Reading Convergence, I understood that COIE was averted. Therefore, there was no Earth-United5 at the end of it, which would make Zero Hour and all that came after it not-valid. Also, there was the ''actualization'' of current Earths (when they get transformed in that big panel).
Then, with Superman: Lois and Clark, I understood that the characters from Convergence helped avert the Crisis, and each went on to find somewhere to live and be happy. Superman, Lois and the kid stay on the Earth that was earth-1, I suppose, since there was no Earth-United5 because there has been no uni-verse, only multi-verse.
So, am I supposed to believe that things like Zero Hour, Flashpoint, etc. happened somewhere, right? ... Where exactly did they happen? .... Mind you, it was easy for me to understand the post-Crisis Crisis because in Post-Crisis they mentioned that there had been a Crisis, but it was a Crisis in Time, not across multiverses. .....
IF the theory of the local multiverses is valid....did Clark and Lois skip to a different multiverse....or did the fact that they avert the Crisis ACTUALLY CREATED another multiverse, the one where they now live (the multiversity 52)?
