Multiverse (DC Comics)

In DC Comics, the Multiverse was a continuity construct in which multiple fictional versions of the universe existed in the same space, separated from each other by their vibrational resonances. Each universe in this multiverse varied from the others, in either subtle or profound ways.

In particular, the Earth of each universe had a different set of superheroes, or the life histories of its superheroes were different from those of others'. In several cases, characters from other publishers acquired by DC - previously established as a part of a fictional universe of their own - were assigned their own alternate universe within the Multiverse. The universes were identified by referring to the alternate Earths, known as "Earth-One", "Earth-Two", "Earth-Three", "Earth-X", and so forth. The first such parallel world was introduced in 1961 in The Flash #123, in the story "Flash of Two Worlds". They were eliminated in Crisis on Infinite Earths, a mini-series published in 1985.
