All timelines owe a debt to "Comments on a Finite Number of Earths" by Lou
Mougin and Mark Waid, in the Official Crisis On Infinite Earths Crossover
Index (via The Captain's Atlas
of the Multiverse). I have also made liberal use of Mike Benton's Superhero
Comics of the Golden Age, Richard Boucher's Good
Guys & Gals of the Golden Age, DC's Who's Who, Michael Fleischer's
The Great Superman Book and The Batman Encyclopedia, several books
by Dennis Gifford, Jess Nevins'
Golden Age Hero Directory, Jeff Rovin's Encyclopedia of Superheroes,
and Jim Steranko's History of the Comics. Many of the Marvel profiles
are from the superb Marvel Universe
Appendix. I would also like to thank John Wells for his dimensional designations
directory and information which appeared in Crisis on Infinite Earths: The
Absolute Edition compendium, and Loki for contributing the listing from
the Zenith strip, information from the Top Ten A-Z, as well as
all the Adventures of Luther Arkwritght and Exiles entries.

Revealed as a distinct parallel world in The Flash #123 (September, 1961)
and named in Justice League of America #21 (August, 1963). Note
that according to Action #300, as Earth-1's sun changes from yellow to
red, the result is a terrible drought which dries up Earth's oceans by 852,057
A.D., turning water into an artificially manufactured and precious commodity
and finally forcing humanity to abandon the planet altogether; according to
The Flash #146, Earth-1's sun is slated to go nova in 150,159,920 A.D.
Earth-1 was also home to Gena "The Caryatid" Marconi of Precinct 1 of Terra
Gamma's Neopolis, a stone giant who fought King Peacock of Precinct 10 in a
gladiatorial arena on a Rome-never-fell parallel identified as Grand Central
(Earth-54).

2401 of Terra Gamma's Neopolis. Loki notes that this says little about this

of mechanical evolution). Also the Earth from which Donna Troy was saved by
the Anti-Monitor and turned into Dark Angel.

Atom), Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner), Huntress (Helena Bertinelli), and Firestorm

Earth 9/The Hub: Captain
England and Opal Luna Saturnyne's Dimensional Development Court. Earth-9 is a cyber-governed parallel also known as Turingville,
origin world of the robotic officer Joe Pi from Terra Gamma's Neopolis. It's
a world where the robots rebelled, took over, and turned the world into a democratic
utopia. This highly
technologically advanced reality level may also be the home of Moon
Ghost, the spacebound Captain America glimpsed in the Bicentennial Battles
(who is later elected President, as per Paradise X: The Heralds #3),
and where "What if Nick Fury had fought World War II in outer space?"
took place. First designated in Mighty World of Marvel #13. The Marvel Appendix

Hillman heroes by Anton Psychopoulos.
An Earth 43 Review: An Earth on which the
Titanic never sank, and in which Superman and Luthor died in battle unbeknownst
to the general public. A replacement Superman was groomed in Kandor but he eventually
traded places with the Kal-El of Earth-215 (the latter's Lois Lane had been
killed, leading him to propose to the Lois on this world). The names of Smallville
and Metropolis are respelled as Smallvile and Metropolus. Evil counterparts
of the Legion of Super-Heroes existed in the 30th century of this world's timeline.

Earth 54: A technologically advanced Earth whose Tommy Tomorrow became
the first man on Mars in 1960 ( from Real Fact #'s 6, 8, 13, 16). This
reality level may be the home of the ultimate Batman as seen in Planetary/Batman:
Night on Earth and possibly the oddly mundane/futuristic home of Ultra the
Multi-Alien. It's also possible this history diverged from Vertigo mini-series
Sebastian O. Numerical designation by John Wells. According to Top
10 A-Z, Earth-54 is Grand Central, the afore-mentioned Roman parallel, its
capital city the officially recognised centre of the Omniverse; whether these
two similarly designated Earths are identical has not been confirmed. Designation
canon as of AbsCoIE.

pilot) and Lois and Superman's daughter Lola (Supermaid!) want to get married

and elopes with Lola. When Superman and Lois find out, Jimmy Jr. gives Lois
the serum, too. Superman reveals his secret ID to the world, now that he doesn't
have to worry about Lois getting hurt anymore, but Luthor booby traps a wedding
gift to Jimmy Jr. and Lola that robs Jimmy Jr. and Lois of their serum-derived
powers, and if they take the serum again, they'll die! Numerical designation
