History WMG / CrisisOnInfiniteEarths

In the first Crisis, the Earth-1 Superman is clearly the pre-Crisis Superman, and at the end it's stated he'll continue to be the main Superman. However, the Main/PostCrisis DCU has its own Superman, introduced in ''Man of Steel'' and well-known for being nowhere as powerful. In fact, a lot changed after the Crisis, so much so that it's obvious the Earth presented at the end ''isn't the post-Crisis DCU at all''. ''Crisis'' was told from the perspective of that Earth, and after the Crisis was resolved that Earth... Main/{{Hypertime}}'d away or something. ''Comicbook/WhateverHappenedToTheManOfTomorrow'' takes place in this continuity.

** Wait, the Earth of the post-Crisis DCU, up until InfiniteCrisis, is secretly Earth-S?

* Or the Anti-Monitor in Sinestro Corps War '''was''' the original, and still serves as the personification of the ContinuitySnarl. He worked in conjunction with Superboy-Prime's punching of the Source Wall to cause all the current continuity errors since just before ''Main/InfiniteCrisis'' to the moment became the Black Lantern Power Battery.

Due to his concern of the possibility of the Heartless reforming the Antimoniter and the potential dangers of the Nobodies and Unversed the moniter created the Access force as seen in ComicBook/MarvelVsDC and the Amalgalm universe. This did not go as planned as he was diverted from his purpose of watching over the Heartless and Nobodies by the interfereance of Dr. Strangefate from the Amalgalm Universe. So when that minor crisis was adverted he stripped Access of his power and reforged the power into the Keyblades and Gummivessels which he gifted upon the Land of Departure, a world of his own creation where he deposited those with worthy hearts who had lost worlds but survived the Crisis. This is where the series begins.

Let's see...he doesn't just [[OmnicidalManiac try to destroy reality,]] but is [[PlanetEater absorbing its remains.]] He's an EldritchAbomination who's come back to life, only needing a shell to contain his essence. He's even described as a "universe-eater." This is why the Anti-Monitor does what he does-more or less, he just wants to consume TheMultiverse, and feel full afterwards. Being a MultiversalConqueror is just a bonus for the guy. This way of eating may be something that all Monitors share, [[FinalCrisis considering that they tried to eat Earths 0-51 as well.]]

[[WMG: It goes beyond that-CrisisOnInfiniteEarths represents baryogenesis.]]

The Anti-Monitor and Monitor embody antimatter and matter on a truly multiversal scale. The reason they exist at all is because, when looking at the dawn of time, [[GreenLantern Kro]][[BiggerBad na]] inadvertently recreated some of the initial conditions at its earliest moments(particles and antiparticles). [[TooDumbToLive He was lucky he only got the Crisis.]] The Anti-Monitor and Monitor would've been perfectly fine ruling their respective universes, but they ended up discovering each other's existence. [[UltimateBattleOfUltimateDestiny It was then on to prove who's type of matter would reign supreme]]: positive or negative. Neither side [[EvilVersusEvil was good]]: the battle between the two was us vs them on a cosmic scale. Particles and antiparticles must destroy each other when they collide, with the exception of Alex Luthor Jr. The Anti-Monitor stayed dead after the Crisis because there was only a single positive and negative universe left, and a huge margin of error to screw up and destroy his universe. [[OmnicidalManiac Destroyer he may be]], [[EvenEvilHasStandards but not of the team he's fighting for.]] [[SinestroCorpsWar When the new 52 universe showed up]], the Anti-Monitor was happy to see that the pestering InsignificantBluePlanet had done goofed and [[CosmicKeystone made themselves vital to the 52 multiverse]], meaning that it would be easy picking. [[BrightestDay Kidnapping the Entity]] was an attempt to rebuild the Antimatter Multiverse.

And the Black Lanterns are...actually, they're the same as the ones in TheDCU. When [[BlackestNight Zombie Alex Jr]] brought Prime's victims to our universe, he sent a bunch of black rings so that, [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy if Nekron is defeated, the Black Lanterns can make a comeback here.]] As for why it hasn't happened, the rings are still weak from being cut off from fiction-land. Until [[FridgeHorror you get a hold of a "toy ring."]] [[UnwittingPawn It's keeping an eye on you]], and wait until you die/it finds a source of significant power. [[ZombieApocalypse And then...]]

Think about it-the Crisis was designed to straighten out the endless continuity of DC Comics. The Anti-Monitor was sick of a confusing reality, so he decided to simplify it-make sure there was only one universe, and that the continuity didn't get snarled(the simplest way to simplify reality would be [[OmnicidalManiac to limit how complex it could get.]] The reason why the Anti-Monitor came back to life in the Sinestro Corps War was because he worried the recent 52 universes would muddle up continuity even more. He would later serve as a power battery to [[BlackestNight Nekron]] not just because he's a PhysicalGod, but because he had information about the continuity. Essentially, the Anti-Monitor is a CosmicEntity that exists to simplify the timeline.

Earth Prime is supposed to be the real world. So obviously no one on Earth Prime has powers. But when their in Another Universe AKA the Fictional World, thats when theirs powers manifest. These fictional places in DC, or marvel, or any kind of comic book, were born out of the Comic creators minds and take shape within their books, creating a pocket dimension, that has no effect here. Only when they bring up Earth Prime in the comics is when we actually get involved. Like Superboy-Prime probably wasn't born on Krypton, which would explain why there's no kryptonite on Earth, No Darkseid in space or any trace of Zod or other Kryptonians. He may have just been abandoned by his real parents, who just happened to be exactly like Jor-El and Lara and were aptly named Jordan and Laura. Also the comet that Superboy claims gave him his powers was nothing more than coincidence, it was the fact that the fictional Superman had came into his world that gave him powers. Which would also explain why, only when Alex gave him back his armor in BlackestNight, is when his abilities came back. Because the writers had unknowingly brought fictional elements into the real world, thus giving Prime his powers back.

But what i'm alluding to is that maybe on Earth-Prime (here) there are others like Clark, like a guy named [[TheFlash Barry Allen]], a track star, the self proclaimed "fastest man alive" who claims to zoom past like red and yellow lightning, then there's [[SuperGirl Karen Kent]], who's Clark's cousin and a cheerleader who admires Supergirl/Powergirl. Next [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne]], an angsty orphan with quite the will left by his parents. [[GreenLantern Harold Jordan]], a high school senior whose most precious possession is his Emerald class ring and wants to sign up for the air force. Then [[WonderWoman Diana Prince]], a bombshell feminist that was homeschooled in an all female community. Finally, you have [[Comicbook/TeenTitans Victor Stone]] A man with a bunch of prosthetics, but they're so high end, everyone calls him Cyborg.

And they all have similarities to the heroes and villains we love. Given there are about 7 billion people, they're bound to exist somewhere on our world. Including the above, we have [[ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} Arthur Curry]] (a member of the school swimming program) and his girlfriend Mary. Richard Grayson is Bruce's younger, adoptive brother. The Teen Titans are [[Comicbook/TeenTitans Victor Stone's]] former classmates at college. AdamStrange is actually an astronaut who died during his mission(his TheDCU counterpart survived because the Rannians exist.) [[ComicBook/MartianManhunter John Jones]] exists, but is a standard detective, albeit one who's into the psychic craze.

* The Zombie Sentry from ''MarvelZombies'' actually ''was'' Comicbook/{{Superman}} (traveling into the afterlife is a trick he pulls off in DC One Million), from one of the 52. He broke through the barriers of reality and attacked [[Franchise/EvilDead Ash Williams]] in heaven, and then you know where it goes from there.

There are villain counterparts. LexLuthor is a rival Jerkass nerd who bullied Superboy-Prime, Thadeus Sinestro is a police lieutenant or chief that's hard on Hal and Brainiac is an misanthropic librarian. Black Manta is Arthur's rival in the program and Mary's former BastardBoyfriend, of whom she is with child. Slade Wilson ''is'' secretly an assassin, not as skilled and well equipped as in the comics though, with his public identity looking after his darling Rose. SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker is a clown [[MonsterClown that scared the hell out of Bruce when he was a kid.]] As for the various Lantern Corps: The Sinestro Corps are Sinestro's cop pals whom are very extreme in their duties, the Green Lantern Corps the US Airforce and other hopefuls that want to enlist too, the Blue Lanterns are a church that Hal's apprehensive to go to, the Indigo Tribe are a group/cult of junkies that rely on drugs to be compassionate, the Star Sapphires are a gang of "enlightened" hookers, the Red Lanterns are a group of vigilantes and are thus always clashing with Sinestro's guys, and Larfleeze is one of those CorruptCorporateExecutives devastating the country with his 'corps' being his many, ''many'' , "business partners" that he stepped on to get on top,

** Actually when put into context, it makes more sense: ([[TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]]) Super(boy-Prime) can beat both ([[TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]]) Superman and ([[TheModernAgeOfComicBooks Modern Age]]) Superman. While the G.A. Supes is really strong (post-PowerCreepPowerSeep) and M.A. Supes is... well, Modern Age Supes strong, Prime maintains Silver Age power levels where he can literally move planets with his bare hands, has ''almost'' no weaknesses and a very black-and-white morality view. The only reason he was beaten in Infinite Crisis was that the two Supermen destroyed his armor and exposed him to red sun radiation.

The DCU, the MarvelUniverse, DisneyAnimatedCanon, {{Pixar}}'s films and the various Franchise/FinalFantasy worlds were all originally part of the same set of infinite earths that made up the multiverse before it was destroyed by the Anti-Moniter. We know this since we have seen that Marvel and DC universes are able to crossover occasionally, the minor {{Mythology Gag}}s in the Pixar movies, Disney owning Marvel and PrincessAndTheFrog showing a combined cosmology as that of the Disney/TheLionKing indicating a form of shared verses.

** No Kryptonite weakness? Superboy-Prime is human, so something that only affects Kryptonians won't bother him. Element Lad didn't whip up Kryptonite to hurt him, but an actual radioactive material that exists in our world(plutonium, maybe). It just happened to look like kryptonite.

I believe the Monitor created a small number of his own version of shadow demons so he could test the strenghts and weakeneses of the assembled heroes, without risking the danger of any of them suffering injuries that could made them useless for his plans.

[[WMG: Relic's universe was in the Pre-Crisis Multiverse, and he somehow survivied the Crisis]]
In the upcoming Green Lantern story arc ''Lights Out'', the main antagonist, Relic, is from a universe prior to the Prime Earth universe. Kinda like Galactus - except it's hard to fit this whole 'another universe before the current DCnU' into DC's complicated continuity. So we must conclude that Relic's universe was in the original DC Multiverse, and Relic, through reasons unknown, managed to survive the wrath of the Anti-Monitor

** Marvel & DCU were merged once in the mid 1990s (AmalgamUniverse) ''back when DCU had only one universe'' and the two were only kept apart by the being Access. 616 was thus Always an available multiverse.

** That's why it was trying to [[OmnicidalManiac to destroy the multiverse]]-with nothing existing of DC Comics, [[LogicalExtreme there's no continuity]] [[ContinuitySnarl to mess up]].

Due to his concern of the possibility of the Heartless reforming the Antimoniter and the potential dangers of the Nobodies and Unversed the moniter created the Access force as seen in MarvelVsDC and the Amalgalm universe. This did not go as planned as he was diverted from his purpose of watching over the Heartless and Nobodies by the interfereance of Dr. Strangefate from the Amalgalm Universe. So when that minor crisis was adverted he stripped Access of his power and reforged the power into the Keyblades and Gummivessels which he gifted upon the Land of Departure, a world of his own creation where he deposited those with worthy hearts who had lost worlds but survived the Crisis. This is where the series begins.
