So what're the Multiple Earths that we know of?

[CConn]

I want lists.

 

[Manic]

There's Earth-2, where the children of the Golden Age heroes live.

Earth-3 has the Crime Syndicate or whatever their name is.

Earth-5 is Classic Captain Marvel

I think one of those Earths is Kingdom Come, but I can't remember without finding my issues of 52, or using google, or wikipedia, or just putting up some sort of effort.

 

[GNR]

Earth 22-Kingdom Come earth

Earth 10 - Freedom Fighters and Nazi JLA

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I want lists.

Ask and ye shall receive.

 

[Darthphere]

****ing Multiverse.

 

[The Leaguer]

Earth 616 is the Marvel universe.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Not according to Tom Brevoort and Joe Quesada, who hate the term for stupid reasons.

 

[The Leaguer]

I said it's 61f***ing6.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Tell it to Brevoort and Quesada.

 

[Anubis]

I can't believe they have the testicular fortitude to even think about going against that which has been laid down by the Great Alan Moore. The c**ts.

 

[Zombie_samurai]

lol exactly

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I bet Alan Moore said something similar himself. Seriously, though, their argument for hating the term is such utter bull****. The people they think would be excluded by its use aren't the kind of people who visit comic book message boards and **** anyway.

 

[Mister J]

Marvel Editor in Chief Joe Quesada and Executive Editor Tom Brevoort have each stated their dislike for the term Earth 616.

“ I can tell you for sure that those of us actually working on the books virtually never use the term--and I kind of wince inside whenever I hear somebody use it. It just sounds so stupid to my ear, and so counter to the kind of mindset we try to foster in regards to the stories we create and the thinking we try to employ. ”

— Marvel Executive Editor Tom Brevoort

“ I never use it, I hate the term pure and simple and agree with Tom’s assessment of it. I can’t remember ever hearing it in the office and only really see it used online for the most part. I think the term really came into vogue when the Ultimate Universe came into prominence, but in my world, the language and distinctions are simple, there is the Marvel Universe and the Ultimate Universe. Anything other than that reeks of all that DC Earth 1, Earth 2, Earth Prime stuff which I’ve never really taken to, but then again, I got into DC when they got rid of all that stuff so it was from and for a different era than my own. ”

— Marvel Editor in Chief Joe Quesada

I don't know whether to roll my eyes, laugh or say **** 'em both.

Hmm. **** 'em both. 616, dammit!

Joe Q's in particular is ******ed, given that Marvel's very own bio section lists characters from alternate universes as "Character name (Earth-####)." King Thor from the future that he ultimately erased, for example, is Thor (Earth-3515) and the Mimic who joined the Exiles is Mimic (Earth-12). How is it counter to what your comics are about if the official bios for the characters of those comics use the same damn terminology? If you really hate the terms so much, why not just implement a policy that they can't be used straight across the board?

Not to mention, Marvel publishes at least one comic (Spider-Girl) that takes place in a different universe than the Marvel U.

So oh yeah, Marvel's nothing like DC's multiple Earths. But it does have an Ultimate Universe, and that Spider-Girl's universe, and the out of continuity stories that take place in their own universes...

 

[CConn]

Honestly, now I wanna see these multiple universes fleshed out a bit. I mean, are the original WW stories now in the Earth-2 continuity? Can we get stories of The Question still alive and rocking on Earth-4? Do Ross and Rachel ever get back together on Earth-10?

 

[Sawyer]

I want a series for Earth-4. NOW!!!

Don't forget the ass-load of universes visited in Exiles. I believe that comic actually referred to 616 as 616.

 

[batnkevlar]

They should make a series called TALES OF THE MULTIVERSE

TALES FROM EARTH3...

 

[hippie_hunter]

Batman being a vampire is one of the multiverses.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Really? That seems stupid to devote a whole Earth to.

 

[Darthphere]

It's like Marvel Zombies but with a twist. The twist being they're vampires.

 

[Fledermaus]

What a twist!

 

[Memphis Slim]

Does this mean that Ted Kord and Vic Sage are alive???
