Earth-1938 is a one of the many realities in the Multiverse.

History

At some point in 20th Century, the Lex Luthor of this reality was arrested and sent to the Federal Maximum-X Security Penitentiary Number One, in Deming, New Mexico, where he became famous for his multiple escapes.

At the beginning of the Crisis, Luthor was contacted by a group of his Multiversal counterparts from other realities, who warned him about the incoming end of the Multiverse as well as their plans for worlds domination. Luthor left once again his cell to catch up with them on Earth-99, believing that they needed a Luthor with brains: he was then confronted by two prison guards, who seemingly killed him in retaliation for him murdering another one of them.

Later that day, this reality was destroyed by an antimatter wave that the Anti-Monitor had previously unleashed on the infinite realities. One month later, after the Spectre and the Paragons rebooted the Multiverse, Earth-1938 was restored to existence along with the other destroyed realities.
