What if Earth-Prime really was our earth?

[llozymandias]

In the comics by the late 70s, most (if not all) of the people working at (Earth-Prime's) DC Comics knew that their stories were real events actually taking place in other universes. Then there was the fact that EarthPrime humans have the ability to influence events in other universes. That would take the fun out of creating comics. DC decides to do Crisis in order to "eliminate" the multiverse & replace it with an entirely fictional DCU. Afatk the Crisis & the events leading up to it never really happened. Imagine Barry's take on how he "died" in Crisis. He would probably have liked it.:evilsmile :D ;)

If earth prime really was our earth, then it was destroyed in 1985 and nobody noticed. Also, I would say that if earth prime really was our earth, than we have the perfect superhero to go with it: superboy prime.

In my imaginary scenario Earth-Prime=our earth means that the COIE (& the events leading up to it) never really happened. Crisis (if it happened anywhere) happened in a different section/strand of our multiverse. Or in an entirely different multiverse altogether. Also in our multiverse (or strand of it) the Monitor, Anti-Monitor, Harbinger, Pariah, Alexander Luthor jr., (& other characters created for the Crisis) are still only purely fictional. The closest we came to having a real superhero was Ultraa. :evilangry :rolleyes: :eek:

Well if Earth-Prime suddenly decided Superboy Prime went away wouldn't that be the same level of storytelling as Superboy Prime punching reality? I get it! DC eic=Superman Prime. He is the DEUS EX EDITOR.

That's why the scenario won't work.....

I think you misread my scenario. Every appearance of Earth-Prime in the comics had the conceit that it (Earth-Prime) was the real world, i.e. our earth. I was just following that thought to a logical conclusion. One of the earths "destroyed" in the COIE was Earth-Prime. Of course we were not destroyed by the Anti-Monitor.:) And i know we don't really live on Earth-Prime.;) In my scenario DC still published all the stuff it did in reality. It's just that untill the late-70s or early-80s, DC's stories were real events taking place in real parallel universes. After that point everything DC published took place in purely fictional ( as far as DC knows, anyway) universes & multiverses.:eek:

I get it and it's hard to wrap your head around but you's have to say there way some real connection with this world and prime. So in 1985 we should have felt some strange effects of having one of a parallel worlds destroied.

COIE never really happened in our universe, or anywhere near it. It was a fictional event.

Of course we didn't notice, because our earth came back in Infinite Crisis/52!

Well technically Earth Prime is our Earth.

we just lack superboy prime. or maybe he hasn't found out he has powers yet.

remember in infinite crisis when Alexander Prime found Earth Prime and it was him reaching out to our earth?

that was sweet.

It'd be interesting if Prime found his Earth and there was another Superboy there already. It'd be like something out of THE TWILIGHT ZONE. Does Prime kill his younger self and take his place or does he leave it untouched?

It'd certainly be interesting to see the COIE Prime vs. IC Prime. Even though they're the same character, they're completely different in personality. Alex wasn't kidding when he said that Prime had "changed at his very core" after escaping the Flashes.

People think it's gonna happen.

Where does Ultraa fit into this scenario?

Where does Ultraa fit into this scenario?

He dyed his hair, changed his name to Fabio, and has been appearing on the covers of romance novels for years.
