Alternate Versions
- In 2005, Mister Majestic visited a future where the world including Jack Marlowe, who Majestic refers to as Hadrian, had been taken over by Daemonites. This future turned out to be in 2006. Majestic defeated Marlowe and freed him from the Daemonite-possession. In return, Marlowe used the last of his Void-powers to send back Majestic and prevent this future from ever occurring.
- In another future, Majestic would encounter Spartan at the end of the universe. Spartan, had been called many names, including Metavac, by then and through countless upgrades had become a godlike entity. He revealed to Majestic that at the exact heat death of the universe, the universe would become a superconductor for any thought. Spartan absorbed Majestic and the resulted entity had a thought at the end: "There really should be light", creating a new universe. Spartan, Majestic and the latter's close friend, a vampire, is seen at the birth of the new universe.
- Another version of this future had a human time-traveller attempting to take over Spartan and create a new universe where he would rule. The British superhero team The Establishment tried to stop this. Three members of The Establishment, known as the Golden, revealed that Spartan had foreseen the time traveller's interference and sent a part of him back in time. This part, known as Metavac, gave the Golden their superhuman powers and tasked them with protecting him in the future. In the end, the Golden failed to protect Spartan, but criminal Charlie Arrows used his powers to connect to Metavac and have the "Let there be light"-thought, assuring the existence of a new universe.
- Spartan becomes a floating head in a force field; he is part of the last resistance group against that future's tyrannical dicatator, a murders Spawn.
- In the short-lived WildC.A.T.S. animated TV series, Spartan was portrayed as a Kherubim named Hadrian who was rebuilt as a cyborg prior to the show's beginning. This version of Spartan was voiced by Rod Wilson.

Famous quotes containing the words alternate and/or versions:
“Boswell, when he speaks of his Life of Johnson, calls it my magnum opus, but it may more properly be called his opera, for it is truly a composition founded on a true story, in which there is a hero with a number of subordinate characters, and an alternate succession of recitative and airs of various tone and effect, all however in delightful animation.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
