Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
DC Cosmology
okay, is the dcu considered a multiverse ala marvel, or not? i know at one time it surely was (pre-crisis). but i was under the impression that crisis ended that, leaving us with only one canonical earth.
someone may bring up elseworlds, but those were billed as stories that 'could have happened but didn't'. they were not like what ifs, which actually DID happen on different earths.
i know there HAS been some small interactions between vertigo characters and dcu characters, but are those interactions canon? have they been retconned? is vertigo truly considered seperate from the standard dcu?
there was also that bit in IC that showed the various alternate earths that alex was searching through and merging. where did those come from? were they always present? newly created? are they all definitively gone leaving only the one earth once again??
and last thing: how does a multiversal power in marvel, compare to an uber power in the single dcu? (ie the oft debated tribunal v spectre -- if lt is multiversal, shouldn't he be considered the greater power??)
Then the crisis started , and Alex separated most of the worlds , characters were then placed back in the world(s) which they originated from (Eg Captain Marvel was back in World-S)
Now the worlds have all merged back into 'New earth'
Vertigo usually are only placed within DC if necessary , also if their isn't much change within the background.
Eg : Swamp-thing is a plausible character within Dc .
V on the other hand isn't , because theirs no fascist Britain in DC.
Yes, it did. A multiverse of multiverses. But then, you can keep on going up an infinite hierarchy: a multiverse of multiverses of multiverses; a multiverse of multiverses of multiverses of multiverses...
...all part of the Omniverse (which would include us) or the Godsphere (if you are more spiritually inclined).
