History ComicBook / TheMultiversity

*** Alexis Luthor was originally a descendant of Lex Luthor from the ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' cartoon series. On Earth-16 she's Luthor's daughter.

Subverted in ''Mastermen #1'' which shows an in-universe comic book depicting a [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] American Crusader with more American elements played up. This seems to imply that he dropped those aspects in UsefulNotes/{{the Modern Age|of Comic Books}} but [[ArtifactTitle kept the name]] and that his UltimateUniverse counterpart is an InUniverse [[RevisitingTheRoots back to basics approach]].

** In ''Pax Americana #1'', Sarge Steel, a hero in both Franchise/TheDCU and the Creator/CharltonComics universe, is the [[TheDragon bloodthirsty second in command]] of the [[EvilChancellor evil Vice President]].

** The heroes of Earth-8 are all based off Creator/MarvelComics characters. The Retaliators (ComicBook/TheAvengers) consist of the American Crusader (ComicBook/CaptainAmerica), Machinehead (ComicBook/IronMan), Behemoth ([[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk the Hulk]]), Wundajin ([[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]), Bug (ComicBook/SpiderMan), Deadeye (ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}), Red Dragon (Comicbook/BlackWidow), Kite (ComicBook/TheFalcon), Major Max ([[ComicBook/CarolDanvers Captain Marvel]]), Ladybug (ComicBook/SpiderWoman) and Hyperius ([[ComicBook/SquadronSupreme Hyperion]]). There's also the Future Family (the ComicBook/FantasticFour), the G-Men (the ComicBook/XMen), Lord Havok (ComicBook/DoctorDoom), the Power Celestial ([[ComicBook/{{Galactus}} the Power]] [[ComicBook/SilverSurfer Cosmic]] and Celestials), and Stuntmaster (ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}).

** Earth-43, a universe home to the ''Comicbook/BatmanVampire'' trilogy, was originally called Earth-1191 in the first Multiverse before the Crisis.

** In ''Pax Americana'', Ted Kord followed from Dan Garrett as Comicbook/BlueBeetle, riffing on both the actual Blue Beetle legacy and the [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Nite Owl]] one.

** Earth-41's Nimrod Squad is a blatant shot at ''ComicBook/{{Youngblood}}''.

** Five years after ComicBook/FinalCrisis, Nix Uotan and ComicBook/{{Captain Carrot|AndHisAmazingZooCrew}} are finally back. Harbinger and Lady Quark also return, after vanishing post-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}, although Lady Quark had apparently been a prisoner of A.R.G.U.S. in the ''Vibe'' book.

** ''The Just #1'' is an entire bus filled with 90s DC characters, including most of the New Bloods, the third ComicBook/{{Hourman}}, Chronos (Gabriel Walker), [[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Tomorrow Woman]], and Alpha Centurion. Cameos and returns also included [[ComicBook/PlasticMan Off]][[ComicBook/KingdomCome spring]], [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Mas y]] [[ComicBook/TeenTitans Menos]], [[ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica Jakeem Thunder, Doctor Midnite (Pieter Cross)]], Artemis (as Franchise/WonderWoman), Tempest (as ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}), Chris Kent (as ComicBook/{{Superman}}), and [[ComicBook/GreenArrow Arrowette (Cissie King-Hawke)]].

* TheFantasticFaux: Among the heroes on Earth-8 are an ersatz of the Fantastic Four called the Future Family, the only individual members whose names are revealed being Frank Future (the Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic stand-in) and Golem (the counterpart to Ben Grimm/The Thing).

* ''The Multiversity: Thunderworld #1'' (released on December 17, 2014)

** In ''Thunderworld #1'', Magnificus Sivana is on his father's side with [[DaddysLittleVillain Junior and Georgia]], while traditionally he's [[MadDictatorsHandsomeSon a good guy]] and friend of the Marvel Family.

* AdaptedOut: Sivana's other daughter, Beautia, is nowhere to be seen in ''Thunderworld #1''.

* AllianceOfAlternates: In ''Thunderworld #1'' Doctor Sivana allies with alternate versions of himself to invade the Rock of Eternity and steal the power of magic for himself and conquer the multiverse. Unfortunately, Sivanas are as treacherous as they are intelligent and they fail because they were stingy with the resources they conspired to share.

* AlternateSelf: Being what it is, features a number of these, including Earth-4's versions of the Charlton heroes, Earth-5's versions of [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} the Marvel Family]], [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Earth-10's Kal-L, Earth-23's Kalel]], etc. Taken to the next level in ''Thunderworld #1'', which sees [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Sivanas]] from across the multiverse team up.

* AlternativeCalendar: In ''Thunderworld #1'', Dr. Sivana attempts to add a new calendar day called "Sivanaday", but it only lasts eight hours.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: From ''Thunderworld #1'':

* BreatherEpisode: ''Thunderworld #1''. The previous four comics had shown possessions, blood sacrifice, suicide, and assassinations, all of them with dark endings. In this one the good guys win, essentially with [[EverybodyLives no fatalities]]. The one discordant note is the SerialKiller Sivana from another universe, but he doesn't get a chance to do anything, along with his DarkerAndEdgier nature being [[StealthParody used as a punchline]].

** ''Thunderworld #1'' saw the return of the Monster Society of Evil, Uncle Marvel, the Lieutenant Marvels, and Tawky Tawny.

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: The alternate versions of Dr. Sivana keep betraying each other. In ''Thunderworld #1'', they skimped on Suspendium and left the Earth-5 Sivana to rot. After that, the Earth-42 Sivana is eaten by the Earth-26 Sivana, the Earth-43 Sivana is disposed of by the AxCrazy Sivana, and when ''he'' tries to kill the Earth-26 Sivana he ends up dying as well upon meeting the Justice Riders of Earth-18.
* ClarkesThirdLaw: In ''Thunderworld'' Sivana replicates Captain Marvel's thunderbolt with a scientific proof and can use his name to invoke a transformation in him and his family who derive their powers from laws of physics instead of mythic figures. When his plan fails so does the proof.

** Mister Atom in ''Thunderworld #1''.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: PlayedForLaughs in ''Thunderworld #1'', which is set in a LighterAndSofter version of the DC universe populated by the [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Marvel family]]. The plot involves Dr. Sivana bringing together an infinite amount of AlternateUniverse versions of himself to create a day in which he can defeat Captain Marvel once and for all. One of these versions, it turns out, is a DarkerAndEdgier Franchise/HannibalLecter-like character who went back in time to horrifically butcher Billy Batson before he became Captain Marvel, and wants other versions to kill. The other Sivanas, who are basically {{Card Carrying Villain}}s, are clearly pretty weirded out.

** In ''Thunderworld #1'', in the Sivanas of the Multiverse, there's a Hannibal Lecter-esque version who is far more bloodthirsty and depraved than the rest of them, who travelled back in time and violently murdered his universe's Billy Batson before he became the Wizard's champion, and as a result has become very bored.

* EvilKnockoff: ''Thunderworld #1'':

** Happens several times in ''Thunderworld #1''. From Dr. Sivana and his counterparts across the multiverse [[spoiler:foiling their own plans of creating a 8th day (Sivanaday) where they're allowed to win by cheating themselves out of [[AppliedPhlebotinum suspendium]] to make it an 8-hour day]], to Lady Sivana (Georgia Sivana) getting tricked into depowering herself by Captain Marvel Junior, out of her own desire to use her beauty to get her way.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: The SerialKiller Dr. Sivana featured in the ''Thunderworld'' one-shot is said to have defeated his world's Captain Marvel by using time travel to murder Billy Batson before he became Captain Marvel and subsequently escapes to kill other inhabitants of the multiverse after the other Sivanas are defeated. He ultimately gets his just deserts in the series' conclusion when the ComicBook/JusticeRiders shoot him in the head.

** In ''Thunderworld #1'', the Wizard Shazam breaks the fourth wall, telling the reader he was working on his 'omniscient narration'.

* MadScientist: In ''Thunderworld #1'', Dr. Sivana takes exception to being called 'mad'. He sees himself more as a radical genius. This is as he teams-up with an assortment of Sivanas from other universe to make an artificial day to take over the world, and get back at Captain Marvel.

* OnlySaneMan: In ''Thunderworld #1'', one of the alternate Sivanas is much, ''much'' more restrained than the others, identifying himself as "a man with personal problems," and is greatly disturbed by his insane and violent (and violently insane) counterparts. There's also the fact that he believed the other Sivanas were going to save the world, not enslave it, so he's pretty much the good Sivana counterpart.

%% * {{Reconstruction}}: ''Thunderworld #1'' is one of the modern portrayal of Captain Marvel. After years of being depicted in an {{iron|y}}ic and/or {{camp}} light, the good captain [[WhosLaughingNow finally turns the tables on the modern conventions of comic books]].

* SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers: Essentially the theme of ''Thunderworld #1''; tellingly, it's the only issue of the series where the invasion of the Gentry is completely repelled, because the heroes are just too damn idealistic, good-natured and optimistic to be corrupted.

** ''Thunderworld #1'' feels like a huge shot at how DC has handled the Marvel Family in the last few years, due to the fact that the Billy, Mary, Freddy, and Wizard of Earth-5 are much more wholesome and well-adjusted compared to their main Earth counterparts. There's also the fact that Sivana, who is still a CardCarryingVillain, is disturbed by an AxCrazy counterpart who makes very unsavory comments about what he did to his world's Marvel Family. Said villain feels sadly similar to the villains who've become common in Earth-0's universe.\\

''Thunderworld #1'' also comes off as a TakeThat to the New 52 as a whole, seeing how its lack of DarkerAndEdgier elements seems to be what allowed it to repel the Gentry's invasion in the first place. It goes to show that you don't need hyper-realism and grim elements to create a good story, and that the optimism and fun of Pre-New 52 DC still has a place in comics. And, given how well-received ''Thunderworld'' has been, it's something that hasn't been lost on the general comic-book readership either. Captain Marvel even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] how silly the darker and edgier stories are when it comes down to it, and asks just what's wrong with a happy ending.

** The aim of ''Thunderworld'' is to be this in regards to ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}''.
** Earth-7 was this to the Major Comics characters of Earth-8.

The story of the 52 Earths and the team formed in the aftermath of the story continued across several stories, but they received a self-titled series in 2021, ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueIncarnate''. In 2022, a Teen Justice mini-series set on Earth-11 was announced, which will use the Multiversity branding.

** The Ray of Earth-10 is gay, in keeping with the theme of each of the ComicBook/{{Freedom Fighters|DC}} representing different groups who were persecuted by the Nazis.

** Earth-18's status as a western world is taken to the extreme. Originally it was introduced in ''Countdown Arena'' as home to the ''Justice Riders'' Elseworlds. While that is still partially true, the reason this Earth is western-based is because the Time Trapper meddled in its growth, freezing society in a frontier state but allowing it to develop future technology, such as an internet system based off the telegraph.

** The Justice Riders of Earth-18 deal with [[spoiler:two of the Sivanas]] by simply shooting them.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: The SerialKiller Dr. Sivana featured in the ''Thunderworld'' one-shot is said to have defeated his world's Captain Marvel by using time travel to murder Billy Batson before he became Captain Marvel and subsequently escapes to kill other inhabitants of the multiverse after the other Sivanas are defeated. He ultimately gets his just deserts in the series' conclusion when the Justice Riders shoot him in the head.

At the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con, Morrison announced ''ComicBook/MultiversityToo'', a line of original graphic novels set in and beyond the 52 Earths, originally planned to kick off in 2016 with ''Multiversity Too: The Flash''. As of 2020, [[ScheduleSlip nothing has come up]], and has likely been abandoned by Morrison in favor of continuing the story in their [[ComicBook/TheGreenLantern Green Lantern run]].

** Creator/GrantMorrison's map of the Multiverse includes Wonderworld, a dimension that was featured in his ''ComicBook/{{J|usticeLeagueOfAmerica}}LA'' run. News articles have also mentioned that some of their characters from ''ComicBook/AnimalMan'' would appear on one Earth.
** He revisits some concepts he introduced in ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'', such as President Superman and Earth-23, and Overman and Earth-10, and some he introduced in [[ComicBook/ActionComicsNew52 his run on]] ''ComicBook/ActionComics'', like the mention of Superdoomsday, and Optiman's allies Red Racer and Flashlight.

** Earth-16 was classified as the universe home to the ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'' cartoon, although Morrison has stated that they are working on a way that incorporates the TV show with his interpretation of this particular Earth. As of yet, the only incorporation is a one panel reference to the TV show being only a video game on the new Earth-16.

* GagBoobs: In ''Thunderworld #1'', Georgia Sivana gives herself these with the stolen magic of Shazam, in order to get more attention from boys.

Creator/GrantMorrison's 2014-2015 limited series exploring the post-''Comicbook/{{New 52}}'' Creator/DCComics [[TheMultiverse multiverse]]. It comprises a two-issue framing story, a set of issues each taking place on a different Earth, and a guidebook to the multiverse.

The overarching story sees the rise of a threat to all reality, the demonic destroyers known as the Gentry, and the formation of the Justice League of the Multiverse in response, with the individual Earths' stories being self-contained, akin to the structure of Morrison's ''Comicbook/SevenSoldiers''.

** Sort of InUniverse example. The heroes of Earth-8 are all rough [[{{Expy}} expies]] of Creator/MarvelComics characters, with their adventures published throughout TheMultiverse as [[BlandNameProduct Major Comics]]. But they also have their own UltimateUniverse comics published entitled Essential Comics, whose characters are also revealed to be their actual alternate universe counterparts residing on Earth-7. The ComicBook/CaptainAmerica and [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] expies of Major Comics are American Crusader and Wundajin, but their [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Essential Major Comics]] versions are called Crusader and Thunderer.

** The characters of Earth-8 are all based off Creator/MarvelComics properties. The Retaliators (Comicbook/TheAvengers) consist of the American Crusader (ComicBook/CaptainAmerica), Machinehead (Comicbook/IronMan), Behemoth ([[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk the Hulk]]), Wundajin ([[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]) and Bug (Comicbook/SpiderMan), as well as {{Expies}} of ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}, Comicbook/BlackWidow, ComicBook/TheFalcon and [[ComicBook/MsMarvel Captain Marvel]]. There's also the Future Family (the Comicbook/FantasticFour), the G-Men (the Comicbook/XMen) and Lord Havok (Doctor Doom).

* AlternateSelf: Being what it is, features a number of these, including Earth-4's versions of the Charlton heroes, Earth-5's versions of [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} the Marvel Family]], [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Earth-10's Kal-L, Earth-23's Kalel]], etc. Taken to the next level in ''Thunderworld #1'', which sees [[Comicbook/{{Shazam}} Sivanas]] from across the multiverse team up.

* AnimalSuperheroes: Sees the return of [[Comicbook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew Captain Carrot]], who last appeared in ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis''.

* UsefulNotes/AustralianAborigines: The Thunderer of Earth-7 is an Aboriginal thunder god, an AlternateCompanyEquivalent of [[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Thor]].

* BodyHorror: The Comicbook/FantasticFour expies of Earth-7 are incredibly grotesque, due to their world's corruption by the Gentry. In particular, its Reed Richards counterpart is horrifically stretched.

** Five years after Comicbook/FinalCrisis, Nix Uotan and [[ComicBook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew Captain Carrot]] are finally back. Harbinger and Lady Quark also return, after vanishing post-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}, although Lady Quark had apparently been a prisoner of A.R.G.U.S. in the ''Vibe'' book.

** Creator/GrantMorrison's map of the Multiverse includes Wonderworld, a dimension that was featured in his ''[[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica JLA]]'' run. News articles have also mentioned that some of their characters from ''ComicBook/AnimalMan'' would appear on one Earth.
** He revisits some concepts he introduced in ''Comicbook/FinalCrisis'', such as President Superman and Earth-23, and Overman and Earth-10, and some he introduced in [[ComicBook/ActionComicsNew52 his run on]] ''ComicBook/ActionComics'', like the mention of Superdoomsday, and Optiman's allies Red Racer and Flashlight.

** The variant cover to ''Society of Super-Heroes: Conquerors from the Counter-World! #1'' featured the Batman-esque version of John Constantine called Hellblazer. Morrison created this version in an issue of ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'', in a dreamworld that had more superheroic versions of the Vertigo-related characters. This world was seen again in the third ''Comicbook/TheBooksOfMagic'' annual.
** Sasha Norman, a.k.a. Sister Miracle of Earth-16 in ''The Just #1'', was first seen in ''Comicbook/SevenSoldiers'' while Shilo Norman was forced to endure alternate lives in the Omega Sanction.

** Nix Uotan is seen with a monkey sidekick, possibly the [[MonkeysOnATypewriter typewriting monkey]] from Morrison's ''Comicbook/AnimalMan'' and/or the monkey that helped Nix restore his Monitor powers in ''Comicbook/FinalCrisis''.

*** Also on Earth-16 is the version of the Joker's Daughter introduced in ''Comicbook/KingdomCome''.

** Dino Cop and Spore are the DC versions of the Creator/ImageComics heroes ComicBook/SavageDragon and Comicbook/{{Spawn}}, respectively. In fact, Earth-41 is basically DC's version of Image Comics.
** The heroes of Earth-8 are all based off Creator/MarvelComics characters. The Retaliators (Comicbook/TheAvengers) consist of the American Crusader (ComicBook/CaptainAmerica), Machinehead (Comicbook/IronMan), Behemoth ([[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk the Hulk]]), Wundajin ([[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Thor]]), Bug (Comicbook/SpiderMan), Deadeye (ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}), Red Dragon (Comicbook/BlackWidow), Kite (ComicBook/TheFalcon), Major Max ([[ComicBook/CarolDanvers Captain Marvel]]), Ladybug (ComicBook/SpiderWoman) and Hyperius ([[ComicBook/SquadronSupreme Hyperion]]). There's also the Future Family (the Comicbook/FantasticFour), the G-Men (the Comicbook/XMen), Lord Havok (ComicBook/DoctorDoom), the Power Celestial ([[ComicBook/{{Galactus}} the Power]] [[ComicBook/SilverSurfer Cosmic]] and Celestials), and Stuntmaster (Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}).

* CelebrityParadox: At least part of [[Creator/DCComics DC]]'s output in the main [[Franchise/TheDCU DCU]] (Earth-0) is actually inspired by other Earths in TheMultiverse; it's no longer limited to just one Earth as it was pre-''Comicbook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' (where DC's output in Earth-One, the main DCU, was inspired by the heroes of Earth-Two). Creator/MarvelComics have a DC analogue in Major Comics, with their output being inspired by the heroes of Earth-7 and Earth-8.

* ContinuityReboot: For Earths 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 16, 17, 18, 19, 26, 32, 33, 40, 43, and 50, none of which are their original incarnations - whether that's because of a retool, renumbering from the original Pre-Crisis multiverse, or replacing a different universe with the same number. (In the final issue of ''Comicbook/{{Convergence}}'' [[spoiler: we see many pre-New 52 Earths get "recreated" in their ''Multiversity'' forms]].)
** Earth-4 was created and destroyed in ''Comicbook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', and, coming pre-''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'', didn't have any influence from it.

** Earth-10's Pre-Crisis analog, Earth-X, was a world where the Nazis won and the Freedom Fighters were LaResistance, but had no [[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Justice League]]. It was destroyed in the Crisis. When it was restored in ''[[ComicBook/FiftyTwo 52]]'' it featured a Nazi version of the Justice League, which hadn't been done before. Conflicting portrayals in ''Comicbook/CountdownToFinalCrisis'' had a standard generic Nazi League and an America covered in concentration camps. In ''Countdown Arena'' a Nazi version of the Ray was chosen as a contestant by Monarch, and it was mentioned the current fuhrer was a woman. Morrison disregarded most of this and reestablished their own version of Earth-10 in ''Comicbook/FinalCrisis''.
** Earth-16 was classified as the universe home to the ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' cartoon, although Morrison has stated that they are working on a way that incorporates the TV show with his interpretation of this particular Earth. As of yet, the only incorporation is a one panel reference to the TV show being only a video game on the new Earth-16.

** Earth-31 was established in ''Countdown Arena'' to be the world of ''Comicbook/TheDarkKnightReturns''. It's now a world loosely based on the "Captain Leatherwing" pirate Elseworld, apparently due to a veto by Frank Miller.

** The post-''Comicbook/InfiniteCrisis'' Earth-33 was originally a magic-based world home to the League of Shamans, but since that was seen in ''Comicbook/CountdownToFinalCrisis'' naturally it's been ignored just as everything else from that series was. Earth-33 is now the superhero-less "real world", formerly called Earth-Prime.

* {{Expy}}: Creator/GrantMorrison designed an Aboriginal version of ''Comicbook/TheMightyThor'' called the Thunderer. This character and his group seem to be a nod to Mike Friedrich's Wandjina and the ''Champions of Angor'', pastiches of Creator/MarvelComics' ''[[ComicBook/TheAvengers Avengers]]''. They get something of an updated appearance as ''"The Retaliators"'' when President Superman and the team arrive on Earth-8, one dimension shy of Thunderer's homeworld of Earth-7, indicating this world is connected to it in some way. The ComicBook/FantasticFour and ComicBook/DoctorDoom receive similar treatment, becoming Earth-8's Future Family and Lord Havok respectively.
** ''The Just #1'' confirms that the relationship of Earth-7 to Earth-8 mirrors that of the Comicbook/UltimateMarvel universe to the main Marvel universe, with Earth-7's versions being known as the "Essential" versions.

** In ''Pax Americana'', Ted Kord followed from Dan Garrett as Comicbook/BlueBeetle, riffing on both the actual Blue Beetle legacy and the [[Comicbook/{{Watchmen}} Nite Owl]] one.
** Also in ''Pax Americana'', President Harley's dad wrote a Major Comics book featuring a male Major Max, presumably the [[Comicbook/CaptainMarvelMarvelComics Mar-Vell]] to the current version's Comicbook/CarolDanvers.

** In ''Pax Americana #1'', Blue Beetle (I) suggests "the Sentinels" and "the Law" as names for the Pax. ''Sentinels of Justice'' was a proposed Charlton superteam shortly before DC bought the characters, and ''{{Comicbook/LAW}}'' was the 90s DC version.

* NoNameGiven / OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Many characters from the alternate Earths are only known by their codenames. As many of them are counterparts of Earth-0 heroes (most notably the Justice League members), the readers can infer they have the same real names of the Earth-0 ones, but it isn't clearly stated. And there are some universes without clear Earth-0 analogues, like Earth-8, which characters are based on Creator/MarvelComics' Comicbook/TheAvengers, rather than the Justice League. Its only named characters are American Crusader, named [[OnlyOneName Jack]] and Behemoth, real name [[AlliterativeName David Dibble]].

* SnicketWarningLabel: The series was advertised with warnings not to read the comic, with the fate of the universe depending on it. The end of the first issue also has the narrator shouting that it's not too late if you stop reading ''right now''. [[spoiler:The plot is about a multiversal invasion by [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]] coming through comic books, which are actually windows into different universes. By the way, ''it is too late'']].

* ThirteenIsUnlucky: Earth-13 is a [[Creator/VertigoComics Vertigo-y]] DarkFantasy world where the greatest superheroes are [[Comicbook/{{Etrigan}} Super-Demon]] and Comicbook/{{Hellblazer}}.

%% * BigBadDuumvirate: The Gentry.

%% * {{Jerkass}}: The majority of the characters in ''The Just'' are assholes, and that seems to be the point.

%% ** How the Justice Riders of Earth-18 deal with [[spoiler:two of the Sivanas.]]

* AnAxeToGrind: The Aquaman of Earth-31 is shown carrying a large, golden, double-headed axe, instead of the usual trident.
