* CompleteMonster: [[MadScientist Randall Dowling]] is the leader of The Four, an evil analogue of ComicBook/TheFantasticFour. Having made contact with another world, Dowling plans to assist it in conquering Earth in exchange for power. For decades, he has kept Earth's technology at its current level by [[WithholdingTheCure withholding or suppressing discoveries]] that could eradicate disease--including the cure for cancer--and save countless lives. in addition, Dowling locates children with budding technological skill able to advance humanity. He has their families killed in "accidents", before tormenting and brainwashing the kids into using their talents to stifle humanity's growth, with bombs planted in them in case anyone tries to rescue them. Using the RedScare as a threat, Dowling also creates "City Zero", where suspected "spies" are rounded up and subjected to inhuman experiments, kept alive in horrible agony for Dowling's purposes. To store his experiments and weapons, Dowling also wiped out all life on a planet, just to ensure it was freed for storage. Treating his fellow members of the Four as disposable as well, Dowling's only care is [[ItsAllAboutMe for his own ego, advancement and power]], no matter how many worlds he sacrifices.

* SpiritualSuccessor: The new ''[[ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders Outsiders]]'' comic appears to be this. Luke Fox's Outsiders team is very similar to Planetary in both aims and methods, and introduces a new version of The Drummer. It also has ties to Wildstorm by having the team discover ComicBook/{{The Authority}}'s CoolStarship The Carrier in the first issue. [[spoiler:The last panel of the first issue suggests it may be a full-blown sequel]].
