  • When our heroes saved the Multiverse from Perpetua in DARK NIGHTS: DEATH METAL, everything was put back where it belonged...and we do mean everything. All the damage from all the Crises were undone, and heroes long thought gone returned from whatever exile they had been in. Most of them, at least. Alan Scott, the Green Lantern from the Justice Society of America, has noticed some of his allies are still missing in action, and he’s determined to find them. There are others, though, who would rather remain hidden than explain themselves, like Roy Harper, a.k.a. Arsenal, a man who should be dead but is not. Plus, what does all this mean for the DCU’s place in the Multiverse? On opposite sides of a dimensional divide, both Barry Allen and President Superman ponder this question. Not to mention the Darkseid of it all! Or a team of Multiversal heroes called Justice Incarnate! Never miss an episode by subscribing today! bit.ly/2WYvgkt #comicpop

    Flash: “Okay. What’re you doing here?”
    Pariah: “I’ve made many enemies. One such for was a powerful red-headed woman with glasses. She sent me here. She told me it was to ‘Think about what I’ve done’, but I think she just sent me here to be as far away from her as possible. I don’t think she likes me very much.”

    11:23 funny thing. In the Wonder Woman comics after infinite frontier, after she leaves Valhalla and start exploring around with Siegfried, she accidentally lands on Earth 11 and the Martian manhunter of that Earth points out that they call their Earth "Earth-1" while they call the Prime Earth "Earth 11."

      Every Earth is Earth-Prime if you’re living on it, I suppose.
      Also, unrelated note: I recall that Earth-11 is a gender-flipped universe, so would their version of Martian Manhunter be called “Martian Woman-finder” or something along those lines? I apologize in advance if this question sounds stupid, by the way - it’s very late, and I should be asleep as I’m posting this comment, and yet here we are.

    Elseworlds SHOULD be a wholly different multiverse, that is separate from the "main" multiverse. Any world that doesn't have a number that is between 0/prime/New Earth and 52, gets added to the Elseworlds multiverse.
    It should be a trinity of multiverses; Main multiverse, Elseworlds, and the Dark multiverse being the by far the largest. All three of them would have their own "sphere" to house all of their Earths (Dark multiverse having a near infinite multiverses for each Earth it has). Multiverse-2 shouldn't be a thing. It sounds like a second try at the Dark multiverse, and I don't think it's necessary.
    Machinehead is interesting because we see someone call out Barry (Manhattan should as well but isn't) for his actions. Because Earth- 2 was VERY much changed because of Flashpoint. It's sad that most people seem to hate/not like N52 Earth-2 for whatever reasons. There should be 2-3 different versions of the Earth-2 characters running around in the multiverse, and we only just back Val and Red Lois for a little bit. Crisis/War of Earth-2's lol?

    My theory on how the multiverse works is that the earth that superboy prime was shown in after his fight with the darkest night is that main universe but I also believe that both the marvel and dc heroes all exist on that earth and then after some years a child was born that was so powerful that when it cried it erased all of existence leaving 3 survivors super boy prime,the child, and Franklin richards prime. And Franklin and Clark are able to survive because they are essentially god powered beings and they decide to divide the powers of the child into 2 entities the phoenix force and anti life equation. And due to this Franklin took half of the pantheon of the heroes and villains and made the marvel multiverse and Clark made the dc universe. And the separated the force and the equation in their multiverses so the child could never become whole again and destroy existence again and the reason they don’t just recreate their universe is because it would eventually end up with the child being born again.
