Crisis in the Standard Comics Universe
-Ripped off- Inspired by Crisis on Marvel Earths and The Juggernaut's Tour of the Multiverse, the Anti-Monitor continues his 1985 Multiversal rampage, this time invading the Standard Comics Universe (SCU)! What a bastard.
So, naturally, superheroes (hmmm - I'd imagine that Standard Comics would co-own the trademark on the term "superheroes" with DC and Marvel) of the SCU show up to battle him. At this moment, it's these 6 heroes dealing with him. I'd imagine that once Fantomah or Stardust show up, they're guaranteed to drive him off.
Roll Call: The Anti-Monitor vs Optima, UltraMan, Dr. Quantum, Nelvana, Star-Storm, and Magno.
By the "present day" of 1985-ish, the SCU seems to be more of my stuff (Optima, UltraMan, Dr. Quantum, and Star-Storm) than old Public Domain characters (Nelvana, Magno), but that's the way rampant narcissism works.
How, exactly, the SCU's (or Marvel's for that matter) Multiverse continue to exist after COIE is unclear, they must be so different or separated by some barrier that DC's Multiverse is different from theirs. Or maybe it's just fiction and we shouldn't worry about ... no, no - I'm going with different. The SCU Multiverse is different, yeah, that's the ticket.
The great Val Semeiks brings the idea to life, going so far as to develop some special effects for the character's individual powers. Funny enough co-inky-dink, the four fundamental forces of the universe are represented by the super-heroes powers: electromagnetism, gravity, strong and weak nuclear forces. Neato.
