Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths claims that this Earth "was revealed as a distinct parallel world in Superman (first series) #395"
Problem is if you go read the actual issue it does not say that.
Here is what Xenofobe (a Green Lantern of the 30th century) actually says on page 17 panel 4: "The Trapper arranged things so the energy from our power rings entered the time dimension wiping out all possible futures of Earth but one...a future in which a natural disaster ended mankind's reign...so that the Trapper's foes -- The Legion of Superheroes -- never existed!"
So Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths is claiming the exact opposite of what the very book it references says.--BruceGrubb (talk) 11:00, August 19, 2016 (UTC)
- The phrase "was revealed" etc. is a standard phrase in that book, it just means, it was revealed to be part of the bigger Multiverse/timeline/whatever (not a separate continuity) in that issue. Even some of the realities of the Legion of Super-Heroes were later revealed to be alternate universes - Earth-247 and Earth-Prime. Because with time travel and dimensional travel are closely related. --Tupka217 11:11, August 19, 2016 (UTC)
- You missed the point I was making. The problematic phrase is "distinct parallel world" as in Earth-One vs Earth-399 or the unnamed world where the Pre-Crisis Legion met themselves in the 30th century. Branching timelines look like a 'Y' while parallel worlds look like this: '||'. Big difference.--BruceGrubb (talk) 12:23, December 30, 2016 (UTC)
