Multiverse

"*I have turned 100.000 worlds to dust, looking for Anti-Life, I have grown weary of defeating those destined to lose against me.*"
―Darkseid referencing different versions of his victims[src]
The **multiverse** is a conceptual, but existing aggregate of all universes, timelines, and dimensions existing separately, yet alongside one another on a continuous timestream.

The overview of multiversal travel is that multiple versions of the same person cannot exist in one **timeline**, if someone travels to another timeline they will possess that timeline's version of them, resulting in their memories merging. If they don't exist in that timeline, they do not possess anyone and no changes occur to their corporeal form. However this is not the case if it's a different **dimension**, multiple versions of the same individual can converge in one dimension. This logic has some outliers such as Supergirl and Power Girl existing in the same timeline due to Brainiac's ship mechanics.

## History

### Sword of Rao's sentencing

General Zod and his crew were sentenced to 300 years of somatic reconditioning inside the Phantom Zone.

### Multiversal Sanction

Tim Drake and his superhero friends were sent to various universes by Mr. Mxyzptlk.

### Billy Batson becoming the Champion

One day, foster child Billy Batson were running away from bullies and boarded a subway train. Instead of going to the next station however, the train transported him to the Rock of Eternity, another plane of reality, by the Wizard Shazam.

There, the wizard informed Billy that he is his last and only chance to find someone noble and good enough to replace him as champion. Billy reluctantly accepted the offer, and by saying the wizard's name, he received his powers and became the Champion Shazam. After this, he was then transferred back to his reality.
