If there's a trigger in the code that checks to see if the universe field is a number (I think there is, from what I see, but I'm no expert), it might as well just use whatever the input is instead of processing the data at all. We don't usually just type earth-numbers into that field without the "earth-" preceding it.

The assumption that all universes follow an "Earth-####" format is a Marvel thing, not a DC thing.
