14	''Convergence'' is a comic-book event published by Creator/DCComics that replaces the "standard" DCU releases for April-May 2015, comprising a nine-issue weekly series telling the main story, and 40 two-issue monthly miniseries exploring what else is happening.
15
16	The event sees Brainiac using his access to the Vanishing Point to pluck cities out of three eras of DC history that predate the ComicBook/New52: the pre-''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' era, the pre-''ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime'' era, and the pre-''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}}'' era.[[note]]The pre-''Zero Hour'' era and the pre-''Flashpoint'' era are from the same version of the DC universe, just at different points in time.[[/note]] Additionally, he also captured cities from various {{Alternate Universe}}s from the DC [[TheMultiverse Multiverse]], such as the Creator/TangentComics universe, the Creator/{{Wildstorm}} universe, and the ''Flashpoint'' universe. With 40 captive cities in total, Brainiac takes them to the mysterious world of Telos within domes, to observe them. But when [[ComicBook/TheNew52FuturesEnd Brainiac mysteriously vanishes when attempting to gain yet another city from a doomed timeline]], [[GeniusLoci Telos itself]] releases them to see which world deserves to live amongst them all. The ensuing chaos sees a massive conflict that pits hero against hero and spans decades of continuity.

70	The event is notable for bringing back the pre-''Flashpoint'' versions of [[Franchise/TheDCU DCU]] heroes, as well as bringing an end to the ComicBook/New52 banner ahead of the then-incoming DC You relaunch (though 25 titles maintained their numbering and continuity).
71
72	There were three comic series that spun off from the event:
73	** ''ComicBook/SupermanLoisAndClark'', which chronicled the stories of pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Superman's family (including Lois and their son) on Prime Earth
74	** ''Telos'', which visited the title character following the events of Covergence
75	** ''ComicBook/{{Titans Hunt\|2015}}'', which re-integrated a secret Titans history into the post-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} world.
76
77	----
78
79	!!Tropes in this event include:
80
81	[[folder:''Convergence: Superman'']]
82	* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:At the very end, Lois and Clark become the proud parents of Jonathon Samuel Clark.]]
83	* BroughtDownToNormal: What happened to Clark under the dome, which is Trope/Averted soon after when the domes are opened.
84	* HappilyMarried: Clark and Lois.
85	* LetsYouAndHimFight: Something that Superman tries to avoid but it inevitably occurs with the ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} heroes.
86	* ShoutOut: Superman becomes ComicBook/{{Batman}} and Lois his Oracle.
87	[[/folder]]
88	* AbortedArc: {{Subverted\|Trope}}. The series revolves around taking certain arcs that were aborted by the ComicBook/New52 and giving them completion they didn't originally receive before.
89	* AdaptationalWimp:
90	** Those unfamiliar with [[{{ComicBook/Batgirl\|2000}} her stint as Batgirl]] would be forgiven for thinking Cassandra Cain was just a pretty standard BadassNormal instead of someone more skilled than Batman in physical combat. Steph describes her as such, but it's still a case of ShowDontTell.
91	** The pre-Flashpoint Wally West, the character who vies with any version of Barry Allen for the title of the Fastest Man Alive, has a lot of trouble with Flashpoint Wonder Woman. She keeps pace, but he drops her with a half-lightspeed kick in the end. Wally has previously hit a Superman-level opponent at lightspeed with the concentrated force of a supernova and dropped him in one punch (and his greatest speed feats involve being fast enough to empty cities in picoseconds, as well as outrunning time, death and the universe), can drain the speed from others (making himself faster in the process) and if we assume Wally just stopped caring, can vibrate through people and cause their molecules to explode.
92	* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: This was set to be DC's answer to ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'', though it ended around the time Marvel's comic event starts.
93	* AlternateSelf: This event features multiple versions of characters from DC's pre-ComicBook/New52 timelines/universes meeting each other and the people they know.
94	* AlternateUniverse: Brainiac has been collecting fragments from timelines and universes that have "ended" together on one world -- i.e., every DC timeline and AU prior to the ComicBook/New52 -- and Telos decides to let them meet. Featured are:
95	** The pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} DCU.
96	** The pre-ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime DCU.
97	** The pre-ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths DCU.
98	** The [[ComicBook/TheNew52FuturesEnd Future's End]] timeline of 35 years later.
99	** The ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} timeline.
100	** The ComicBook/DCOneMillion timeline.
101	** The pre-Crisis future of the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes.
102	** The post-Zero Hour future of the Legion [[note]]But not really. The team featured wore costumes similar to the post-Zero Hour Legion -and- Batch sw6 from the "Glorithverse", but featured a line-up that didn't match either version of the team and were depicted in a manner out-of-character for either version[[/note]].
103	** Pre-Crisis Earth-2, home to the ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica.
104	** Pre-Crisis Earth-3, the MirrorUniverse of the Crime Syndicate of America.
105	** Pre-Crisis Earth-4, home to the Creator/CharltonComics heroes -- ComicBook/BlueBeetle, ComicBook/CaptainAtom, and ComicBook/TheQuestion.
106	** Pre-Crisis Earth-S, home to [[Comicbook/{{Shazam}} the Marvel Family]].
107	** Pre-Crisis Earth-X, where the Nazis won World War II, home to Quality Comics characters Comicbook/PlasticMan and the ComicBook/{{Freedom Fighters\|DCComics}}.
108	** Pre-Crisis Earth-6, home to Lady Quark and Lord Volt.
109	** Pre-Crisis Bizarro World.
110	** Earth-A, where the Justice League was corrupted into the Lawless League.
111	** Earth-C, home to Comicbook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew
112	** Earth-C Minus, home to the Justa Lotta Animals, FunnyAnimal counterparts to the Justice League.
113	** Comicbook/JustImagineStanLeeCreatingTheDCUniverse.
114	** The Comicbook/SupermanAndBatmanGenerations universe.
115	** The Comicbook/KingdomCome universe.
116	** The Creator/{{Wildstorm}} universe.
117	** The Creator/TangentComics universe.
118	** The Comicbook/BatmanVampire universe.
119	** The Gotham by Gaslight universe.
120	** The [[Comicbook/SupermanRedSon Red Son]] universe.
121	** The Justice Riders universe.
122	** The ComicBook/InjusticeGodsAmongUs universe.
123	** The WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond universe.
124	** The world of Superman-Red and Superman-Blue.
125	** The anti-matter universe of Qward.
126	** Creator/JackKirby's DC future, featuring Comicbook/{{Kamandi}}.
127	** The post-apocalyptic future of Hex.
128	** The original future of the Atomic Knights.
129	** The world of Casey the Cop.
130	** Pre-Crisis Kandor.
131	** Angor, home to the Extremists.
132	** Skataris, home to the Warlord.
133	** The New 52's ComicBook/Earth2, where younger versions of the original Earth-2's heroes arose in the modern day.
134	* AmbiguousEnding:
135	** ''Convergence: Crime Syndicate'' #2. [[spoiler:While some of the Crime Syndicate is shown in the main ''Convergence'' title, the ending of the second issue leaves it unclear as to who won the battle, Superwoman or the Justice Legion's Wonder Woman. For that matter, the fates of the rest of the Justice Legion are left unclear.]]
136	** The ending of ''Convergence: World's Finest Comics'' #2. Is the Vigilante dead? Will the Crimson Avenger survive? And what exactly happens to Scribbly and the Shining Knight?
137	* AnyoneCanDie:
138	** The deaths come thick and fast, and surprisingly some A-list characters perish without any more comment than mooks. In ''Convergence'' #3, [[spoiler:the pre-''Flashpoint'' Joker]] is killed in as dramatic a fashion as the reader might expect, but only a few pages earlier, [[spoiler:the pre-Flashpoint Riddler is blown up with a group of relatively minor Batman villains without any indication he might be more of a 'celebrity' than any of them]].
139	** Possibly the entire Seven Soldiers of Victory, minus the Star-Spangled Kid in ''Convergence: World's Finest Comics'' #2. Green Arrow and Speedy fall to their deaths, and once the dome covers Metropolis, Stripesy dies of pneumonia. The fate of Vigilante and Crimson Avenger is ambiguous, though Vigilante is sure they can't survive the fight with the Qwardians, and both he and Crimson Avenger are in bad shape when last we see them. Shining Knight and Scribbly may or may not be going to their deaths as the issue ends. ''World's Finest'' is one of the more downbeat books to come out of the series.
140	* TheAtoner:
141	** Pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Arsenal in ''Convergence: Titans'' is making a better attempt to atone for his actions after he was maimed by Prometheus and his daughter Lian died.
142	** Pre-ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime Hal Jordan is this as well. Getting depowered by the dome brought Hal back to his senses and he's legitimately regretful for what he did as Parallax. Unfortunately, the minute the dome comes down and his abilities come back, he goes nuts once again.
143	** The Vampire Batman in ''Convergence: Swamp Thing'' seeks redemption by teaming up with Swamp Thing in banishing the vampires from his Gotham City. After eliminating the queen vampire and thereby turning every vampire back to being human (except for Vampire Batman), Batman allows himself to die under sunlight.
144	** Superwoman of the Crime Syndicate has taken her time on death row to reflect on how she's spent her life, and realizes that both herself and the rest of the Syndicate wasted their lives in the pursuit of crime. [[spoiler:She fights the Wonder Woman of Justice Legion Alpha for the sake of saving the Metropolis of her world in an attempt to fully atone for her actions and be the hero she now understands she could have been.]]
145	* AwfulWeddedLife: In ''Convergence: Supergirl: Matrix'', Lord Quark and Lady Volt do almost nothing but argue and insult one another, although Lady Quark actually does most of the insulting. Matrix seems to think this is because the two of them are actually gay and have been stuck in an ArrangedMarriage, although as Matrix puts it it's kind of obvious just by listening to them.
146	* BackFromTheDead: A few previously dead characters are apparently being revived thanks to this event. Some, like Kole, are brought back only because they've been pulled from their timelines before their canonical deaths, while others, like Lian Harper, seem to be flat out resurrected.
147	** The Flashpoint versions of Batman and Captain Thunder are stranger examples, in that they seem to remember actually dying but have somehow been revived with their timeline.
148	** Pre-Crisis Supergirl is brought back from before her death, only to learn about her eventual fate.
149	* BadassArmFold: In the sixth issue, pre-Crisis ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'' [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H4TEDswpasA/VVSRiY45AoI/AAAAAAAAkFs/qVTGnStVQlU/s1600/conv%2B6-12.jpg folds her arms as she stares down at the enemy army]].
150	* BadassBoast: Oracle at the end of ''Convergence: Nightwing/Oracle'' #1 regarding how to deal with Flashpoint Hawkman and Hawkgirl and why she didn't go with Nightwing to fight them.
151	-->'''Oracle''': They have eyes everywhere. They're listening to everything we say. I know that technique. I ''invented'' that technique. The reason I couldn't go with you to fight in the rocks to the north...? It's because I'm BARBARA FREAKING GORDON. Also known as '''Oracle'''. And I started fighting them ten minutes ago.
152	* BigBad: Telos, the GeniusLoci on which the story takes place, serves as something of this, having captured the timelines and set them against each other. [[spoiler:Until halfway through the series when the Warlord's old enemy Deimos becomes the new Big Bad.]]
153	* BroadStrokes: Despite the fact that the many tie-in books are meant to be set in defunct eras of the DCU, there are some discrepancies over how the characters are presented here compared to the last time they appeared in said timeline.
154	** In [[http://www.titanstower.com/fabian-nicieza-interview-on-convergence-titans-and-roy-harpers-redemption/ this interview]], Fabian Nicieza stated that the Arsenal seen in ''Convergence: Titans'' did not fall as further down from grace as he did when he was in Deathstroke's team.
155	** ComicBook/{{Superboy}} is from the pre-''ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime'' era, but his status quo in the ''Convergence: Superboy'' tie-in seems to pick up from his [[ComicBook/{{Superboy}} solo series]] circa the year 2000: he has the name Kon-El, is based at Cadmus Labs with Dubbilex and Dr Serling Roquette, and possesses several Kryptonian abilities that he'd never have developed if he was still [[NeverGrewUp locked at age 16]]. Also, he is flat out stated to be a Kryptonian-human hybrid, while his pre-''Teen Titans'' story was that he was a human clone with Kryptonian engineering.
156	** The descriptions and depictions of the different universes after [[spoiler:the restoration of the multiverse]] aren't completely consistent with how the worlds were established in their respective continuities. One example is ''ComicBook/BatmanInDarkestKnight'', which is stated to have other DC hero mash-ups besides Bruce Wayne becoming Green Lantern of Sector 2814 (such as a fusion of Superman and Martian Manhunter as well as one of Aquaman and The Flash), when the only other heroes shown in the original story besides Green Lantern Batman were versions of Superman, Wonder Woman and Barry Allen who also became Green Lantern Corps recruits.
157	* BroughtDownToNormal: A number of heroes and villains are left powerless after their cities were domed, including pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Wally West and pre-Zero Hour Kyle Rayner and pre-[[ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths COIE]] Wonder Woman. Once the domes are removed, their powers snap back on. Even heroes who relied solely on technology have been depowered, in the sense that their weapons don't work. Pre-Flashpoint Batman and Robin can still use their gadgets, but Arsenal's cybernetic arm stopped working and the Atom's belt could no longer shrink him.\
158	\
159	This is inconsistent -- ''Justice League International'' has the fully robotic Red Tornado, who clearly has all his powers. ''Shazam'' sees Bulletman and Bulletgirl stepping in as Fawcett City's protectors since their gravity regulator helmets still work. And Ray Palmer, though he could not shrink or grow as the Atom, still had a superpower in his book; albeit with only the nigh-useless ability to make one of his hands grow very large. It seems that for some characters, like Red Tornado and Mr. Freeze, their technology and gadgetry was left untouched because they ever need it to survive or it's fundamentally ingrained in them.
160	* TheBusCameBack: The series is basically all about this trope, as characters from the [[ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths pre-Crisis multiverse]], the pre-''ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime'' universe, the pre-''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}}'' DCU, and the ''Flashpoint'' timeline itself [[LetsYouAndHimFight meet and fight]].\
161	\
162	Perhaps the most notable example of which is the ''World's Finest'' tie-in, which focuses on some of the truly forgotten characters. The champion is the Sir Justin a.k.a The Shining Knight, who is usually one of the more overlooked members of the ''ComicBook/SevenSoldiersOfVictory'', but its narrative focus is on friggin' '''Scribbly The Boy Cartoonist''', who had previously been completely eclipsed by the original ComicBook/RedTornado -- Ma Hunkle, a housewife who dressed up as a male superhero.
163	* BusCrash: Many of said characters returning from the other DC eras will not survive the event. [[spoiler:The Justice Riders are killed at the beginning of the ''Convergence: Nightwing/Oracle'' series]].
164	* ButchLesbian: Lady Quark in ''Convergence: Supergirl - Matrix'' is a lesbian who comes across as butch because of how aggressive she acts.
165	* CallForward: The ''Infinity Inc'' story ends with the founding of the "Justice Society Infinity" -- the combined JSA/II team from the post-''Comicbook/InfiniteCrisis'' version of Earth-2.
166	* CampGay: Lord Volt in ''Convergence: Supergirl - Matrix'', Lady Quark's husband, comes across as this but in a subdued way that can be attributed to his eloquent speech.
167	* CanonCharacterAllAlong: Telos is eventually revealed to be a human transformed into his current state by Brainiac, with his self-titled spinoff miniseries revealing that his true identity is [[spoiler:ComicBook/ArakSonOfThunder]].
168	* CerebusRetcon: This event reveals that Brainiac has never been subjected to the retcons that have repeatedly altered the DC Universe. He is a being existing outside of time and space ever since ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', and just about every version of him seen since his first appearance have been more or less puppet constructs acting out his will.
169	* TheChessmaster: In ''Convergence: Titans'' #1, Dreamslayer of the Extremists sees himself as one. He recognizes that this whole situation is making pawns out of the heroes and villains, and he'd prefer to be the one manipulating said pawns. True to his word, he pits pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Arsenal against Troia and Starfire by resurrecting Lian Harper and using her as leverage.
170	* CosmicRetcon: ''Convergence'' #8 causes [[spoiler:the events of ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' to be rewritten, so the pre-Crisis multiverse comes back with the addition of the worlds added post-''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''. However, this doesn't rewrite any of the universes' continuities, and they keep going as they were beforehand, and the incarnations of Earth 2 and the like from the ''New 52'' are kept as "evolved" versions of their prior selves, replacing the earlier versions]].
171	* ContinuityRebooter: [[spoiler:Pre-''ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime'' Parallax and Pre-''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}}'' Superman volunteer to be sent to the past in place of the DoomedByCanon Pre-''Crisis'' Supergirl and Pre-''Crisis'' Barry Allen. This results in a dramatic change in the outcome of the first ''ComicBook/{{Crisis\|OnInfiniteEarths}}'']].
172	* ContrivedCoincidence: It's amazing how many heroes who aren't normally based in Gotham or Metropolis just happened to be in the city taken by Brainiac at exactly the right time.
173	* CrazyPrepared: Arsenal in ''Convergence: Titans''. Since being trapped in Gotham, he didn't just use the Wayne Foundation money to create Lian's Place and create his own surveillance hub, he also installed weaponry and defense systems throughout Gotham in case of an emergency.
174	* CurbStompBattle:
175	** [[spoiler:The ''Injustice'' dome is destroyed by Telos, claiming it to be a failed experiment. Superman didn't stand a chance]].
176	** [[spoiler:Electropolis versus Parallax. They get in a hit or two, but basically they have no chance against a man who once destroyed the universe and remade it. He wipes them out]].
177	** [[spoiler:Deimos versus Parallax. Hal kills him in an almost casual manner]].
178	* DeadGuyJunior: In ''Convergence: Superman'' #2, Superman and Lois name their son Jonathan Samuel Kent in honor of their fathers. Jonathan is obviously the name of Clark's adoptive father but the fact that they named their son Samuel after Lois' father, who was responsible for the destruction of [[ComicBook/NewKrypton New Krypton]] makes this especially poignant.
179	* DisneyDeath: The first half of the ''Crime Syndicate'' tie-in miniseries has the Syndicate appear to fail in their attempt to rescue Superwoman from being electrocuted, but in the second half she appears alive and well to participate in the Crime Syndicate's fight with [[ComicBook/DCOneMillion Justice Legion Alpha]], explaining that when everyone's powers were restored, this included her immortality and enabled her to come back to life after she was given the chair.
180	* DumbBlonde: In ''Convergence: Supergirl - Matrix'' #1, Matrix Supergirl is very ditzy. At one point in a fit of anger, she hurls away the device Luthor gave her to monitor the domes.
181	-->Matrix: ''Omigod! The gizmo! [[BuffySpeak It found... whatever!]] I just threw away my only chance of ever getting off this world!''
182	* EarnYourHappyEnding:
183	** The writers have stated that many of the previous status quos will receive closure. Examples:
184	*** Superman and Lois have their [[BabiesEverAfter first baby]] and name him after [[DeadGuyJunior Clark's father.]]
185	*** Both Stephanie Brown and Barbara Gordon ''finally'' get their HappilyEverAfter with Tim and Dick. We see Babs and Dick's wedding and Tim and Steph almost have TheirFirstTime before injuries force them to decide to [[LetsWaitAWhile wait a while]].
186	*** Dreamslayer pulls a NiceJobFixingItVillain that allows Roy Harper to finally have his daughter, Lian, BackFromTheDead. Lian has no idea what Roy has been through since she died, but the happiness one can feel for the character is unreal.
187	** The series as a whole has an overtly happy ending: [[spoiler:the ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' is averted, the original Multiverse is reborn, Telos' prisoners are freed, the ComicBook/Earth2 survivors find a new planet to call home and Brainiac and Telos attain some measure of redemption]].
188	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In ''Convergence: Green Lantern - Parallax'' #2, Hal/Parallax is very pissed when the Electropolis' princess and her army attack Kyle.
189	* EvenEvilHasStandards:
190	** In ''Convergence: Batman and Robin'', Poison Ivy of the pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Gotham has been making sure the city doesn't starve by growing crops for the population. And she's disgusted that the Penguin would try to make a profit off the food she's been making given the situation Gotham's in.
191	** [[spoiler:''Telos'' of all people pulls one on the pre-flashpoint Joker. After snapping the neck of the clown, Telos proceeds to call him a "vile creature", and a "plague in every timeline"]].
192	** The Pre-Crisis Crime Syndicate see themselves as this. It's clarified that, while they're lawbreakers, they've never intended to actually hurt anyone and were not killers. This actually plays upon their deaths in ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' where they tried to save Earth-Three, and in ''ComicBook/AnimalMan'' when Ultraman finds himself utterly disgusted by his alternate world counterpart Overman and tries to stop his rampage.
193	* ExtremeDoormat: In ''Convergence: Supergirl - Matrix'' #1, Matrix just seems to roll with whatever insult Lex Luthor throws at her. [[TheDogBitesBack However, being called an imbecilic mass of shapeshifting protoplasmic goo one too many times eventually causes Matrix to eventually thrash Luthor.]]
194	* FaceHeelTurn: In ''Convergence'' #6, [[spoiler:Superman and the rest of the heroes from ComicBook/KingdomCome. While the story they come from arguably ended the Dark Age of Comics and brought back idealistic heroes, these versions agree to serve the openly tyrannical Deimos and fight the heroes of ComicBook/Earth2 if it means their own city surviving]]. This is turned back immediately after [[spoiler:Parallax murders Deimos]], as they had no reason to be evil anymore.
195	* FixFic: The series undid much of the damage created by ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueCryForJustice'', ''Rise of Arsenal'' and ''[[ComicBook/TeenTitans Titans: Villains for Hire]]'' towards Arsenal, Lian Harper, and the fourth [[ComicBook/TheAtom Atom]] Ryan Choi.
196	** ''Convergence: The Atom'' resurrected Ryan Choi by revealing part of him was trapped in the subatomic universe after his death at the hands of Deathstroke's team. Ray Palmer is able to give Ryan a new body by sacrificing the mass in his hand, and Deathstroke gets the crap kicked out of him after the previous ''Titans'' volume ended with him being a KarmaHoudini for Ryan's death.
197	** ''Convergence: Titans'' featured Arsenal trying to atone for his past actions after he became a heroin-abusing knife wielding antihero following his mutilation and the death of his daughter Lian at the hands of Prometheus. Along the way his friendship and good standing with the rest of the Titans is restored, and Lian is revived by way of being pulled out of the timestream by the villain Dreamslayer from just before her death. As an added bonus, WordOfGod proclaims that Roy's worst actions while on Deathstroke's team had been erased.
198	* ForcedToWatch: Telos kept the ComicBook/New52 ComicBook/Earth2 heroes as his unwilling audience to watch him forcing the denizens of the domes to fight each other to the death. However, the Earth 2 heroes manages to break free when Telos was too occupied in pitting the heroes of [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/JustImagineStanLeeCreatingTheDCUniverse Just Imagine]] against the cyborgs of [[ComicBook/TheNew52FuturesEnd the Futures End]] timeline]].
199	* ForcefulKiss: ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Aquaman plants a kiss on pre-Flashpoint Mera, who she then slaps him on the mouth. He doesn't actually mind this at all, as she is no different from ''his'' Mera.
200	* ForeseeingMyDeath:
201	** In ''Convergence: Adventures of Superman'' #1, Pre-Crisis Supergirl sees her life and death at the hands of the Anti-Monitor while in the Phantom Zone, and it haunts her for the rest of the story.
202	** In ''Convergence: The Flash'' #2, Barry Allen learns the circumstances of his death from Creator/{{Tangent\|Comics}} Superman.
203	* ForgotAboutHisPowers:
204	** In ''Convergence: Speed Force'' #2, Wally West is drawn into a fight with ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Wonder Woman and can't get her to stop hitting him or chasing him... except Wally has the ability to drain speed from others, effectively making them statues if he goes all out. And you can't even say this was him before he gained that ability, because his children exist, and he had that power before they were born.
205	** In ''Convergence: Crime Syndicate'' #2, the Batman of ComicBook/DCOneMillion is seen rappelling down a bottomless pit, seemingly falling to his death when the rope he was holding onto snapped. Which would all make sense if it weren't for the fact that, as shown in ''Nightwing'' #1000000, he can fly.
206	* GladiatorGames: What Telos appears to want the event to be: a way to weed out the less-worthy incarnations of each characters to produce a new reality with only the best aspects.
207	* GrandFinale: It is essentially the ending to the pre-''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}}'' DC Universe. [[spoiler:However, thanks to the ending bringing the multiverse back from the brink of collapse, it has been confirmed the pre-Flashpoint universe still exists, and it's possible we'll see it again.]]
208	* GreaterScopeVillain: Brainiac serves as this, as the reason for why Telos is doing what it's doing. Telos even refers to him as "the master", as he is in charge of every other Brainiac.
209	* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:Jonathan Samuel Kent, Superman and Lois' son in the pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} universe, who is half human and half kryptonian.]]
210	* HappilyMarried: Post-Crisis Superman and Lois Lane. Katar and Shayera Hol are Happily Married as well, and they also qualify as a BattleCouple.
211	* HeelFaceTurn:
212	** The pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Emil Hamilton was last seen under arrest for his actions as MadScientist Ruin. Here, he is working on S.T.A.R. Labs project to help pierce the dome surrounding Gotham City. Keep in mind Hamilton has gone through the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor quite a few times.
213	** Also, there is [[spoiler:Telos, who after learning of his true past of being an actual person rather than a living planet who was enslaved by Brainiac, decided to help the heroes against Deimos and declaring that all the captive cities should not die]].
214	** Superwoman in ''Convergence: Crime Syndicate'', after reflecting on much of her life while on death row. [[spoiler:And later during her fight with Wonder Woman from ''ComicBook/DCOneMillion'', where she specifically wishes to save her city as a means of atonement for her criminal deeds and the accidental death of philanthropist Bruno Mannheim.]]
215	* HesBack: Oracle, who had been retconned away into being a never-crippled Batgirl. Not just in the meta-sense, either. Much of her internal monologue throughout the issue deals with her growing despair and losing the will to fight. Come the end, though, after the Hawks present their ultimatum...
216	* HollywoodPudgy: Power Girl in ''Convergence: Action Comics" has lost her super metabolism with the rest of her powers, combined with BigEater tendencies this has caused her to gain fifteen pounds in less than a year, having to take up aerobics in a vain attempt to lose it. However, she still looks as lean and fit as she did in flashbacks to her prime.
217	* HowWeGotHere: ''Convergence: Suicide Squad'' #1 begins with Amanda Waller, who is badly wounded, with the Kingdom Come Green Lantern (Alan Scott) remorsefully overlooking her [[spoiler:until someone, later revealed to be Captain Boomerang, emerges from the shadows, and shoots Waller]].
218	* IChooseToStay: At the end of ''Convergence: Shadow of the Bat'' #2, Jean-Paul Valley opts to stick around to protect Metropolis while Batman goes and deals with Telos.
219	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Even though she still loves him, [[Comicbook/TeenTitans Starfire]] encourages Comicbook/{{Nightwing}} to propose to Barbara Gordon in ''Convergence: Nightwing/Oracle'' #1
220	* InSpiteOfANail: In ''Convergence'' #8, [[spoiler:ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths is altered so that all the alternate Earths weren't destroyed]]. The result of this is... [[spoiler:the post-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} 52 universes exactly as before, only with a greater continuity to the previous versions. (We're shown that, for example, pre-Crisis Earth-2 is the same as the ''Justice Society Infinity'' Earth-2 from the multiverse created in ''ComicBook/FiftyTwo'', which then becomes the post-Flashpoint ''ComicBook/Earth2''.)]]
221	* InvoluntaryBattleToTheDeath: Telos forces this on a wide variety of heroes, who don't want to kill each other. [[HalfwayPlotSwitch Halfway into the story]], this is mostly thrown out.
222	* {{Jerkass}}: Nearly all the characters from the ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} universe (a CrapsackWorld to be sure) with the only exception of [[TheWoobie Superman]]. Batman and Abin Sur are more JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
223	* KnowWhenToFoldEm: In ''Convergence: The Flash'' #2, the Creator/{{Tangent\|Comics}} Superman willingly chooses to surrender to the Earth-One era Barry Allen after he sees through Barry's future and his impact he has on the Multiverse such as the ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', which he realizes that if he eliminates Barry then he will doom the Multiverse and all of continuity.
224	-->'''Tangent Superman''': "One city for another? A grim moral choice. One city for ALL creation? For the Multiverse? It is only a matter of scale, but the scale matters."
225	* TheLeader: Post-Crisis Superman. When all the heroes start to gather on Telos in ''Convergence'' #6, everyone defers to him. There's no jockeying for position or assertion of authority. Superman just starts speaking and making suggestions, and everyone else carries them out.
226	* LetsYouAndHimFight: The premise sees various characters being forced to battle characters from across the Multiverse such as the pre-''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}}'' ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica battling the ''Flashpoint'' ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}, and the pre-''Flashpoint'' ComicBook/GothamCitySirens battling ComicBook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew.
227	* LighterAndSofter: Many incarnations of past characters come across as this compared to how they're portrayed in the ''ComicBook/New52''.
228	* LongestPregnancyEver: The pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Jesse Quick was revealed to be pregnant shortly before her timeline was rebooted. ''Convergence: Justice League'' #1 opens with Supergirl bringing her to the hospital and Jesse giving birth to a healthy baby. Keep in mind, the reveal that she was pregnant was ''four years ago''.
229	* LovingAShadow:
230	** Because the Flashpoint Mera died before ''Convergence'' began, Flashpoint Aquaman is looking at her counterparts to find a suitable replacement. He's settled on the pre-Flashpoint Mera in ''Convergence: Justice League''.
231	** The Flashpoint Superman, Subject-One, does the same thing with the pre-Flashpoint Lois Lane. He's convinced she's his version of Lois and wants only to save her.
232	* TheManBehindTheMan: Brainiac is revealed to be a monstrous alien intellect operating through drones and constructs. This reveal was used in earlier Superman stories to explain the contradicting appearances Brainiac made throughout the DC Universe, only now they're saying that Brainiac has been operating this way ever since his debut in UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age\|OfComicBooks}}.
233	* MassTeleportation: Brainiac uses the Vanishing Point to capture various cities from various multiverses and timelines and put them on one planet.
234	* MetaphorIsMyMiddleName: The Jay Garrick of the ''ComicBook/Earth2'' continuity jokes that "careful" and "lucky" are his middle names.
235	* MistakenForGay: In ''Convergence: The Question'' #2, Huntress by Batwoman, who is jealous that she lives with her ex, Renee Montoya. After clarifying the misunderstanding, Batwoman admits to being embarrassed.
236	* MustMakeAmends: Parallax wants to go back and help prevent the destruction of the original Multiverse in order to find some redemption.
237	* MythologyGag: As mentioned above, Batwoman thinks that Huntress and Renee Montoya a.k.a. the Question are a couple. In the ''[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice League Unlimited]]'' cartoon, Huntress dated Renee's male predecessor as the Question, Vic Sage.
238	* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
239	** In ''Convergence: Superman'' #1, the pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Superman's attempts to reason with Captain Thunder and the Flashpoint versions of Cyborg and Abin Sur are foiled when the pre-Flashpoint Jimmy Olsen, wanting to help Superman, attacks the Flashpoint heroes with an armed aircraft.
240	** In ''Convergence'' #7, [[spoiler:Parallax kills Deimos but this let loose of all the powers Deimos had drained from the time travellers to '''BREAK''' all of reality apart]].
241	* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: In ''Convergence'' #8, [[spoiler:Superman and his family from the pre-''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}}'' universe, Supergirl and Barry Allen from the Silver Age, and Hal Jordan from the pre-''ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime'' universe travel to the past and prevent the ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' from happening in the first place. Their actions are not shown, but their efforts are successful and ensure the rebirth of the multiverse]].
242	* TheOneGuy: In the ''Justice League'' tie-in, Congorilla is the sole male in an otherwise all-female Justice League team, though he doesn't get to participate in the fight with Flashpoint Aquaman due to staying at home to look after Jesse Quick's infant son.
243	* OutsideContextProblem: Deimos to Telos and Brainiac. Largely confined to Skartaris in previous storylines, neither the Convergence villains nor most of the readers have any reason to know who Deimos is. The readers aware of ''The Warlord,'' however, got to see what Deimos was like without Travis Morgan in his way.
244	* PapaWolf: In ''Convergence: Titans''. When Lian is brought BackFromTheDead by Dreamslayer of the Extremists, Roy is given the ultimatum of choosing between his daughter and the Titans. Roy basically says "Screw that!" and manages to save Lian without betraying his friends. What's more, Roy [[spoiler:reveals he outfitted the domed Gotham City with secret gun ports as a line of defense and sends the Extremists running with their tails between their legs. And keep in mind that the Extremists are responsible for destroying whole planets ''and'' they're ersatz versions of [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Doctor Doom]], [[ComicBook/DoctorStrange Dormammu]], [[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} Sabertooth]], [[ComicBook/XMen Magneto]], and [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Doctor Octopus]]. Roy basically schooled alternate versions of some of the deadliest villains in comic book history because he would ''not'' let them use his daughter or his friends as leverage]].
245	* PowerNullifier: The domes act as this, cutting people off from their power sources for approximately a year (though ComicBook/New52 ComicBook/Earth2 is exempt).
246	* PregnantHostage: Pre-Flashpoint Lois Lane is pregnant with ComicBook/{{Superman}}'s child ([[LawOfInverseFertility which would normally be impossible]]), only to be captured by his counterpart from the ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}}'' universe, who's slightly crazy after watching the Lois from his world die.
247	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In ''Convergence: Speed Force'' #2, Wally delivers this to ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Wonder Woman after trying in vain to reason with her. Diana promises that he and his son will die and his daughter will serve in her army. He accuses her of being the worst version of Diana in any universe and that she does not really know what love is. Wally defeats her with help of his kids.
248	* ReplacementGoldfish: Pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Mera and Lois Lane to the Flashpoint Aquaman and Superman respectively. Aquaman tries to force Mera into accepting him, and while Superman (Subject-One) comes across as kind of creepy, he really thinks this Lois is ''his'' Lois and only wants to protect her.
249	* RetCanon: In ''Convergence: Infinity Inc'', the Earth-2 version of Obsidian is written as in a TransparentCloset. This doesn't ''exactly'' contradict anything in the original ''Comicbook/InfinityInc'' (you can just say the closet was less transparent then), but is pretty clearly a backport of the post-Crisis version being AmbiguouslyGay in the mid-nineties Gerard Jones run on ''[[Comicbook/JusticeLeagueInternational Justice League America]]'' and finally stated as such in the 00s ''Comicbook/{{JSA}}''.
250	* {{Retcon}}: ''Convergence: Plastic Man and the Freedom Fighters'' retcons ComicBook/PlasticMan into being one of Earth-X's ComicBook/{{Freedom Fighters\|DCComics}}, when he'd never previously been a member [[note]]Plas and the members of the Freedom Fighters are all Quality Comics characters, so including Plas on Earth-X makes it fully a Quality Comics world.[[/note]].
251	* RoguesGalleryShowcase: A whole slew of pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} ComicBook/{{Batman}} villains turn up to fight Thomas Wayne in ''Convergence'' #3 including Professor Pyg, Man Bat, Dr Hurt, Una Nemo, Mr. Zsasz, [[spoiler:the Joker]].
252	* SanitySlippage: In ''Convergence: The Atom'' #1, Pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Ray Palmer has been hearing a voice in his head that may or may not be Ryan Choi's and has been acting considerably loopy ever since he was trapped in Gotham.
253	* SecondaryCharacterTitle: The main character of ''Convergence: Adventures of ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' is the Pre-Crisis Supergirl. Superman himself is the {{Deuteragonist}}.
254	* SeriesContinuityError:
255	** There are a number of these scattered throughout the tie-in issues, mostly fairly minor, but they do stand out to those familiar with the time period in question.
256	*** Captain Marvel is referred to as "Shazam" several times, despite the fact that his name was not changed to Shazam until the ComicBook/New52.
257	*** Both pre-Crisis Barry Allen and Jay Garrick refer to the Speed Force, something neither of them should have any knowledge of since the concept wasn't created until the post-Crisis Wally West Flash series. Barry's opponent, Tangent Comics Superman, mentions this.
258	*** 90s hook-handed Aquaman is pining for Mera, but the two of them were separated and not on good terms at all during that time period.
259	*** Kyle Rayner's ring talks to him and welcomes him back to the Green Lantern Corps, but the Corps was disbanded when he first became a GL (and while he did make some attempts at re-forming the Corps, the Green Lantern Corps wouldn't be successfully restarted until after Hal Jordan was resurrected at the start of Creator/GeoffJohns' run), and Kyle's ring rarely spoke to him, if ever. He shouldn't know anything about Qward either, having not encountered the Weaponers that early in his career.
260	*** Kyle views Hal and Parallax as two separate entities. This is consistent with the Geoff Johns retcon that made Parallax a fear entity that possessed Hal, but before the retcon, Hal was Parallax. Note that the fear entity never appears or is referenced, and Hal's sanity while depowered is consistent with the post-Zero Hour zero issue of Green Lantern, so this may not be a continuity error so much as an attempt to remain mostly consistent with the past while keeping the retcon in mind.
261	*** The summary of the events of ''ComicBook/EmeraldTwilight'' is wrong. Hal didn't kill all the other Green Lanterns. He defeated them and took their rings, but he left them enough power to survive. And indeed, most of them turn up later on during the Geoff Johns run and are collectively known as the Lost Lanterns. Similarly, Hal didn't kill the Guardians either. They pooled their power and put everything they had into Ganthet, who created a ring for Kyle. Hal absorbed all the power of the central power battery into himself.
262	*** In ''Convergence: Batman and the Outsiders'', Commissioner Gordon has red hair. He should have white hair and a white moustache in any pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} appearance, with the exception of stories like [[ComicBook/BatmanYearOne Year One]] that are set in the past.
263	*** Supergirl is wearing the wrong costume for her death scenes from ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths''.
264	*** [[http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com/2015/04/matrix-called-kara.html Matrix is called Kara by Lex]]. She also calls ''herself'' Kara at one point.
265	*** While the inconsistency could be excused somewhat by the story aiming for a more humorous and irreverent approach, the ''Supergirl: Matrix'' tie-in heavily implies that Lord Volt and Lady Quark are in an AwfulWeddedLife due to being gay and forced into an ArrangedMarriage by their parents, which is at odds with how ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' consistently depicted Lady Quark as genuinely loving her husband and being upset about his death when she became her reality's lone survivor.
266	*** The ''Crime Syndicate'' tie-in miniseries stars the Pre-Crisis Crime Syndicate, but mistakenly uses elements from later incarnations of the Crime Syndicate. Superwoman of Earth-3 is referred to as Lois Lane by several of her fellow Crime Syndicate members and Owlman is addressed as Thomas. Pre-Crisis Earth-3 Lois Lane was a separate character from Superwoman and was the wife of her world's Lex Luthor and Pre-Crisis Owlman never had his civilian identity revealed, with Superwoman and the Crime Syndicate universe's Lois Lane only being one and the same in the Post-Crisis Antimatter Universe Crime Syndicate that was introduced in ''ComicBook/JLAEarth2'', which was also the first incarnation to give Owlman the civilian name of Thomas Wayne, Jr. In addition, Owlman is ragged by Johnny Quick for having no powers (when the Pre-Crisis Owlman actually had mind control abilities and the subsequent versions of Owlman were {{Badass Normal}}s like Batman) and the story features heroic counterparts to the Flash's Rogues called the Rogue Hunters and mentions that Superwoman is sentenced to execution for the death of a benevolent counterpart to Bruno "Ugly" Mannheim, which contradicts that the Pre-Crisis Earth-3 made it clear that the Crime Syndicate were the only super-powered beings in their universe and their world's Lex Luthor was the only confirmed heroic counterpart to a villain from the standard DC Universe.
267	*** Pre-Crisis Captain Atom is referred to as Nathaniel Adam -- the name of the Post-Crisis Captain Atom -- rather than Allen Adam.
268	*** Parallax focuses his power through a ring when he kills Deimos. Parallax has internalized the power of the Main Power Battery and doesn't use a ring. The tie-in issues depict this correctly, it's just the main series that gets it wrong.
269	*** The ''Comicbook/LegionOfSuperheroes'' that battles Earth-4's Charlton heroes seems to be some weird mix of the post-Zero Hour Legion and the pre-Zero Hour temporal duplicates of the original Legion that wore very similar costumes (Batch [=SW6=], who starred in ''Legionnaires''). It includes the characters from ''Legionnaires'' who weren't duplicates of existing characters like Computo and Catspaw, neither of whom appeared in the reboot, but it also includes Timber Wolf and Princess Projectra, neither of whom were in ''Legionnaires'' (their [=SW6=] selves were killed during the Dominator war) and both of whom look like their reboot selves (particularly obvious in Jeckie's case, since it means she's a giant snake). Characters who were dead/radically altered by the end of the reboot aren't, and everyone with different costumes in the two versions is wearing the [=SW6=] version. Except Element Lad, who's wearing his pre-Zero Hour ''adult'' self's costume.
270	*** The status quo of the West family is that of the final issues of Wally's own series. This changed dramatically in ''Flash: Rebirth''. The idea that pre-''Flashpoint'' Gotham was taken before Barry's return (i.e. three years before ''Flashpoint'') doesn't jibe with any of the other stories.
271	** The beginning of ''Convergence'' #6 is baffling when it comes to the continuity of the main DCU. You have the Justice League talking to the Justice League United (which formed after ''ComicBook/ForeverEvil2013''). Okay. Telos, the planet, is being transported into the universe, which has drawn attention of several parties. You have the Oracle being from the Superman books, Nix Uotan from ComicBook/TheMultiversity, and Darkseid taking notice. That's all fine. But you have Jediah Caul and K'rot from the short-lived ''Threshold'' book[[note]]which means this takes place before the finale of said book since Caul ''died'' at the end[[/note]], the Red Lanterns[[note]]which is impossible, since the Corps was slaughtered/depowered shortly after Kara left their ranks; with little time for her to join the JLU '''and''' happen before Atrocitus and ''Godhead''[[/note]], and the ''freaking'' Guardians of the Universe[[note]]who are way beyond dead at this point, unless the Templar Guardians decided to take up their robes at this point... whenever this happens[[/note]]. [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And Blue Beetle is there too, still stuck in space apparently.]] It also might have a continuity hiccup with itself, as the Barry Allen that ComicBook/Earth2 Jay Garrick meets implies he was grabbed after meeting Psycho-Pirate from ''Crisis On Infinite Earths'', which flies in the face of the Barry Allen from his own tie-in, who was taken when he first left the future to say hi to his friends, before he was set on his death course, and was stuck under a dome for a year.
272	* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: [[spoiler:With the death of Deimos at the hands of Parallax, all the temporal energies of the time travellers that Deimos had absorbed were loose, and threatened to make the planet Telos into "the bullet that will destroy the multiverse". To fix this, survive and hopefully return to what he used to be, and to undo the destruction of the Convergence worlds, Brainiac tries to give the loosed temporal energies back to the survivors to restore their worlds. However, the ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' event prevents him, so he has to send Barry Allen and the pre-Crisis Kara Zor-El back to their deaths... then Parallax decides he wants to go, that he wants redemption and be a hero and ''Post-Crisis Superman, Lois Lane and their son join him''. The end result? ''Crisis on Infinite Earths is undone and the multiverse is restored in full.'']]
273	* ShoutOut: In ''World's Finest'', Scribbly, who was originally Sheldon Mayer's AuthorAvatar, reflects on his happy memories, including "Watching kids at play, chattering their baby talk". Mayer was also the creator of ''Comicbook/SugarAndSpike''.
274	* StalkerWithACrush: ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Aquaman is hunting after the pre-Flashpoint Mera to replace ''his'' Mera, who was beheaded by the Flashpoint Wonder Woman.
275	* SuicideByCop: In ''Convergence: Crime Syndicate'' #2, [[spoiler:Owlman allows himself to be killed by the Justice Legion's Wonder Woman. He knows his city will be destroyed if the Crime Syndicate loses their battle, but he's doing it because he believes Metropolis doesn't deserve to live for executing Superwoman. Sadly, he only just realizes Superwoman survived as Wonder Woman breaks his neck.]]
276	* TakeThat:
277	** The title for the first issue in the ''Convergence: Titans'' is "[[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueCryForJustice Try For Justice]]", and its plot seems to aim to [[EarnYourHappyEnding fix]] problems that occurred in the series.
278	** One of the cities that were taken was the version of Gotham City from ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs''. The whole universe is destroyed easily and quickly, and Telos dismisses it as a failed experiment. The irony of ''Injustice's'' popularity and Convergence's irrelevancy makes this HilariousInHindsight.
279	* TakingYouWithMe:
280	** In ''Convergence'' #3, [[spoiler:ComicBook/Earth2 Thomas Wayne blows himself up, killing several of pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Gotham's villains]].
281	** Happens twice in ''Convergence: ComicBook/SuicideSquad'' #2. [[spoiler:First, Star Sapphire to Cyborg Superman to avenge the destruction of Coast City. At the end, Amanda Waller blows herself up to destroy New Oa with Alan Scott and take out Captain Boomerang, who'd turned traitor.]]
282	* ThatManIsDead: In ''Convergence: The Atom'' #1, Pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Deathstroke has been living under a fake name and is trying to make sure his past as Slade Wilson ''stays'' dead, but Ray Palmer repeatedly bringing up how Slade mercilessly slaughtered Ryan Choi pisses him off enough he decides to come out of hiding and silence Ray.
283	* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: If a dome's champions have failed, then everything and everyone inside it will be obliterated. The buildings ''and'' the people fall apart and turn to dust.
284	* ThouShallNotKill: Our heroes from the mainstream universes keep running with this, incapacitating those they're forced to fight with and getting them to join them in their dome in some capacity.
285	* TitleDrop: In the Telos speech that makes reference to other events also.
286	--> Telos: Citizens of my world! I have brought this Convergence upon you. Only one city shall survive, only the strong...
287	* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Convergence: Booster Gold'' #2, Booster Gold was dying due to leaving pieces of himself through time and Rip Hunter had an idea. [[spoiler:He took Pre-ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime Blue Beetle, Pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Michelle Carter and ComicBook/New52 Booster Gold to Vanishing Point in an attempt to save the dying Booster. He had New 52 Booster take the original dying Booster into a secret room and leave him to be merged with the time stream. When he emerged, he was transformed into the new Waverider. Booster, Waverider and Rip Hunter were then instrumental in saving and restoring the multiverse at the conclusion of Convergence]].
288	* UngratefulBastard: The vice-minister and the princess of Electropolis in ''Convergence: Green Lantern - Parallax'' #2. Kyle offers his help to stop Hal/Parallax in exchange for them not attacking Metropolis. But they launch the attack anyway, taking advantage of the fighting between Kyle and Hal.
289	* VillainousRescue:
290	** In ''Convergence'' #3, [[spoiler:ComicBook/Earth2 Dick Grayson is at the mercy of the pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint\|DCComics}} Joker until he is saved by ''Telos'', who wants Dick alive because he demands to know the whereabouts of his Earth-2 companions]].
291	** ''Convergence: Crime Syndicate'' focuses on Superwoman's teammates rescuing her from death row.
292	* WorkingWithTheEx: Pre-Flaspoint Batwoman and Renee Montoya alias The Question in ''Convergence: The Question'' #2. Kate was originally introduced as a love interest and past girlfriend of Renee Montoya.
293	* WouldHarmAChild: In ''Convergence: Titans'', Dreamslayer is more than happy to resurrect and use Lian Harper to force her father into fighting his friends. He keeps his hands on her throat and caresses her cheek to demonstrate he's in control, so he quite literally has her life in his hands.
