Fictional character biography
Axel Asher first became aware of his extraordinary powers when the two cosmic entities called "The Brothers," who represent the DC Comics Multiverse and Marvel Comics Multiverse, became aware of each other (as a result of the events in crossovers previously published by the companies) and hurled their respective heroes into conflict with each other's to prove their superiority over their counterpart; eleven 'champions' from each universe were selected to fight, the winner being whoever immobilised the other first- some champions were too powerful to ever conclusively defeat their opponents- and the overall winner being the side with most victories. The DC Multiverse is a Fictional continuity construct that exists in stories published by Comic book company DC Comics. Within Marvel Comics, most tales take place within the fictional Marvel Universe, which in turn is part of a larger multiverse.
Axel was just a normal teenager living in New York who came across an old bum in an alley, who protected what seemed to be a cardboard box but was actually a portal between the universes. He also revealed that Axel was next in line to bear the powers and responsibilities of being "The Access," the person in charge of preventing the universes from merging into one. This happens because they were originally one universe that split in two when The Brothers first fought; certain "fragments" of the original universe remained. The "box" was one of them—Access was another.
At the height of the Brothers' battle, when the last battle had ended- with the Marvel Universe being the overall winner with six victories to five-, the universes were combined into a single Amalgam Universe by The Spectre and the Living Tribunal to avert the end of existence. The Spectre is a fictional cosmic entity and Superhero who has appeared in numerous Comic books published by DC Comics. The Living Tribunal is a Cosmic entity that appears in the Fictional Marvel Universe. Access used shards of each universe hidden inside Batman and Captain America to separate and restore both universes. Batman (originally referred to as the Bat-Man and still referred to at times as the Batman) is a fictional Comic book Superhero co-created Aided by Batman and Captain America who, in many ways, were the Brothers in miniature, Access helped stop the fight between The Brothers, saving the two universes from destruction when the Brothers, looking at the two heroes, realised how foolish their conflict with each other truly was.
Powers and abilities

This article details time travel itself For other uses see Time Traveler. He can feel the presence of anything from one universe in the other. In addition, Access has recently learned that he can create an "amalgamation" of two people he touches from each universe.
Rift
Rift is the focal character of Worlds Collide, and like Access, lives in two universes. Worlds Collide was a Milestone Comics title published by DC Comics in (July 1994) to coincide with an Intercompany crossover Unlike Access, Rift was a provocateur, and was defeated by being put in an eternal sleep.
