Multiverse (DC Comics)
The DC Multiverse is a fictional multiverse where the stories of DC Comics take place. It is a complex system of parallel universes, alternate realities, and different timelines that allow DC Comics writers to explore different versions of their iconic characters.
The concept of the DC Multiverse was first introduced in the 1961 story "Flash of Two Worlds" in which the characters of Earth-One and Earth-Two (home to the Golden Age versions of DC superheroes) were revealed to exist on parallel Earths. Over the years, the DC Multiverse has expanded to include various Earths with different versions of characters, such as the dystopian Earth-3 and the gender-reversed Earth-11.
The DC Multiverse allows for creative storytelling opportunities, crossovers, and reimaginings of classic characters and storylines. It has been a key element of DC Comics lore for decades and continues to be a popular concept among fans and creators alike.
