Anti-Earth: LOLcat

The fastest feline on Anti-Earth is a homicidal sociopath who works as a soulless assassin-for-hire. He insists that any would-be clients sign a written contract which spells out, in extensive detail, exactly what duties are expected of each party to the contract. These contracts usually specify that the client must perform some sort of pointless/irrelevant action, such as wearing all-white clothes for 24 hours. If the client violates his end of the contract in any way, LOLcat kills the client as well as the intended target. If the client attempts to negotiate a change in the wording of the contract before signing it, LOLcat kills the would-be client. If the client does not or cannot pay the specified fee, LOLcat kills the client as well as the intended target.

Anti-Earth's version of Jay Xavier was a lifelong sufferer of species dysphoria, a psychological disorder in which one believes that one's body is the wrong species. Every so often, he actively researched methods of bodily transformation; none of his investigations bore fruit until a couple of years ago, when he attracted the attention of a rogue geneticist who said he could help Xavier. Xavier did not know that this geneticist was actually a Grue sleeper agent, but even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared; all he did care about was whether or not the geneticist could deliver on his promises. As it happened, the geneticist could...

When Jay awoke the morning after he abandoned his humanity, he felt right, as he never had before. He fully embraced his new body's instincts, as his Earth-Prime counterpart never had; he now regards all humans as potential prey and/or food.

LOLcat models his assassinations after internet memes, most notably the ungramatically-captioned photos from which he takes his name. Many a LOLcat victim had been found with an 'appropriate' line of text written on a sheet of plywood, said sheet being attached to the victim by staples or drywall screws.

Earth-XX: Jubatus

Jane Natalie Xavier is approximately 2 cm shorter, and 1 kg lighter, than her counterpart on Earth-Prime. That minor difference in size is pretty much the only physical difference between the two. In fact, if Jane were ever in the same room as Jay Nelson Xavier, it would be difficult to tell them apart by appearance (see also: low degree of sexual dimorphism in cheetahs). Personality-wise, Jane is a much healthier, happier person than Jay; while she wouldn't mind having a human body, she positively revels in the sheer freedom of action that comes with being able to demolish the sound barrier under her own power.

Jane has at least 3 more ranks in Timeshift than Jay; this is because she actively practices with her powers, while Jay is mostly content to leave it to 'on the job training'. She is active all over the world, most notably in the North American continent.

Erde: Blitzsterben

Jürgen Xavier was one of the Third Reich's most skilled technicians—and one of the most difficult to work with, as well. He could, and did, find fault with anyone's work, a trait which was even more irritating because his scathing criticisms were always correct. However, it wasn't until he criticized the Final Solution as a "preposterous and exorbitantly costly waste of human ingenuity which otherwise could have benefited the Master Race" that the Nazi High Command decided that enough was quite enough. So it was that Jürgen was ordered to join the staff of Projekt: Blitzsterben ("swift death") in North America, never suspecting that he was meant to serve the Reich in the capacity of a guinea pig…

Jürgen was one of the earliest Projekt: Blitzsterben test subjects. He did, in fact, gain the superhuman speed which was the Projekt's intended goal, but this speed was accompanied by a number of unwanted ancillary changes which made him an inhuman monster. It took him a week of calendar time to master the peculiarities of his new body; once he did, his newly bestowed speed made it easy for him to escape from the biological laboratory in which he'd been held, leaving a trail of maimed and dead scientists and guards behind him.

In the weeks and months that followed his escape, Jürgen became something of an angel of death to the Nazis that had betrayed him and stolen his humanity away. His exploits attracted the attention of the American Resistance movement; they thought he was an innocent victim of Nazi cruelty, and he did not choose to disabuse them of this notion. Working side-by-side with people he'd been taught to regard as inferior, Jürgen came to realize that Naziism was built on lies. He now seeks to atone for the horrors he had contributed to as a willing tool of the Führer, and hopes that the Resistance will allow him the opportunity to redeem himself.
