\\\"The base unit is the vertex, which signifies a single 2D point. In the diagram to the right, each small blue square is a vertex. Vertices (or \\\"vertexes\\\" as they are referred to internally) are then joined to form lines, known as linedefs. Each linedef can have either one or two sides, which are known as sidedefs. \\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'Sidedefs are then grouped together to form polygons\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'; these are called sectors.\\\"

So yeah, polygons. \\\'\\\'Doom\\\'s\\\'\\\' mapping system doesn\\\'t have a true Z axis, but it does use polygons.

Do counterparts from parallel universes really count? The point of the trope is that these characters just \\\'\\\'happen\\\'\\\' to resemble our main cast. Of course the Earth-2 version of Superman will resemble the Earth-1 version, they\\\'re the \\\'\\\'same\\\'\\\' person (with minor tweaks)!
