Meramec Caverns: A Hike Underground

Walk into a hideout used by the notorious Jesse James bank robber and find huge multi-colored stalactites and stalagmites at Meramec Caverns. On a cold and rainy autumn day, my son and I went underground on a tour of Meramec Caverns. This one-and-a-half-hour-guided tour is 11/4 mile long and includes going up steps and a few places where you have to lower your head. Although, mostly it is wide…

Pics: Some of Subterranea's residents.

1. Tyrannus, once a tyrannical Roman emperor. Kept young & vibrant by the Fountain of Youth!

2. Grotesk, underground nihilist wants to totally destroy the surface world...

3. Kro, Deviant scientist & secret 'lover' of the Eternal Thena!!

4. Mole Man, blind leader of the Moloids & Fantastic Four enemy!

1906: The Earth (is) Not Hollow.

Intro: Subterranea is an underground kingdom that was originally home of the Deviants.

It concists of a planet-wide network of caverns deep beneath the surface.

At Monster Island, these tunnels reach to the center of the Earth!!

Ancient Lizard Men, Lava men & many monsters call Subterranea home.

Places of special interest are the areas of Abysmia, the Fountain of Youth, the cities of Lechuguilla & Meramec, the Valley of Diamonds, etc all of them are located down here...

History: 20,000 years ago, the city of Netheria witnessed a Deviant attack on Atlantis!

The Netherians responded by enclosing their city & fortifying their foundations.

When Atlantis sank, Netheria ended up even deeper in the Earth - coming to rest in the Netherworld!

The exiled Tyrannus stumbled upon the Fountain of Youth & came to rule the Tyrannoids!!

Much later, the Mole Man took over a large part of Subterranea - with the help of his Moloids & giant monsters.

Recently, this underworld has seen the rise of the Ani-Men, Mutates & others.

The F.F., the High Evolutionary, Mister Sinister, the Frightful 4, etc have all either visited there or have used these dark depths for hidden bases.

Subterranean War - After civil war 'hit' Deviant controlled Lemuria, Kro was nowhere to be found. So, Brutus assumed the empty throne!

He began reclaiming all lands once belonging to the Deviants - including Subterranea!!

This war spilled out onto the streets of NYC. But, it turned out that these 'invaders' were actually refugees!!

Investigating, the Avengers are all captured by Brutus's forces!

Tyrannus & Mole Man get Hulk's help - by kidnapping his friends, Rick Jones & Betty Banner!!

Attacked at the Fountain of Youth, Hulk triggers a rockfall, burying it!

Once Betty & Rick are safe, Hulk empties out the last of the Fountain's water & laughs as Tyrannus tries to lick it off the dirt floor!!

Then, Tyrannus convulses & dies! Because Brutus had poisoned the Fountain's water...

Meanwhile, an aged Kala seeks out Iron Man's help. But, they're attacked by the Outcasts & Kala's kidnapped!

Iron Man's able to rescue her at the city of Netherland.

The Deviants final attack uses the high tech Oscillatron, which can shatter whole realms apart...

But, the West Coast & Great Lakes Avengers defeat the Deviant forces.

In the aftermath, it's discovered that Brutus is actually a Mutate - passing himself off for a Deviant!

So, his own Mutates rip him apart!!
