cosmos

Most of the big names of superherodom are parts of large meta universes, sharing space with numerous allies, nemeses, and hangers-on across various media from print to television to movies. Generally, if a continuity exists across multiple media (tv, movie, comic strips, advertising, etc.) or carries stories featuring separate characters (comic books, variety tv, etc. ) then it gets its own universe entry.

Most stories, however, take place on a smaller scale, occurring without grander continuity. These are usually isolated events focused on a single character in a single media. I haven’t established a definitive universal realm each time a character like this pops up, but have instead lumped them in a pile of Pocket ‘Verses.

There are literally too many to mention, but I try to make note of them as I come across them to try to keep them from running together.

(SuWhy), a meta-literary universe of fairly tales; NBC’s Law and Order (NBCLO) believe it or not; the cinematic world of Antboy (Antby), The Zoomiverse, a pocket universe built around the story of Captain Zoom (zoom_); the lonely land of Superbob (sprbb); the sketch world of the Joel McHale Show (JMcHS); the Wild Wild pocket World of Batwoman (wwwbw), a sublime 1966 feature film; the pre-CGI, Tron-like land of the Last Starfighter (lstft); a mini-legion of advertising characters (advrt); the golden age comic publisher of Fiction House (FicHs); tsingle shot holiday Captain Thanksgiving (Engbm); the place where super turkey dwells (avery); the French comic realm of Fantax (fantx);
