and the network exploded, column upon column collapsing over each other. The unstable fragments were contained into his new body.

The warlord, restored to physical form, briefly dueled Kellerman, who was assaulted with fire and forced on the defensive. Finally, Kellerman fought back, beginning a vicious swordfight. Suddenly, the ghost of Master Intelligence's mother, Rotta Hecks showed up. She instructed Kellerman to break away from the enemy when she was ready and to grab the plate to return to the MBH, as she would be able to momentarily hold Burnbottom at bay. While the ghost held Burnbottom off, she was able to summon the plate to her and escape from the Tower of Reincarnation.

In April of 2043, the U.S. Government requested that the tower be destroyed in order to conceal the secret of its existence from the public, which the S.M.S.B. volunteered to do. They subsequently led an assault on the Tower of Reincarnation. Reinforcements arrived, but then the Umbralord became aware of the attack and sent reinforcements to aid his forces already there, reactivating the forges and causing neon lights to reactivate around the tower as it was engulfed in shadow. After Titanium Girl, who had seen a different prism for herself recently, forced the demon into a portal, Troy withdrew a phial and cast down the walls, foul pits and crevices. The Tower of Reincarnation was destroyed along with anyone's chance to initiate rebirth through the Darkness.

## Known locations

### Known Canadian provinces and territories

* **Manitoba**: A province. In 1797, a two-pronged attack was launched upon Saskatchewan by the Wasters, and Manitoba came under heavy fire. In response, the father of King Eden led the main army east to counter the Waster invasion and was defeated. Eden was selected to become king in 1798.
* **New Brunswick**: A province located on the east coast. The territory was forcibly taken by the Lord of the North, and used as a base to attack Saskatchewan and in the process, decayed into the dark and demonic fortress. From within its walls, the Lord of the North challenged Queen Edith to single combat in 1748. The Queen entered the gates and was never seen again, thus ending the reign of the Saskatchewan Kings and keeping the Lord of the North in control. In 1811, the Lord of the North realized that the spirit of his old master, Verpus the Foul, had endured beyond death and allowed him to hide in Quebec, while his followers relocated to New Brunswick. They remained quiet there for the next century.
* **Ontario**: Home to an outlet of Thames Metalle.
* **Quebec**: A province. In 1811, the Lord of the North, who governed all of Canada, offered sanctuary to the spirit of his old master, Verpus the Foul, giving him a place in Quebec to hide, while his followers relocated to New Brunswick.
* **Saskatchewan**: A province located in western Canada. In the 18th century, it was the capital of Canada, which was ruled over by a monarchy.

### Other known locations

* **Appalachian Mountains**
* **Hallowed Hall**
* **Thames Metalle**
* **Tower of Reincarnation**: A mysterious tower imbibed with the Darkness. In 2041, it was also the site of when Hell Burnbottom returned to power, the first battle of the Third NoHead War. At the end of the war, the tower was destroyed by the U.S. Government after the Umbralord used it to disperse demonic forces throughout space. The tower was located in a desolate area in **Canada**. It is unknown, though unlikely, that anyone else returned to life within the Tower, at least successfully. The graveyard was placed in an uneven area which resulted in it having high and low burial ranges ranged from wide open to narrow and cramped. There was also a small wooden area filled with yew and other bare trees. Located in a desolated, uneven area of land somewhere in **Canada**, the Tower of Reincarnation was large and rotund and built of stone.

## Mutant education

Canadian mutants have the option to attend Superhero School in the United States of America.

## Behind the scenes

According to D. Isaac Thomas, the idea for the Tower of Reincarnation "just popped into [his] head" while he was in class, prompting him to write it down in his journal.

## Trivia

* It is unknown how the Tower came to be, but Master Intelligence speculated that it was built by Dark mutants that never received an opportunity to reincarnate anyone within its walls. As Hell Burnbottom noted the prism and everything else within the tower to be "old piece of dark mutantry", it can be inferred that it has been used in the past by other Dark mutants who had been killed. Therefore, Burnbottom most likely did not invent it.
