Uranus in Fiction - Comics and Anime

Comics and Anime

• In Planet Comics the Red Comet goes to Uranus and finds a race of Ice-Men, and an awful magician who has shrunken the rightful Queen down.
• In Grant Morrison's DC One Million (1998), each planet of the solar system is overseen by one member of the future descendants of the Justice League. Uranus is overseen by the Starman of the 853rd century from his floating citadel, after having replaced the Green Lantern.
• The Eternals, a fictional race of superhumans in the Marvel Comics universe, had a colony on Uranus. Most left Uranus and went on to Saturn, while those who remained behind were eventually wiped out by natural disasters. During the Kree-Skrull War the Kree Empire established an outpost on Uranus which acted as a supply depot for their weapons.
• In All-Star Comics #13 the JSA are gassed by Nazis and rocketed to different planets. Sandman (comics) finds himself heading toward Uranus, a planet so cold that the population's brains are housed in bodies of crystal! When Sandman lands on the planet, the lack of oxygen nearly kills him until a citizen rescues him with an oxygo-tank. In gratitude, Sandman agrees to help the King of the planet battle his nemesis, Kafta, the evil one, and defeats him. The King presents Sandman with a crystal that cures brain cancer and books that explain its use, which come in handy for reading on the long trip back to Earth.
• In a Superman comic Uranus' inhabitants are actually small mechanical robots. Their civilization is quite advanced, they can tour the solar system in circular space ships and although having weapons like "lance throwers" and "flame cannons", they have other advanced technologies like "transporta-rays" (which transport things and animals) and an interplanetary zoo.

In September 1949, referring to a book called "Children's Picture Book of Animals", they try catching an earth animal from each page, including a human man and woman. Superman deceives them into thinking all humans are robots, which they have no interest in (WF No. 6, September 1949: "The Alphabetical Animal Adventure").
