SDCC: Morrison, DC Announce "Multiversity Too," "Batman: Black & White" OGNs

[resipsaloquitur]

Thor-Ul, resipsaloquitur, and Dispenser of Truth,

Are you ready to map every earth of all 52 multiverse bubbles (local multiverses)?!

52 bubbles x 50 to 100 earths per bubble = 2600 to 5200 earths!

Let's go!

Oh, goodness, no. I've already been through this madness once. Though I am tempted to list out the Flashes of 52 worlds just to see if we can figure out who Morrison is writing for Multiversity Too. All I've gathered so far is that it's a Barry Allen.

0 - Barry Allen (New 52)
1 - Barry Allen (as done by JMS)
2 - Jay Garrick (New 52)
3 - Johnny Quick (New 52)
4 - Unknown (possibly none)
5 - Unknown (possibly none, though there seemed to be hints of a Shazam/Speed Force connection back in the 90s)
6 - Mary Maxwell (as envisioned by Stan Lee)
7 - Unknown
8 - Unknown (maybe a Quicksilver pastiche)
9 - Lia Nelson (Tangent)
10 - Blitzen
11 - Jesse Quick
12 - Danica Williams (Beyond) (its past should have DCAU versions of Jay and Wally)
13 - Unknown
14 - ???
15 - Unknown
16 - Wally, Impulse (resembles the 1990s versions)
17 - Atomic Flash
18 - Trigger Twins (Western)
19 - Accelerated Man (Gaslight)
20 - Unknown
21 - Barry Allen (resembles the Silver Age version)
22 - Wally West (Kingdom Come)
23 - Unknown
24 - ???
25 - ???
26 - Fastback (funny animal)
27 - ???
28 - ???
29 - Bizarro Flash
30 - Soviet Flash (though Barry is around)
31 - Unknown
32 - Aquaflash (Amalgam)
33 - Probably None
34 - Formula One ("Astro City")
35 - Mercury Man ("Extreme Comics")
36 - Red Racer
37 - Unknown
38 - This world had a bunch of Flashes, including a traditional Jay Garrick (resembles classic Golden Age) and Barry Allen (resembles classic Silver Age)
39 - Unknown
40 - Unknown
41 - Unknown
42 - Lil' Flash
43 - Unknown (probably a vampire)
44 - Mercury Flash (Metal Men)
45 - Unknown
46 - ???
47 - Speed Freak
48 - Unknown
49 - ???
50 - Justice Lords Flash is dead.
51 - Unknown.

12 - Whoever the Beyond character is

Her name is Danica Williams.

This Earth did have Jay, Wally and Bart, though.

Anyway, I suspect that Morrison wants to write an "original" Flash rather than an established one--so I bet a lot of the previously-identified Barrys in my list above are out. So, the Flashes of Earths 0 through 3 are probably not going to be the focus of this Multiversity Too project, nor will the Flashes of New Frontier or Kingdom Come.

From the vague description of the project, I almost got the feeling that it could be about the Flash of Earth-19.

1 list of 50+ characters/earths done, 51 more to go ...

[resipsaloquitur]

Wikipedia has a decent list of the Multiverse worlds, from both pre- and post-Crisis.

Of course, it lists "the 52" and "the New 52" as separate entities, despite the fact that the pre-and-post-Flashpoint 52 worlds are basically the same things in terms of general concepts. I prefer to think of them both being the same thing, with the former having transformed into the latter...Convergence's ambiguity be damned.

I'll confer with my inside sources and provide you with the big 3s of all 53 earths in multiverse bubble #3. Yes, there is an infinite multiverse map out there.

[Thor-Ul]

Oh my, here we go again.
( Psst, resipsaloquitur, about your Flash list:
earth-8: Captain Speed (or Jack B.Quick, I would stick to te first name)
Earth-16: The Flash here is Wally. Remember, Impulse appears elsewhere in the pages of the issue.
Earth-33: Usain Bolt.
Earth-39: Accelerator. (from the agents of W.O.N.D.E.R.)
earth-48: I bet than Danger Dog is the fastest being alive, but there must be millions of speedester in Warworld.

Can we use the ones from our fan-verse?

[resipsaloquitur]

Well, I don't know if Morrison's philosophy is that "the Flash" is always derived from Barry Allen, or if it's a mantle which can be filled by any speedster. I Tend to thin Morrison leans toward the latter--hence, could be more than one "Flash" per Earth.

Morrison loves the legacy guys - not only Flash - but he's also a big Barry Allen fan.

But yeah, nothing prevents more than one per Earth.

We need all the help we can get, friend. Multiverse bubble #4 has 81 earths!
