While they come from the same place as the Crystal Gems, Homeworld Gems have a more malicious intent for the Earth. They are the complete opposite of Homeworld Gems.

She thought they were made-up names from a far away planet I really couldn’t blame her. She turned to me and finally asked if the Crystal Gems were actually based on anything.
