Arrowverse (CW)

## Summary

The **Arrowverse** is a shared fictional universe that is centered on television series airing on The CW, based on characters appearing in publications by DC Comics.

The first television series was Arrow based on the character Green Arrow, which debuted in October 2012. The universe was expanded with the series The Flash in October 2014, which is based on Barry Allen/Flash. The universe expanded in August 2015 with the animated series Vixen on The CW Seed and expanded again with the live-action team up series Legends of Tomorrow in January 2016. More recently, another animated series began airing on CW Seed in November 2017, that being Freedom Fighters: The Ray. Two pre-existing shows, Constantine and The Flash (the one from 1990), were retroactively added to the Arrowverse's canon. Finally, a live-action show starring Kate Kane/Batwoman began airing in 2019.

Due to the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event, multiple television shows and films have been incorporated into the
Arrowverse. Of note are Black Lightning, Smallville, Superman Returns and Lucifer, which were all significant to the plot.

## Powers of the Verse

The shows of the verse are set in modern day so it enjoys much of real-world technology and weapons, as well as numerous sci-fi elements (e.g. earthquake machines). Many characters are capable of minor superhuman feats, but this changes in season 2 of *Arrow* with the introduction of the Mirakuru (basically a super-soldier serum), which allowed the existence of bona fide superhuman characters. The physically stronger characters have up to Small Planet level AP and Supersonic speeds.

The verse has become exponentially stronger with the arrival of *The Flash*, which has a plethora of super-powered speedsters. Barry was capable of superhuman feats at Large Building level and Supersonic at the beginning, and after his amp in Power Outage, he was capable of up to Small Planet level and Massively Hypersonic+ feats. Barry's speed kept on increasing during the series and by Season 4 he is already Small Planet level and Massively FTL+ after his amplification. Other speedsters such as Reverse-Flash, Zoom and Savitar are able to keep up with Barry in different time periods (Season 1, Season 2 and Season 3 respectively).

The verse became even stronger after adding *Supergirl* to the mix. Kryptonians are aliens from the planet Krypton, all of which are capable of Small Planet level attack potency, as well as High Hypersonic+ speed.

The two most powerful characters of the verse are God, the supreme being and creator of the verse. He sits comfortably at Low Complex Multiverse level via creating the infinite multiverse, Heaven and Hell, and the Speed Force, which is omnipresent across the time-space of the infinite. Other god tiers include Mister Mxyzptlk, a very powerful reality warper from the 5th dimension. The top tiers are Small Planet level in terms of AP and up to Hypersonic to Massively in terms of speed. There are also angels such as Manny who sit at Large Town level so far.
