** Universe-7: Like Universe-32 below, this universe merges pairs of DC's characters. The differences are: here, there's the intent of emulate the characters of the ComicBook/AmalgamUniverse, while in U-32, the fusions are random JLA's characters meged together; and while in U-32 the civilian identities are also merged, in U-7 the civilian identities are intact, being only merged with other characters' ''roles''. Weather Wonder a.k.a [[Characters/Gen13 Sarah Rainmaker]], for example, is an erzatz of Amalgam's Amazon, who's ComicBook/WonderWoman merged with ComicBook/{{Storm}}, but she's still Sarah Rainmaker, ''not'' "Diana Rainmaker. ", nor "Sarah Prince". [[note]]Long story short, the characters' identities are those of DC's characters who share similarities with the Creator/MarvelComics' components of the Amalgams (Rainmaker's powers are similar to Storm's), while their roles are those of the Amalgam's Creator/DCComics' components. [[/note]]

** Universe-35: To Creator/RobLiefeld's characters. The Superfellows are ersatzes of the Allied Supermen of America (with a bit of Creator/AlanMoore's take on them), themselves a pastiche of the Justice League. The Offbeat Squad (a recycled version of ''Multiversity'''s Earth-41's Nimrod Squad) are based on Liefeld's Comicbook/{{Youngblood}}.

** Universe-35: Splendor, a counterpart of ComicBook/{{Glory}}, is particularly based on the Keatinge and Campbell’s version of the character. Also, the head of Offbeat Squad’s Flintstein was based on the Gwen’s version of the alien Diamondhead, in the ''WesternAnimation/Ben10''’s [[Recap/Ben10S2E4Gwen10 episode]] set in an AlternateUniverse in which [[ForWantOfANail she got the Omnitrix instead of Ben]].

** Universe-2: The mother of [[Characters/GreenLantern1941 Jade and Obsidian]] is Eve Eden a.k.a. ComicBook/{{Nightshade}} instead of Rose Canton (their father is still Alan Scott, though). As in ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}'', Jesse’s father is Harry Wells instead of Johnny Chambers. Richard Grayson is formally adopted by Bruce and Selina, becoming brother of their biological daughter Helena.

* HasTwoMommies:
** Universe-34: Cutie is raised by her creator, Marlize Malan, and her partner Sterling Roquette.
** Universe-35: Splendor, an Alternate Self of Wonder Woman, is daughter of Hippolyta and Philippus.
** Universe-36: War Woman, another Wondy’s counterpart, is daughter of Hippolyta and Aphrodite, who used her [[VoluntaryShapeshifter metamorphic powers]] to change [[PartialTransformation part of her body]] in order to [[HomosexualReproduction directly impregnate Hippolyta during their intercourse]].
** Universe-50: Donna a.k.a. Sage is the daughter of Majestrix and Veritas, conceived via Kryptonian biotechnology.

* HasTwoMommies:
** [[Franchise/WonderWoman Diana, Donna Troy and Nubia]] were raised by Hippolyta and Philippus. Aphrodite also had a contribution to Diana’s conception (it’s a bit complicated, but it’s explained [[https://www.deviantart.com/luizpratta/art/DC-Alterverse-Wonder-Woman-834061905 here]]).
** After marrying her first wife Julia Kapatelis, Diana adopted Julia’s daughter Vanessa and they became the girl’s legal co-parents. Currently, Diana’s second wife Artemis is Vanessa’s stepmother.
** Artemis is the daughter of Antiope and Menalippe.
** After being raised by two different heterosexual couples (firstly by his biological parents Marie and Mark Logan, later by [[ComicBook/DoomPatrol Rita Farr and Steve Dayton]]) [[ComicBook/TheNewTeenTitans Gar Logan/Changeling]] ended up being raised by Marie and Rita, who became a couple some time after their respective husbands died.

** [[ComicBook/NewGods Steppenwolf]] combines the face and basic design of his green Pre-Crisis outfit created by Creator/JackKirby with the metallic, bulky look ([[HornsOfVillainy horned helmet]] included) from his ComicBook/TheNew52 and Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse versions.

*** Universe-35: ComicBook/GreenLantern analogue Shadow Caster is [[ComicBook/{{Shade}} Richard Swift]], while Robin/ Nightwing’s analogue is [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cassandra Cain]] and Green Arrow analogue Olympian is Connor Hawke.

*** The extraterrestrial invasion of a Khund-Dominator-Thanagarian alliance is based on the CrisisCrossover ''ComicBook/{{Invasion}}''.

* AdaptationalBadass: Eve Teschmacher not only got high business skills, to the point of becoming the CEO of her own company (see AdaptationalWealth below), but she's also a superheroine, [[HenshinHero transorming into]] Black Eve (a gender-flipped Black Adam, as mentioned below) [[ByThePowerOfGreyskull when she says the word]] "Comicbook/{{Shazam}}".

** Her wife Lorraine Reilly was modeled after Creator/CynthiaAddaiRobinson, who played Comicbook/AmandaWaller in ''Series/{{Arrow}}''.

** Maxima combines elements from her original version (like her look and her StalkerWithATestTube attitude toward Superman) with her Comicbook/TheNew52 version (like her connection to the Crucible Academy and [[spoiler:her homosexuality]]). These versions seem to be contradictory to each other, but there's an InUniverse explaination: Maxima [[spoiler: [[ArmoredClosetGay strongly repressed her homosexuality]] because she internalized the intense pressure from her kingdom and family to find a male mate and have an heir. She eventually comes out and decides to [[BeYourself embrace her sexual orientation]]]].
** [[ComicBook/NewGods Steppenwolf]] combines the face and basic design of his green Pre-Crisis outfit created by Creator/JackKirby with the metallic, bulky look ([[HornsOfVillainy horned helmet]] included) from his Comicbook/TheNew52 and Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse versions.

** Comicbook/MartianManhunter is biologically a {{Hermaphrodite}} here, as is the whole Martian race by default, and self-identifies as female, adopting the female human identity of Joan Jones.

** After being raised by two different heterosexual couples (firstly by his biological parents Marie and Mark Logan, later by [[Comicbook/DoomPatrol Rita Farr and Steve Dayton]]) [[Comicbook/TheNewTeenTitans Gar Logan/Changeling]] ended up being raised by Marie and Rita, who became a couple some time after their respective husbands died.
* HeelFaceReincarnation: [[Comicbook/BlackAdam Teth-Adam]], a FallenHero from ancient times, reincarnated as the benevolent [[CompositeCharacter Eve Teschmacher]], adopting the heroic identity of Black Eve, after she passed a SecretTestOfCharacter made by the wizard Shazam (who was also the mentor of her original incarnation).

** Marie Logan and Rita Farr co-starred the [[ShowWithinAShow TV series]] ''Hello, Megan!'', as they did in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''. Marie being lesbian is a nod to the same show, that hinted she wasn't straight by making her vulnerable to Queen Bee's pheromone control.

* PatchworkFic: It combines elements of different canon continuities, like Pre-Crisis, Post-Crisis, The New 52 and Rebirth, and also from other media, like the ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''.

** Marie Logan, who died in the comics and in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'', from which her backstory is heavily based on, is alive here.

* CaptainErsatz: Following the steps of Grant Morrison’s ''Comicbook/TheMultiversity'', many heroes from Alternate Universes are based on characters from other publishers, although some details may differ from Morrison’s versions. Their identities tend to be tied to mainstream DC characters, though (see AdaptationNameChange above and CompositeCharacter and NamedByTheAdaptation below).
** Universe-7 has ersatzes of the Comicbook/AmalgamUniverse's characters. The twist is that, in most cases, their identities are different from the DC's components of the original amalgams: Green Machine, analogue to Amalgam's Iron Lantern, is [[ComicBook/{{Steel}} John Henry Irons]] rather than [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Hal Jordan]], mostly because Irons shares some traits with Comicbook/IronMan (being a GadgeteerGenius and wearing a PoweredArmor), the Marvel's component of Iron Lantern.
** Universe-8 has the Retaliators, based on Comicbook/TheAvengers. New additions: Stuntmaster (analogue to Daredevil), who was mentioned but not shown in ''Multiversity'', and Hornet (analogue to Wasp), who was borrowed from Jeph Loeb’s Maximums.
** Universe-13 has two groups: the Assemblers, also based on the Avengers (and the only ones who don’t have counterparts in mainstream DC) and the Excellent Ensemble, based on the Squadron Supreme, themselves a pastiche of the JLA. Tomorrow Woman, an InUniverse immigrant from Universe-0, is treated as an Ersatz of Comicbook/TheVision, given the similarities between them (both are androids created by villains to infiltrate among the heroes, but they GrewBeyondTheirProgramming and [[PhlebotinumRebel became]] [[BecomingTheMask truly]] [[HeelfaceTurn heroic]]), which may or not be intentional in her canon debut in ComicBook/JLA1997.

[[/note]]
** Universe-8: Major Max's alter ego is Linda Danvers, from [[ComicBook/Supergirl1996 Peter David's run]] on ''Supergirl'' title, but she's also sister of Alex Danvers, like the ''Arrowverse'' [[Series/Supergirl2015 version of Supergirl]]. Deadeye is this regarding his CaptainErsatz status: while he's based on Comicbook/{{Hawkeye}}, he also has elements of [[ComicBook/BuckyBarnes the Winter Soldier]].

** Universe-34: Goodfellow, a counterpart of [[Comicbook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel/ Shazam]], is actually Yz, the imp associated to Johnny Thunder and Jakeem in canon.

** Universe-34: Multiversity’s Herculina is split into Liberty Eagle (visually closer to ComicBook/AstroCity’s Winged Victory and more clearly an AlternateSelf of Wonder Woman) and Herculina (closer to Astro City’s Cleopatra II and an AlternateSelf of Nubia). Also, Billy Batson is a separate character from [[Comicbook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel/ Shazam]]’s counterpart Goodfellow.

** Universe-50 has Piledriver, an AlternateSelf of Rampage and an Ersatz of [[Comicbook/WildcatsWildStorm Maul]], both of them Hulk Mash-Ups on their own.

** Universe-7: Wolfman's backstory was mostly borrowed from the Pre-Crisis story "Moon of The Wolf" (In ''Batman #255''), written by Len Wein, albeit with a happier ending. His civilian name being Anthony Romulus (the original surname was Lupus) follows the AdaptationNameChange for the [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE43MoonOfTheWolf homonymous episode]], also written by Wein, from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. Bonus points for Wein being the co-creator of Comicbook/{{Wolverine}}, whom Wolfman is partially based on (Wolfman is a CaptainErsatz of Dark Claw, the Comicbook/AmalgamUniverse combination of Wolverine and Batman).

*** Universe-34: Master Motley is [[Comicbook/HarleyQuinn Harleen Quinzel]], Radpower is [[SpinOffspring Peggy]] [[Comicbook/CaptainAtom Adams]] and Ghostman is [[Comicbook/{{Azrael}} Jean-Paul Valley]]. Also, Tomorrow Woman's counterpart Cutie is named Clara Malan-Roquette. Superman's analogue Savior's birth name is Kalel (sans hyphen), and his civilian name is Sal Ravi Kole, a SignificantAnagram of "Kalel Savior".
*** Universe-35: Comicbook/GreenLantern analogue Shadow Caster is [[Comicbook/{{Shade}} Richard Swift]], while Robin/ Nightwing’s analogue is [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cassandra Cain]] and Green Arrow analogue Olympian is Connor Hawke.

** In Universe-32, Comicbook/GreenLantern Jessica Jordan has a relationship with John Baz and Carol Kalmaku.

* SdrawkcabName: Universe-3 brings some characters whose names are this, compared to their Universe-0 counterparts: the evil wizard Mazahs (Comicbook/{{Shazam}}), his pupil Levram (Marvel, as in "Captain Marvel") and the heroic Anavis (Sivana).

** Universe-3: The GoodCounterpart of Lex Luthor is described as “[[Film/TheAvengers2012 genius, billionaire, philanthropist]]’’ and a [[Comicbook/IronMan hero wearing a hi-tech armor]]. Also, Leona, a lioness-like counterpart of Comicbook/{{Cheetah}}, wears an outfit inspired in the Dora Milaje, the all-female elite guard of ComicBook/BlackPanther. Solo-G, a clubber version of [[Characters/GreenLantern1941 Solomon Grundy]], takes some inspiration from Italian cyberpunk character Ranxerox.

** Universe-13: Tin Man’s codename is, InUniverse, a reference to the homonymous Music/{{America}}’s song. His civilian name, Robert Hughes, is a nod to Creator/RobertDowneyJr –who played Comicbook/IronMan (whom Tin Man is [[{{Expy}}a pastiche of]]) in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse – and to the adventurer Creator/HowardHughes, the RealLife inspiration for Iron Man’s Tony Stark persona. Also, Silver Sorceress romance with Tomorrow Woman is a reference to Comicbook/ScarletWitch’s [[{{Robosexual}} romance]] with Comicbook/TheVision. And Rainbow’s codename also sounds like her Marvel’s inspiration’s surname, Rambeau. The stylized bird in General Glory’s shield was based on the modern version of the ComicBook/{{SHIELD}}’s logo.

** Universe-3: Doc Mercy is a counterpart of Scarecrow, but his [[GasMaskLongcoat outfit]] and gas gun were based on the Wesley Dodds version of Sandman, especially his look in ''ComicBook/SandmanMysteryTheatre''.

** In the comics, Batman predates both versions of ComicBook/{{Batwoman}}, Pre-Crisis Kathy Kane and the Post-Crisis Kate Kane. Here, Kate not only starts her heroic career way before Bruce Wayne, but she also inspires him to become Batman and trains him.

** Universe-50: Its Flash counterpart Firestone being an African-American Iris West is a reference to ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}'', especially [[Recap/TheFlash2014S4E16RunIrisRun the episode]] in which she [[SuperPowersForADay temporarily gains superspeed]]. As in that episode, Barry is a normal guy in Universe-50. She's assited by a "Team Firestone" that has the same members of TV's Team Flash if Barry and Iris [[RoleSwapAU had their roles swapped on a permanent basis]] (and if Wells had been the real deal the whole time).

** Universe-8’s Retaliators: Deadeye– [[ComicBook/GreenArrow Roy Harper]]; Major Max– [[ComicBook/Supergirl1996 Linda Danvers]]; Bug– [[ComicBook/BlueBeetle Ted Kord]]; Stuntmaster– [[ComicBook/InfinityInc Elizabeth Chapel]]; American Crusader– [[ComicBook/{{Guardian}} Jim Harper]]; Lady Bug– ComicBook/LanaLang; Red Dragon– [[Series/Supergirl2015 Alex Danvers]]; Machinehead– [[ComicBook/{{Hardware}} Curtis Metcalf]]; Kite– [[ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} Kendra Saunders]]; Thunderer– [[ComicBook/BlackAdam Theo Adam]].

** Universe-7 has Gray Skull, who's Comicbook/SolomonGrundy accidentally fused with Ethan Avery due to a combination of magic and radiation. Having two minds, one of them amnesiac, in the same body made the creature violent and erratic. It was solved when the sorcerer Dr. Mistery sent Grundy's soul to rest in the afterlife, leaving Avery in full control of the creature.

** Universe-3: The GoodCounterpart of Lex Luthor is described as “[[Film/TheAvengers2012 genius, billionaire, philanthropist]]’’ and a [[Comicbook/IronMan hero wearing a hi-tech armor]].
