ELSEWORLDS in the DC Multi-verse ACCORDING to DC Execs....
Although DC maintained that the other Earths NO LONGER Existed (and had never existed),
during the 1990s they published occasional one-shots and mini-series labeled "Elseworlds",
Featuring Alternate Versions of their Characters that WOULD HAVE been consistent with the concept of the Multiverse.
DC officially classified THESE as STORIES that perhaps "could have" happened, but had not occurred.
They maintained that there was only one canonical Earth in the DC Universe.

ELSEWORLDS as a comic ACCORDING to DC Execs...
Elseworlds is the publication imprint for a group of comic books produced by DC Comics THAT TAKES PLACE outside the company's canon.
According to its tagline: "In Elseworlds, heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places -
some that have existed, and others that CAN'T, COULDN'T or SHOULDN'T EXIST.
The result is stories that make characters who are as familiar as yesterday seem as fresh as tomorrow."
UNLIKE its Marvel Comics COUNTERPART What If...?, which bases its stories on a single point of divergence from the regular continuity,
ELSEWORLDS STORIES instead TAKE PLACE in entirely self-contained continuities whose ONLY CONNECTION to the Canon DC Continuity are the presence of familiar DC characters.

Hypertime in DC Comics ACCORDING to DC Execs...
Hypertime has been infrequently utilized in DC titles subsequent to its introduction in The Kingdom, perhaps as a result of its chief architects and proponents, writers Mark Waid and Grant Morrison, working elsewhere in the comics industry (notably for Marvel Comics) .
While the concept was used in a multi-part story involving the Modern Age Superboy, many writers (such as "Teen Titans" writer Jay Faeber) found that their attempts to use Hypertime were either outright rejected or their stories severely altered to allow no attempt to further expand upon the concept.
In fact, promotional talks at the 2005 San Diego Comic-Con (July 2005), DC Executive Editor Dan Didio EFFECTIVELY disavowed the concept of hypertime,
Stating it would NO LONGER BE USED in Future DCU titles.

The Kingdom in DC Comics ACCORDING to DC Execs...
The Kingdom is a two-issue comic book limited series and crossover event published by DC Comics in 1999, written by Mark Waid and drawn by Ariel Olivetti/Mike Zeck.
This is both a sequel and, in some ways, prequel to Kingdom Come, also by Mark Waid.
Both books form an Elseworlds saga,
and have nothing to do with the current DC Comics storylines
Elseworlds was ALWAYS NOT CANON, It was IN Elseworlds that Mxy performed the Feat you have come to defend so much.
