Angor is a distant planet that is home to the Champions of Angor.
History
Angor's resident superhero team, the Assemblers, were too wrapped up in their own fame to protect Angor from any serious threats. A nuclear holocaust caused by a terrorist group of supervillains, the Extremists, eventually wiped out almost the entire world, including several of the Assemblers, and the Extremists themselves.
Although the remaining members of the Assemblers, Wandjina, Blue Jay, and Silver Sorceress, regrouped as the Champions of Angor, they were still too late to save their world. Eventually they left to save other worlds from the problems that had caused their own to fall. After arriving on Earth, there was a conflict between the Champions of Angor and the Justice League when the Champions tried to destroy the nuclear weapons on the Justice League's world. Sometime later, a group of too-accurate amusement park robot duplicates of The Extremists also escaped to Earth, and caused trouble for Justice League Europe. Dreamslayer of Angor was revealed to have survived the holocaust, not being technically human, and while the rest of the robots were merely shut off, he was put in prison.

Notes
- Angor is a tribute to the Marvel Universe and most of its characters are close analogues of various Marvel Comics characters. For instance, the Assemblers are a stand-in for Marvel's Avengers.
- When Angor was first introduced in Justice League of America #87, it appeared to be an Earth-like alien planet in the Earth-One universe. Post-Crisis (in Justice League #2), Angor was changed to be a Earth-like planet in another dimension (but not an alternate Earth).
- With the recreation of the Multiverse following the events of 52, a version of Angor has been allocated to the parallel reality known as Earth-8, and been specified as an alternate Earth. Angor is referred to as Earth-8 for the first time in Countdown #29.
