History:
(Cable II#82) - In Reality-22073, circa 2000 A.D., Cable failed to save Randall Shire (possessed by the Undying Semijan (see comments) and seeking to gain control over humanity via mind-control and a message of peace and harmony) from an
assassin (Domino/Neena Thurman possessed by the Undying Aentaros).
Shire's death was blamed on mutants, and an anti-mutant crusade engulfed the world: Mutants were destroyed, and the DNA pool remained untainted by evaluating children regularly and performing genetic surgery when necessary to wipe out any trace of the x-factor gene.
However, despite this, Shire's message of peace, love, and harmony lived on in some fashion. Over the centuries, his words remade humanity and turned Earth into a paradise of freedom and peace.
(Cable II#80 (fb) - BTS) - The Harmonists eradicated hatred, poverty, and war, and they developed cures for all diseases.
(Cable II#80 (fb) - BTS) - At some point, Earth was renamed Harmony.
(Cable II#80 (fb) - BTS) - Having mastered time
travel, the Harmonists used microscopic time probes to view past events
without being detected by the locals.
(Cable II#80 (fb) - BTS) - At some point, Ezra and his sister, Eyla, used time probes to listen to Socrates argue philosophy (at some during the 5th century B.C.).
(Cable II#81 (fb) - BTS) - The Fates
warned Reality-2775's Ranshi Emperor that his empire and their every existence
was imperiled, as events taking place 2000 years in the past would
split the timeline and that the Ranshi Empire was but one of two
possible futures.
(Cable II#80 (fb) - BTS) - The Ranshi
soon learned that the Earth of the other timeline was known as Harmony. As Harmony posed
a threat to their empire, the Ranshi resolved that Harmony must be
destroyed.
(Cable II#80 (fb) - BTS / Cable II#81 (fb)) - The Ranshi
Empire warred with the Harmonists, but with little success. The Harmonists concluded that the Ranshi worshipped power.
(Cable II#81 (fb) - BTS) - For months, Manuel Cire
led the battle against the invaders of the Ranshi Empire. Despite
numerous casualties on both sides, neither gained a clear advantage.
(Cable II#80 - BTS) <Circa 4004 A.D.> - Cable was transported to Harmony, and Eyla brought him back to their home for a celebration in his honor.
(Cable II#80) - Ezra designed an outfit suitable
for the evening's celebration, with the room sensors having analyzed
his form to ensure a perfect fit. Although Cable apologized while
noting that he felt like an idiot in the outfit, Ezra assured him that
it was the height of fashion, although he doubted that anyone would
notice his clothes, as a man like him would intimidate the men and put
the women in awe.
Manuel further added that in Niers, everybody wore
exactly what they wanted, as openness of expression in all forms was
encouraged and ridiculous was considered the norm.
(Cable II#80 - BTS) - Ezra was almost certainly
present at the celebration, which was interrupted by Ranshi attackers,
the encounter with whom sent Cable back to Earth-616 a millisecond
after his departure.
(Cable II#81 - BTS) - Manuel and Eyla accompanied a time ship from Harmony to Earth-616 circa the early 21st century with the goal of guiding Cable to perform the actions that would lead to Harmony's existence.
(Cable II#83 - BTS) - Cable's actions diverged
Earth-616 from both Earth-22073 and Earth-2775. Manuel noted that they
had lost contact with Harmony, and he and Eyla concluded that the
divergence had caused Harmony to cease to exist (see comments).
Comments: Created by Robert Weinberg, Michael Ryan, and Scott Hanna.
There is a LOT going on in this story arc. Randall Shire and Cable brought everything together. You can read the profiles on Shire and the Undying, etc. to get the other half of the story, but the Undying don't DIRECTLY relate to the Ranshi or the Harmonists. It may or may not make more sense as I profile Manuel and Eyla Cire and then the Harmonists and/or Harmony...and then the Ranshi Empire and its members.
Earth-22073 -
Cable killed Randall Shire, martyring him and causing his religion, Harmony, to
prosper; , technically advanced, worldwide peace, use in utero screening
technique to eliminate mutation; Harmonists circa 4004 AD warred against
divergent Earth -2775; reality diverged from -616 when Cable-616 defeated Shire
without killing him and made his followers hate him
