Talk:Multiverse (DC Comics)

Bizarro

I am no DC expert, but it seems that this page should include something about Bizarro World. Eje211 16:04, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

It's my understanding that Bizarro world was a planet in the same universe as Earth-One, not an alterate version of Earth in the Multiverse. Tverbeek 16:48, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Bizarro's world, Htrea (Earth spelled backwards) was indeed in the same universe as Earth-One, and orbited Sol from the opposite side of the solar system. A separate entry would be more appropriate. Regards Netkinetic 19:37, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

The Bizarro Earth may have appeared in the sky during IC #5 due to the post-COIE Earth taking the role of Earth 1. User:driscolj

Sliders?

Would Fox's and the SciFi Channels Sliders count as a representation of the multiverse in other media?

It's a representation of a multiverse, but it's not clearly based on DC's. Tverbeek 12:03, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Earth-B Official

John Wells gave a list of Earth-32 (his name for Earth-32 stories) in the Crisis Compendium found with the absolute edition. He gave many other lists as well.

Earth-Two

User:Netkinetic and others... slow down!! The pages of IC#4 are barely dry, and we knoe nothing at all about this Earth-Two. Ths page, a general explanation of the Earths of the old DC multiverse, should not be changed weekly/monthly to update thiese current events until we have a grasp of what's going on.

That is true, the ramifications of this mini series are still unknown. Regarding the distinct nature of the Earth's, Kal-L specifically mentioned in IC#2 that ClutterEarth used Earth-One as a template. When Earth-Two was created, as specifically stated due to the realignment of the centre of the universe, all Earth-Two related characters were shifted off world. This fact is not in dispute. As such, now stating that Mr Terrific and Doctor Mid-Nite are distinct to Earth-Two is questionable. I agree let's wait and see what happens.

Really, Doctor Fate also is not "distinct" as an older pre-Crisis issue of Superboy Superboy #25 1982 had him battle "Doctor Chaos" with his own full-face helmet, and opposite colour scheme and similar origins. As such, I'll remove Doctor Fate as a distinct Earth-Two character as this isn't accurate pre-Crisis (just as Aquaman was no longer distinctly Earth-One related as his counterpart was shown prior to Crisis). Regards Netkinetic 19:32, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Doctor Chaos made a single appearance and he is not called Doctor Fate. Still you insist in adding him as a Fate's counterpart which he is not. The comment you're using as a source is from a reader, not from DC Comics. This is obvious speculation. 201.17.109.212 18:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

It is a researched source outside of Wikipedia, that is the criteria necessary for reference, not whether it is "publisher" approved or not. I would strongly recommend you register 201.17.109.212 so that we can address you in person. Netkinetic 23:59, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

It is a researched source based on a comment from a reader just as you and me. It says there: "Comments". Whose comments are those? ;) Anon, so what? 14:59, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Lesfer, it is a reference nonetheless. A commentary external from Wikipedia. We can debate semantics. DC wouldn't have published an issue of a mainstream character like Superboy featuring a character with the same origin, powers and costume (with colours inversed) as simply a "throwaway reference". It deserves inclusion even if for a single issue. Netkinetic 04:36, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I've never denied to be a reference. It is a reference for sure. Is Dr. Chaos based on Dr. fate? Sure! Is Dr. Chaos the Earth-One version of Dr. Fate? No, he is not. 201.17.89.78 18:04, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Is So! Is Not!

If there's a disagreement about whether ____ from Earth-___ is unique or not, then the simplest solution is not to mention them. I'm sure there are a bunch of throw-away stories out there about so-and-so's analog on Earth-whatever, and we can split metaphysical hairs over whether characters with matching or mis-matched civilian/superhero names are really analogs of each other. But the point of this article is not to show off how big your co... comics collection is, but to outline some examples of who lived on which Earth. Tverbeek 03:08, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I totally agree with the above comment. That these "one off" events cause such a stir in comparison with the larger stories is counterproductive and confusing. Dyslexic agnostic 23:03, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree with your assessment gentlemen. I was attempting to remove the fictional character in question, yet the individual from the Brazilian IP address continues to include the character in question. This character WAS a distinct character UNTIL Adventures of Superboy #25. Same costume with inversed colour scheme, same origin, same powers. However, to illustrate this point, I've added Power Girl as "distinct" and "unique" and see if consensus deems that she is unique to Supergirl, as they have separate names which is the criteria according to 201.17.109.212. If she isn't, than neither is Doctor Fate. I simply want consistency. Netkinetic 23:57, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

And I simply want you to stop disrupting this article to illustrate a point. Tverbeek 02:40, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Sir, please Assume good faith. How is removing one item which is documented to be factually incorrect "disruptive"? Your pejorative comment "how big your co...comics" is distasteful and inappropriate in its inference, and is in itself a disruption. Please use proper decorum rather than a confrontational approach.

Earth-Eight?

In what comic issue, exactly, is it said that Breach was from "Earth-Eight?" Was it in his own series? An Infinite Crisis tie-in? I've never heard of it.--Filby 02:41, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
