List of DC Multiverse worlds


The DC Multiverse is a fictional continuity construct that is used in DC Comics publications. The Multiverse has undergone numerous changes and has included various universes, listed below between the original Multiverse and its successors.

The original Multiverse

Catalogued

Originally, there was no consistency regarding "numbered" Earths—they would be either spelled out as words or use numbers, even within the same story. For example, "Crisis on Earth-Three!" #29 ) uses "Earth-3" and "Earth-Three" interchangeably. However, a tradition of spelling out the numbers emerged in "The Most Dangerous Earth" #30 ). This convention was disregarded in Crisis on Infinite Earths, and it became common practice to refer to the various Earths with numerals instead. Infinite Crisis used both, but Crisis On Infinite Earths: Absolute Edition and everything after 52 have referred to the alternate universes with numerals.
Because 52 introduced another set of Earths, The Flash: Flashpoint changed the nature of many of those Earths. The New 52 and Convergence restored the Pre-Crisis Multiverse; all Pre-Crisis Earths below 52 are spelled out, realities from the 52 Multiverse use a hyphen, and realities from the New 52 Multiverse use a space. This helps, as The New 52 introduced a Dark Multiverse that uses negative numbers.
Also, Earths that were "revealed as a distinct parallel Earth in The Kingdom #2", i.e., part of Hypertime, are marked with a "*". Variations of some of these worlds appeared in the 52 and New 52 Multiverses, which are also Hypertime realties.
Note that Wonder Woman met a resemblant Wonder Woman coming from a twin Earth in "Wonder Woman's Invisible Twin",. It was the first appearance of an alternate Earth in DC Comics.
DesignationEraInhabitantsNotesFirst Appearance
Earth-ZeroInfinite CrisisEarth-Zero is populated by Bizarro versions of various DC characters
  • Earth-Zero's only appearance was in a single panel in Infinite Crisis #6. It is a homage to Htrae, the Bizarro World, with its population of Bizarros and its cubical shape. The original Bizarro World was not a parallel Earth, but another planet that existed in the same universe as Earth-One.
  • This was one of the proposed names for the post-Zero Hour DC Universe after a somewhat definitive timeline was established
Infinite Crisis #6
Earth-OnePre-CrisisDC's Silver Age heroes, including the original Justice League of America: police scientist Barry Allen as the Flash; test pilot Hal Jordan as Green Lantern; Thanagarian Katar Hol as Hawkman; scientist Ray Palmer as the Atom; and reporter Clark Kent, who as a teenager became Superboy before starting his career as Superman.
  • The default Earth for most of DC's comics during the time the original DC Multiverse construct was in use, Earth-One was by far the most populated and widely explored and it retained dominance over the other four worlds which were merged with it during the Crisis on Infinite Earths storyline.
  • First described as a distinct Earth in The Flash #123, first named in Justice League of America #21
  • More Fun Comics #101 The Earth-One Batman and Gotham City first appeared in Detective Comics #327
    Earth-TwoPre-CrisisDC's Golden Age heroes, including the Justice Society of America, whose careers began at the dawn of World War II : chemistry student Jay Garrick as the Flash; radio engineer Alan Scott as Green Lantern; archaeologist Carter Hall as Hawkman; pint-sized powerhouse Al Pratt as the Atom; and Clark Kent, who began his career as Superman as an adult.
    • Politically, Earth-Two was different from the Earth-One template modeled after Earth-Prime. For example, Quebec was an independent nation autonomous from Canada, South Africa had abolished apartheid sooner and the Atlantean countries of Poseidonis and Tritonis were both ruled by a queen, not a king, their inhabitants displaying surface-dweller features and no capacity for underwater survival, as the Atlantis continent had been raised to the surface.
    • First described as a distinct Earth in The Flash #123, first named in Justice League of America #21

  • Debatable
    Earth-ThreePre-CrisisThe Crime Syndicate of America, evil versions of the Earth-One heroes ; the heroic Alexander Luthor; and briefly his son, Alexander Luthor, Jr.

    Unclassified

    Before the formal creation of its Multiverse, DC would use the "imaginary story" label to denote stories that did not fit and never were intended to fit into its canon—a tradition it would continue even after the creation of the Multiverse. Alan Moore's "What Ever happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" #583 and Superman in 1986 was the last Pre-Crisis story to use the label.
    By contrast, other stories were clearly intended to be canonical, but various details were wrong or there were stories told in other media that were never said not to be canonical. As a result, fans and editors would create other Earths to explain things like the Super Friends comic.
    Also there were many "one-shot" Earths, for which few details were provided and would not be named until Crisis on Infinite Earth: Absolute Edition was published. Finally, not all alternate reality stories were assigned a name. These included the two-page "How Superman Would Win the War", the ancient Greece/ancient Israel mash-up world from Action Comics #308, the Earth where "The Super-Panhandler of Metropolis" and "The Secret of the Wheel-Chair Superman!" take place, and some of the Earths seen in Superboy #61-62.
    DC's one universe, one timeline idea was silently killed off with the creation of the pocket universe. The Official Crisis on Infinite Earths Index and The Official Crisis on Infinite Earths Crossover Index formally canonized the "Crossover Earth" where the Marvel and DC characters co-existed, making multiverse-changing events problematic at best. Then, you had parallel universes where the counterpart of Earth had a different name, as well as the realities of the Darkstars and Justice League series.
    Crisis on Infinite Earth: Absolute Edition formally canonized and named many imaginary tales, the Tangent Comics universe and some Elseworlds as part of the Pre-Crisis Multiverse, even though some had clearly existed after the Crisis.
    In the "With A Vengeance!" storyline in Superman/Batman, the Multiverse is visited by Bizarro and Batzarro. The Joker and Mr. Mxyzptlk summon Batmen and Supermen from various realities, both previously established worlds as well as unexplored ones.
    Convergence retroactively prevented the destruction of the original DC Multiverse, so all the Pre-Crisis earths exist but in an "evolved" form, though all characters in continuity or canon can be used by writers.

  • A spell that was to replace Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman as the Trinity of New Earth was corrupted, resulting in a major alteration of New Earth's history. The Justice Society of America did not disband in the 1950s, but became Justice Society International and created a mistrust of the heroes who would form the Justice League. The reality tried to replace Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, but continued efforts to become the Trinity by the spellcasters made the reality inherently unstable, with a rapidly changing history.

    The ''52'' Multiverse

    A new Multiverse was revealed at the end of the 52 weekly maxiseries. Unlike the original Multiverse, which was composed of an infinite number of alternate universes, this Multiverse is composed of a predetermined number of alternate universes, which were originally referred to as New Earth and Earths 1 through 51, although erroneously in Tangent: Superman's Reign #1, New Earth is referred to as Earth-1; however, in Final Crisis: Superman Beyond #1, New Earth is instead designated Earth-0. Dan Didio has since explicitly denied that New Earth is Earth-1. The alternate universes were originally identical to New Earth and contained the same history and people until Mister Mind "devoured" portions of each Earth's history, creating new, distinct Earths with their own histories and people, such as the Nazi-themed version of the Justice League that exists in Earth-10. Each of the alternate universes have their own parallel dimensions, divergent timelines, microverses, etc., branching off of them.
    The Guardians of the Universe serve as protectors of the new Multiverse. Each universe within the Multiverse is separated by a Source Wall, behind which the Anti-Life Equation keeps the universes apart. The Bleed permeates the Anti-Life Equation in unpredictable places behind the Source Wall, allowing for transport between the universes. The destruction of New Earth would set off a chain reaction that would destroy the other 51 alternate universes at the same time, leaving only the Antimatter Universe in existence. As a consequence of Alexander Luthor, Jr.'s attempts to recreate the Multiverse, 52 new Monitors were created to oversee the 52 universes created afterwards. The Monitors seek to protect the Multiverse from people who crossover from one alternate universe to another, through the Bleed or through innate ability, who the Monitors have labeled "anomalies".
    A partial list of some of the alternate universes that make up the new Multiverse was revealed in late November 2007.

    The Multi-Multiverse

    The New 52 and DC Rebirth

    The Flashpoint story arc ended with a massive change to the Multiverse; to what extent it is entirely new, and to what extent it is as it was formed in the wake of 52, has not fully been established. Some worlds, like Earth 1 and Earth 23, appear to be entirely untouched, while others, like Earth 0, Earth 2, and Earth 16, have changed drastically. A number of worlds from the previous Multiverse were also reassigned; for example, Earth 31, originally the alternate Earth where Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns and All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder is set, is now occupied by post-apocalyptic waterworld analogues of Batman and other DC staples. In July 2014, a map of the Multiverse was released, in promotion of Grant Morrison's The Multiversity series.
    There are 52 Earths in the local Multiverse home to the DCU Prime Earth, though due to the time-traveling interventions of Brainiac, the Hal Jordan of the Pre-Zero Hour New Earth DCU, and Superman of the Pre-Flashpoint New Earth altering the course of the Crisis on Infinite Earths, an infinite number of universes from previous incarnations of the Multiverse exist beyond these 52. This new model of creation involves multiple incarnations of the Multiverse suspended within a "Multi-Multiverse", with individual Multiverses existing as 'bubble' sets of grouped universes, such as the local 52. In February 2018, the Dark Nights: Metal series disclosed the existence of an additional Earth within this context, populated by sapient metasimians. In Doomsday Clock #12 it was revealed, that previous incarnations of DC Universe, such as Pre-Crisis Earth-One and New 52's Prime Earth still exist as Earth-1985 and Earth-52, as a way of preserving every era of Superman.

    The Multiverse-2

    As it was mentioned in The Multiversity, this multiverse was destroyed by the Empty Hand.

    The Dark Multiverse

    The Dark Multiverse made its debut on DC's ' banner. Characters within this storyline are stated as originating from beyond the core New 52 Multiverse that has been depicted until now and contains Dark Knight Batman analogues of the Flash, Doomsday, Aquawoman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Cyborg and the Joker. Many of these Earths appear to be highly unstable and pre-apocalyptic, akin to the depiction of the Earths that were consumed during Crisis on Infinite Earths.
    Worlds in the Dark Multiverse are designated with negative numbers.

    Following the conclusion of Smallville, the series' story was continued in comic book form under the banner Smallville: Season 11. The series ran from 2012 to 2015.

    Arrowverse

    Pre-"Crisis"

    television series Arrow received its first spin-off The Flash in 2014 with both set in the same fictional universe. The Flashs second season began to explore a shared multiverse with the appearance of Earth-2 while the series' titular character also crossed over with the parallel universe home to Supergirl. Additional universes have either been visited or mentioned in dialogue in later seasons of the Arrowverse shows, and some older television series such as the 1990 The Flash series and films such as the 1989 Batman film have been retroactively incorporated into the Arrowverse multiverse as their own parallel universes.
    The 2019 crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earths", inspired by the comic of the same name, destroyed all universes within the Arrowverse multiverse, both on- and off-screen.

    At the end of "Crisis on Infinite Earths", a new multiverse was created, notably merging Earth-1, Earth-38, and the Earth of Black Lightning into the new Earth-Prime. Guggenheim also confirmed the characters from Smallville who existed on the previous Earth-167 survived. Guggenheim had wanted there to only be the single, new Earth-Prime that remained at the end of the crossover, but had that happened, the crossover would not have been able to visit the worlds of other DC properties. A compromise was created, where these properties were put back to various Earths in the multiverse, and the Arrowverse series were combined to a single Earth.

    ''Infinite Crisis''

    DesignationDescription
    Prime Home to legends like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, this universe is where hundreds of heroes and villains originate. The keystone upon which the Multiverse rests, and so the Monitor has great interest in maximizing the fighting potential of its populace to better defend it from extra-dimensional threats.
    Arcane The Shadow League, a cabal of twisted sorcerers, lusted for absolute rule over this Earth. Blinded by ambition, the Shadow League performed a ritual that extinguished the Sun. With eternal night blanketing Earth, the world's most powerful magicians united to reignite the Sun, but its new arcane heart forever altered life on Earth. Heroes and villains have since adapted to their magically infused environment, developing strange new abilities.
    Atomic As the Cold War was brewing between the world’s superpowers, a mysterious object from space crashed into Kansas. Mistaking the crash for a first strike, the United States unleashed its full nuclear arsenal against the Soviet Union, who retaliated. The ensuing nuclear war instantly vaporized 97% of all life on this Earth. The survivors hope that the Earth can be healed, but the nuclear aftermath has left them with scars that never will heal.
    Gaslight The Victorian Era has swept through this Earth and a prosperous Age of Invention has revolutionized society through powerful steam technology, and this amazing progress is only the beginning. Heroes and villains have begun to emerge from all corners of society, and with them bringing new sources of power and problems far stranger than steam and gaslights.
    Nightmare Tales of horrors prowling the night were once just legends on this Earth - until the darkness returned. Ancient and terrible powers beyond comprehension awoke and brought with them an army of monsters. In fighting these creatures, some heroes have fallen, twisting into monsters themselves. Heroes and villains have set aside old rivalries and are united in fighting the darkness that threatens to engulf their world forever.
    Mecha On this Earth, there were no heroes until a league of scientists known as the Justice Consortium created them. Technology had always been advanced on this Earth, but these new robotic creations were able to think and feel and wielded powers beyond anything yet seen. They now defend the Earth from threats within and beyond, particularly the Doom Legion and their villainous assassin robots.

    A convergence of Multiverses

    The end of the Convergence series resulted in the retroactive saving of the Pre-Crisis DC Multiverse. In an interview Jeff King stated, "The battle to save not one, but two multiverses in Convergence provides it", and later states, "In Convergence #8 we reference Multiversity and show you some of the Post-Convergence worlds that make up the reconstituted DC Multiverse. In many ways, the number of Worlds is now infinite. There may even be more than one Multiverse.", as well as, "Post-Convergence, every character that ever existed, in either Continuity or Canon, is now available to us as storytellers.". This leaves open the question of how the Pre-Crisis, Hypertime, 52 and post-Flashpoint Multiverses interact.
