The 10 Best Alternate Universes In Sci-Fi

Grow a goatee and blame it all on your evil counterpart.

Hell Valley as seen in Back to the Future Part II
When Doc Brown picks up Marty and takes him for a jaunt into the future world of 2015 to save his kids, it seems like it’s going to be all fun with hoverboards and flying cars, at least until old Biff steals the DeLorean and uses it to go back to 1955 make his younger self rich. When Marty goes home to 1985 expecting to see good, old Hill Valley, he instead finds himself in a nightmare world where Biff Tannen killed his father, married his mother, and rules the town with an iron fist.

Dubbed “Hell Valley” by the graffiti artists who live there, Hell Valley is an alternate dimension created by Old Biff’s perversion of the timeline. To set things right Marty will have to revisit 1955 and stop Biff all over again, but not before he spends time staring at his Mom’s outlandish boob job and being beat up by Tannen thugs in the new nightmare world Biff’s greed has created. Back to the Future II is often overlooked as the lesser of the trilogy, but the film takes things right to the edge with Hell Valley, a place which might not be so bad… assuming your last name is Tannen.
