The DC Multiverse is a fictional continuity construct that exists in stories published by comic book company DC Comics. Fiction is the telling of stories which are not real More specifically fiction is an imaginative form of Narrative, one of the four basic Rhetorical modes. In Fiction, continuity (also called time-scheme) is consistency of the characteristics of persons plot, objects places and events seen by the reader or A comic book (often shortened to simply comic and sometimes called a comic paper or comic magazine) is a Magazine or Book of narrative DC Comics is an American comic book and related media company The DC Multiverse allows writers the creative freedom to explore alternate versions of characters and their histories without contradicting and/or permanently altering the official continuity. The number of alternate universes used by the Multiverse construct has varied over the years due to DC Comics' policy of using or abandoning the concept at various points in its publishing history.

After the publication of Infinite Crisis and 52, the Multiverse is again being used in print by DC Comics and consists of fifty-two alternate universes which are referred to by the numeric designations of the alternate Earths within them ("New Earth", "Earth-1", "Earth-2", "Earth-3", etc. Infinite Crisis is a seven-issue Limited series of Comic books written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Phil Jimenez, George ). The numeric designation is used to distinguish the newer fictional Multiverse from the previous one, in which its alternate universes used alphabetic designations, such as "Earth-One", "Earth-Two", and "Earth-Three", instead. Earth-Two is a fictional universe appearing in American Comic book stories published by DC Comics. Earth-Three is a Fictional alternate universe set in the. It is the Earth of an alternate reality in the DC Multiverse.

History

Pre-Crisis

Although DC Comics continued publishing from the 1930s through the 1950s, the Golden Age of Comic Books had come to a close in the late 1940s or early 1950s, and most superhero comic books had ceased publication. DC Comics is an American comic book and related media company The Golden Age of Comic Books was a period in the history of American comic books generally thought as lasting from the 1930s until late 1940s during which Comic books A superhero (sometimes rendered super-hero or super hero) is a Fictional character "of unprecedented physical prowess dedicated to acts of derring-do The only superhero features to survive without long interruptions from the Golden Age to the present were Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Green Arrow.

Until well into the 1970s, mass-market comic books were dominated by a generation of creators who had either been involved in the creation of the Golden Age heroes of the 1940s (e. For the US Representative from Minnesota, see Rich T Buckler. Year 1970 ( MCMLXX) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link shows full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Year 1940 ( MCMXL) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display the full 1940 calendar of the Gregorian calendar. g. , Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Julius Schwartz and Joe Kubert), or been fans of Golden Age comic books and gone on to enter the industry themselves (e. Stan Lee (born Stanley Martin Lieber; December 28, 1922) is an American Writer, editor, creator of comic book characters Jack Kirby (born Jacob Kurtzberg, August 28, 1917 &ndash February 6, 1994) was an American Comic book Julius "Julie" Schwartz ( June 19, 1915 – February 8, 2004) was a Jewish Comic book and Pulp magazine Joe Kubert (born September 18, 1926) is a Jewish - American Comic book Artist who went on to found the Joe Kubert School g. , Roy Thomas and E. Nelson Bridwell). Roy Thomas (born November 22 1940, Missouri, United States) is a Comic book Writer and editor, and Edward Nelson Bridwell (1931 - 1987 was a writer for Mad magazine (writing the now-famous Catch phrase, " What you mean we white man " The earliest stories of the Earth-Two heroes were written and drawn by creative personnel who had worked on those characters during the Golden Age. As time went on, however, most of the new editors and creators were less familiar with the older heroes, and had greater difficulty maintaining the overall continuity of the characters and their histories. The newer generation of creators also took comic books more seriously, and were embarrassed by the light-hearted elements of older stories, with their profusion of kid sidekicks and other spin-off characters. Accordingly, many staffers and creators saw the need to simplify the Multiverse and eliminate elements they perceived as silly.

To this end, the Multiverse was reduced to a single universe in the 1985 12-issue limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths. A limited series is a term originated by Marvel Comics referring to a Comic book series with a set number of issues One by one, a villain known as the Anti-Monitor destroyed several alternate universes. The Anti-Monitor is a Fictional character, a Comic book Supervillain and the Antagonist of the 1985 DC Comics Miniseries Heroes of the last five universes (Earth-One, Earth-Two, Earth-Four, Earth-S, and Earth-X) along with a handful of survivors from other universes (Pariah, Lady Quark, Alexander Luthor, Jr., and the Inferior Five) held off the destruction of the last five universes long enough to defeat the Anti-Monitor. Pariah is a fictional Scientist published by DC Comics. He first appeared in Crisis on Infinite Earths #1 (April 1985 and was created Lady Quark is a Fictional character, a Superheroine in the DC Universe. Alexander Luthor Jr is a DC Comics character who turned from a hero to a villain The Inferior Five (or I5) are a Parody Superhero team that premiered in the DC Comics title Showcase #62 (1966

Those last five remaining universes were editorially merged into a single universe with its own history that combined elements of all five, along with completely new elements. For example, there was a Flash named Jay Garrick who was a member of the Justice Society during the 1940s, and another Flash named Barry Allen was a member of the Justice League decades later, but there was only one Superman, who had a modified history, different in some respects from both the Earth-One and the Earth-Two versions.

Several pre-Crisis characters (most importantly the Kara Zor-El Supergirl and Barry Allen Flash) were killed during Crisis on Infinite Earths, and as a result were either erased from history (in Supergirl's case) or simply proclaimed dead (Barry Allen) in the new singular universe. Supergirl is a fictional Comic book superheroine that is depicted as a female counterpart to the DC Comics iconic Superhero Superman Bartholomew "Barry" Allen is a Fictional character, a Superhero in the DC Comics universe and the second Flash Wonder Woman was thought to have been slain in the final issue, but was revealed to have been thrown backwards through time, reverting back to the clay from which she was formed. This set the stage for her reintroduction into the reformed DC Universe and the relaunch of the Wonder Woman comic, helmed by George Perez. Other characters and concepts, such as Streaky the Supercat, Comet the Super-Horse and the Space Canine Patrol Agents, vanished without explanation. Streaky the Supercat is a Fictional character published by DC Comics. Comet is the name of two Comic book characters owned by DC Comics whose adventures have been published by that same company For the schools whose acronyms are also SCPA see the Cincinnati School for Creative and Performing Arts or the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts

Post-Crisis

Although the Multiverse concept was eliminated after the publication of Crisis, several comics published after it made several references to it. A story in Animal Man by Grant Morrison referred to the Multiverse, with its effects coming undone as comic books, along with characters who no longer or never had existed emerging from the Psycho-Pirate’s mask inside Arkham Asylum. Animal Man ( Bernhard "Buddy" Baker) is a fictional DC Comics Superhero. Grant Morrison (born January 31 1960 is a Scottish Comic book writer and artist The Psycho-Pirate is the name of two DC Comics Supervillains dating back to the Golden Age of Comics. Keith Giffen's Ambush Bug demonstrated an awareness of the events in Crisis in his various mini-series, in which it was referred to as "Crisis on the only Earth we're still allowed to use. Ambush Bug is a fictional Comic book character who has appeared in several DC Comics. " The Books of Magic series, published under the Vertigo label but set in the DC Universe, had a storyline by Peter Gross (beginning in The Books of Magic #51) in which a Timothy Hunter from a parallel universe travelled from universe to universe, killing and absorbing the powers of his alternate selves. The Books of Magic is the title of a four-issue English-language Comic book mini-series written by Neil Gaiman, and later an ongoing series Vertigo is an Imprint of the American Comic-book publisher DC Comics.

Elseworlds

Although DC maintained that the other Earths no longer existed, during the 1990s they published occasional one-shots and mini-series labeled "Elseworlds", featuring alternate versions of their characters—a practice that was consistent with the concept of a Multiverse. Elseworlds is the publication Imprint for a group of Comic books produced by DC Comics that take place outside the company's canon DC officially classified these as stories that perhaps "could have" happened but had not actually occurred. Some one-shots and limited series without the "Elseworlds" label, such as Frank Miller's reimagining of DC heroes and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, also diverged from established continuity, or in the case of The Dark Knight Returns, have had continuity diverge from them. Frank Miller (born January 27, 1957) is an American Writer, Artist and Film director best known for his dark Batman The Dark Knight Returns, originally published under the title Batman The Dark Knight, is a Batman comic book mini-series

More recently, after the events of 52 re-established the Multiverse as part of DC continuity, many alternate worlds within the Multiverse and the characters that inhabit them are now based on stories that bore the "Elseworlds" label.

Hypertime

Main article: Hypertime (comics)

In 1999, DC introduced Hypertime, which provided a conceptual framework to recognize both canonical and apocryphal stories, stating that all stories outside mainstream continuity happened in alternate timelines that had "branched out". Hypertime is a Fictional concept presented in the 1999 DC comic book series The Kingdom, both a catch-all explanation for any continuity Hypertime was a superset of the Multiverse, including not only all pre-Crisis stories set on alternate Earths, but any story set in any continuity. This concept was first referenced in The Kingdom, in which an image of what appeared to be the original Earth-Two Superman was shown. However, the concept has been subsequently used only a few times (most notably in story-arcs in the pages of The Flash and Superboy). According to Dan DiDio, Executive Vice President of DC Comics, Hypertime will not be featured in any future stories.

Snowflake

In Warren Ellis' Planetary series, the structure of the multiverse is described as a web of 196,833 universes arranged in a pattern resembling a snowflake and separated by the Bleed. In the Batman/Planetary crossover, it is said that the collapse of the multiverse in Crisis on Infinite Earths was a "partial multiversal collapse" rather that the total destruction of all universes.

Infinite Crisis

Main article: Infinite Crisis

The Multiverse merging into "New Earth". Infinite Crisis is a seven-issue Limited series of Comic books written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Phil Jimenez, George From Infinite Crisis #6 (2006).

In 2005, DC began Infinite Crisis, a DC Universe crossover and sequel to Crisis on Infinite Earths. Stories leading up to the main limited series contained scattered references to the Multiverse, such as the Return of Donna Troy mini-series, in which the titular character Donna Troy returned from the dead and remembering the various origins of her alternate selves, (such as her counterpart from Earth-Seven, who became her nemesis Dark Angel) and the Captain Atom: Armageddon mini-series, which had the main character being sent to the WildStorm Universe and inadvertenly causing its destruction and recreation. Donna Troy is a Fictional character, a superheroine in the DC Universe. Dark Angel is a DC Comics villain who battled Wonder Woman. She is a wandering spirit who inhabited the body of Baroness Paula Von Gunther during WildStorm Productions, or simply WildStorm, (sometimes rendered Wildstorm) is a publishing Imprint and studio of American Comic book

In the Infinite Crisis series itself, the Superman and Lois Lane of Earth-Two, the Superboy of Earth-Prime, and Alexander Luthor Jr. of Earth-Three—all survivors of the destruction of the original Multiverse—reappeared, and the former existence of the Multiverse was acknowledged. Earth-Two was recreated in issue #4, and the surviving heroes who originated from Earth-Two were transported there.

In addition to this, worlds previously described only as "Imaginary Stories" or "Elseworlds" were revealed to be universes within the Multiverse, as shown by the presence of Superman Red and Superman Blue from the Silver Age imaginary story of the same name, Superman Jr. Elseworlds is the publication Imprint for a group of Comic books produced by DC Comics that take place outside the company's canon The Silver Age of Comic Books was a period of artistic advancement and commercial success in mainstream American comic books predominantly those featuring the Superhero and Batman Jr. from the World's Finest stories of the 1970s, the Superman from the Elseworlds story Superman: Red Son, a world featuring Batman, Robin, and Wonder Woman in Aztec garb, and a world featuring characters from the first Wonder Woman pilot as well as from the later Wonder Woman TV show alongside the original Teen Titans in a militaristic setting.

Eventually, Alexander's plan was circumvented when his equipment was destroyed by Superboy (Kon-El, a. Superboy, also known by his Kryptonian name Kon-El and his human alias Conner Kent, is a fictional Superhero in the k. a. Conner Kent), resulting in all Earths re-merging into "New Earth". The effects of this transformation were shown during the series 52 and in the "One Year Later" storyline. One Year Later was a 2006 event running through the DC Universe.

52

In the DC Nation column printed in the back of Week 37, Dan DiDio revealed "the secret of 52" in a coded message. Dan DiDio (born October 24, 1959) is an American Comic book editor and executive The message was spelled out using the first letter of every third word and said: "the secret of fifty-two is that the Multiverse still exists".

In 52: Week 52, it was revealed that the Multiverse was recreated at the end of Infinite Crisis with the creation of fifty-two separate Earths, separated by different vibrational frequencies and each with their own histories. These Earths were initially identical to New Earth until they were altered by the intervention of Mister Mind. Mister Mind is a Fictional Comic book Supervillain created for Fawcett Comics, and now owned and published by DC Comics.

All Star Superman

List of universes

Main article: List of DC Multiverse worlds

Traditionally, the "numbered" Earths were spelled out as words rather than with numerals—e. The DC Multiverse is a Fictional continuity construct that is used in DC Comics publications g. "Earth-Two" not "Earth-2"—in part to avoid confusion between similar-looking numerals and letters in hand-lettered text. This convention was disregarded in Crisis on Infinite Earths, and it became common practice to refer to the various Earths with numerals instead; however, Infinite Crisis reverted to the original practice while 52 and Countdown have referred to the alternate universe with numerals.

After the first Crisis, several new universes appeared despite DC's intentions to the contrary. In addition, DC ran a number of crossovers with other companies that involved travel between different realities. Technically, none of these worlds were ever part of the Multiverse.

A new Multiverse was revealed at the end of the 52 weekly limited series. ^[2] Unlike the original Multiverse, which was composed of an infinite number of alternate universes, this Multiverse is composed of only fifty-two alternate universes, which are referred to as New Earth and Earths 1 through 51. The alternate universes were originally identical to New Earth and contained the same history and people until Mister Mind "devoured" portions of each Earth’s history, creating new, distinct Earths with their own histories and people, such as the Nazi-themed version of the Justice League that exists in Earth-10. ^[3] Each of the alternate universes have their own parallel dimensions, divergent timelines, microverses, etc, branching off them. ^[4]

Contact between universes

Most inhabitants of the Multiverse are completely unaware of the other universes. The first character recorded to cross the gap between them (chronologically in continuity, not publishing order as this tale was revealed in the series All-Star Squadron in the 1980s) was Uncle Sam of Earth-Two, who accidentally crossed over into Earth-X. The All-Star Squadron is a DC Comics fictional Superhero team that debuted in Justice League of America #193 (August 1981 Uncle Sam is a Fictional character, a DC Comics Superhero based on National personification of the United States, Uncle DC Comics' first published story involving travel between alternate universes was Wonder Woman's crossing into an unnamed parallel Earth, in Wonder Woman (vol. 1) #59 (1953). Barry Allen, the Flash of Earth-One became the first recorded individual during the Silver Age to visit another Earth, accidentally vibrating at just the right speed to appear on Earth-Two, where he met Jay Garrick, his Earth-Two counterpart.

Other characters with super-speed powers have been able to duplicate the trick, but it has not been done routinely. Magic and technological devices have done the job as well. The Justice League of America's "transmatter" device (ordinarily used to transport between their satellite headquarters and the ground), was pressed into service for annual events in which the League and some of their counterparts on other Earths faced a universe-crossing "crisis" of one sort or another. Wonder Woman's invisible jet was also shown to be able to vibrate her across the multiversal barrier (Wonder Woman (vol. 1) #300), and she also crossed over when her magic lasso was struck by lightning (Wonder Woman (vol. 1) #59). Superman could travel to other Earths at will while Captain Marvel used the magical Rock of Eternity that granted him access to any of the Earths. Captain Marvel is a fictional Comic book Superhero, originally published by Fawcett Comics and later by DC Comics.

Writers have occasionally put characters from different Earths together in the same story without explanation, a continuity error often cited as a reason for eliminating the Multiverse in Crisis on Infinite Earths or as an extension of "Earth-B" (cited by DC staff as the setting for team-up stories told in The Brave and the Bold which did not always conform to established continuity for Earth-One, or any other established Earth). In Fiction, continuity (also called time-scheme) is consistency of the characteristics of persons plot, objects places and events seen by the reader or For the Tortoise and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy album see The Brave and the Bold (album. For instance, one such story featured Catwoman committing murder, which neither the Earth-One nor Earth-Two versions would ever do as it was strictly against either character's moral code. Catwoman is a Fictional character associated with DC Comics ' Batman franchise.

Earth-616, Marvel's main universe, is typically acknowledged as being part of a different multiverse entirely; in the JLA/Avengers crossover, even after the barriers between Earth-616 and the post-Crisis DC Earth had been deliberately weakened, it was incredibly hard to make the voyage. In the fictional Marvel Comics multiverse, Earth-616 or Earth 616 is the name used to identify the primary continuity in which most Marvel Comics Marvel Comics is an American comic book company owned by Marvel Publishing Inc Within Marvel Comics, most tales take place within the fictional Marvel Universe, which in turn is part of a larger multiverse.
