List of DC Multiverse worlds

Original multiverse

Catalogued

Traditionally, the "numbered" Earths were spelled out as words rather than with numerals—e.g. "Earth-Two" not "Earth-2"—in part to avoid confusion between similar-looking numerals and letters in hand-lettered text. This convention was disregarded in Crisis on Infinite Earths, and it became common practice to refer to the various Earths with numerals instead; however, Infinite Crisis reverted to the original practice while 52 and Countdown have referred to the alternate universe with numerals.

Designation	Era	Inhabitants	Notes	First Appearance
Earth-0	Infinite Crisis	Earth-0 is populated by Bizarro versions of various DC characters.	Earth-0's only appearance is in a single panel in Infinite Crisis #6. Earth-0 is an homage to Bizarro World, with its population of Bizarros and cubical shape. The original Bizarro World was not a parallel Earth, but another planet that existed in the same universe as Earth-One.	Infinite Crisis #6 (2006)
Earth-One	Pre-Crisis	DC's Silver Age heroes, including the original Justice League of America: police scientist Barry Allen as the Flash; Hal Jordan as Green Lantern; Thanagarian Katar Hol as Hawkman; and scientist Ray Palmer as the Atom.	The default Earth for most of DC's comics during the prolific Multiverse era, Earth-One was by far the most "populous" and widely explored, and it retained dominance over the other four worlds which merged with it during the Crisis on Infinite Earths storyline. The DC Universe's "official" continuity post-Crisis took place on a "merged" Earth-One, as the Crisis revealed that this universe had been the core reality until rogue Guardian Krona fractured reality at the dawn of creation, creating both the multiverse and the Antimatter universe. First described as a distinct Earth in Flash #123 (1961), first named in Justice League of America #21 (1963)	More Fun Comics #101 (1945)
Earth-Two	Pre-Crisis	DC's Golden Age heroes, including the Justice Society of America, whose careers began at the dawn of World War II (concurrently with their first appearances in comics): chemistry student Jay Garrick as the Flash; engineer Alan Scott as Green Lantern; archaeologist Carter Hall as Hawkman; and pint-sized powerhouse Al Pratt as the Atom.	Politically, Earth-Two was distinctly different from the Earth-One template modelled after Earth-Prime. For example, Quebec was an independent nation autonomous from Canada, South Africa had abolished apartheid sooner, and the Atlantean countries of Poseidonis and Tritonis were ruled by a queen, not a king, their inhabitants displaying surface-dweller features and no capacity for underwater survival, as the Atlantis continent had been raised to the surface. First described as a distinct Earth in Flash #123 (1961), first named in Justice League of America #21 (1963)	New Fun Comics #1 (1935)
Earth-Three	Pre-Crisis	Crime Syndicate of America, evil versions of the Earth-One heroes: Ultraman; Superwoman; Owlman; Power Ring; Johnny Quick; Alexander Luthor; and briefly, Alexander Luthor, Jr.	History was "backwards": American Christopher Columbus discovered Europe; Britain won its freedom from the United States; President John Wilkes Booth was assassinated by actor Abraham Lincoln; and the United States flag's colours were reversed: black stars on a red field, with alternating blue and black stripes.	Justice League of America #29 (1964)
Earth-Four	Crisis on Infinite Earths	The former Charlton Comics heroes: Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, Nightshade, Peacemaker, The Question, Thunderbolt (Peter Cannon), and Judomaster.	This Earth was introduced at the beginning of Crisis, and disappeared less than a year later. Named in Crisis on Infinite Earths #1 (Apr. 1985)	Yellowjacket #1 (1944)
Earth-Five	Pre-Crisis	Bruce Wayne.	Transported by the Phantom Stranger to a universe with no Krypton and no superheroes, the Earth-One Batman prevents the murders of the Earth-Five versions of his parents and inspires this Earth's Bruce Wayne to grow up to become Batman. Named in Absolute Crisis On Infinite Earths (2006)	"To Kill a Legend" Detective Comics #500 (1981)
Earth-Six	Crisis on Infinite Earths	Lady Quark, Lord Volt, and their daughter Princess Fern.	Earth-Six is apparently ruled by a royal family of superheroes (Lord Volt is referred to as the king, and he mentions his family's reign over Earth). On this Earth, America lost the Revolutionary War, and technology appears to have advanced more rapidly than on Earth-One. Earth-Six was destroyed in the "Crisis", with only Lady Quark surviving.	Crisis on Infinite Earths #4 (June 1985)
Earth-Seven	Infinite Crisis	Dark Angel, an evil analogue of Donna Troy.	The Anti-Monitor saved Dark Angel, just as the Monitor had saved her counterpart Harbinger. The only known survivor of Earth-Seven, she escaped the compression of the Multiverse to torment Donna Troy across several lifetimes.	DC Special: The Return of Donna Troy #4 (2005)
Earth-Eight	Infinite Crisis	Breach (Tim Zanetti), Kyle Rayner (Ion), Helena Bertinelli (Huntress), and Jason Rusch (Firestorm)	Infinite Crisis writer Geoff Johns mentioned in an interview that "all characters created after Crisis on Infinite Earths are inhabitants of Earth-Eight".	Infinite Crisis #5 (2006)
Earth-Eleven	Pre-Crisis	"Tin" (possibly Tintin)	Earth-Eleven is an earth home to "Tin," a man who may be one and the same as Tintin. A nuclear war devastated this Earth in 1966. Named in Absolute Crisis On Infinite Earths HC (2006)	Teen Titans Spotlight #11 (1987)
Earth-Twelve	Pre-Crisis	The Inferior Five: Awkwardman, Blimp, Dumb Bunny, Merryman and White Feather.	This Earth may have been home to other comedic superheroes published by DC. Additionally, references within the series pointed to versions of Justice League members having existed in that universe. Named in Oz-Wonderland War #3 (1985)	Showcase Comics #62 (1966)
Earth-14	Post-Crisis	unknown	This Earth has never been depicted; the only reference to it is a comment about a purple butterfly being an "Earth-14 species".	Animal Man #24 (1990)
Earth-Fifteen	Pre-Crisis	Stone Giants	Named in Absolute Crisis On Infinite Earths (2006)	Justice League of America #15 (1997)
Grant Morrison's Earth-Seventeen	Post-Crisis	Overman	An Earth based around the gritty tales of the 1980s, the heroes of this universe were actually part of an experiment created by the government. The members of this Earth were Overman (Superman's counterpart), who went mad and destructive after contracting an STD, a black and muscular Wonder Woman, an unnamed Flash, and a punk style Green Lantern. Grant Morrison identified this world as Earth-17, unaware that the number had already been used. However, he never identified it in the pages of Animal Man. Overman made an appearance in Infinite Crisis #5.	Animal Man #23 (1990)
Post-Kirby Earth-Seventeen	Pre-Crisis	New Gods	Also the world where all pre-Crisis non-Kirby Fourth World tales took place according to Mark Evanier's speculation in the text page of New Gods (reprint series) #1.	First Issue Special #13
Earth-25G	Infinite Crisis	Unknown	One of three Earths named by Alexander Luthor in Infinite Crisis in his search for the perfect Earth; no information is provided.	Infinite Crisis #6 (2006)
Earth-27	Post-Crisis	Angel Mob, Animal Man (deceased), Batman, B'wana Beast, Envelope Girl, Front Page, Green Cigarette, Human Vegetable, Notional Man, Nowhere Man	Home of variant versions of Animal Man, Batman, and B'wana Beast and historical divergences such as Hitler's hanging for his war crimes and Edward Kennedy's drowning at Chappaquiddick. The American government is corrupt and extremely right-winged. The Buddy Baker of the Post-Crisis Earth could only exist in this universe in the body and mind of that universe's Buddy Baker, and could only leave by killing himself/his parallel self. Named in Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths (2006)	Animal Man #27 (1990)
Earth-61	Elseworlds	Barbara Gordon (Batgirl/Robin), Detective Duell, Hayley Fitzpatrick (Harley Quinn), Richart Gruastark/Dick Grayson (Robin), Bianca Steeplechase, Bruce Wayne (Batman)	A world where Barbara Gordon and her boyfriend Richard Gruastark become Batgirl and Robin in 1961 and fight against the corrupt businesswoman Bianca Steeplechase, who later kills Richard. A year later, Detective Bruce Wayne becomes Batman and Barbara becomes Robin. Bruce Wayne's family lost their fortune during the Great Depression, and Wayne Manor is now owned by the Gordon family. Designated canon in Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths (2006)	Batgirl & Robin: Thrillkiller (1997)
Earth-86	Pre-Crisis	The Atomic Knights, Hercules, Kamandi, One-Man Army Corps (OMAC)	An Earth that was ravaged by an atomic war in the year 1986. Named in Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths (2006)	Strange Adventures #117 (1960)
Earth-96	Elseworlds	Older versions of the Post-Crisis Earth heroes.	A future timeline, in which Superman has been retired for ten years, following events which severed his ties to humanity. In order to deal with a new, often lawless generation of heroes, Superman reforms the Justice League, a gathering of power which concerns a non-powered group of humans led by Lex Luthor. Named in Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths (2006)	Kingdom Come #1 (1996)
Earth-97	Elseworlds	"Tangent Comics" characters.	The Tangent characters were radically re-envisioned solely on the basis of the existing DC trademark. Named in Infinite Crisis #6 (2006)	DC's Tangent Comics fifth week event.
Earth-154	Pre-Crisis	Superman Jr. (Clark Kent Jr.) and Batman Jr. (Bruce Wayne Jr.), the Super-Sons, younger versions of their superhero fathers.	The sons of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, and Bruce Wayne and Kathy Kane try to live up to or surpass their father's legacies, but usually end up arguing or causing trouble. Their final appearance in World's Finest (#263) claimed the Super-Sons stories were merely computer simulations. The Super-Sons also appeared in the Elseworlds 80-Page Giant, 1999. Merged with Earth-462 by Alexander Luthor during Infinite Crisis. Named in Infinite Crisis #6 (2006) (named)	World's Finest Comics #154 (Dec. 1966)

Earth-247	Post-Zero Hour	The post-Zero Hour version of the Legion of Super-Heroes	This 30th-31st century Legion was composed of, among others, Valor, a 20th-century hero from the post-Crisis Earth. These heroes interacted regularly with the heroes of the 20th-21st Century post-Zero Hour Earth, and their Earth was believed to be the genuine future of that Earth. In this version, the Legionnaires had updated, modern names like "Live Wire," instead of "Lightning Lad." This timeline was destroyed by several alternate versions of the Fatal Five and Superboy-Prime's tampering. It later reappeared in Infinite Crisis #6. Named in Infinite Crisis #6 (2006)	Legion of Super-Heroes #0 (1994)
Earth-276	Pre-Crisis	Captain Thunder.	Home of Captain Thunder, a thinly-veiled version of Captain Marvel that Superman fought soon after DC's '70s Captain Marvel revival (this story helped lay the groundwork for the eventual Superman vs. Shazam oversized tabloid comic of 1978).

Earth-A	Pre-Crisis	The Lawless League: alternate, evil versions of Superman, Batman, the Flash, Green Lantern and the Martian Manhunter.	Johnny Thunder's evil Earth-One counterpart created Earth-A when he used Johnny’s Thunderbolt to alter the origins of the Justice League, replacing them with his own henchman, whom he granted powers and skills identical to the Justice League's. "A" stood for "alternate", since it was an alternate timeline of Earth-One.	Justice League of America #37 (Aug. 1965)
Earth-B	Pre-Crisis	Versions of various Earth-One & Earth-Two characters.	This Earth was never specifically depicted, but was suggested to exist in a letters column by DC editor/writer Bob Rozakis as a possible explanation for certain non-continuity stories or character traits (for example, stories that showed Catwoman committing murder with no qualms, despite being established that she did not engage in that kind of activity).	Debatable.
Earth-C	Pre-Crisis	Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew: Captain Carrot, Alley-Kat-Abra, Fastback, Little Cheese, Pig-Iron, Rubberduck, and Yankee Poodle.	This world is populated with anthropomorphic animals, who appear as comic book characters on Earth-One.	New Teen Titans #16 (Feb. 1982)
Earth-C-Minus	Pre-Crisis	Just'a Lotta Animals: Super-Squirrel, Wonder Wabbit, the Batmouse, Green Lambkin, Aquaduck, and the Crash.	This Earth (like Earth-C) is populated by anthropomorphic animals. Events and characters on this world paralleled those of Earth-One; additionally, events and characters on Earth-C-Minus were considered fictional on Earth-C (with Captain Carrot's alter-ego employed as the cartoonist of the Just'a Lotta Animals comic book series), in the vein of Earth-Two heroes’ only appearing as comic book characters on Earths-One and Prime.	Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew #14 (1983)
Earth-D	Post-Crisis retcon of Crisis on Infinite Earths itself.	Justice Alliance of America.	Earth-D featured a more ethnically diverse version of several Earth-One heroes, such as an Asian Flash, a black Superman, and an American Indian Green Arrow. The Earth-D heroes had never experienced major tragedies in their lives (not counting the Crisis, of course). As such it was a combination of modern multi-cultural sensibilities combined with Silver-Age-style innocence.	Legends of the DC Universe: Crisis on Infinite Earths (Feb. 1999)
Earth-I	Pre-Crisis	Insect lifeforms.	A world created by Despero populated by insect lifeforms. Designated canon in Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths (2006)	Justice League of America (vol. 1) #26
Earth-M	Pre-Crisis	Aquatic lifeforms	A world created by Despero populated by aquatic lifeforms. Designated canon in Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths (2006)	Justice League of America (vol. 1) #26
Earth-Prime	Pre-Crisis	Ultraa, Superboy-Prime, and DC editor Julius Schwartz.	Supposedly our world, Earth-Prime had few or no superheroes. The superheroes of Earths-One, -Two, -S, etc. existed only in fiction. In Infinite Crisis #6, Alexander Luthor searches for Earth Prime. His discovery of it is shown when he looks at the reader and tries to reach out of the page, implying that Earth Prime is actually the real world.	Flash #179 (1968)
Earth-Q	Infinite Crisis	Unknown	One of three Earths named by Alexander Luthor in Infinite Crisis in his search for the perfect Earth; no information is provided.	Infinite Crisis #6 (2006)

Fawcett Comics publications of the 1940s and 1950s took place on this planet, with its predominant heroic teams being the Marvel Family, the Crime Crusader Club and the Squadron of Justice, while the main team of supervillains were the Monster Society of Evil. Named in Shazam! #1 (1973)	Whiz Comics #2 (Feb. 1940)
Earth-X	Pre-Crisis	Freedom Fighters (retconned to have migrated from Earth-Two): Uncle Sam, the Human Bomb, Miss America, The Ray, Black Condor, Doll Man, Phantom Lady, Firebrand.	On this world, Nazi Germany won World War II, and the Freedom Fighters, originally from Earth-Two, fought to defeat them. Most Quality Comics publications chronicled adventures from this Earth. Named in Justice League of America #107 (1973)	The Comics Magazine #1 (1936)
Dreamworld	Post-Crisis	Love Syndicate of Dreamworld (Sunshine Superman, Speed Freak, and Magic Lantern).	A world based on drug culture that appeared briefly in Grant Morrison's Animal Man comic series. Dreamworld is not an official designation, but is assumed from the name of this world's premier superhero team.	Animal Man #23 (1990)
(unnamed)	Infinite Crisis	Aztec versions of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.	This Earth was created by Alexander Luthor during Infinite Crisis, when he merged Earth-154 with Earth-462 (which equals 616, the number used to identify the Marvel Universe).	Infinite Crisis #6 (2006)
(unnamed)	Crisis on Infinite Earths	Pariah	The Earth that Pariah comes from was never officially named. Fans often dubbed "Earth-Omega" as it was the site of the "beginning of the end".	Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 (1985)
Antimatter Universe	Pre-Crisis	Anti-Monitor, Weaponers of Qward, the Thunderers.	Qward's universe has been described as a "universe of evil". Qwardian society seems to be dominated by a philosophy of selfishness and greed. This could be the effects of millennia of inescapable rule by the Weaponers. The antimatter universe held a special place in the Multiverse: there was an infinite number of "positive-matter universes" separated from each other by vibrational planes, and there was a single Antimatter universe.	Green Lantern #2 (1960)

Unclassified

Various other Earths were arguably depicted in DC's substantial publishing output during the period in which the Multiverse was in effect. Some Earths have been posited to explain (for example) the Super Friends (based on the TV series). On yet another conjectured Earth-Crossover, the Silver Age DC Comics heroes lived side-by-side with the Silver Age Marvel Comics heroes, and it is on this alternate Earth where various team-ups and battles between the two publishers' heroes have occurred over the years. Some of these could instead be categorized using the "imaginary story" identifier which DC occasionally applied to stories they didn't wish to be considered part of continuity, especially before the invention of the Multiverse.

After the first Crisis, several new universes appeared despite DC's intentions to the contrary. In addition, DC ran a number of crossovers with other companies that involved travel between different realities. Technically, none of these worlds were ever part of the Multiverse.

This was until Infinite Crisis retroactively labeled the Tangent Comics universe and many Elseworlds as Earths of the Multiverse, even though they had been published long after the Multiverse was destroyed. Infinite Crisis did the same with many Pre-Crisis Imaginary Tales.

In the "With A Vengeance!" storyline in Superman/Batman, the Multiverse is visited by Bizarro and Batzarro. The Joker and Mr. Mxyzptlk summon Batmen and Supermen from various realities, both previously established worlds as well as unexplored ones.

Designation	Era	Inhabitants	Notes	First Appearance
Post-Crisis Earth (unnamed)	Post-Crisis	All residents of the reconstituted Earth formed following Crisis on Infinite Earths.	This universe has various derivations explained as manifestations of Hypertime and influenced by the actions of Superboy-Prime. This world blends elements of the last five universes existing prior to the Crisis. This world was divided and rebuilt during Infinite Crisis as "New Earth." This world is dubbed "Earth 2" by the Antimatter Lex Luthor who dubs his own world "Earth 1".	Crisis on Infinite Earths #11 (1986)
(unnamed)	Elseworlds	Soviet versions of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, along with an alternate version of the Green Lantern Corps.	A world where Superman landed in a Soviet commune instead of Smallville. Bizarro visited this Earth during the Superman/Batman "Vengeance" storyarc. Although debuted on Superman: Red Son #1, an early cameo appearance of this Earth's Superman is seen in 1999's The Kingdom #2.	Superman: Red Son #1 (2001)
Pocket Universe (unnamed)	Post-Crisis	The first post-Crisis versions of Superboy, the Phantom Zone residents General Zod, Quex-Ul, Faora Hu-Ul and Supergirl (Matrix). This Earth also had versions of Bruce Wayne, Oliver Queen, Lex Luthor, Lana Lang and Jonathan and Mary Kent.	First alternate Earth following Crisis on Infinite Earths. It was an artificial world created by the Time Trapper, a long-time foe of the Legion of Super-Heroes, to act as the source of the legendary (but now fictitious) Superboy whose legends inspired the Legion. This Earth was rendered lifeless by three super powered villains. It was not seen again until the last Legion story arc prior to Zero Hour.	Superman #8 (1987)
Anti-Matter Universe	Post-Crisis	Crime Syndicate of America: Ultraman, Superwoman, Owlman, Power Ring, and Johnny Quick. Justice Underground: Alexander Luthor, Sir Solomon Grundy, General Grodd, Q-Ranger, Lady Sonar, Star Sapphire, and the Quizmaster.	A post-Crisis Antimatter Earth with a Crime Syndicate whose motto is "Cui Bono?" ("Who profits?"), inspired by the pre-Crisis Earth-Three. Originally, the Luthor of the CSA Earth, upon discovering the positive-matter Earth, named his world, "Earth 1", and the positive-matter Earth, "Earth 2" (no hyphens). Subsequent appearances revised the naming convention and simply referred to it as the Antimatter universe's Earth, and also established that the CSA Earth existed in the same Antimatter universe as Qward.	JLA: Earth 2 (2001)
The Fourth World	Pre- & Post-Crisis	Darkseid, Orion, Mister Miracle, Big Barda.	The Fourth World is a continuum inhabited by the New Gods. Its two main worlds, New Genesis and Apokolips, are mirror reflections of each other: New Genesis, the bright, glorious home ruled by Highfather, and Apokolips, the fiery, horrific home of the evil warlord Darkseid and his minions. Inhabitants of these worlds have been frequent visitors to Earth-One and Post-Crisis Earth, but it has been shown that they could venture into any number of alternate worlds. The Fourth World was not affected by the Crisis on Infinite Earths. It has not been established whether it is a separate universe, or whether it is a kind of dimension linked to each Earth in the same way as the homes of the Old Gods, such as Olympus and Asgard. In the latter case each Earth would have its own set of New Gods so that there would, for example, be parallel Darkseids of the various parallel universes.	Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #133
Earth-Dakota	Post-Zero Hour	Icon, Static, Hardware and Blood Syndicate	In 1993, word of a Big Bang gang war on Paris Island resulted in Mayor Jefferson ordering enforcement officials to spray every gang member present with an experimental tear gas laced with a radioactive marker that would allow the police to track the participants down later. Survivors then became known as "bang babies" given mutagenic abilities.	Icon #1 (1993)
Earth-616	Post-Zero Hour	All main-continuity Marvel Comics characters.	Although part of a separate Multiverse, the Marvel Universe crossed-over with Post-Crisis Earth in 2003 for JLA/Avengers. See Marvel Universe and Marvel Multiverse.	Motion Picture Funnies Weekly (1939)
Earth-9602	Post-Crisis	Amalgamated DC/Marvel Comics characters including Super-Soldier (Superman/Captain America), Dark Claw (Batman/Wolverine) and JLX (Justice League/X-Men).	A head to head battle with DC and Marvel Characters for the survival of their universe ended in a draw, both universes were combined. For the comics that were published, an entire history existed for each of the combined characters.	DC vs Marvel (1996)

The 52

A new Multiverse was revealed at the end of the 52 weekly limited series. Unlike the original Multiverse, which was composed of an infinite number of alternate universes, this Multiverse is composed of only fifty-two alternate universes, which are referred to as New Earth and Earths 1 through 51. The alternate universes were originally identical to New Earth and contained the same history and people until Mister Mind "devoured" portions of each Earth’s history, creating new, distinct Earths with their own histories and people, such as the Nazi-themed version of the Justice League that exists in Earth-10. Each of the alternate universes have their own parallel dimensions, divergent timelines, microverses, etc, branching off them.

The Guardians of the Universe serve as protectors of the new Multiverse. Each universe within the Multiverse is separated by the Source Wall, behind which Anti-Life keeps the universes apart. The Bleed permeates the Anti-Life in unpredictable places behind the Source Wall, allowing for transport between the universes. The destruction of New Earth would set off a chain reaction that would destroy the other fifty-one alternate universes at the same time, leaving only the Antimatter Universe in existence. As a consequence of Alexander Luthor's attempts to recreate the Multiverse, fifty-two new Monitors were created to oversee the fifty-two universes created afterwards. The Monitors seek to protect the Multiverse from people who crossover from one alternate universe to another, through the Bleed or through innate ability, who the Monitors have labeled "anomalies".
