     The meaning behind Booster Gold's ramblings 
Some of them are very easy to decipher but others are more ambiguous. Here are some guesses for the not so obvious ones.
  • The War In The Heavens- Could deal with Lucifer or Mephisto getting up to something, Could introduce Ghost Rider to the stories, Could introduce Spawn, Could introduce the Spectre or show the Day of Judgement story
    • It could be A Day in the Limelight for the Spectre, showing him interacting with angels and demons from various properties.
  • The Great Darkness- Could show the Blackest Night story, Could introduce Darkseid, Could introduce the Darkness from Witchblade and other associated characters
    • Could be referring to the embodiment of all evil in the (DC) multiverse from the Swamp Thing comics. The Snap may have attracted its attention.
  • Magic Under Siege- Could show the Day of Vengeance story, Could follow up on Amora's schemes, Could show the Doctor Strange story about magic being destroyed
  • Paradise No More- A Wonder Woman focused story
    • It could be a sort of adaptation of the Justice League episode of the same name, where the Amazons are turned to stone by Felix Faust.
      • It could take place on Earth-51.
  • The Future Is Metal- Could show the Dark Nights Metal story, Could focus on the Transformers
    • It could bring the Metal Men into the story, and possibly crossover with a future and robot/cyborg focused franchise such as The Terminator, RoboCop, or Astro Boy.
    • It could also refer to Ultron's current status in Tomorrow's Guardians.
  • Excalibur Returns- Could follow up on the Merlin characters, could introduce the Excalibur team
  • Hell on Earth- Could show the Inferno story, Could feature Spawn, Could introduce Hellboy
  • The Ghost Walks Again- Could feature Ghost Rider, Could introduce The Phantom or Deadman, Gentleman Ghost, and the Spectre.
  • No Defense- Focuses on the Defenders
  • The Great Hunt Is On- Could feature Kraven the Hunter, Could introduce the world of The Witcher

     Future character appearances and interactions 
  • Doctor Manhattan being the one to inform everyone about the Villain Team-Up between Thanos, Darkseid and Zod.
  • Lex Luthor Jr. of Earth-51 visits Earth-38 and meets a still living version of his father (Lex Luthor of Earth-38) and aunt (Lena).
  • Dimitri Smerdyakov is a mole for Norman Osborn inside S.H.I.E.L.D.
  • Potential members of the Sinister Six- Adrian Toomes/Vulture and Quinton Beck/Mysterio are 100% confirmed so that leaves four empty spaces:
    • Norman Osborn/Green Goblin- Maybe, Michael's certainly setting up Norman's future Supervillain identity but (for now at least) it seems like he'll take more of a "mission control" position.
    • Herman Schultz/Shocker
    • Mac Gargan/Scorpion
    • Phineas Mason/Tinkerer
    • Dimitri Smerdyakov/Chameleon
    • Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus
  • Captain Jack Harkness's reintroduction from Fugitive of the Judoon will play out except he'll warn about the Anti-Monitor. Also instead of grabbing and kissing Graham, it's Oliver.
    • Confirmed as of Chapter 11 of Counterpart Conferences.
  • Lena will take a temporary leave of absence of Earth-38 to move to Earth-199999 and learn magic under Dr. Strange.
  • The Justice Lords.
  • The Daimyo, Ultimate Ninja, and the Battle Nexus. The heroes from Earth-1, Earth-38, Earth-51, Earth-167, Earth-1992, Earth-8096, and/or Earth-199999 might participate in the tournament, and help the Turtles and Splinter stop the Ultimate Ninja and Drako from usurping the Daimyo. The Monitor would be in the audience, and is an acquaintance of the Daimyo.
  • An Anti-Hero Team similar to the Suicide Squad or the Thunderbolts is formed out of various former villains from across the universes introduced.
  • The Earth-51 version of Hank Henshaw and his crew are doublegangers of the Earth-199999 version of the Fantastic Four, referencing their Captain Ersatz nature in Henshaw's first appearance.
    • Alternatively, they'll look like the actual actors who end up portraying them in the canon MCU. Now that'd be "meta".
  • Power Pack - They'll make their debut on Earth-199999, sometime after Infinity Crisis. There'll probably be a story where they team-up with other young heroes in the multiverse.
  • The Monitor and He Who Remains were close friends and working partners, along with other variants of He Who Remains. Until they had a bad falling out when much darker variants of He Who Remains began showing up.
  • The variant who becomes Kang the Conqueror will team-up with the Anti-Monitor. Only for both to try to betray the other.
  • The Void at the end of time doesn't just contain Loki variants, rather a whole slew of alternated people are trapped there, including but not limited to:
  • The 13th Doctor (or 10 after Journey's End, 11, 12, or 14) will reunite with the 10th Doctor clone and Rose.
  • The Dalek take advantage of the Skrull invasion to make their presence know and EXTERMINATE all non Daleks.
  • The Huntsclan was actually sent to either the Phantom Zone or the Void, after Rose wished for them to be destroyed. The Huntsmaster is determine to escape somehow and get his revenge.
  • A Marvel Mirror Universe. Likely based on the MCU, just like with Earth-911111.
  • Unicron discovers the multiverse beyond Earth-1984 and decides to do his usual thing on a grander scale.
    • Unicron will encounter Galactus and the two will clash over a planet they both want to consume.
  • Earths 1 and 51 Deathstrokes meet Slade.
  • The ASA will still set up an occupation on Freeland in their fight against Markovia. With Static and Miles Morales joining the resistance.
  • The MCU Guardians' gain Ship/Aurora as their new spaceship. Or similar to the 2015 cartoon, Aurora is the Guardians' A.I. of their current ship.
  • The Core will team-up with Ultron, who'll give it a synthetic body.
    • The Calamity Guardian is an acquaintance of the Monitor and Uatu the Watcher.
  • The talking Beebo plush toys will appear in other visited universes. Because they either exist in those universes too, were accidentally placed there by the recent cross-dimensional visits, or were brought there.
  • Ezekiel Stane, CEO of Stane International, will show up to avenge his father. He has hired people that Tony has fired.
  • The Collector is Mr. Mxyzptlk's Sitcom Arch-Nemesis.
    • The Day of Unity happens to coincide with the Crisis on Infinite Earths, thus Luz, Amity, Willow, Gus, Hunter, King and the Collector are the only survivors of the Anti-Monitor's destruction of the Demon Realm.
  • Earth-99 Bruce Wayne will become Owlman.
  • The Crisis on Infinite Earths will force Ben Tennyson to return to his home universe in order to save his loved ones from the Anti-Monitor.
  • More members of the SCP Foundation across the Multiverse will come together to face the authors, especially The Pighead (at least, members connected to the Department of Pataphysics, like Placeholder McDoctorate.
  • A female character outside of the Buffyverse will become a Slayer.
  • The Celestial Toymaker will invade Earth-199999 and face off against Loki.
  • Characters like Infinity Ultron and Doctor Strange Supreme will come from the Dark Multiverse.
  • A Tournament of Power is held by the Monitor to see if the heroes are strong enough to face the Crisis on Infinite Earths. The teams are as followed:
    • Team Earth-1: Green Arrow, The Flash, Black Canary, Black Lightning, Batwoman, Static, White Canary, Atom, John Constantine, Killer Frost
    • Team Earth-38: Supergirl, Spider-Gwen, Martian Manhunter, Superman, Captain Marvel (Billy Batson), Vixen, Guardian, Silver Banshee, Lena Luthor, Brainiac-5

     Future Series Additions 

  • The DCU
    • Young Justice: Weyer's not afraid to bring in multiple versions of the same characters so it wouldn't be too far to see the Team and the Justice League here join in events. Plus more young heroes are a plus, especially if the Titans are established beforehand.
    • Doom Patrol (2019): Like Titans above it would work pretty well with the multiverse concept and it would be fun to see how the weird heroes get along with others.
    • Swamp Thing (2019): This would work extremely well with the mystic elements in the narrative. Plus the story should see some continuation after a Screwed by the Lawyers cancellation.
    • DC Animated Movie Universe- It would be interesting to see the established heroes and their allies meet versions based more on their New 52 iterations
    • Batman: Arkham Series: Seeing a version of Batman that's an Adaptational Badass that hails from a world that's a bit of a mix of several other ones would be a delight. Bonus point if it actually shows what happened after Arkham Knight.
      • Related to that, in the comics, Chip Zdarsky's run on Batman notably showed one possible future for what happened to this Bruce post-Arkham Knight. Even if it's just a cameo, maybe an adaptation of the storyline in which he appears might be interesting?
    • Gen¹³: The Movie: Extreme long shot here, but who knows? Gen¹³ has crossed-over with both Marvel and DC before after all.
    • Superman Lives: The infamous cancelled movie could be a part of Earth-89 as both projects share a director and Michael Keaton was set to cameo as Bruce Wayne.
    • DC Super Hero Girls: Both the web series and the reboot Cartoon Network show.
    • Krypton: Another cancelled show that could get some kind of continuation. Think of the fun to be had with a version of Superman and/or Supergirl meeting a version of their grandfather.
    • The Adventures of Superman: One of the first live-action Supermen and one of the more badass iterations of Clark Kent. He could definitely act as a mentor for some of the more meek versions of Clark out there.
    • Injustice: Gods Among Us: The One Earth Regime will clash with the Crime Syndicate and the Justice Lords.
    • The Flash (1990): The events of Infinity Crisis caused the Monitor to rethink his plan in "Elseworlds", thus it would be spared from destruction by the Monitor's hands.
    • The Batman: The reason for why some of Batman traditional rogues haven't showed up at all in the series? Because of the dimensional rifts that opened after the Snap.
    • Green Lantern: The Animated Series: Could be definitely welded with Young Justice.
    • Beware the Batman: The versions of Professor Pyg and Mr. Toad will team up with one version of Poison Ivy, since as they're eco-terrorists in this universe. It might be a rocky alliance.
    • Legion of Super Heroes (2006): Imagine this Superboy meeting one of the older Supermen or, alternatively, another Superboy like Kon-El or Jon Kent (when they inevitably get introduced).
    • My Adventures with Superman: That series tackled the multiverse during its first season while showing prominent themes of Beware the Superman. Plus the DCAU, Superfriends, and the Fleischer cartoons were referenced in that same episode.
    • The Tomorrowverse
    • The Batman: White Knight series: With all the Jokers in various states of villainy here, seeing a more heroic version of the character could be a refreshing change of pace, maybe with the possibility of diverging from the canon of the series.
    • All-Star Superman, either as an alternate Earth or a simple adaptation.
    • Wonder Woman: Dead Earth: The Diana from this Earth falls into a dimensional rift while trying to search for the mutated Hippolyta and witnessing the alternate Earths (and possibly other versions of her who can actually lend her a hand) is what will give her back the spark that she needed.

  • Marvel Universe
    • Spider-Man Trilogy: Seeing how fondly remembered this saga is (well mostly) it's only a matter of time before it's represented. Peter will likely be in a similar state as Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and won't be happy to deal with a younger, more idealistic version of himself.
      • Or alternatively Peter will be in a state similar to his counterparts in the MC2 or Renew Your Vows where he is Happily Married to his version of Mary Jane and they both have a daughter who is starting to develop powers of her own.
      • Another alternative could be to take inspiration from Spider-Man: Reign and have NYC be a fascist police state that Peter has to fight against years after Mary Jane died.
    • Blade Trilogy: It was considered by many to be the first good Marvel movie and without it we may not have gotten the MCU so it's fitting to honor it.
    • Fantastic Four Duology: Michael has expressed fondness for the films so it's pretty likely. Plus it would be a missed opportunity to have Chris Evans meet Chris Evans
    • Daredevil: There was already a Shout-Out in the casting of Catwoman.
    • Spider-Man (PS4): Seeing an Experienced Protagonist Spider-Man interact with a more rookie version that's had the advantage of working with the Avengers would be delightful. Plus this would be a Spider-Man that brings his famous snarking to the board.
    • Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: Having this version of Miles Morales meet a much younger and less experienced Peter Parker could make for some fun interactions. Also seeing this Miles's reaction to the Earth-1 version of himself.
    • Iron Man: Armored Adventures: It would be amusing to see the MCU Tony Stark and Peter Parker react when they meet a version of Iron Man who is closer to Peter's age.
    • The Spectacular Spider-Man
    • Marvel Anime
    • Marvel's Spider-Man
    • Marvel's Avengers
    • Howard the Duck: If only for a Take That! moment while also channeling Howard's cameos in the MCU.
      • If the Overlords are still around, they might try to possess the Infinity Gems to rule their universe, and possibly others too.
    • Helstrom: Daimon and Ana will exist in Earth-199999, as their show was intended to be a part of the MCU during production.
    • The Amazing Spider-Man Series: This version of Spidey will still be mourning his version of Gwen after all these years and has distanced himself from his friends and family for fear of them dying. But will be shown that The Power of Friendship still has meaning after meeting his younger MCU counterpart or the Earth-38 version of Gwen.
    • Spider-Man: The New Animated Series: The show's cliffhanger will get a proper resolution, in addition to that version of Peter being confirmed as the Spider-Man Trilogy Peter's Alternate Self and getting involed in the Spider-Verse.
    • Spider-Man (Japan): Seeing that version of Spider-Man meet the Power Rangers would be amazing.
    • Marvel 1602: Was mentioned once by the Thirteenth Doctor already, so why not?
    • Old Man Logan
    • Earth X

  • Other (Comics & Webcomics)
    • A shared Dark Horse Comics universe, headlined by Hellboy and the BPRD and also including The Mask and The Umbrella Academy. All possibly drawing from their live-action adaptations.
    • The Tick, possibly using the most recent incarnation.
    • Black Hammer: Instead of being trapped in a rural town after Black Hammer's battle against the Anti-God, the group of heroes was actually scattered all across the Multiverse, with the possibility that they might have lost their memories in the process.
    • Vampirella: Between the original, the Harris Publications version & the Dynamite Comics version, there's probably a lot of possibilities. Maybe fusing parts of the three continuities?
    • Other Hasbro properties like Rom: Spaceknight and Micronauts could be included on Earth-1984. IDW's Hasbro Comics Universe having has their own respective incarnations anyway, so it'd be a good fit to do something similar.
    • The Valiant Comics universe, specifically the depiction from Ninjak vs. the Valiant Universe, since it has depicted so many of Valiant's key characters already.
    • The Green Hornet: With the serials, the TV shows, the movie and the comics made about the character over the years, he's surely suited for a Ultimate Universe-style type of reimagining.
    • The Lone Ranger: Same as for the Hornet.
    • The Shadow: Could possibly reference the crossovers with Batman and also how he was one of his inspirations.
    • Flash Gordon
    • The Phantom
    • Mandrake the Magician: Seeing Mandrake & Doctor Strange meet would be a given.
    • The Spirit
    • Zorro: In the same way as the Shadow, having Zorro & Batman meet is a given. Bonus points if there's a reference to how The Mark of Zorro was the movie Bruce saw with his parents the night of their murder.
    • Grendel: Hunter is a perfect fit for any scenario requiring a The Man Behind the Man-type of scenario.
      • Alternatively (and more humorously), people from the Marvel-based Earths could mistake him for Spider-Man or Venom because of his mask.
    • BIONICLE: Would fit in extremely well in superhero settings and falls under Warner Bros purview.
    • Buck Rogers
    • Dan Dare
    • Nemesis the Warlock
    • Drive (Dave Kellett): Having the characters from this world seeing A.I.s that are truly benevolent and don't turn evil might be a really surprising discovery for them.
    • Turok
    • Schlock Mercenary: A bunch of alien mercenaries discovering the Multiverse and realizing that it can make them more contracts. The stories write themselves with that.
    • Beasts of Burden: It would certainly be unique to have a story featuring animals who can't communicate with non-magical humans.
    • Wrong Earth
    • Snow White Zombie Apocalypse
    • Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt: Helps that he was once part of the DC Universe for a brief period of time.
    • Lackadaisy: Rocky falls by accident into another universe and he ends up meeting the local criminals, with possibly a clash of moralities.
      • Bonus points if he fell into a universe with another character voiced by Michael Kovach in here.
    • Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: It's so full of pop-culture references that it would be just amusing to throw Scott in one of them and having him be like "Oh, wait, I know this thing". Plus, with the comic, the movie and the recent anime, it wouldn't be surprising to see a case of split timelines here.
    • El Goonish Shive: The fact that the main cast of the comic has a less-than-stellar relationship with the laws of physics can mean that they have a chance of potentially being destructive on other universes.
      • Alternatively, The Pighead might notice them and, since it's established that she's pretty egotistical, it's not a stretch to assume she might get jealous of other people able of screwing with reality, since they make her feel less special.
    • Kill Six Billion Demons: With Allison having to travel the entirety of the Multiverse like in canon, who knows in how many Earths she will pop up and how many people she'll meet along the way?
    • The Order of the Stick: Despite the main cast being very Genre Savvy, them falling into the dimensional rifts and discovering worlds that don't look at all like D&D worlds could be a huge clash of cultures for them.
    • Lore Olympus: It would be really interesting to see those iterations of the Greek Gods meet other versions of them, like the MCU or the Riordanverse ones.
    • TwoKinds: The main cast could run across Black Hat's crew and meet 5.0.5., which could be a nice joke given that the comic's creator, Tom Fishbach, is Markiplier's brother.
    • V for Vendetta: V (either the original being Spared by the Adaptation or Evey as his successor) falls into a dimensional rift to a DC-based Earth and meets with Anarky, with a team-up or some animosity depending on how said meeting goes.
      • Alternatively, since the Pennyworth TV show is actually a prequel to the events of the comic, that might be a good opportunity to use.
    • The Crow: Either based off the original film or the reboot.
    • Strangers in Paradise: If some wannabe villains from other worlds decide to cause trouble in this Earth, it's not a stretch to assume that Katchoo could make things more difficult for them.
    • Black Hole: The main cast could meet some X-Men, with the contrast between mutants with powers and people with an illness causing them uncontrollable (and unpleasant) body changes being made clear.
    • The Goon: The Snap caused the Nameless Town to actually disappear and rematerialize in one random Earth. Now, it's to whoever inhabits said Earth to deal with that, including the zombie priests.
    • 100 Bullets: Agent Graves wouldn't surely say "no" to the opportunity of carrying around his particular brand of justice to other Earths, with the good and the bad it will inevitably bring along.
    • Fables: Bigby Wolf will have an encounter with a version of Batman.
    • Fear Agent: Heath has the exact profile for a team like the Suicide Squad. Alternatively, he could run into the Tagon's Toughs.
    • Locke & Key: Most likely based on the Netflix series.
    • I Kill Giants: There's surely a variant of Barbara with a giant hammer who kills giants (that actually are evil, unlike in the comic) existing somewhere in the Multiverse.
    • From Hell: Since it's an Alan Moore comic, Inspector Abberline or (if we're going for this route) the spirit of William Gull turned God-like entity could definitely meet the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
    • Sweet Tooth Could take inspiration from the series.
    • American Vampire: The Carpithian vampires have the potential to be interesting antagonists. In general, this comic's take on vampires could be a refreshing change of pace.
    • Saga: With Marko, Alana & Hazel having to constantly travel to avoid the two factions of the war tearing apart their world, it's a given they could fall into dimensional rifts. Hopefully, it could give them potential new friends and means to live a more peaceful life, even if it won't last forever.
    • Punk Rock Jesus: An anarchist punk-rock band led by a clone of Jesus Christ trying to rebel against his upbringing? That would be the sort of people The Pighead would be interested in.
    • Providence: The Booke of the Wisdom of the Stars screams "item that a lot of villains across the Multiverse would be interested in possessing, even if they have no idea what kind of power it has". Alternatively, heroes from various Earths could fine pages of Robert Black's Commonplace Book after their dispersion at the end of the comic.
    • The Sculptor: With the powers he gains from Death, David could likely become a person of interest for not very savory people who would like to profit from it.
    • NIMONA: Likely taking cues from the animated film adaptation as well.

  • Other (Film)
    • Kingsman: A potential clash between superhero movie tropes and spy movie tropes could be awesome.
      • Richmond Valentine will turn out to be a Variant of Nick Fury.
    • Pacific Rim: The Jaegars would likely be a welcome help against the Titans of the MonsterVerse.
    • Shin Godzilla: This Godzilla is an antagonistic monster, a perfect candidate for an evil counterpart to the Godzilla of the MonsterVerse.
    • Darkman: It's a movie starring Liam Neeson, had a limited series made by Marvel and its main character met Ash Williams. There's a lot of possibilities with that.
    • Men in Black: Almost everything comes from the movies of course, but there will also be hints of the animated series sprinkled in as well.
      • Some elements from the original comics could be added, like them policing supernatural creatures like demons and mutants, in additions to aliens. There will also be some agents who would use murder and intimidation to keep the supernatural hidden, just like in the comics, but those are against protocols for the movie/cartoon version.
      • If their world was also affected by the Snap, the MIB will mindwipe everyone after the other half of the population is restored, and explain away the resultant chaos to be caused by a solar flare that temporarily shut down all power.
    • The Universal Horror universe: This was one of the very first shared universes on the big screen and the monsters are iconic, having influenced various characters to this day.
    • Mad Max: Like Lord of the Rings, the setting could be a fun one to have superheroes in.
    • Pirates of the Caribbean: Having some lesser-known characters from this world finding themselves in worlds where pirates are a thing of the past could be very amusing.
    • Bill & Ted: Bill and Ted (or Billie and Thea) meet the Legends of Tomorrow, and Hilarity Ensues.
    • Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Guardians of the Galaxy will run into them.
    • Cloverfield: Clover (or a member of his species) ends up in the MonsterVerse or the Pacific Rim universe. If it ends up in the former, it'll end up in a fight with Godzilla. But if it's an adult (which are even larger), it will take all the Kaijus work together to destroy it. If in the latter, it'll take every Jaegars to destroy it or send it to "the Breach".
    • Pan's Labyrinth: With all the fascists running around across the Multiverse, there's a chance that they might come across the Underworld. But the creatures inhabiting it will show themselves to be far from defenseless.
    • Slither: The Guardians of the Galaxy run across the alien after it escaped its homeworld.
    • District 9: A villain will try to weaponize the human-to-prawn transformation process to create a horde of monstrous minions. It'll backfire on them for various reasons, such as the transformed humans hating them for doing it to them or the transformed humans ignoring the villain's commands to instead loot stores for cat food to eat.
    • Species: The alien race that gave the secret government group their alien DNA to create a Half-Human Hybrid plant to do the same on Earth-1, Earth-38, Earth-51, Earth-167, Earth-1992, Earth-8096, or Earth-199999.
    • Virus: The Intelligence finds itself in another universe. Possibly Earth-1984, or any universe involving Transformers or other robots.
    • The Cabin in the Woods: The monsters that escape their confinements end up on other Earths, while the Ancient Ones search for a new world to demand sacrifices from - Earth-1, Earth-38, Earth-51, Earth-167, Earth-1992, Earth-8096 and Earth-199999 being potential candidates.
    • The Thing: The titular alien, while discovering the Multiverse, will quickly try to consume more and more new people and use them as hosts.
    • Alien Nation: The drug that Newcomers consume ends up falling into other worlds. Naturally, it goes haywire the second others find it.
    • Independence Day: Following Resurgence, the Harvesters are losing the war against The Alliance between Earth and other aliens. In desperation, they plan to escape in other universes to rebuild their power.
    • Avatar: Pandora will be invaded by another race of blue skinned aliens from another franchise, such as the Kree in a Marvel crossover.
    • Aelita: There's a universe where the events of the movie (or, at least, the existence of Mars and its inhabitants, including the titular character) are actually not Los's dreams and very much real.
    • Starship Troopers
    • Forbidden Planet: Robby the Robot falls into a dimensional rift and ends up accidentally meeting the Legends of Tomorrow.
    • Malignant: Gabriel would definitely make for an interesting villain for a story, given that a hero wouldn't want to risk Madison's life while fighting him when he takes control of her body.
    • The Kid Who Would Be King: The Morgana in this film would surely be willing to team up with one of her alternate selves. Also, the fact that she got beaten by a group of kids could provide some In-Universe good laughs.
    • Mystery Men: The Mystery Men will meet the Ninja Turtles, an allusion to the crossovers they had.
    • Child's Play: For Chucky, a whole Multiverse means more chances to find suitable human hosts. Of course, he would take those chances.
    • Love And Monsters : Joel & Aimee end up reuniting... but exactly in this moment, they find themselves falling into a dimensional rift.
    • Heavy Metal: The Loc-Nar will travel to the other universes that have appeared.
    • The One: The Snap hits the universes catalogued by the MVA. This phenomenon led them to discover the other universes they haven't explored. Yulaw escapes the Hades Universe during the Snap, discovers the other universes and plans to continue his mission to become the One by killing his other counterparts. The MVA and the TVA will work together to deal with multiversal threats.

  • Other (Live-Action Series)
    • Van Helsing: There's definitely a place for Vanessa to meet at least some of the other Van Helsings across the Multiverse.
    • Teen Wolf: The 1985 film and the 2011 series are actually part of the same universe.
    • Grimm: Kelly, Diana, and the triplets will seek out Liza.
    • The Magicians
    • Shadowhunters
    • Warrior Nun
    • Stargate: It's safe to say that after the Snap, the Stargates could be very useful when it comes to travel to various worlds...
    • Firefly: Would be nice to see some sort of continuation after Firefly got Screwed by the Network.
    • Fringe
    • Jupiter's Legacy: It'll be nice to see a continuation of the series.
      • Utopian gets a good talk from Superman (the Earth-51 version) about the Code, how his determination to uphold it is affecting his family and friends. Superman brings up about how he was forced to kill Zod to save a family, and later Doomsday only because he was a mindless abomination. While Superman doesn't condone killing, he knows it's unavoidable, and tells Utopian that he'd have to make a choice taking a life and be willing to live with it.
    • Babylon 5
    • V: Could be a mix of the original series and the remake.
      • Diana in the remake is the same character from the original.
      • The Snap caused the brainwashing to fail and expose the Visitors' true intentions to the world. Lisa and other like-minded Visitors rebel against their people. This led to Anna’s Villainous Breakdown, drop her facade and order the invasion/destruction of Earth out of spite.
    • Earth: Final Conflict
    • Defiance
    • Red Dwarf
    • Battlestar Galactica: Could take elements from both the original series and the remake.
    • Andromeda
    • Spellbinder
    • Space: Above and Beyond
    • Farscape
    • Falling Skies
    • Midnight Mass
    • All of Us Are Dead : The campus of Hyosan High School disappears and rematerializes on another Earth, which causes a bunch of problems for everyone involved. Alternatively, elements from the original webtoon could be used, showing people being used to zombie apocalypses from other Earths finding themselves here and trying to save the most people they can when the second outbreak happens.
    • I Am Not Okay With This : With her being a teenage girl with telekinetic powers she can't really control, a scenario similar to what's currently happening with Eleven could play out.
    • Lab Rats and Mighty Med

  • Other (Western & Web Animated Series)
    • Biker Mice from Mars: Imagine the jokes that could be made if these guys were used.
      • Team-up with the Ninja Turtles.
      • Multiple versions of the Martian Manhunter will all have the same confused, skeptical reaction to the Biker Mice being the Martians of their universe.
    • Villainous: Bonus points if Darkseid being affiliated with Black Hat is referenced.
    • Freakazoid!: The antics Freakazoid would get up to if he met The Mask would be humorous to read and witness.
    • Bravestarr: Who could be from He-Man's universe.
    • Steven Universe: Steven and Star-Lord would have a lot to talk about since they're both Half-Human Hybrid heroes whose alien parents have very sketchy pasts. Though Steven would consider himself lucky Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond was a flawed All-Loving Hero unlike Ego the Living Planet.
    • The Fairly OddParents!: Given the three crossover episodes this show had with Jimmy Neutron its gotta be guaranteed.
      • "Half the world's population have been turned to dust! This could only be the work of... A MEGALOMANIAC ALIEN WARLORD WITH A SAVIOR COMPLEX!!!"
      • Timmy would wish for everyone to return, but it won't work since Cosmo and Wanda realize (correctly) the Dusting was caused by something more powerful than Fairy Magic. Then Jorgen would pop up and scream "TIMMY TURNER! WHAT DID YOU DO THIS TIME??".
      • Whether or not the Snap also affects magical creatures, the Pixies would try to take advantage of this in their attempt to take over Fairy World. If they can travel to other universe, and end up on Earth-199999, hey would try team-up with Hydra.
    • She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: Could potentially crossover with He-Man's world.
      • Also, seeing Adora and Catra meeting Wonder Woman and Cheetah respectively, and developing a master and pupil relationship with them would be nice.
      • Horde Prime could potentially come back and ally with Darkseid, and possibly receive the Laser-Guided Karma moments he richly deserves at the hands of the superior villain.
    • He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021): Could potentially crossover with He-Man's world.
      • After seeing this He-Man empower his allies with the Power of Greyskull, people will wonder if other He-Men and She-Ra's can do that.
    • OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes: Fits well with the superhero theme and did touch on the multiverse.
    • Any Hanna-Barbera superhero, like Space Ghost or Birdman (probably mixed with their Coast to Coast and Harvey Birdman versions for the sake of laughs)
      • Space Ghost will be based on the DC Comics version. Birdman's secret identity is Harvey R. Randallnote , Attorney at Law.
    • Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!: Almost everyone will have a habit of screwing up the Overly Long Name while the Power Rangers will be surprised at a copy of them made up of monkeys.
    • The Venture Bros.: Just imagine the comedy gold of characters from this series finding their way to worlds where the sci-fi and superhero conventions they mock and subvert are played straight.
    • Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts: The Snap occurred sometime between the Time Skip in the final episode. Dr. Emilia, Fun Gus, or both were affected as well, and Emilia is freed upon the Snap being undone and plans to resume her mission to cure the Mutes. Presumably with the help of some villains from another universes.
    • Winx Club: The Trix team up with Thanos, Darkseid and Zod.
    • Sym-Bionic Titan: The show being written off for tax purposes in our world will be referenced, as it trapped them inside the icebergs before they got destructed by the Vast Oink, which makes them appear in Earth-192.
    • The Secret Saturdays: Since Ben 10 has been introduced, seeing how Ben's sacrifice affected them too.
    • Codename: Kids Next Door: That would be a very good way to make a continuation of the teasers related to the Galactic Kids Next Door.
    • Invasion America: This would be a perfect opportunity to actually give the show a proper resolution after its cancellation.
    • Kid Cosmic: Erodius would make for a threatening force for any hero to overcome.
      • Fantos learns about the Infinity Stones and now wants to collect them, forcing the Avengers to team up with Kid and friends to stop him.
    • Tales of Arcadia: Arcadia Oaks is such a Weirdness Magnet, it might be enough for the likes of Doctor Strange or John Constantine to investigate.
    • ReBoot: Seeing someone like Ultron or Brainiac go up against Bob and friends, or maybe even Megabyte and Hexadecimal, would be cool to see.
      • Megabyte and Hexadecimal will gain robotic bodies like Ultron to invade the real world. Resulting in Bob and friends to do the same, but with their bodies being more synthetic-organic like Vision.
    • How to Train Your Dragon: Though it would mostly be set during Nine Realms. The kids might encounter Thor of Earth-199999. Or the Legends, who might (accidentally) have them travel back to Berk.
    • The Ghost and Molly McGee: The Ghost Council will find out that there are multiple versions of Peter Parker who are among the most miserable people in the multiverse.
      • The Chairman is connected to Lady Death, and he'll use that connection to come Back from the Dead and get revenge on Molly.
    • Code Lyoko: Either Ultron or Brainiac invade Lyoko to use it for their own evil deeds, or XANA comes Back from the Dead to possess a tech-based hero to make into his vessel to exact revenge on the Lyoko Warriors.
    • Futurama: Fry will somehow turn out to be pivotal to stopping the Anti-Monitor like how he was chosen to stop the Brain Spawn.
    • Murder Drones: Ultron will express interest in controlling the drones of Copper-9.
      • Also, imagine what could happen if a villain learned of the Absolute Solver and wanted to know more...
    • The Amazing Digital Circus: The performers of the Circus discover one day that the fake "Exit" door Caine hastily created became a real one. However, instead of leading them to their world, it shows a different one each time they open it. They're at the same time happy because it means they won't be alone anymore but also afraid because of how random the door acts. Caine would also surely try to invite other people to participate to the adventures he creates.
    • Inside Job: Cognito Inc. will exist on Earth-467 and the Order of the Black Robes will turn out to be worshippers of Bill Cipher.
      • Alternatively, at least one version of Cognito Inc. is a counterpart of the SCP Foundation or members of the former are employees of the latter in other worlds.
    • Supermarioglitchy4's Super Mario 64 Bloopers: If all the other GLITCH Productions shows can potentially be involved, well, there's no reason for SMG4 and the gang not to be here. Plus, the insanity of their universe might make for some funny shenanigans.
    • Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix: It could either show up in the regular multiverse or as a part of the Dark Multiverse, given that the series is set in a Crapsack World populated by darker versions of established characters. Either way, seeing this version of Rayman interacting with the likes of Mario, Sonic, and maybe even the original Rayman would be very interesting.
    • Meta Runner: Tari, post-end of the series, manages to catch glimpses of the Multiverse from within the Cyberspace and decides, to amuse herself, to actually look at it more further.
    • Spooky Month: Skid & Pump look like the type of kids who could accidentally discover other Earths and not being phased at all by anything that is happening in front of them.
    • Underverse: XGaster is a never-satisfied perfectionist who is able to mentally enslave anyone and wants everyone to submit to his vision. Nightmare!Sans (with Killer!Sans as his right-hand man) wants to cause as much pain and suffering as he can. Error!Sans sees all alternate universes as anomalies that must be destroyed. Imagine what would happen if they all discovered the greater Multiverse beyond just the Earths in which they play major roles.
    • Red vs. Blue: Bonus points if the characters run into Master Chief.
    • MeatCanyon: Could appear as a part of the Dark Multiverse.
    • Homestar Runner: Strong Bad will start getting emails from other Earths.
    • Lumpy Touch: For basically the same reasons than MeatCanyon above. Plus, Gorefield as an antagonist has potential.

  • Other (Video Games, Visual Novels and Tabletop Games)
    • Street Fighter: So basically Marvel and Everything Else vs Street Fighter?
    • Resident Evil: Man-Made Zombies vs. Superheroes. Epic.
    • Mega Man: The Snap dispatched all the Robot Masters across the Multiverse after it got undid. From there on, they start having very different adventures.
      • Mega Man Battle Network: Any robotic villain will be interested to take over this version of the Internet, this is almost a given.
    • Metal Gear: Seeing Raiden or a younger Big Boss could certainly be interesting.
    • Castlevania: Possibly using the animated series.
    • Fire Emblem: The setting of the series could make it easy for characters of the various series to meet each other.
    • Devil May Cry: The classic Dante teams up with his DmC: Devil May Cry counterpart.
    • Tekken: Since it's already established that Shao Kahn plans to organize a Mortal Kombat, what could stop the Mishimas to organize their own multiversal tournament?
      • Tekken and Street Fighter will share the same Earth, thus explaining Akuma's presence in Tekken 7.
    • Soul Series: Nightmare would love the chance to find a suitable host for him.
    • God of War: Seeing how Kratos handles heroes like Wonder Woman and Thor, who either serve or are benevolent gods, would be intriguing.
    • Final Fantasy: Would be from the more story driven games (4 and 6, 7-10, 13 and 15 are all possibilities but likely only one) and the established characters therein are a few steps short of being superheroes to start with. Plus the extensive lore of whichever game is chosen creates a lot of story possibilities.
    • Infamous: Fits well with the superhero themes.
    • Assassin's Creed: This universe would be a pretty left field turn for the heroes to have to deal with.
    • Halo: Seeing superheroes in a futuristic military setting such as this would be fun. It would be fun if Star Wars was also involved.
    • The King of Fighters: In addition to being another fighting game, there's a lot of various story arcs that make this universe able to fit in more than one type of story.
    • Killer Instinct: See the examples of Tekken and The King of Fighters. Plus, imagine one of our heroes or villains who have to face an ULTRAAAA COMBOOOO!
    • Fate Series: Magic and the Arthurian Mythos are on track to play a big role so this would fit. Nimue did bring up the idea of Arthur as a woman after all. It would also be intriguing to see how Shirou would respond to meeting actual superheroes.
    • Overwatch: The Omnics fall under the control of the Daleks and the League of Skaro.
    • NieR: Automata: 2B and 9S fall into a dimensional rift and discover Earths that aren't in ruins. Clash of cultures ensues.
      • In addition, the Multiple Endings of the game are either alternate timelines or other Earths.
    • The Witcher: Likely a mix of the video games, the TV series, and the original books.
    • The Wonderful 101: Seeing this group of heroes join forces with their fellow heroes would be nice. Seeing them recruit civilians from other earths would be awesome.
    • Ratchet & Clank: With the release of the very Alternate Universe-focused Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, this seems like a pretty good fit. Plus, imagine Rocket Raccoon going gaga for the various weapons Ratchet and Clank have.
    • Mass Effect: With all the moral choices, meetings of characters, endings, the multiple Shepards made by the players over the years... the setting basically begs for split timelines.
    • Command & Conquer
    • Galactic Civilizations
    • Homeworld
    • Medabots
    • Digimon: The Digi-Destined meeting Ash Ketchum and friends is a definite possibility.
    • Star Fox: It's practically inevitable for Rocket to come to blows with Fox.
    • StarCraft: The Terran/Zerg/Protoss conflict spilling out over other Earths. Now, that would be a serious problem.
    • Ace Attorney: Imagine Phoenix working together with Daredevil and She-Hulk on a case.
    • Monster Hunter: One of the monsters from that series will find itself in another universe, prompting that universe's heroes to stop it from wreaking havoc.
    • Starfinder
    • Body Harvest
    • Wing Commander
    • Destiny
    • Cardfight!! Vanguard
    • Subnautica
    • Legacy of Kain
    • Chrono Trigger
    • Crash Bandicoot: Crash's time-traveling adventures in Warped have broken his timeline into three separate ones. The main one is now the original trilogy and It's About Time plus Crash Team Racing, the second is the Radical Entertainment duology, and the third is the rest of the post-Naughty Dog games.
    • Pizza Tower: Pizzahead, after having lost his tower to Peppino and having get his ass kicked by the original Pillar John, escapes to another Earth after the undoing of the Snap, using a dimensional rift, and starts rebuilding his restaurant. However, his unethical methods bring him to the attention of heroes or intrepid civilians.
    • Spyro the Dragon: Like for Crash Bandicoot, there's three separate timelines acting as the Prime ones for Spyro's universe (unlike for Crash, it has always been this way): the first is the one of the original Insomniac trilogy, the second is the one of the Legend of Spyro games and the third one is the one of the Skylanders series.
    • Bug Fables
    • [PROTOTYPE]: Like Infamous above, it fits with the other superhero characters. In addition, Alex Mercer (or James Heller) will come into contact with the symbiotes, or even worse, Knull.
    • Amanda the Adventurer: Riley Park, Amanda & Woolie find themselves displaced to another Earth. They decide to actually team up to try to know what happened, while they actually get to know each other more.
    • Bendy and the Ink Machine: A post-Dark Revival Ink Demon falls into a dimensional rift and either resumes his acts of villainy or actually tries to come to terms with the trauma of his torture at the hands of Wilson and the Keepers after some event forced him to do so.
    • Bayonetta: Bayo herself will come into contact with the various magic users of the multiverse, given that she's already quite familiar with it. And if Devil May Cry gets in as well, we can finally have her meet Dante.
    • Freedom Planet: It's impossible for Sash, Carol & Milla not to meet the heroes of Earth-1991, since the game started as a Sonic fangame.
    • Shovel Knight: Post-end of the game, a threat from another world leads to the former Order of No Quarter (plus Shovel & Shield Knight) to reunite and team-up to dispense justice.
    • Owlboy
    • LISA
    • Night in the Woods: Either the followers of the Black Goat weren't actually all stopped and went elsewhere or it's possible to have Mae and her friends stumbling upon the Multiverse and embarking on some journey.
    • VA11HALLA
    • Axiom Verge
    • Undertale: Sans, because of his Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory, senses changes to timelines that don't come from usual resets and quickly finds himself falling into a rabbit hole that might lead him to a certain pig-masked woman.

     The Dark Multiverse will show up 

     Altered Events 
With the changes brought on by the dusting, some events (movies and TV shows) will still happen but differently.

  • Marvel Cinematic Universe
    • Spider-Man: Far From Home: Peter still goes on his class trip but instead of Fury/Talos hijacking the trip Tony Stark/Iron Man who suggests the trip would be a good opportunity for Peter to check out some foreign superheroes. A certain someone however isn't gonna make things easy for him.
      • Alternatively, Mysterio still ends up being involved but, in a grand display of irony, it's a Mysterio who is actually from Earth-833 and is genuinely the hero that Earth-199999 Mysterio pretended to be.
    • WandaVision: Wanda and Vision build their house in Westview and use it as a retreat to take a break from the stress of heroics, with Pietro joining them (to their occasional reluctance). Wanda however would still like nothing more than to live a normal life with her loved ones and raise a family with Vision and thus still ends up creating the sitcom. This time it’s a series of shared dreams with her family and the residents of Westview that only she fully remembers. She still ends up attracting Agatha's attention when WandaVision somehow ends up airing in different parts of the world, Billy and Tommy end up escaping the dreams to be with their real parents and the king of dreams himself has grown curious of these events.
      • Tyler Hayward is still working on Project Cataract in secret from most of S.W.O.R.D. but as he was only able to steal a few pieces of Vision without the Avengers noticing he probably has to wait until Maria‘s cancer kills her to make any progress.
      • Judging by what we've seen so far it could be possible that Magneto could also be involved as well.
    • The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: Steve suddenly goes missing for weeks or months, and is presume dead (when he's actually stuck in another universe). So the U.S. government appoints John Walker as the new Captain America. This prompt Sam and Bucky to work together to find Steve while also dealing with the new Cap and the newly-emerging Flag Smashers (formed because they lost loved ones in the chaos caused by the Snap), with the help of recent Thunderbolts member Helmut Zemo.
    • Black Widow (2021): Since Natasha survives here, she'll continue to aid her family and the rest of the Black Widows, freeing other Widows, and taking down any surviving members of the Red Room. Red Guardian will finally meet Captain America. Yelena will be recruited by Valentina for a completely different assignment, but might still come across Hawkeye. The technology used to create Taskmaster falls in the hands of a mercenary with an excellent photographic memory named Tony Masters.
    • Loki (2021): Thanos’ multiversal actions effectively "replaced" the Sacred Timeline with something else and the TVA is at a loss on what to do as trying to reset the timeline the usual ways have no effect. He Who Remains AKA Immortus has bigger problems as not only the other Earths involvement was never supposed to happen but his Conqueror variant has been restored to existence and seems to know the truth of the TVA as they cannot find and prune him.
    • Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: Wenwu was not the same Mandarin as Powers and Marvels but merely using the name now and then with the pair having an uneasy truce. Rather than alien artifacts, Wenwu's "rings" were actually magical in nature.
      • Another possibility is Wenwu was one of the Mandarin's top lieutenants and with him presumed dead, is prepared to take up the mantle.
      • Or the Powers and Marvels Mandarin is revealed to have been from an alternate Earth who fell into Earth-19999 to start his version of the Ten Rings with Wenwu too busy to deal with this counterpart.
      • More simply, Wenwu and the Powers and Marvels Mandarin are the same person with Wenwu just one of the Mandarin's many aliases. He also now dismisses his time with Shang's mother as a "moment of weakness" and her death restarted his selfish rise to power.
      • Since Fu Manchu has appeared, Shang-Chi and Xu Xialing might become his children instead.
      • At the point in the timeline Infinity Crisis happened, Xu Xialing would likely still be a teenager, working on building her fight club in Macau as shown in the film.
    • What If...?: Uatu will examine not just timelines spinning off from events in Earth-199999, but Earth-1 and many of the other Earths introduced too.
      • Uatu will also recruit a few non-MCU characters for his Guardians of the Multiverse to stop Infinity Ultron.
    • Spider-Man: No Way Home: This depends on how things unfold in the Far From Home equivalent, but Peter's identity going public may be a lesser issue from the beginning as the Avengers are a closer-knit team this time around and are able to give Peter better support. That said, the cross-dimensional villain invasion may still happen for other reasons, as his alliance with his counterparts helps Peter acknowledge what he's capable of by himself rather than relying on the Avengers' resources.
    • Hawkeye (2021): Kate still follows as Clint's ultimate Ascended Fangirl, just a few years younger. While not happy about it, Clint will be encouraged to try and train Kate, just to make sure she doesn't get herself killed.
      • Since Clint never became Ronin and killed William Lopez thanks to the Dusting being undone much faster, his daughter Maya won't seek revenge on him.
      • Natasha might try to keep an eye on Kate herself, impressed by the girl's talent and needling Clint on the Hawkeye name.
    • Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: As with No Way Home, this almost certainly won't be quite the same as before, considering that Vision and Pietro are alive and the Avengers' better team dynamics should stop Wanda giving into her grief and the corruption of the Darkhold. That said, there is still the risk of people trying to either take America Chavez's powers or kill her in the name of "the greater good", and there's also the possibility of the Illuminati of Earth-838 trying to stop these "incursions" because they think they know best, rather than trust the more experienced universe-travellers.
      • The Illuminati will include characters from other universes as members.
      • Meaning that some characters from other universes have Earth-838 counterparts.
  • Arrowverse
    • Crisis on Infinite Earths (2019): One of the major changes would be Green Arrow surviving, just like the MCU Iron Man survived the battle against Thanos.
      • Earth-38 will still be merged with Earth-1, which already had Black Lightning taking place here.
      • Earth-199999 might merge with other live-action Marvel universes as well. If it hadn't already as mentioned below.
      • The non-DC universes will also be hit by the anti-matter waves, or at the very least experience a Red Skies Crossover.
    • Batwoman (2019): Ryan Wilder will still end up becoming Batwoman, but under different circumstances stemming from either the events of Infinity Crisis II or another Earth-1 based story.
      • Kate ends up getting her back injured by Bane's daughter Vengeance. Ryan, having just discovered Kate's secret identity, takes on the mantle until Kate's fully recovers.
    • Black Lightning (2018): Lightning (and other heroes) arrived at Gen's Earth to free her and take down the ASA; they'll revive Gen's powers. They also arrive in Jinn's Earth to stop her reign and take down that ASA too; they take away Jinn's powers, making her swear she'll have her revenge on Jennifer and probably join some villain team.
  • DC Extended Universe

Dr. Strange gave the Time Stone a power boost.
When he looked into the 14 million futures he saw the canon Endgame ending and decided that the 5 years of pain and Tony's death wasn't worth it so added something to the Time Stone that spread to the other stones. This caused all of the multiverse to be affected by the Snap and while things seemed to have worked out, in the long run he may have caused irreparable damage to the multiverse.
He also unknowingly changed the timeline of his universe such as Tony still having an arc reactor in his chest, causing people to change appearances (Jennifer Walters), Shang Chi's father to split into two separate people (The Mandarin and Zheng Zu), more superheroes to show up early (Fantastic Four), and even merged his universe with a dying one (X-Men Film Series).
    • Confirmed as of Chapter 9 of Another Side of the Glimpses, except for the changes to the timeline of the MCU, which was the doing of The Pighead, not Stephen.

Who are the Time Masters?
So, since Salvation Run, we know that the Skrulls are backed by those people and that Rip Hunter is working directly for them. But, of course, we don't know exactly who they are (plus, there's a lot of villains associated with time in all of fiction). Among their possible identities, their members could be:
