He pointed out one such instance in COIE 5.Another one just from the top of my head without searching is the narration after the Spectre/AntiMonitor battle when describing how we went from infinite universes to now just one as the universe resets.
It’s infinite, then and in essentially every reference since, let it go.
COIE said way more within it's own pages that it involved thousands of universes. Other people are bringing up retcons.
I posted the scan where Harbinger said, "In this new universe, there were never 1,000 earths, or even five. There was only one." Not sure what page you're referring to.
Again, the genesis of my initial conversation was about the standards that people hold. Without being delicate, there are people who will happily bend over backwards relying on ancillary sources rather than the primary source of the storyline itself to promote/magnify certain characters/feats, i.e., "Every storyline since COIE confirmed it's infinitely multiversal scope." But then those same posters will approach a different character from across the publishing divide and utterly turn around and point out shortfalls & language within the primary source of the storyline itself to denigrate other characters/feats, i.e., "Meh, Doom blew up the Beyonders with a few hundred thousand Molecule Man bomb... unimpressive."
I'm not going to require people to retrace the genesis of my initial conversation because now several people have jumped into it. But even those who jumped into it can go ahead and twist themselves into justifying how Supergirl is multiversal+++. That's their burden to bear, not mine.
