DC Cosmology

**This is the overall cosmology interpretation I came to, this page is not meant to be an official page for the wiki.**

## "Words"

Words don't matter such words as **"World", "Creation", "Universe" and "Multiverse"** can be used to refer to the totality of everything. Context is king here. Do not assume that because your favorite character can destroy the "multiverse" that they can destroy all of the Map. Likewise, do not assume that because your least favorite character says "universe" that they mean a single, physics-based spacetime continuum.

### "Canon"

As of right now, Pre-Crisis, Rebirth, New 52 and Post Crisis are all the same thing. The reset made by **The Hands** were made so effects of all past Crisis were undone. This means that Bronze, Silver, Golden, and the Modern Age are all the same one age.

The Current Multiverse hasn't changed besides expanding without limit with countless universes and a single universe filled with infinite possibilities.

## Universes

The Universes within DC are VERY consistently shown to be far larger than our own. It’s more consistently shown to be infinite in size, but has some statements of being finite (still being vastly larger than our own universe).

Universe has 11 total Spatial Dimensions

### Tier

Destroying, affecting or creating universes within DC are easily at best **2-A** being infinite containing 11 spatial dimensions.

## Dimensions

As Mister Mxyztplk explains, the 1st Dimension is a point, the 2nd Dimension is a line, the 3rd Dimension is the Heroes World aka Material, the 4th Dimension is Time, the 5th Dimension is Imagination and the 6th Dimension is Beyond Imagination.

### **The 4th Dimensional and Yggdrasil "World Tree"**

The Multiverse is also 4 Dimensional as the 4th Dimension governs everything you see on the Map of the Multiverse (excluding the Source and the Overvoid) but please don't use this to downplay the Multiverse saying it's only 4-D when the 4th Dimension is the Timestream which isn't affected by Dimensional Space.

Note: Whenever it’s said “all of creation” or “all of existence” for the following scans, it’s simply referring to the Timestream/4th Dimension.

Yggdrasil and the World Tree are the same thing. All of Existence (Timestream) is reliant on Yggdrasil

### **the 5th Dimension**

The 5th Dimension is transgeometric (completely beyond and not associated with mathematical geometric dimensions), the 5th Dimension is the "Blood of the Multiverse" and "the energy that flows between realms" implying that it's equal to the bleed, contained within the bleed or they exist on the same plane of existence making the Bleed 5th Dimensional (DC-Wise)

#### Tier

Characters destroying, creating or affecting the 5D aren't automatically **Low 1-A** but possibly **1-B** because they are only beyond geometric dimensions being transgeometric and for **Low 1-A** you would need to be **beyond all dimensional scale**. Why isn't the 5th Dimension **High 1-B**? is the 5th Dimension infinite dimensional? It still exist within the Multiverse being outside and completely transcendent to the 4D, Mister Mxyzptlk has destroyed the entire 5D but he can't destroy the **broken** Source Wall with all his abilities implying that the Source Wall > 5th Dimension which it is and the Source Wall spans across all dimensions which DC contains innumerable dimensions making it **High 1-B** further supported by the Source Wall stretching beyond infinity. The 5th Dimension by all means is at best **2-C** simply because it exist on a lower dimensional plane existing as transgeometric which DC contains six to eight geometric dimensions with one temporal dimension and eleven spatial dimensions. If the implication is indeed valid or confirmed or if someone can scale the Bleed and 5th Dimension directly compared to each other than the 5th Dimension would be **2-A** possibly being **Low 1-C.**

### The Bleed

**The Bleed** is an interdimensional plane that forms the barriers to parallel dimensions containing a pan-dimensional room, layers of reality and infinite universes with universes growing within the bleed like crystals in solution connecting to the entire Multiverse being the substance of life itself and the membrane between universes.

#### Tier

The Bleed is **2-A** or possibly even **Low 1-C** since it contains infinite universes with even more universes growing like "crystals in solution" which according to google takes two to three hours.

### The 6th Dimension

the 6th Dimension is "far" "far" larger than all of creation residing within the Overvoid.

### How the Multiverse was created and the World Forge, Anti-Matter Verse and Positive Matter Verse

For Starters, Peperuta didn’t create the **entire** Multiverse as she only created **three realms** which **became** the Multiverse. In the very beginning of existence, there was only **The** **Source** and from it, the positive Anti-Crisis Energies were born and pulled together by the Unseen Hand It was throughout the void of the Greater Omniverse that The Source sent The Hands, a group of super-celestial beings using the Anti-Crisis Energy to birth Multiverses. With the creation of their Multiverse, each member of the Hands would pass on and allow their energies to return to The Source. However the rogue among them refused her fate and wanted a vicious reality meant to live forever in a self-renewing loop of crisis and rebirth. The name of that rogue super-celestial was Perpetua.

She created the first iteration of the Multiverse using the negative Crisis Energies and created her three sons Mar Novu Mar Novu "The Monitor", Alpheus "The World Forger" and Mobius "The Anti Monitor"**”**, as its first inhabitants. Once created, Perpetua explained to them that her Multiverse comprises of three main realms made out of the three basic forms of matter- dark matter, positive matter and antimatter, and created them to monitor these realms. She assigned Alpheus to the dark matter realm beneath creation where he would build the myriad universes of creation known as **the** **Forge** (which is below the Orrery of Worlds) Mar Novu was assigned to the positive matter realm, where he would guard the many universes that rose out of the dark from cosmic crises. Mobius was assigned to the anti matter realm (The Antimatter Universe is a singular realm within the Multiverse, unlike the various positive matter universes. Its creation and nature are bound to the Anti-Life Equation and most of its inhabitants are inherently evil rather than good. ) where he would prevent the light of creation from breaching the Greater Omniverse. Curious, Mar Novu asked Perpetua what her purpose in this Multiverse was, as her role as creator had already been fulfilled. She told him that she would remain to make sure that all of her children lived.

Perpetua called upon Mar Novu to show him her greatest creation. Perpetua had searched the entire worlds of the entire Multiverse looking for the perfect creation, but could not find it. Disappointed in what saw, Perpetua bound the Martians with the Humans, creating the Apex Predators; perfect killing machines that would live and fight until the end of time. Upon seeing what his mother had created, Mar Novu told her that he found a cosmic judgement coming for them because of her actions and that she was well aware of that and wished to fight back. Perpetua then tried to share her point of view in vain, leading her to order her Apexes to attack Novu, forcing him to flee.

Two hundred thousand years later, Mar Novu told his brothers what he had seen and they agreed that her kinds, the Hands needed to be alerted of her doings. They were interrupted by Perpetua who witnessed their betrayals and sent her Apex Predators to attack her sons.

The Hands's response was to send the Cosmic Raptor to stop Perpetua's plan. Unable to defeat the Cosmic Raptor, Perpetua, her Apex Predators and the totality of her power were taken to the Source Wall and imprisoned in it. The Hands recreated Perpetua's Multiverse, allowing the Multiverse to evolve without intrusion. Perpetua was trapped and forced to watch it all.

For the full story...See, Origin of Perpetua (Scaling)

### The Metaverse

The Metaverse is currently the so **called Prime Earth**, the home of DC's main continuity. Normally, universes in the multiverse do not affect each other which The Metaverse is a single universe that the Multiverse reacts to that forms around Superman's Story.

### Number of Universes

In current DC/Infinite Frontier, There are supposedly countless universes with each universe being filled with infinite possibilities. In the power scaling community, infinite, countless, innumerable, uncountable, etc. all have a different definition but i see it as innumerable = uncountable > countless > infinite.

##### Tier

The Metaverse itself is just **3-A** aka Universal since it's just a single universe but since it affects other universes which there are a countless number off this would be a layer or two into **2-A**.

## The Multiverse

### The Rock of Eternity

The Rock of Eternity is located and exist beyond space-time existing in all possible dimensions including the Abbysal Plane, The Rock of Eternity is connected to the 5th Dimension are connected as the 5D can be accessed through the Rock of Eternity.

#### Tier

This is easy to answer as the Rock of Eternity exist in all possible dimensions which DC contains innumerable dimensions making it easily **High 1-B.**

### The Speed Force

The Speed Force was changed around and different in earlier years but it is ultimately an energy field that grants all speedsters their power being the representation of reality in motion, being the very cosmic force that pushes space and time forward existing in every universe, dimension and every era touching all parts of reality containing the knowledge of every place and time. Also one of the Seven Forces of the Universe. The Speed Force intersects with the fourth dimension with past and present existing within it.

#### Tier

The Speed Force is actually quite powerful as Barry and Wally’s race during Flash Wars was confused for the power of the Source Wall and was threatening the very fabric of the Multiverse. we already talked about how powerful the Source Wall was so the Speed Force will be accepted as being comparable to the Source Wall making it **High 1-B**.

### Limbo

Limbo is a place where obscure and unused comic characters reside when they are not in print. It's a complicated and a weird place, The residents realize they are fictional characters but most want nothing more than to be "written back" into the comics. If a character is lucky enough to escape Limbo by being written into a book, they forget their time in Limbo and that they are fictional. Animal Man once encountered this realm. Superman and his allies entered this realm during the Final Crisis.

Limbo is literally located nowhere having no stories, no heroes, no time and nothing ever happening containing an infinite book written by a dead monkey.

#### Tier

**2-A** only because it contains an infinite book.

### Gods and the Sphere of Gods

The Sphere of the Gods is a metaphysical reality whose inhabitants exist on a higher plane of existence than the inhabitants of the 52 realities that make up the Orrery of Worlds, but on a lower plane of existence than the denizens of the reality known as the Monitor Sphere...a metaphysical reality that is the home to all the gods of the DC Universe and is the source of all magic (Magic is the fundamental power of creation and belief in the Multiverse and is tied into every aspect of existence) in the Multiverse in simple words.

The Sphere of Gods IS NOT a physical place with the Gods we see within the Orrery are only manifestations of their true selves which all universes exist within bubbles inside the Sphere of Gods

The Sphere of Gods is described to be a platonic archetypal world with gods who are "self aware ideas" use conceptual weapons which many think is **1-A** but I see them as being completely **1-B** since the Tiering System states "1-B beings can also be of **archetypal abstractions that exist different from the physical from which all material things and ideas imitate or are derived from.** " with a side note saying "**if someone is of a regular archetypal or platonic dimension or a realm, It doesn't make them 1-B. Said character would have to be above 1-C and dependent on the verse**"

### Introduction to Plato's Theory of Forms

* So the basic elements of Plato's Theory of Forms are:
	+ **Realm of Forms:** A realm called the “Realm of Forms”, a perfect, eternal, unchanging realm
	+ **Forms:** Forms are like ideas, non-physical, eternal, perfect, non changing and non extended ideas. Non extended means that they don’t occupy any space. It doesn’t exist in space. Forms are also necessary for existence. You can’t have particulars and the real world without Forms.
	+ **Particulars:** Our physical world is like an imperfect copy of the Realm of Forms, and Forms. Our world and everything in it are particulars, and in Plato’s Theory of Forms, he describes our world as shadows on the wall of a cave. You can’t see what’s actually creating the shadows, but they cast shadows on the wall, imitations of the forms, which is our world/particulars which
		- **Particulars are mutable** (Changeable), finite, physical, extended and imperfect.
			* **Particulars participate in and instantiate the forms**. So to explain this, you can have different types of dogs, and they all look different, but you will always be able to recognize it as a dog because they all share the form Dog, so they all participate in the form of a dog. Another example would be a beautiful woman, a beautiful house and a beautiful car, all instantiating the form of beauty. More beautiful things would instantiate the form of beauty more than others.
			* **Forms of Phenomena and Forms of Concepts:** There are two types of forms, phenomena, which are the forms of objects like trees, people, cars, etc, and there’s forms of concepts, which are the forms of things like beauty, vengeance, justice, good, etc. Forms of phenomena participate in the forms of concepts. For example, the form of a dog might participate in the form of beauty. Or the form of a house would participate in the form of geometry.

So in terms of the “hierarchy” I guess you could say, it would be:

* **Form of the Good** - This is the highest form in the hierarchy. I’ll expand on this lower down.
* **Ideals (Forms of Concepts)** These are higher forms
* **Forms (Forms of phenomena)** These are lower forms which participate in higher forms.
* **Particulars** - These participate in forms, both lower, and higher.
	+ Another thing that Plato expanded on would be truth vs opinion.
		- Truth/priori knowledge is eternal, immutable, perfect
		- Opinion is transient, mutable, imperfect
		- So via Plato’s logic:
			* Truth is found in the perfect, immutable and eternal
			* The physical world is not perfect, immutable and eternal
			* Therefore, truth is not found in the physical world. Everything is opinion, and subjective, viewed using our flawed senses. We’ll never see absolute beauty, the concept of beauty, but we’ll see particulars that participate in the concept of beauty, so we’ll be able to understand the idea of absolute beauty our entire lives.

### **Plato’s Form of the Good**

* The form of Good is the highest form, transcendent of all of existence, but can also be said to be within everything, part of everything, I guess you could say. For example, a dog participates in the form of a dog, which is a perfect idea, which participates in complete goodness, aka The Form of the Good. So therefore, all forms and all particulars are dependent/contingent on The Form of the Good.

Plato's/Platonic Concepts all depend on the verse, someone who is the concept of Good in a **2-B** verse wouldn't automatically be **1-A** or **1-B**. They would simply be **2-B.** It was only ever stated that the form of Good was transcendent to all existence, not every single platonic concept. Forms are the perfect form of things. The form of a story is the perfect story, it doesn't exist in space-time, it just exists as an idea, but story-makers strive to make that particular story, and while they may get close they'll never quite reach it. As a side note, despair isn't a form because it's something "bad" (and thus can't be perfect) only "good" things can be forms, "bad forms" are just the failure to attain to the actual (good) forms.

#### Tier

Easily **1-B** because of their archetypal nature which in my eyes,

**Low 1-C** = lower/normal space-time, **1-C** = higher space-time, **High 1-C** = greater space-time, **1-B** = archetypal/platonic space-time/being beyond or transcendent to any measure of space-time, **High 1-B** = greater archetypal space-time, **Low 1-A** = transcendent space-time, being transcendent to actual any measure of space-time along with **1-A** being transcendent to the concept of space-time along with dimensions.

Note 1: (When I say **any measure** I don't mean space-time where it can be **1-A** or **High 1-B** because if then this wouldn't apply to the **1-B** tier, I mean space-time where it can be below anything High 1-C and below.)

Note 2: What I said for space-time also applies for dimensions but lower dimensions are basically universes (**3-A** to **High 1-C**) with higher dimensions being higher transcendent planes of existence aka archetypal domains (**1-B** to **Low 1-A**) **1-A** is being transcendent to the entire concept of space-time entirely

Note 3: Countable Infinite DImensions or being an infinite dimensional is still **High 1-B**, everything is still the same. This is just for the Tiering System extras/to make a little bit more sense.

### The Black Apple and the Collective Unconscious

The Collective Unconscious is the cosmic force that gives others knowledge and wisdom and is part of the Seven Harmonious Forces. It is responsible for granting telepaths their power and is also wielded by the greatest of minds. The Black Apple, opposite to the Collective Unconscious, is a force around forbidden knowledge. The Black Apple is part of the Seven Hidden Forces.

#### Crest and the Nature of the Collective Unconscious

The Crest is stated to be above the Sphere of Gods along with The Collective Unconscious houses Hecate's personal realm, the Witch's Moon, a metaphor for the first mystery gazed upon by man,

The Collective Unconscious is the universal consciousness, a cosmic sea of symbols and archetypes, dreams and ideas, made manifest existing beyond space-time with no real "time" or "space" only the mind which imagines it for itself. Martian Manhunter uses the Collective Unconscious as a power source, every mind hax feat he has accomplished only upscales the Collective Unconscious.

#### Tier

**1-B** because it exist as an archetypal domain existing beyond space-time which isn't considered to be real implying that the Sphere of Gods are transcendent to the concepts of space-time which is why it isn't considered real making it **1-A** but the mind makes what's unreal real and we all know that creating the concepts of space-time doesn't automatically make you superior and having transcendence over the concepts which would bring it back down to **1-B**. If someone is more intelligent on this topic, can add a little bit more logic and some more evidence then it should be **1-A** but for right now, It's **1-B**.

### Hecate, The Upside Down Man, Lucifer, The Otherkind and the Dark Multiverse.

Kudos to famous quora user: Ezra Haley, formely known as Ezra Eastling.

Hecate is the goddess of magic existing as purely magic itself with the Upside Down Man standing as her opposite being the "archetype" of horror tied to the Dark Multiverse. The Upside Down Man used the source of the Dark Multiverses's Magic commonly known as the Great Darkness to create the Otherplace which is a fraction of Lucifer which the Otherplace is larger than the Dark Multiverse.

Perpetua never actually planned for the Dark Multiverse to happen, It was never apart of her plan to begin with. The **Dark Multiverse** is just a shadow under the primary Multiverse not apart of it being much larger than the Main Multiverse. The Multiverse is nothing more than a tiny fish bowl being immersed and dumped into an infinite ocean (The Dark Multiverse).

#### Dark "Planets"

One formed of every fear and bad decision ever made or dreamt. Worlds in the Dark Multiverse are fragile and constantly deteriorating, inevitably doomed to destruction by their own malformed construction. The “worlds” in the Dark Multiverse look exactly alike to a planet filled with only darkness but we find out that they aren’t actually planets, they’re dark timelines of consisting of where things went "bad" which there are an infinite number of dark timelines.

#### Tier

**Low 1-A** or higher as the Main DCU Multiverse is only described as a mere tiny fish bowl within an infinite ocean inside the Dark Multiverse which the Main DCU Multiverse contains multiple **High 1-B** realms making it **Low 1-A** but we don't know if the Main DCU Multiverse is the highest level structure within this infinite ocean of the Dark Multiverse.

### Thought Robot, Mandrakk, The Nature of the Monitors and the Monitor Sphere

The Monitor Sphere is an archetypal realm and fundamental world where everything is more profound and absolute and was described as a realm of nothingness beyond the Multiverse, the Sphere of the Gods and even the Comic Book Limbo.

It Is the dwelling space of the Monitor Race and where they watch the rest of creation beneath them being only thoughts to the Overvoid. Captain Adam's epiphany on how to send the essence of Superman and Ultraman to Nil is that there are no dualities, There are no dualities in Nil which is why entities such as **Thought** **Robot** and **Mandrakk** are so powerful because they are the only conceptual duality living and fighting in Nil, no other entity embody such a concept or a duality in Nil confirmed by Grant Morrison himself as he states "“**Beyond that crumbling ledge in the Monitor-World, those concepts don’t exist——**” The concept of Good or any concept that stands with Good exist within the Monitor World so for Cosmic Armor Superman being a conceptual being the concepts of what Good is, he is obviously gonna be able to defeat Mandrakk, a being who is conceptualized by everything bad. Cosmic Armor Superman is pure the concepts of Good across the entire Multiverse, the purest forms of Good across the entire Multiverse to battle the purest forms of Bad across the entire Multiverse. Scale, space, time, everything is more meaningful and profound in Nil

#### The Monitors, Cosmic Armor Superman and Mandrakk...Who are they?

World Forger explains this that after Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Anti-Monitor splintered into many aspects which were Monitors of Nil, proven by the imagery of the monitor race in the background of the speech, Anything beyond the Monitor Sphere is superior to it and looking at the Multiversal Map the 6th Dimension is outside of the Multiverse residing within the Overvoid and the Greater Omniverse.

#### Cosmic Armor Superman and Mandrakk

When the Positive Matter Superman and Anti-matter Ultraman collided, an explosion occurred, merging the two opposites into a single consciousness. The single mind awoke within the body of of an enormous suit built by the Monitors. Superman's will, luckily, was stronger than Ultraman's, and so he would be the dominant mind in their new form. Together, as the very embodiment of the high concept of Superman itself, they battled Mandrakk, for the fate of the entire DC multiverse. Ezra Haley's debunk for Final Crisis

#### Tier

**1-B**, Lots of Controversy over Cosmic Armor Superman and Mandrakk due to people like Michael Julius and his multiple opponents on comic vine but he has been exposed and debunked multiple times before so follow the comic.

## The Greater Omniverse, The Source and the Overvoid

The Greater Omniverse is the embodiment of Existence itself and is the collection of every Multiverse, universe and dimension that ever came to exist, actually exists and will ever exist in the future.

Within the Greater Omniverse, there is more than just one Multiverse but it contains an infinite number of Multiverses which the Source resides at the center of the Greater Omniverse. The Greater Omniverse transcends the Multiverse (6th Dimension and below) to a greater extent than the Multiverse transcends the universe. The Hands are tasked with starting Multiverses within the Greater Omniverse after receiving Connective Energy which is born from the very presence of The Source, and once they fulfill their duties, they die and allow their energies to return to The Source.

### The Overvoid and the Source

The Overvoid is the "grand floor" of all existence containing the Greater Omniverse along with creations rising and falling every “moment” within the Overvoid and the Source residing on the same level of existence on the Overvoid. The Overvoid is infinitely layered.

#### "The Flaw"

The Flaw on the Overvoid was creation itself, The Overvoid is the embodiment of the page but the Overvoid is NOT omniscient and did not create the multiverse. It was shocked at the appearance of the Multiverse and could not fully understand its existence which is why it spawned lesser monitors to research it. The Overvoid started out as an "ocean of nothing" being the embodiment of the page until that nothing became meaning "something" which entire creations inside it rising and falling underlying all dreams along with being the foundation of all realities where all creations begin then will end.

#### Tier

The Overvoid is High 1-A as it contains/being transcendent to the Greater Omniverse which contains an infinite amount of Multiverses which these multiverses are all Low 1-A because they contain multiple High 1-B realms making one singular Multiverse simply Low 1-A with the Greater Omniverse containing an infinite amount of Low 1-A structures making it 1-A and the Overvoid is transcendent to this and contains this viewing it and everything else as zero.
