The Plumbiers (pronounced "PLOOM-e-YAY"), later known as the original Earth Plumbers, were a society on Earth who fought against the supernatural before the planet's first contact with alien life, and who predated the intergalactic Plumbers as Earth's leading extraterrestrial police force.
History[]
Background[]
The Plumbiers were founded by the Founding Fathers of the U.S.A. in 1700s[pop-up 1][1] and were known as the original Earth Plumbers before they disbanded as Earth joined with the intergalactic authorities. Though they fought the supernatural, the Plumbiers' technology could fight on par against alien technology.
Omniverse[]
In A New Dawn, in 1773, George Washington hunted a snake whose soul was trapped in a state of death ("like a zombie"), when he ran into Ben Tennyson and Rook Blonko. The three of them together fought the zombie, and then Ben and George met Maltruant and a young Vilgax, and together they fought against them. After defeating Vilgax and Maltruant escaping, Ben and Rook left, but not before Ben suggested that George change the name of the Plumbiers to Plumbers.

Etymology[]
Washington cited the name "Plumbiers" being French for "iron workers".[2][3] However, this is false; the word is neither the translation of "iron workers" ("ferroniers") nor "plumbers" ("plombiers").
