Ten Reasons that Doctor Who is like Scooby-Doo!

And now for something completely different!
Here's a fun break for our usual chronologies...



Reasons that Doctor Who is like Scooby-Doo!



1. Running
2. The supernatural menace always has a non-supernatural explanation.
3. Occasionally there are annoying companions (i.e. Scrappy-Doo)4. Shaggy's stomach is bigger on the inside.5. They are much older than they look.6. They spend all their time travelling, and very rarely are they looking for trouble. Usually they show up to visit a place and surprise, there's a mystery to be solved.7. They've both been around since the 60s.8. Nobody believes in the supernatural, but they don't question a talking dog. Likewise nobody seems to question a big blue box appearing in the oddest places.
9. Alons-y, Geronimo, Zoinks, Jinkies
10. Just like the Doctor, they were the same exact clothes every day.

The TVCU's How the Grinch Missed Christmas

Every Christmas I post something holiday related.  This Christmas I intended to cover the Grinch, particularly since I'm also currently working on Cartoon Multiverse:  The Cartoon Crossover Encyclopedia, but my schedule has been so full that I just haven't had the time.

So Merry Belated Christmas!

 



1954--SEUSSICAL--This musical adapts Horton Hears a Who but combines it with crossovers with the Grinch and other Dr. Seuss characters.  This confirms that Whoville and the Whos from Horton and the Grinch are the same.  Whoville is a miniature world that exists in a speck.  When Horton encounters it, it is on a speck of dust on a clover flower in the jungle in which the elephant lives.  In the original Grinch story, Whoville is described to resemble Easthampton, MA, located near Dr. Seuss's home of Springfield, MA, but the Grinch live action film shows that it exists within a snowflake.  Though I'd love to claim Easthampton, the town next to my Northampton, as Whoville in order to give myself another personal crossover, I'm going to have to accept that indeed Whoville exists within a speck, which likely is really some sort of microverse that may travel, which would explain how the speck itself can travel.  The animated version of Horton Hears a Who (from the 1970s) makes it clearer that  the Whos of Whoville are the same in both Horton and Grinch.  Then in the more recent 2008 feature length version of Horton Hears a Who, the young Whos are seen making a Grinch Snowman.  Note that the Grinch himself is not a Who.  The Grinch was mistakenly delivered by a stork to the  Whos.  The Grinch not only appears to look very differently, he also exhibits super-strength.  The Star Trek crossover later in this timeline explains through inference that the Grinch is actually an alien.  Though not a crossover at all, I have to point out that the Laurel and Hardy film Babes in Toyland (aka March of the Wooden Soldiers) features Bogey Men that live in the caves under Toyland that strongly resemble the Grinch.  That film predates Dr. Suess's Grinch by about two decades.  Seussical's appearance on this timeline is retroactive. Seussical is a musical with the main story being a retelling of Horton Hears a Who, but with cameos of other famous characters. So it is placed to take place when Horton Hears a Who was published. This appearance of the Grinch takes place prior to his first published appearance.



1955--THE HOOBUB AND THE GRINCH--The first appearance of the Grinch.

December 1957--HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS--Dated based on the publication date of the original story.  However, I consider the cartoon to be the same events as the book.  I also consider the Jim Carrey film to be the same events.  The film adapts the original story exactly, and then adds in filler, sort of like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.



December 1959?--LOST ISSUES--Click here for more Grinch team-ups.



Sometime between How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Halloween is Grinch Night--ROBOT CHICKEN--"Robot Chicken's DP Christmas Special"--Demonstrated to be a separate reality within the same multiverse as Family Guy.  In "Robot Chicken's DP Christmas Special", the Grinch visits a doctor due to his heart growing three sizes.  Note that if the doctor did "fix" his heart, restoring it to its original size, it could explain why the Grinch returned to his old ways after his Christmas redemption.  Because of that, I'm including this entry twice, in the Alternate Realities section and in the main timeline. [I have occasionally added sketches from Robot Chicken and other sketch comedy shows into the main timelines previously when the sketches seem to work well for the timeline.]

October 1977--HALLOWEEN IS GRINCH NIGHT--Because it is.  Note that despite his Christmas experience, the Grinch didn't seem to completely reform from his old ways.

1982--THE GRINCH GRINCHES THE CAT IN THE HAT--Do I need to even describe this?  The Grinch battles The Cat in the Hat.

THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS (ANIMATED SERIES)
SEASON 1 EPISODE 13 “X-MAS MARKS THE SPOT”
Release Date: December 13, 1986 (Setting is Contemporary Christmas)
Non-Horror Crosses: A Christmas Carol
The Story: The Ghostbusters walk through some thick fog and are transported to Victorian era London where they interrupt the events of the three ghosts teaching Ebenezer Scrooge his lesson about the true meaning of Christmas by capturing the ghosts. Returning to the present, they find the world a much colder, darker place. They realize their alteration of the timeline has caused this, and return to the past to set the ghosts free to continue their lesson.
Notes: This story brings A Christmas Carol into the Horror Universe. Though a ghost story with spooky moments, I don’t consider the Charles Dickens classic a horror novel. It’s just too ingrained in my mind as a Christmas tale, associated with It’s a Wonderful Life, Rudolph, Frosty, the Grinch, and Charlie Brown.



December 1992--TINY TOON ADVENTURES--"It's a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special"--A blue Grinch appears attempting to steal Christmas.  Note that for this timeline I didn't separate live action and animation for the most part.  It was too complicated.  Because of the nature of Whoville as a possible microverse that travels, it's probable that Whoville touches many realities within the multiverse.  Below in the Alternate Realities section I only included appearances of the Grinch is very clear alternate Grinch/Whoville realities.  For instance, Mad is a clear parody and since the Grinch Christmas Special happens in the 1950s, it can't be in the main timeline that Tom Hanks and other modern actors are responding to the events of that special.  Likewise, since I've included the Simpsons in this timeline, Treehouse of Horror must then be placed in that Alternate Realities section since those stories are non-canonical.



1996--THE WUBBULOUS WORLD OF DR. SEUSS--The Grinch appeared along several other famous classic Dr. Seuss characters in new stories.



JOHNNY BRAVO (ANIMATED SERIES)SEASON 1 EPISODE 5 “‘TWAS THE NIGHT”Release Date: August 4, 1997 (Setting is Christmas Eve)Animated Series Crosses: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer; How the Grinch Stole Christmas; Wacky Races; Quick Draw McGraw; The Ruff and Reddy Show; Yogi Bear; Jetsons; Scooby-Doo!Other Crosses: H.R. Pufnstuf; Brady BunchThe Story: Johnny thinks Santa is a thief, and injures him trying to stop him. He then has to take Santa’s place to deliver the presents around the world.
Notes: Johnny wonders why Rudolph isn’t part of the sleigh team. The scene then shifts to show Rudolph is at the North Pole fighting the evil forces of the Grinch. Johnny reviews the list of those who are to receive coal, which are all politicians. Some of the names on the list are famed cartoon characters while others are cartoon creators. Others still are unknown to me. The full list is: President (the only one to receive a gift rather than coal), Sen. L’annon, Sen. Aberg, obscured name of senator whose name ends with “dn”, Sen. Sntstgne, Sen. Dascardley, Sen. Muttdy, Sen. McGraw, Sen. Ruff, Sen. Ready, Sen. Freedman, Sen. Davis, Sen. Bell, Sen. Cowsil, Sen. Ceasar, Sen. Johnson, Sen. Deserano, Sen. To, Sen. Granger, Sen. Hanna, Sen. Barbera, Sen. Warner, Sen. Yogi, Sen. Booboo, Sen. Jetson, Sen Oakey, Sen. Ricthey, Sen. Jan, Sen. Tomtishen, Sen. Pamela, Sen. Blip (it’s obscured whether he gets a gift or coal), Mayor of Aron City (gets a gift), and Sen. Puffnstuff (gets a gift). Johnny brings a gift to Scooby-Doo. Scooby was hoping for Scooby snacks but instead receives a coupon for free speech therapy lessons from Cindy Brady.


May 1999--FAMILY GUY--SEASON 1 EPISODE 5 “A HERO SITS NEXT DOOR”
Release Date:  May 2, 1999
Animated Series Crosses:  How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Cutaway Crosses:  Super Friends
Non-Crosses: Teletubbies
The Story:  A new neighbor moves in next door.  It’s Joe Swanson, wheelchair bound police officer.  Peter becomes resentful of all the attention Joe is getting.
Notes:  Animated Series Crosses:  In a flashback to how Joe became handicapped, Joe fell off of a roof after trying to apprehend the Grinch.  This would be refered to again in a later episode, when it’s revealed to be a lie.  However, since this was a flashback story told by Joe, rather than the standard cutaway, I consider it to mean that the Grinch indeed exists within the world of Family Guy.  Cutaway Crosses:  Peter plays strip poker with the Super Friends at the Hall of Justice.  Non-Crosses:  Stewie becomes hypnotized when watching an episode of the Teletubbies.  
December 2001--FAMILY GUY--"A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas"--When Lois rampages through Quahog in a frenzied rage, she stomps into a black and white scene of a man saying “I’ve changed my mind. I wanna live again. I wanna live again!” before being pushed by Lois into the river below. This is a reference to the 1946 movie It’s a Wonderful Life.  During Lois’ rampage, she runs across a group of children celebrating the creation of Frosty the Snowman. The magical hat brings him to life, only to be a curse when Lois melts the happy creature by spitting alcohol across a lit match.  Peter is unamused by Joe’s joke about breaking his legs, and claims that it was “about as funny as Sinbad.” He goes on to explain that he was not referring to Sinbad the comedian (whom he considers hilarious), but rather Sinbad the Sailor.  Bonnie mentions that Joe became paralyzed around Christmas time. This is shown in A Hero Sits Next Door, where he is paralyzed by The Grinch.

December 2002--IT'S A VERY MERRY MUPPET CHRISTMAS--After Fozzie get painted green he meets up with The Whos from How The Grinch Stole Christmas who confuse him for the Grinch.

December 2007--ELMO'S CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN--Stan the Snowball mentions the Grinch as a real person.

December 2010--PSYCH--"The Polarizing Express"--The Grinch walks past the Psych office.  


2014

DEC 5-25 - HYSTERIA OF THE WORLD PART 2: 










GRUSS VON KRAMPUS [ANTILOGY] - Ivan encounters a demonic elf and a goat-demon menacing a shopping mall, and discovers reports have been coming in across New England that Krampus, a yuletide demon known for devouring naughty children, is appearing everywhere at once. NEGATE members are deployed to handle the crisis, with Ivan teamed up with Ark Gearheart and Victor Venkman of the Real New England Ghostbusters. The Krampus demons are accompanied by devilish elves, killer snowmen, Nutcracker fiends, green grinches, foul faeries, and other yule ghouls. Analysis of the situation reveals that the visible yuletide fiends are the result of the damage to the Veil that occurred in November (HYSTERIA OF THE WORLD PART 1), leaving the separation between the natural and supernatural worlds all too flimsy. While assorted Ghostbusters attempt to handle the many problems this is causing, Ivan seeks help from Velaska Pskowski to see if she can magically repair the glamour that should be concealing these types of things from humanity, and rendering them unable to physically interact with the world at large. Vela's magic reacts badly with the Anti-Logic, and Ivan's full moon transformation (on Krampusnacht, no less) begins turning him into a Krampus. The effect only lasts the night, but makes it clear that the danger will only get worse, as vampire and zombie Santas are spotted. Assorted Ghostbusters run damage control missions around the clock through Boxing Day when the majority of Christmas Spirits finally dissipate, and Vela even dons a proton pack to help out (leading her to conclude that a franchise in Springfield MA might be a good idea). Unseen by Ivan Schablotski or his allies, this exhaustive confrontation is considered a failure for Wolfram & Hart in the eyes of their client, the Fractal Paradox, who had actually ensured that no resolution could be reached before the Full Moon had passed, as they had grown suspicious that the challenges Wolfram & Hart had been throwing at Ivan were stacked in his favor. The WR&H  representative points out that this situation is a global event which falls outside the parameters set up by the Fractal Paradox for these challenges, and insist that Ivan has in fact performed acceptably, given his abilities.


 



The Krampus is a popular demonic European Christmas figure associated with St. Nicholas and serving as the punisher of naughty children; it's origins appear to be Pre-Christian and it may represent an incorporation of a pagan Horned God into church tradition, a tactic used to help adapt a population to its new religion. The green-furred meanie is a Grinch of the type written of by Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel in HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS (1957). Killer Snowmen have been depicted in the 1997 horror comedy JACK FROST and it's 2000 sequel JACK FROST 2: REVENGE OF THE MUTANT KILLER SNOWMAN. N.E.G.A.T.E. and the assorted Ghostbusters which appear here are present-day representatives of the company Ghostbusters from the 1984 film GHOSTBUSTERS. Fractal Paradox is a variation of Faction Paradox, an antagonistic group from the DOCTOR WHO television programme (1963 to present). WR&H stands for Wolfram & Hart, an antagonistic group from ANGEL: THE SERIES (1999-2004).



December 2014--THE SIMPSONS--"I Won't Be Home for Christmas"--The Grinch appears.  
December 2017--SUPERPIGALEX--"Twas the Oink Before Christmas"--The Grinch is the villain.   


24th Century (around the first season around Christmas)--STAR TREK:  THE NEXT GENERATION # 2--"Spirit in the Sky"--A group of aliens that look like the Grinch invade the Enterprise looking for a noncorporeal old man that looks like Santa!



Alternate Realities:

BADLY ANIMATED MARVEL CHRISTMAS CAROL--The Grinch appears, killing Santa.

MAD--In "Da Grinchy Code", Tom Hanks, Nicolas Cage and Harrison Ford team up to solve the case of the stolen presents in Whoville.  Mad is part of the TVCU Multiverse as shown in Batman:  The Brave and the Bold, which demonstrated that a Manga Batman comic, Mad Magazine parodies, and the New Scooby-Doo Movies were all in separate realities in the same multiverse as Batman:  The Brave and the Bold.

ROBOT CHICKEN--Demonstrated to be a separate reality within the same multiverse as Family Guy.  In "Robot Chicken's DP Christmas Special", the Grinch visits a doctor due to his heart growing three sizes.  Note that if the doctor did "fix" his heart, restoring it to its original size, it could explain why the Grinch returned to his old ways after his Christmas redemption.  Because of that, I'm including this entry twice, in the Alternate Realities section and in the main timeline.

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR--The Grinch appears in "Oh, the Places You'll D'oh!"

The Haphazard Adventures of IIvan in the TVCU

Updated April 1st, 2018

Lost in Time, Lost in Space, and Meaning:
The Haphazard Adventures of IIvan in the TVCUby Kevin Heim


IIvan Schablotski and Naut Numb escape the Death StarNotes highlighted in Yellow are recent additions to the timeline.


Ivan Ronald Schablotski has become rather well known among fans of the TVCU, which is probably a bad thing in the long run, since this character is not from television or movies or comics or cartoons. This character is me, as I exist in the world where novels and television shows and movies and comics and cartoons actually happen. The character has been around awhile, and as with any long-running character, he's had some pretty outlandish stories that are best forgotten lest they destroy whatever it is that makes the character likable. Spider-Man once turned into a giant spider and gave birth to himself, just so he could have organic web-shooters like in the movie... which was promptly ignored thereafter.  Supergirl was really a fallen angel fused with an extra-dimensional blob of amorphous protoplasm, just so DC could have a Supergirl without violating their Post-Crisis policy of "no more Kryptonians", till they decided that was a dumb rule. And Ivan Ronald Schablotski spent a year living in 1942... when he ended World War 2 three years early.


Explaining this wouldn't be worth it, since you can see the result for yourself in the timeline of Ivan Ronald Schablotski, titled SOME PEOPLE CALL ME CRAZY . The important thing here is that he saw the error of his ways once he returned to 2015 and then went back to 1942 and undid his good deeds. This left the Ivan from 12 months earlier still in 1942, though, and he wound up living a very different life than his one-year older self who stranded him there. Thus, despite being born in 1969, this new IIvan's story really beings in 1942, where it diverges from the other Ivan's life, so it is in 1942 that we begin. 

Since this Ivan time travels a lot, and his story is already more convoluted than necessary, this timeline follows his life as it happens to him, rather than setting events chronologically. This means we start in the year 1942, and bounce up and down the timeline from there. His life prior to arriving in 1942 is exactly the same as the other Ivan's, right up until 2015, so duplicating all that information is unnecessary.



The Life of IIvan
October 1969 - October 2015 - The life of IIvan is the same as the life of Ivan Ronald Schablotski, since they are the same person until a time travel paradox leads to the creation of two version who experienced different versions of World War Two. For the life of the original, including his WW2 experiences, please see:   SOME PEOPLE CALL ME CRAZY . In brief, he was born in 1969, became a werewolf in 1981, was recruited into the Theurgy Society's Enigma Quorum in 1984, was imbued with Anti-Logic in 1987, formed the Vogue Rogues in 1988, served in the United States Ordnance Department from 1990 to 2010, went to work as a lab tech at Arkham Sanitarium and joined the Ghostbusters, meeting a lot of people along the way, all of which leads to his involvement with a time travel incident in Hill Valley CA that sends him back in time to...

THE SECOND WORLD WAR TWO
1942 The other Ivan examines the Cube George Maxon shows IIvan his Cube

Universal Constance vs IIvan Nerinea in 1942IIvan arrives by accident in January 1942 Chicago Illinois, in full Ghostbusters gear. He encounters police Detective Dick Tracy, who sees his strange outfit and equipment and suspects IIvan is a member of the All-American Squad, a war-time organization of unusual people that mostly perform pubic relations functions to encourage the public to buy war bonds.  IIvan takes a train to New York, in hopes of finding locating a well-known inventor who may have the scientific know-how to send him home. When the train stops near Cleveland due to terrorist activity at a weapons depot, IIvan investigates and finds a man in a mask wielding a Lament Configuration (which he refers to as his "Cosmic Cube". IIvan warns him that his amazing powers come not from the cosmos, but from Hell, but the terrorist, a war profiteer named George Maxon doesn't believe him and continues using it to destroy the compound. A blast from IIvan's Tillinghast Generator causes Pinhead to materialize and he takes hold of the masked villain, dragging him to Hell. IIvan throws the cube into a fire and reboards the train, where witnesses swear he is a hero. Unknown to IIvan, as soon as te train pulls out, another Ivan Ronald Schablotski, accompanied by Nerinea (a woman from the alternate 2015 in possession of technology similar to a micro stargate) and Universal Constance (a woman from all 2015s who is aware of her own counterparts in all timelines) emerge from hiding. As soon as the train leaves for New York, Ivan, Constance, and Nerinea recover the cube and free George from Hell, then to the year 2015, already in progress. Maxon flees to Germany and claims to be a Nazi officer;  with the cursed cube of power in hand, and a head resembling a red skull, he was accepted immediately, leading the timeline to play out more or less as it was supposed to.
Universal Constance and the Aether-Mobile Ivan reaches into HellDick Tracy is the titular detective from the DICK TRACY comic strip started in 1931 (the 2-way wrist radio would not be introduced until 1946). The unnamed inventor residing in the Empire State Building is Doctor Clark Savage, Jr. from DOC SAVAGE MAGAZINE #1 (1933). The All-American Squadron is an homage to the All-Star Squadron (DC Comics) and All-Winners Squad (Marvel Comics) as well as other World War II era super groups and the comicbook company All-American Publications. Nerinea is a test subject from the PORTAL video game series (2007). George Maxon, aka the original Red Skull, first appeared in CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS #1 (1941) by Timely (later Marvel) Comics. The version of Hell visited is from THE HELLBOUND HEART (1986), written by Clive Barker. Universal Constance is an original character, but she is an extra-dimensional counterpart to Entropy Emily, a character from THE INDESTRUCTIBLES, written by Matthew Phillion in 2014.



"Alvin Howell" and Winston Churchill1942 (again) - IIvan Schablotski, the one that arrived recently in January 1942 and stopped Maxon, only to have the criminal reappear shortly thereafter, travels to New York as before but without his victory against the Skull to serve as his credentials, he is viewed with great suspicion and forced to join STFU (Special Task Force Unicorn), a unit operating in secret (as opposed to the All-American Squadron, which performs many public relations functions) in order to earn PUFF (Perpetual Unearthly Forces Fund, a bounty paid by the US Government for killing monsters) exemption. He is sent to Europe behind enemy lines as Agent Howl alongside a vampire called Agent Blood, a golem called Agent Franks, and a gorgon called Agent Rhodes. While in Europe, he meets Winston Churchill, who, like FDR, is not fond of werewolves. In between missions IIvan lives in Arkham MA using the name of Alvin Howell, based on his "Agent Howl" code name, but his active duty status prevents him from having the same number of encounters that the previous IIvan had, and he was only a part time employee of Arkham Sanitarium, never credited with being a doctor.


Agents Rhodes, Franks, and Howl Rhodes in battle-modeAs before, Maxon is the original Red Skull from CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS #1 (1941). Special Task Force Unicorn, PUFF, and Agent Franks are from the MONSTER HUNTER series of novels by Larry Correia, begun with MONSTER HUNTER INTERNATIONAL (2009). Here, STFU is conflated with the Creature Commandos, who first appeared in WEIRD WAR TALES #93 (1980) by DC Comics. Agent Blood is Nathanial Cade, a vampire in the service of the United States per the novel BLOOD OATH (2010) and its sequels, by Christopher Farnsworth. Arkham, Massachusetts and Arkham Sanitarium are from the Mythos stories of H. P. Lovecraft. 


1943
Bête-à-Bête - One of IIvan's early missions overseas is to recover a scientist being sheltered by French partisans, where IIvan finds himself at a castle in the Margeride region of France. Here he meets a werewolf named Ardent who claims to be 250 years old, and was the basis for the story of Beauty and the Beast, though the truth was grimmer than the fairy tale suggests. Ardent was cursed by his father's magicians for being homosexual, as the King refused to acknowledge that his heir would never carry on the bloodline. Belle's brother Ludovic was the hero that broke his curse, but lycanthropy is not so easily cured, and in time Ludovic aged and died while Ardent remained, hidden from humanity ever since that time in the 1760s when he was accused of being the Beast of Gévaudan. Ardent does help get Professor Jacob Barnhardt, a German jew, into Allied hands, and considers joining the Partisans in their efforts against the Nazis.
Prince Ardent is the beast from the story BEAUTY AND THE BEAST as depicted in the 1946 French film of that name, as is Ludovic. The Beast of Gévaudan is a legendary monster credited with several human and animal deaths, detailed in several works of fiction (beginning with Élie Berthet's 1858 novel La Bête du Gévaudan). Some stories consider the beast to be a werewolf or werewolf-like creature, such as Robert Sherard's 1904 novel Wolves: An Old Story Retold and the fifth season of the MTV television series TEEN WOLF (2011-2017). Professor Barnhardt is a scientist from the 1951 film THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL.


1945 
Kornblow and SchablotskiDEC - IIvan, having earned his PUFF exemption, is released from STFU service and returns to the United States. At the airport he meets Ronald Kornblow, a well-intentioned hotel employee heading to Casablanca, Morocco to seize a chance to run an entire resort hotel himself. Rather than returning to Arkham, IIvan is taken to a secret base in Colorado to attempt to time travel back to 2015 using a Stargate in the possession of the United States Government. The Accelerator, member of the All-American Squadron with super-speed, agrees to help, paralleling the aid he offered to the first Ivan in the now-erased timeline, but this time the Atlanteans do not offer their help, as IIvan never met or protected the rulers of Atlantis from attack. As a result, IIvan winds up going not back to the future, but a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
PUFF (Perpetual Unearthly Forces Fund) and STFU (Special task Force Unicorn) are from the MONSTER HUNTER INTERNATIONAL books by Larry Correia. Ronald Kornblow and his job in Morocco are from the 1946 film A NIGHT IN CASABLANCA. Stargate is from the 1994 film STARGATE. The Accelerator is a version of the Flash from FLASH COMICS #1 (1940).



A LONG TIME AGO, IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY...Ivan Ronald Schablotski, having been time-twinned in 1942 due to a paradox involving Nazis, Hell-Priests, and a tricked-out Delorean, fought an epic war against tyranny for 4 years using the name of Alvin Howell. In 1945 he was allowed to use a Stargate to attempt to travel back to the future he came from, 2015. Instead he wound up a stranger in a strange land on the planet Geonosis. Now IIvan finds himself gating from planet to planet, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home...



"Is all this violence really necessary?" 21 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) - IIvan emerges from a Stargate on the planet Geonosis and discovers that he is once again in the midst of a great war. Unsure of what is happening or who is fighting who or why, he initially tries to break up a fight between a human and a Dathomirian, both wielding energy swords. He quickly learns that he is in the way and retreats, having also learned that he does not understand any of the languages being spoken. Equipped with his Ghostbusting gear but no weapons that would be practical against living foes, IIvan seeks shelter while trying to reactivate the Stargate to find, if not his own place and time, at least a safer one. He eventually initiates another warp tunnel, but it only sends him 19 years forward in time.
The Hell-Priests are Cenobites from the HELLRAISER series. the Delorean is the one used by Doc Emmet Brown for time travel in the BACK TO THE FUTURE series. Stargates are from the film STARGATE and its television spin-offs. Geonosis, Dathomirians, and the energy swords (lightsabers) are from the STAR WARS franchise. 21 BBY denotes this as taking place 21 years before the Battle of Yavin, which references the destruction of the first Death Star by the Rebel Alliance in the film STAR WARS (aka STAR WARS EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE). The battle on Geonosis that IIvan discovers takes place during the Clone Wars (between STAR WARS EPISODE II ATTACK OF THE CLONES and STAR WARS EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH), as seen in the semi-canonical animated STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS, all of which takes place well before the "Common Era" (CE, aka A.D.) on Earth, and sets it firmly within the RISE OF THE EMPIRE era of the Star Wars: Legends timeline.


BLACKHOLE SON Darth Vader, in an Elevator? That's funny, right? Maybe not. 0 BBY (The year of the Battle of Yavin) -  IIvan winds up on Coruscant, the planet-wide capital city of the Galactic Empire. His attempts to fin someone that can teach him the language everyone seems to speak draw the attention of the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader. IIvan recognizes the figure from the Star Wars movies and realizes where and when he must be. While being taken to an office for interrogation, IIvan makes a comment about Darth Vader on the Elevator, and "Little Orphan Ani", and though he does not understand him, Vader knows he's being mocked and force-chokes the foreigner. IIvan retaliates, firing his Tillinghast Generator as a weapon. Disoriented by the sight of extradimensional organisms, Vader lets IIvan slip through his fingers and IIvan flees back to the underground Stargate.  Blackhole TrooperHe is recaptured by by a Blackhole Trooper and taken to the recently completed Death Star for further questioning about who he is and what his alien technology does. Once it is determined that the PKE meter can detect midichlorians and other abnormalities, IIvan is sent with his gear to combat the dianogas dwelling in the space stations sewer system. With no natural predators and tremendous feeding opportunities the Trash Monsters were beginning to outgrow their environment and attacking people. Dumped into a trash compactor unit on the detention level, IIvan fights off a few and found that the monsters are easily hurt by proton streams. At the end of each day he is locked in a detention cell.
Coruscant, Yavin, the Death Star, the Galactic Empire, stormtroopers, dianoga trash monsters, Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader, and Anakin "Little Orphan Annie" Skywalker are from the original STAR WARS film, set in the REBELLION ERA of the Star Wars Legends timeline, though Midichlorians are from the film STAR WARS EPISODE 1: THE PHANTOM MENACE (1999) of the RISE OF THE EMPIRE era, and Blackhole Troopers are from the 1979 Los Angeles Times comic strip GAMBLER'S WORLD. Stargate is from the 1994 film STARGATE.  The Tillinghast generator is based on technology from the story FROM BEYOND written in 1920 by H. P. Lovecraft. PKE Meters and Proton Streams are elements from GHOSTBUSTERS (1984).

IIvan encounters a Sullustan named Naut Numb, though that's as far as IIvan's understanding of his language goes. Naut is in an adjacent cell and manages to get Shablotski to pass him the projector from his Tillinghast Generator one day. Using his engineering skills, Naut rigs the device to override the security locks on their cells, and both aliens escape. They make their way to a hangar bay with a Corellian freighter waiting. Aware that they are seeing the Millennium Falcon from the movies about the ship's crew he'd seen in his own time, IIvan suggests they sneak aboard. When they witness that crew running towards the ship, with Dark Vader and his Stormtroopers converging on the area from another corridor, IIvan and Naut hide in the secret cargo holds that had recently concealed Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Leia Organa. When they all land at Massassi Station on Yavin's fourth moon, the duo slip out before the battle against the Death Star begins.
Naut Numb is a Sullistan, a race that first appeared in RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983). The Death Star, Yavin IV, Millinium Falcon, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Darth Vader, and Stormtroopers first appeared in STAR WARS (1977). The Tillinghast generator is based on technology from the story FROM BEYOND written in 1920 by H. P. Lovecraft.




1 ABY 
IIvan and Naut shop for droidsTHE MAGNIFICENT SIX - On Yavin IV, IIvan and Naut Numb acquire some astro-nav droids from some Jawas and try to establish themselves as technicians within the mining colony outside of Massassi Station. Shortly after, Imperial forces overrun the moon, and the duo trade their droids to a Lepi starship captain named Sikka for passage offworld along with her copilot, a sentient humanoid plant named Trung, who have been smuggling Slurm to Resistance camps. An Asogian information trader named Extersial gets them the authorization codes to escape the Empire's blockade of the moon in exchange for traveling with them and helps IIvan get aboard the ship when they miss the take-off. As they enter orbit to leave Yavin IV, IIvan dubs them the Magnificent Six, and predicts that they will have epic adventures together once the Empire crumbles in three more years (none of which is understood by any of the others, who do not speak English). However, as soon as they pass over a Stargate in one of the Moon's many jungles, IIvan has them drop him off so he can once again attempt to get home.
IIvan and Extersial Sikka, Trung, and IIvan, defending their stock of SlurmJawas, astro-nav droids, Yavin IV, and the Galactic Empire are from the 1977 film STAR WARS (aka Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope). Naut Numb is a Sullistan, a race that first appeared in RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983). Sikka is a Lepi, a rabbit-based race first seen in Marvel Comics' 1978 comic book Star Wars (issue 8), and her name is a play on Jessica Rabbit from the novel WHO CENSORED ROGER RABBIT (1981) by Gary K Wolf. Trung is a Flora colossus from Planet X, the same race as the Guardians of the Galaxy member Groot, and his race first appeared in Marvel Comics' TALES TO ASTONISH #13 (1960). Extersial is an Asogian, a race that first appeared in the 1982 movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial but was confirmed to exist in the RISE OF THE EMPIRE era of the Star Wars: Legends timeline in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace (1999), and the race was identified as Asogian in SkyeWalkers: A Clone Wars Story, a 2015 novella. Slurm is a highly addictive beverage from the animated series FUTURAMA (originally airing from 1999 to 2003, though it has been revived several times), but it has a different name in the era IIvan is currently in, which he finds ironic since the letters that spell the name in the alien alphabet look just like the letters that spell Slurm in English. 



THE MASK OF DARTH HOTEP Jedi (and IIvan) vs Darth Nihilus (possessing a padawan)
14 ABY (After the Battle of Yavin) - IIvan remains on Yavin IV, but travels 13 years into the future. As he arrived seemingly from nowhere and without a ship, IIvan is mistaken for a bounty hunter and detained by a Jedi named Taryn Raan, who uses his "Comprehend Speech" ability to determine that IIvan is mostly harmless, only to have IIvan surprise him by wolfing out and stealing his lightsaber.  Taryn quickly overcomes IIvan using the Force and takes him to Yavin IV, location of the new Jedi Academy.  There, IIvan meets several of Taryn's fellow trainees, including a Kryptonian maiden from the House of El and two who look like high elves. The training facility, which IIvan refers to as the "Skywalker Ranch", contains records of an alien god called Pomojema who may or may not be the same entity as Typhojem, and whose appearance is identical to that of Cthulhu, leading IIvan to believe that his new surroundings are much more dangerous than he already thought possible. His revelation that the 'gods' are known to him from their influence upon another world leads to IIvan working with a group of Jedi to help a padawan being possessed by Darth Nihilus, an ancient Sith, long dead, yet still tethered by the Force to the mask he once wore.
Taryn Raan is one of Luke Skywalker's trainees at his Jedi Academy following the events of RETURN OF THE JEDI in the Expanded Star Wars Universe, specifically just after the events in the 2003 Activision video game STAR WARS: JEDI KNIGHT: JEDI ACADEMY, as part of the NEW REPUBLIC ERA of the Star Wars: Legends timeline. The Kryptonian trainee is from the planet Krypton, which was first mentioned in ACTION COMICS #1 (1938) along with its most famous survivor, Superman, though this trainee more closely resembles Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, who first appeared in ACTION COMICS #252 (1959). The elven trainees appear to be from Hyrule, home of the characters from the LEGEND OF ZELDA series of video games, first released in 1986. A statue of Pomojema first appeared in the 1978 novel SPLINTER OF THE MIND'S EYE by Alan Dean Foster, though Typhojem is from BOOK OF SITH: SECRETS FROM THE DARK SIDE by Daniel Wallace (2012) and Cthulhu is from THE CALL OF CTHULHU, a 1928 story by Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Darth Nihilus appeared in STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC videogames, set in The Old Republic era.

To Be Continued...


There is plenty more to add, as I have lots of evidence of IIvan's involvement with aliens across space and time, but I don't want to cover too much material to start with, so that the timelines will synch up when IIvan and Ivan eventually meet.~Kevin

Super-Spinoffs: Girl Power! Part IV: Supergirls of the Comic Book Crossover Universe!

TVCU-2: This is the timeline for reboots and remakes. I make this the location for LOIS & CLARK, and conflate that with crossovers that involve a post-Crisis version of Superman. This could also be called the Comic Book Crossover Universe.



1937--On Krypton, Jax-Ur destroys Kandor’s lunar colony. The alien Brainiac takes notice, soon attacking and stealing the city of Kandor itself from the planet’s surface.  Action #866-67 <8-9.08>, Action Annual #12 <2009> [the depictions do not match perfectly, especially as regards Ursa’s role]. In issue #867 Kara Zor-El describes this as having happened only “months” before she (and her cousin Kal-El) narrowly escaped Krypton’s destruction [in 1938]. Issue #866 captions it “35 years ago,” but that clearly cannot be accurate given other known history about Krypton (and about Clark Kent’s age).

[image error]
1939--[Spring]--Brainiac finds Argo City floating in space and attacks, integrating it into Kandor. Teenage Kara Zor-El escapes in a rocket, encased in Kryptonite rubble, headed for Earth.  Action #869, Supergirl v5 #35 <1.09> [the events depicted do not quite match perfectly]. Date approximate. Action #867 captions Brainiac’s attack on Kandor as “35 years ago,” while in Supergirl #35 Kara, after three years on earth, says “I was trapped in Kryptonite for thirty years.” While neither figure can be taken at face value given other known facts of Superman’s backstory, nevertheless the net difference between them does point toward a rough estimate of time elapsed on Argo City, and it seems a good match for Kara’s differing ages there as depicted in the Supergirl flashback. Obviously Kara spends a longer time in hyperspace suspended animation than does Kal-El, arriving years later.


(Adventures of Superman #444, Sept. 1988)--THE SUPERGIRL SAGA--In the Pocket Universe, Lex Luthor creates a protoplasmic lifeform called "Matrix." Fashioning her in the likeness of Lana Lang and outfitting her with a costume reminiscent of Superboy's, he dubs her Supergirl. After Pete Ross recalls meeting Superman years earlier, Luthor sends Supergirl to the real universe 200 years in the past, erroneously assuming that Superman can travel through time to find her. NOTES: Luthor created Supergirl two years before Superman's second visit to the Pocket Universe. She originally believed that she was Lana Lang, imbued with super-powers; it's unclear if anyone other than Luthor knew the truth. The "protoplasmic lifeform" is an allusion to the lifeform created and destroyed in  Adventure Comics  #271 (Apr. 1960).

[image error]
Superman v.2 #16 (Apr. 1988)--The Pocket Universe Supergirl is unearthed in Antarctica.
Adventures of Superman #442 (July 1988), Superman v.2 #20 (Aug. 1988)--After regaining consciousness, Supergirl finds herself with partial amnesia. She flies from Antarctica to Smallville and encounters Lana Lang and the Kents, who she is surprised to find are still alive. She then sets out after Superman. NOTES:Adventures of Superman #444 explains that the Pocket Universe's Luthor had deliberately suppressed her memories to reduce the risk of their enemies discovering their plan.

[image error]
Superman v.2 #21 (Sept. 1988)--Superman encounters Supergirl in the air above Kansas. After an initial skirmish, Superman deduces that she is from the Pocket Universe, which causes her memory to return. She transports them both to her universe, where Superman meets the alternate Luthor.

[image error]
Superman v.2 #22 (Oct. 1988)--In the Pocket Universe, the three Kryptonian villains wipe out all remaining life on Earth, including Pete Ross and the Pocket Universe counterparts of Bruce Wayne, Hal Jordan, and Oliver Queen. Supergirl is blasted back to protoplasmic form and the Pocket Universe Lex Luthor is killed. Superman uses Gold Kryptonite to strip the three villains of their powers and executes them with a piece of Green Kryptonite. He returns to his own universe with the badly wounded Supergirl, leaving her in the care of his parents.

[image error]
Christmas With the Super-Heroes #2 (1989)--Deadman is given advice by the spirit of the Super Friends Universe Supergirl. She says: "My name is Kara, though I doubt that'll mean anything to you." He admits that he's never heard of her.


[image error]
The JLA and Titans each regroup yet again. The main JLA uses Overmaster’s orbital pod as a headquarters, while J’onn runs a training-oriented “JL Task Force,” and Captain Atom soon forms a breakaway team unofficially called “Extreme Justice.” Arsenal takes over Titans leadership, meanwhile, with new members, a new HQ, and government support.  JL #0, JLTF #0, New Titans #0 <10.94>, Extreme Justice #0 <1.95>. The JLA includes a core of Wonder Woman, Nuklon, Obsidian, and Hawkman III. The JLTF includes J’onn, Gypsy (age 19), the Ray, and other heroes. EJ includes Beetle and Booster, Maxima, Amazing Man II, and a Ron-Raymond-only Firestorm. The Titans include Supergirl, GL, Donna (Darkstar) Troy, Impulse, and Damage, plus Terra and Mirage [the only “Team Titans” remaining in the main timeline—see NT Annual #11 <95>].


SUPERMAN/ALIENS # 1 - 3 (DC AND DARK HORSE COMICS)Release Date: July - September 1995 (Contemporary Setting)Series: Superman (modern age/Post-Crisis); AlienThe Story: Superman finds a ship in space from Krypton. The last survivors of Argo City had managed to escape before Krypton’s destruction, but they had been overtaken by Aliens, and now only the young girl Kara has survived. Superman and Kara fight to survive in a Red Sun environment, in which the Man of Steel is slowly losing his powers.Notes: For TVCU purposes, this is Superman, as portrayed in LOIS & CLARK: THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN. This Kara is not Superman's cousin Kara, but another Kara.Regarding Supergirl in SUPERMAN/ALIENS # 1 - 3 (DC AND DARK HORSE COMICS): But now for the really cool stuff, let’s forget about the Horror Crossover Universe and talk about the now deceased Post-Crisis DCU. Dan Jurgens wrote this to be part of DC canon. In pre-Crisis canon, Kara came to Earth and became Supergirl. In post-Crisis canon, at this point, there was no Kara. Supergirl was a protoplasmic being given life and power by a Lex Luthor of a Pocket Earth. So Jurgens intended this to be Kara. At the end of this tale, Superman thinks that she died, but she escaped in a small craft in suspended animation. So a year later, during the Final Night mega crossover, Superman goes to Luthor to borrow that craft he previously used to fight those Aliens. Jurgens wrote that story too, and he was specifically referring to this inter-company crossover in a mainstream DC title! But wait, there’s more. Cut to ten years later. In Superman/Batman, Supergirl comes to Earth in a the pod, having escaped from Argo. The Superman/Aliens crossover is forgotten, so one would think it’s not canon any more. But the protoplasm Supergirl is also forgotten. Also not canon? During the mega Infinite Crisis it’s explained that another Superman doppelganger, while trying to break through the barriers of the multiverse, managed to keep making history rearrange itself, causing the protoplasm Supergirl to be forgotten. (Actually, Peter David continued her story for another company as Fallen Angel). So it would make sense that this also caused the previous encounter with Supergirl to have been forgotten, but this is the same Kara he met in Superman/Aliens, and she was now arriving on Earth in the pod she escaped from then. Sadly, there’s too much DC intertwined complexity there to include, even if it is all tied to Superman/Aliens. And DC recently decided they don’t like the DC Universe, and got rid of it, and started over with something loosely resembling my favorite heroes.



[image error]Supergirl merges body and mind with Linda Danvers, a teenager in Leesville, VA.  Supergirl v4 #1 <9.96> et seq. Her status thus far remains uncertain in “New Earth” canon, but I still consider her canon for the Comic Book Crossover Universe timeline.

1999--SUPERMAN VS. THE TERMINATOR: DEATH TO THE FUTURE--Sarah and John Connor have been travelling the nation hiding from Terminators. When in the Metropolis of New York, the mother and son are attacked by a Terminator who teleports in from the year 2032. This is noticed by Superman (Clark Kent II) who flies in and ends up teleported to the future. There he finds a future of the Terminators, and discovers John Henry Irons (Steel) still alive and part of the resistance. In the present, Sarah is aided by Lois Kent (they're married now), Supergirl II, and the current Superboy. (See notes.) Meanwhile, "Cyborg Superman" gives information to the Terminators on how to create upgraded Terminators to fight Superman, and Lex Luthor reveals that he helped fund Skynet under the belief that should it get activated, he would be able to control it. NOTES: TERMINATOR--THIS IS PART OF THE TIMELINE THAT FOLLOWS THE FIRST TWO MOVIES. EVENTUALLY I'LL COVER THE VARIOUS TERMINATOR TIMELINES IN ANOTHER POST. THE THIRD FILM ISN'T REALLY CANON OUTSIDE THE "TERMINATOR CINEMATIC UNIVERSE". THE FINAL MOVIE IS CANON WITH ALL THE TIMELINES. SUPERMAN--SUPERMAN HERE IS CLARK KENT WHO IS FROM LOIS & CLARK. LOIS LANE--THIS IS ACTUALLY LOIS KENT. (THEY GOT MARRIED IN THE COMICS AND TELEVISION SERIES AT THE SAME TIME.) STEEL--AS PORTRAYED BY SHAQ. SUPERBOY--THIS IS THE CLONE OF SUPERMAN. HE WAS CREATED BY PROJECT: CADMUS. SUPERGIRL--THIS IS A CLONE THAT WAS CREATED IN AN ALTERNATE "POCKET REALITY", BUT THEN MERGED WITH A GIRL AND GIVEN A SOUL BY GOD, AND THEN REVEALED TO BE A FALLEN EARTH ANGEL. AFTER PETER DAVID LEFT SUPERGIRL AND DC, HE WENT AND WROTE FALLEN, WHICH WAS HIS CONTINUATION OF THE STORY AND WHICH HAS LOTS OF CROSSOVERS, SO I CONSIDER THIS SUPERGIRL AND FALLEN TO BE THE SAME. CYBORG--THIS IS HANK HENSHAW. HE WAS TRANSFORMED AFTER LEADING A FAILED MISSION FOR LEXCORP. HE BECAME A CYBORG WITH POWER OVER COMPUTERS AND METALS WHO BLAMED SUPERMAN FOR THE DEATH OF HIS FANTASTIC FAMILY. LEX LUTHOR--THIS LUTHOR IS ALSO THE SAME CHARACTER FROM LOIS & CLARK.


June 2000--GEN 13 meets Superman and Supergirl. The Supergirl at this time was not Superman's cousin. She was Linda Danvers, a girl who merged with a being from a pocket reality created by the Time Trapper, who combined turned into an Earth Angel.

Green Arrow and Black Canary rekindle their romance, and Dinah leaves the JSA, replaced by Power Girl.  GA v3 #12-13 <3-5.02> [also including the first meeting between the revived Ollie and the revived Hawkman] and JSA v3 #31 <2.02>.
Superman/Batman #6 (Mar. 2004)--Captain Atom sacrifices himself while piloting a Composite Superman/Batman Rocket Ship and destroys a huge kryptonite meteor. NOTE: Parts of this meteor still crash to Earth; one large chunk carries Superman's cousin, Kara Zor-El of Krypton (appears #13). Much of the kryptonite is recovered by Kord Industries and S.T.A.R. Labs, but Kord's is later stolen by Luthor (DC Countdown). CONTINUITY: Both Captain Atom and Lex Luthor's battlesuit meet their end in this issue. The suit reappears in Identity Crisis #1. Atom returns Superman/Batman #20.

Superman/Batman #13 (Oct. 2004)--Kara Zor-El crash lands in Gotham city inside her ship from Krypton. She is introduced to the world as Superman's true cousin, Supergirl (IV). Occurs before Identity Crisis because in JSA #67, an Identity crossover, Power Girl comments on Supergirl's arrival.

Black Adam defeats the Doom Patrol in Pisa, Italy. Meanwhile:Supergirl is hurled back from the future, her memory wiped, landing in Metropolis.  WW III, Bk 2, and 52 #50, D4. Re: Supergirl: Legion of Super-Heroes v5 #16-36 <5.06-1.08>.

Supergirl and Power Girl travel into Kandor, setting up identities as Flamebird and Nightwing.  Supergirl v5 #6 <4.06>
Supergirl and Power Girl leave Kandor, having almost (but not quite) rescued it from the totalitarian rule of Ultraman and Saturn Queen. Supergirl returns to Metropolis, to fill in for the still-missing Superman.  Supergirl v5 #7-8 <6-7.06> and Superman #650 <5.06>. The former story sets this approximately “one month” after they entered the miniature city, above. The latter story implies that she’s been in Metropolis for a while, but that obviously can’t be so.

Supergirl decides to relocate to New Krypton, while Agent Liberty is killed by the mysterious new Superwoman.  Action #873 <3.09>, in two epilogues set some time after the main action.
Supergirl returns to Earth at her mother Alura’s orders to hunt her father’s killer, Neutron, but winds up fighting Superwoman. Her mission is further derailed when the U.N. votes to ban all Kryptonians (except Superman) from Earth.  Supergirl v5 #37-39 <3-5.09>.The story establishes that Kara has been living on New Krypton for “weeks,” creating a continuity break from earlier issues that neatly acommodates FC and other recent events. A phone conversation also establishes that this story begins the same day as Superman’s encounter with the Parasite.




2009--FLANDER'S COMPANY--"Party Party"--The main element of the series is Flander's Company , a company dedicated to the recruitment and placement of super villains, whose talents will be exploited to give work to the superheroes.  Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Considering all the Lawyer-Friendly Cameos and some occasional references in dialogues, Flander's Company is set in an universe which mixes the Marvel, DC, Men in Black, Saint Seiya, Harry Potter, Naruto, Star Wars, Inspector Gadget and Super Mario Bros. franchises. There are some cross-over with Damned, Noob and Le Visiteur du Futur (three other French webseries), too.  also according to the tv tropes page in one episode they go to an alt earth were Superman's spaceship has landed in North Korea instead of America. presumably ssnice word of god says every superman, Expy and Stand in were in ther army of Supermen in final crisis he'd have been there too.  In the "Power Party" episode, we can see Elektra, Captain America, Scarlet Witch and Supergirl. Can you identify other superheroes or supervillains ? At 3:45 is the briefest shot of a TMNT, orange bandana (which would make it Mikey), 3:46 shows what may be the Silver Surfer, 3:47 the red tights belong to one of the Incredibles (most probably Violet), but at 5:57 there are two female members of The Incredibles (meaning we have both Violet and ElastiGirl), at 6:15 we may have Catwoman, at 6:43 is a female Spider-Man (not Spider-Girl, at least, not a very good one), and of course there are others I didn't recognize. In the overall series, There are cameos of:

OTHER ALTERNATE REALITIES: Time travelers, when they jump through time, mess things up. Nature abhors time travel and tries to right itself. This must be what is going on in the D.C. television universe. But the time stream is muddied.

Ivan's Adjacent Timeline, A World He Made
2015 OCT 21 Adjacent - TRAPPED IN A WORLD HE MADE







Ivan's adventures in 1942 (THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WASN'T) resulted in the Allies ending World War 2 much earlier than intended and with no Hydrogen Bomb explosion. As a result much has changed when Ivan returns from the past. The Middle East is a nuclear wasteland, Japan is the 52nd State, and superheroes are a normal part of everyday life. 



Ivan emerges from the Stargate in 1942 through a portal generated by an experimental Portal gun, normally used for creating tiny, temporary worm holes. Ivan briefly skirmishes with the gun's user, a test subject named Nerinea before they join forces against a group of flesh-eating super-powered zombies. They are aided by members of a teenage supergroup called Big Hero 6. They help Ivan get to Salem MA, but there he finds that in this altered timeline his name is David Danvers, which is the alter ego of a super hero called the Leaping Lycosa. Discovering that he isn't even real in this reality unnerves Ivan, and he determines to return to 1942 and set things right. 



Finding people that can help is difficult, as so few of the individuals and organizations he remembers exist now, at least, not in the way he remembers them. Ivan learns of some beings with reality-warping powers, such as Freakazoid and Q, but none of them are accessible and from what Nerinea tells him, they are all too unstable to trust. Instead they visit Universal Constance, a woman who can access the abilities and memories of her alternate reality selves. Constance recognizes that in Ivan's own timeline, she's a Ghostbuster, and agrees to help. Acknowledging that they have to go back to before Ivan changed the timeline Nerinea and Constance help Ivan revisit his first day in 1942, returning to 2015 via a Hellmouth in Cleveland Ohio. Constance vs Ivan

The Portal technology and test subjects are from the PORTAL games. The Stargate is from the STARGATE movie and television franchise.The undead superheroes are from MARVEL ZOMBIES (Zombie Thor) and BLACKEST NIGHT (Black Lantern Supergirl... and yes, I know that the character depicted is based on the 'Evil' Supergirl; remember, these are not the versions that exist in the Marvel or DC Comics). Big Hero 6 is from the animated film BIG HERO 6 based loosely on the Marvel comics. Freakazoid is from the animated series FREAKAZOID. Q from STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. The Hellmouth in Cleveland was first mentioned on the season 7 series finale of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.












Earth-0/Prime Earth (New 52)

Super-Spinoffs: Girl Power! Part III: Supergirls of the Television Crossover Universe!

This post focuses on Supergirl and Power Girl as they exist in the Television Crossover Universe and the greater Television Crossover Multiverse.  I decide while updating my Superman post that the two Supermen's cousins deserve their own post to explain their own complicated story.





THE MAIN TELEVISION CROSSOVER UNIVERSE TIMELINE
This timline includes Supergirl (as seen in the 1984 film)

14 ABY (After the Battle of Yavin) - IIvan, unfamiliar with any of the languages being used, is mistaken for a bounty hunter and detained by a Jedi named Taryn Raan, who uses his "Comprehend Speech" ability to determine that IIvan is mostly harmless, only to have IIvan surprise him by wolfing out and stealing his lightsaber.  Taryn quickly overcomes IIvan using the Force and takes him to Yavin IV, location of the new Jedi Academy.  There, IIvan meets several of Taryn's fellow trainees, including a Krytonian maiden from the House of El and two who look like high elves. The training facility, which IIvan refers to as the "Skywalker Ranch", contains records of an alien god called Pomojema who may or may not be the same entity as Typhojem, and whose appearance is identical to that of Cthulhu, leading IIvan to believe that his new surroundings are much more dangerous than he thought possible.
Taryn Raan is one of Luke Skywalker's trainees at his Jedi Academy following the events of RETURN OF THE JEDI in the Expanded Star Wars Universe, specifically just after the events in the 2003 Activision videogame STAR WARS: JEDI KNIGHT: JEDI ACADEMY. The Kryptonian trainee is from the planet Krypton, which was first mentioned in ACTION COMICS #1 (1938) along with its most famous survivor, Superman, though this trainee more closely resembles Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, who first appeared in ACTION COMICS #252 (1959). The elven trainees appear to be from Hyrule, home of the characters from the LEGEND OF ZELDA series of videogames, first released in 1986. A statue of Pomojema first appeared in the 1978 novel SPLINTER OF THE MIND'S EYE by Alan Dean Foster, though Typhojem is from BOOK OF SITH: SECRETS FROM THE DARK SIDE by Daniel Wallace (2012) and Cthulhu is from THE CALL OF CTHULHU, a 1928 story by Howard Phillips Lovecraft. [NOTE THAT I'M STILL UNCLEAR IF THE STAR WARS GALAXY IS PART OF THE PAST OF THE TVCU OR IF IT'S A FAIRY TALE REALM OR BOTH OR A KINGDOM HEARTS REALM OR NONE OF THE ABOVE.]
1979--SUPERMAN RETURNS--Meant to be a sequel to Superman and Superman II. Superman finds evidence of where Krypton existed and leaves Earth for five years. This explains my Super-Bob/Powerkid stuff in a timeline where there's no Superman, and this must be the "space mission" Superman is said to be on when Supergirl comes to Earth.


1983--SUPERGIRL--When Krypton exploded thousands of years ago, Argo City, which was covered by a dome, was shot off into space and survived, also going through the same time portal as Kal-El. Kara is Superman's cousin, who journeys to Earth in a mission that will save her people. This takes place at a time that Superman is on a "mission in space". I can't help but place this then during that five years that Superman is gone in Superman Returns. It also helps explain why Super-Bob/Powerkid lived in a world without Superman which is still the TVCU. Interesting sort-of crossover. Madame Selena is the villain from the 1984 Supergirl film. She was a fake witch who gained "magic" powers from an object that fell to Earth from Argo City. Well, turns out that wasn't the first appearance of Madame Selena. She had previously appeared (different actress) in the 1950s Adventures of Superman episode Mystery in Wax, where she is a fake psychic who creates wax figures of people who are going to die, but in reality she is kidnapping the people to look like she is predicting the future.  Since the Adventures of Superman is in the same timeline as this 1980s film series, they can't be the same, but perhaps there is some relation.  Or it's just a coincidence.  
November 1984--THE A-TEAM--"Sheriffs of Rivertown"--Face asks Nicole jokingly if she always makes her entrances through a window, like Supergirl.  Of course this is not long after the TVCU Supergirl made her brief appearance on Earth, and made the news thanks to Jimmy Olsen.


1988--SUPERMAN'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY--This special follows as documentary celebrating Superman. Of course they mistakenly think that both the TVCU Supermen are the same person. A picture if the second Superman's cousin Kara is hanging up at a Metropolis dry cleaners.
2009 to 2015--PARKS AND RECREATION--Perd Hapley is a reporter on this show. It's been revealed that writers intend that actor Jay Jackson's many appearances as an unnamed newscaster on other shows and films is Perd. This includes his Earth-38 counterpart on Supergirl. It would also include DEXTER, THE CLOSER, FAST FIVE, THE MENTALIST, BODY OF PROOF, FRED: THE SHOW, BATTLESHIP, SEQUESTERED, REVENGE, BEYOND, PRETTY LITTLE LIARS, BLUNT TALK, CTRL ALT DELETE, BONES, ROSEWOOD, and THE CATCH. Some of these take place during the same time frame as Parks and Recreation and they take in various cities across America. My theory: Some local anchors get hired by the larger network affiliate for special short term assignments. Perd shows up on many of these shows for just one or two episodes. I think he's simply filling in. Note Jay Jackson also plays an anchorman named Mike Waters on Scandal. Scandal is one of those alternate presidents shows like the West Wing, so I don't think it fits in the TVCU. Thus, I can say that I think Mike Waters is Perd of another alternate reality.

OTHER ALTERNATE REALITIES: Time travelers, when they jump through time, mess things up. Nature abhors time travel and tries to right itself. This must be what is going on in the D.C. television universe. But the time stream is muddied.





Earth-38--In the pilot episode of  Supergirl , Winn thought of calling the group with Kara "The Super Friends".  In the episode "Solitude", Non uses the Omegahedron to reconstitute Indigo.  Non is a character originally from Superman II (though briefly seen in the opening to Superman the Movie) and the Omegahedron is from the 1984 Supergirl film.  




EARTH-X--This is what the TVCU calls the Naziverse.  There is an evil version of Supergirl in this world as seen in 








SMALLVILLE--In this alternate timeline that I used to call TVCU-3, but I don't think I should anymore, the Phantom Zone is depicted as it did in the 1984 Supergirl film.  

Super-Spinoffs: Girl Power! Part II: The Complicated Timelines of Power Girl!

THE "GOLDEN AGE" TVCU (AKA ROTWANG'S POCKET UNIVERSE)

c. 1916: Kal-L (Superman I) is born on Krypton to Jor-L and Lora. Not long afterwards, Kara (Power Girl) is born to Jor-L's brother Zor-L and his wife Allura in Kandor. Krypton explodes and Kal-L is rocketed to Earth, where he is found and adopted by John and Mary Kent. They name him Clark Kent. Jor-L's brother and sister-in-law, Zor-L and Allura, also launch their daughter Kara, but her journey is longer; she does not arrive for many years.



All-Star Comics #58 (Jan./Feb. 1976)--Power Girl and Star-Spangled Kid join the Justice Society. Power Girl is Superman's long-lost cousin. The Kid adopts Starman's cosmic rod. 

[image error]

Showcase #97-98 (Feb.–Mar. 1978)--Power Girl is forced to battle the intelligent "symbio-ship" that brought her to Earth. This was the first account of Power Girl's origin.

[image error]

Showcase #99 (Apr. 1978)--With the help of reporter Andrew Vinson, Power Girl adopts the secret identity of Karen Steele. She rescues the Flash and Green Lantern from Brain Wave in Keystone City.

Infinity, Inc. #1 (Mar. 1984)--THE GENERATIONS SAGA--Jade (Jennifer-Lynn Hayden), Northwind (Norda of Feithera), Nuklon (Albert Rothstein), Obsidian (Todd Rice), Silver Scarab (Hector Hall) (first chronological appearances) and Fury II (Hippolyta Trevor) attempt to join the Justice Society, but are rejected. They leave angrily, accompanied by Huntress and Power Girl. NOTES: The Infinitors' first appearance in print was in All-Star Squadron #25, except for Fury, who first appeared in Wonder Woman #300. Fury II is the daughter of Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor; Jade and Obsidian are the children of Green Lantern and the Thorn, Silver Scarab is the son of Hawkman and Hawkgirl, Northwind is Hawkman's godson, and Nuklon is the godson of the Atom.


Last Days of the JSA (1986)--The surviving JSA members are sent to Asgard, the home of the Norse gods, where they must repeat the Ragnarok cycle for all eternity in order to prevent the Earth from being destroyed. Only Doctor Fate, Power Girl, and the Star-Spangled Kid are freed, released by the Spectre. NOTESBlack Canary also survived. Writer Roy Thomas has admitted he'd forgotten to mention her in this story, probably because in pre-Crisis continuity, she had been dead for some time. Secret Origins v.2 #50 (1990) later said Dinah was too sick to attend the JSA's final meeting.

Infinity, Inc. #30 (Sept. 1986)--Doctor Fate, Power Girl, and the Star-Spangled Kid return to Earth. They and the members of Infinity, Inc. mourn the loss of the JSA. NOTES: This story contained the last references to the Earth-Two Superman, Robin, and Huntress in a post-Crisis story. Despite the publication date, this story may be assumed to take place just before the events of Legends of Wonder Woman #4 and All-Star Squadron #60.

[image error]

All-Star Squadron #60 (July 1986), Legend of Wonder Woman #4 (Aug. 1986)--Mekanique and the goddess Aphrodite, who have been using their powers to hold back the full effects of the Crisis for their own purposes, allow the Crisis's reality-changing effects to take hold. 

Justice Society of America v.3 Annual #1 (July 2008)--Following the original Crisis, Superman disappears, and Power Girl heads into space to search for him.  Power Girl ends up transported from this world to the Comic Book Crossover Universe where her memories are temporarily altered.  

TVCU-2: This is the timeline for reboots and remakes. I make this the location for LOIS & CLARK, and conflate that with crossovers that involve a post-Crisis version of Superman. This could also be called the Comic Book Crossover Universe.

c. 43,000 BCE--Arion sends out exploratory Swan ships to seek new lands (at least one of these ships discovers the hidden land of Skartaris). He also (at least in a transitory hypertimeline) sends his granddaughter Kara to the future.  Roughly a century after the sinking of the City of the Golden Gate. Re: Skartaris: History of the DCU; (orig. Warlord #27 <11.79>, #39 <11.80>, -Annual #2 <83>). Re: Kara: SO v2 #11 <2.87>, TM #7. However, JSAC #4 <12.05> reveals that this “origin” was actually only one of many impermanent attempts by the timeline to “correct” for her anomalous presence from Earth-2 (or for our purposes, Rotwang's golden age timeline.)

Power Girl awakens in the present. ZHTL; SO v2 #11 <2.87>, IInc. Annual #2 <88>; (1st app. A-SC #58 <1-2.76>) (The ZH timeline actually seems roughly on the mark in this case.) Due to Kara’s powers and her arrival “craft,” she and Superman initially conclude they may share similar origins. This has now been relegated to an apparent hypertimeline, however, per JSA Classified #4 <12.05>—rendering questionable any mainstream DCU history for Kara prior to the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths #11 <2.86>, when she arrived from Earth-2 [or Rotwang's Golden Age Timeline] via the reality bottleneck at the Dawn of Time. If she did in fact arrive at this earlier date, no explanation has yet been provided.

Power Girl discovers evidence of her Atlantean heritage.  Secret Origins v2 #11 <2.87>. However, JSA v2 #50 <9.03> first cast doubt on this account, meant at the time to be genuine, and the truth (she really was from the pre-Crisis Earth-2, all attempts at temporal logic aside!) was finally clarified in JSA Classified #1-4 <9-12.05> and Infinite Crisis #2 <1.06>. This Atlantean evidence was apparently an unconscious attempt by the timestream itself to reconcile her anomalous presence. It stands to reason that she may actually have no valid “origin” at all within the current DCU.
Justice League Int'l v.1 #24 (Feb. 1989)--Justice League Europe founded. Roster: Animal Man, Captain Atom, Elongated Man, Flash III, Metamorpho, Power Girl, Rocket Red. The impostor "Hawkman & Hawkwoman" resign. NOTES: Animal Man, Metamorpho and Power Girl are first-time members. After this, Martian Manhunter installs Animal Man's JLA security system (Animal Man #9, 1989)
Justice League Europe #8 (Nov. 1989)--THE TEASDALE IMPERATIVE--Power Girl is critically injured by the Gray Man, who is eventually defeated by the Spectre. After this mission, Batman apparently adopts part-time status.

Justice League Europe #9 (Dec. 1989)--Superman aids Power Girl's surgery, who recovers, but loses her vision powers and some strength and invulnerability.


Justice League Europe #42 (Sept. 1992)--JLE vs. Echidna. Power Girl resolves the situation by agreeing to return to the Underworld once a year and learn from Echidna.
[image error]
Justice League Europe #46 (Jan. 1993)--RED WINTER--Power Girl visits Aquaman's Atlantis for the first time. Catherine consults with the Rubikskaya twins about the situation in Russia.
[image error]
Justice League Europe #52 (Early July 1993)--In Bombay, Maya is kidnapped by her parents and their cult of Shiva. The Mahayogi is sent to preoccupy Power Girl and Doctor Light. Power Girl reveals she is pregnant.
[image error]
Justice League Quarterly #13 (Winter 1993)--Maxima chooses Captain Atom as her newest conquest. Just then her former betrothed from Almerac, Ultraa, comes to Earth for her. She lets them fight for her but eventually sends Ultraa away. Power Girl again meets her grandfather Arion, who frees her from dark magic inside her. NOTES: Also contains a Praxis story. This is the first post-Crisis appearance of Ultraa, who was formerly of Earth Prime. His appearance here retroactively eliminates all previous appearances.
Justice League Europe #61-62 (2-3. 1994)--Green Lantern leaves the League on personal business. Power Girl's child manifests its protective force field when Godfrey's parents attack. Godfrey's father mutates into a powerful form with the power of a star. In this battle, Metamorpho mutates into a new form. (#61) Godfrey comes out of his "shell" and reveals he is Gaius. He'd left his family because they drove him to take part in atrocities. His guilt paralyzed him and he masked his appearance and fled to Earth. When his family threatened the JLE, he awakened. He returns with his family in hopes of changing them. (#62) 1st app. Osiris. Guest star: Erewhon.

[image error]
Justice League Europe #67 (Aug. 1994)--Doctor Light, Maya and Power Girl resign. The U.N. abandons the League and Wonder Woman, J'onn and Captain Atom all begin recruiting members for new Justice Leagues. Wonder Woman offers membership to Osiris and Seneca, who apparently decline. The hero Triumph appears amid the time fluctuations of the "Zero Hour." NOTE: The Erewhon storyline was left unfinished.

Zero Hour #0 (Sept. 1994)--With the help of the Spectre, Parallax is stopped from remaking the universe in his own image. The universe is restarted at the Dawn of Time, causing historical changes and anomalies. Power Girl gives birth to a boy. NOTE: This is presumably when the Spectre first senses Parallax's great evil within Jordan. In general, however, changes were minor to other characters' continuity. Over time, after the Crisis, almost all characters' continuities continued to change. This was later explained in the Infinite Crisis as having either been a result of Superboy Prime's blows, or because the universe hadn't yet "settled" into its proper place. Examples of this are the ever-changing histories of Power Girl and Hawkman and the redefining of the Justice League's early days. The most significant change to continuity from Zero Hour was the complete reboot of the Legion of Super-Heroes.

Justice League America #93 (Nov. 1994)--After an unsuccessful attempt to commandeer the League, Max collapses from a brain tumor. Arion summons Power Girl and her son, whom Scarabus is trying to kill.
Justice League America #94 (Dec. 1994)--Max learns that he has brain cancer, and it's revealed he is a member of the Arcana (a new incarnation of the Royal Flush Gang, not named until later). Power Girl manifests Atlantean magic powers.

Justice League America #97 (Mar. 1995)--The original Icemaiden returns. Artemis IV arrives, seeking to assume Diana's leadership of the JLA. She is met with indifference. Power Girl's child disappears.

[image error]

Justice League America #107 (Jan. 1996)--Scarabus' evil erupts, awakening he and Power Girl's son, Equinox. Obsidian goes on a date with a woman named Karen. Guest appearances: Lionheart, Superboy, Green Lantern.

[image error]
As Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman bandy recriminations among the ruins on the Moon… resurgent war rages around Polaris, and the Secret Society demolishes the Freedom Fighters. The Rock of Eternity detonates above Gotham, Donna Troy departs for space with a contingent of volunteers, the OMACs begin to regroup and renew their attacks… and observing the chaotic beginnings of this “Infinite Crisis” from another realm, four long-lost figures decide it is time to return: the Golden Age Superman and Lois Lane, the Earth-Prime Superboy, and the Earth-3/Mirror Universe Alexander Luthor.  Infinite Crisis #1 <12.05>. Contrary to appearances, events on the moon and the Society/FF showdown (both in the immediate aftermath of the Watchtower explosion) cannot be simultaneous with the Gotham or Blüdhaven events in this issue. At least three days must elapse between the opening and closing scenes, to accommodate (A) the events of JLA #120-124 <12.05-3.06>, spanning at least two days after the explosion (on the second of which Donna appears and recruits Supergirl), and ending in Gotham on the evening of the Rock’s detonation, as well as (B) Wonder Woman’s submission to the ICC at the Hague in WW v2 #222-23 <11-12.05>, spanning at least two days, on the first of which Donna and Kara visit her there. This period also must include (C) Kara’s farewell to Superman, in Superman v2 #223 <1.06>, and (D) Superman’s final confrontation with the true Ruin (Emil Hamilton) [Adv.Supes #646-47 <1-2.06>], during which time Lois Lane also visits Diana at the Hague—among many other stories. The end of this tale and subsequent issues then proceed as depicted. The four surprise observers have not been seen since they departed our reality at the end of the Crisis on Infinite Earths, save for a cameo at the end of Kingdom. Note that the captions referring to “the Polaris galaxy” are incorrect; Polaris is a star in the Milky Way, 431 light years from Earth. The date, meanwhile, is derived from Green Lantern’s reference in IC #6 to the new baseball season starting “next week” (and corroborated by the “early spring” setting for Superman #650, “one year later”).
[image error]Infinite Crisis #2 (Jan. 2006)--Batman attempts to recover data from the Watchtower's black box. He's interrupted by Brother Eye, which claims that 60% of the OMACs have been disabled. Animal Man and Red Tornado join Donna Troy's crusade. Power Girl meets her cousin — the Superman of the Golden Age Reality and (re)learns the history of Rotwang's Pocket Universe. Alex Luthor claims that she was not meant to survive the collapse of the pocket timeline, and the Comic Book Crossover Universe unsuccessfully tried to reconcile her existence with false histories. Booster Gold reappears in the 21st century, having gone back to his future.
[image error]Infinite Crisis #4 (Mar. 2006)--Alexander Luthor of the original Mirror Universe reveals his plans to Power Girl, who he's chained to his tower along with the Ray, J'onn, Lady Quark & Black Adam. He claims to want to erase everyting that's "bad" a wrong with the world. With this power, Luthor plans to divide the universe in two. To power his tower, they force Black Adam to invoke Shazam's name, bringing wild magic into the tower. Luthor divides the universe, creating a second Earth once more. Those who once hailed from Rotwang's Pocket Reality are taken back there.



June 2006--Infinite Crisis #7 --Heroes grieve for Superboy. Metropolis explodes into metahuman war. Bane kills Judomaster. Prometheus kills Deadline. Black Adam beheads Amazo. Superboy-Prime kills Grundy, Mongrel, Geist, Razorsharp, Ballistic, Nightblade, Baron Blitzkrieg, Charaxes and Major Disaster. The Supermen burst in to save the day, taking on Doomsday. Dr. Light has regained her powers. Superman (Kal-L of Rotwang's pocket reality) confronts Alex Luthor finally, but is overcome by Superboy. Bart Allen returns, having grown several years and wearing his grandfather's uniform. He claims that he was the only Flash to be able to return to help against Superboy. Superboy heads for Oa, hoping its destruction will restart the universe. En route, he blasts Zauriel and Breach (who turns into Captain Atom). Looker and Technocrat may have been caught in this blast. Alex Luthor blasts Nightwing. The Lanterns merely slow Superboy, who kills Galius Zed and a Lantern that looks like Tellus. Batman confronts Alex, picking up a gun, and fires, but the gun is empty. Wonder Woman enters with a sword and throws it down. In a way, they're even now. A building collapses and buries Alex. The Supermen take Superboy into a kryptonite field, which doesn't affect him as much, they continue to head straight through Krypton's sun, and crash land on Mogo. All of them find their powers diminished. Superman (Kal-L of Rotwang's pocket universe) dies from the battle after saying goodbye to Power Girl, Superman (Clark Kent of TVCU2) is left powerless among kryptonite and Superboy is taken captive by the Lantern Corps. Many of the heroes who were in space disappear. A boy on a beach finds a lantern (that of the Tangent universe Green Lantern). Bart hands over the Flash mantle to Jay again, saying that Wally and Linda disappeared with their twins. The Speed Force is destroyed and Bart's power is gone. Jay retains his metahuman speed. Alex Luthor is found by Lex and the Joker, who is still bitter about being ignored. Joker kills him. Diana, Clark and Bruce meet in Gotham. Clark is powerless, Diana sets out to find herself, and Bruce plans to take Rick and Tim on a trip of rediscovery. Final page foreshadows things to come. On Oa, Superboy plots a way out of his green prison. 32 Lanterns died. 50 now guard him. NOTE:When this story was collected in trade paperback, the clicking sound of Batman firing the gun was removed.

The Justice Society of America formally re-forms, incorporating a whole new generation of legacy heroes, and quickly takes on Vandal Savage and the neo-Nazi Fourth Reich. Power Girl is chosen as chair.  JSA v4 #1-4 <2-5.07>. New members initially include Typhoon, Wildcat II, Damage, Starman VIII, and Citizen Steel. The story falls after the “League has spent weeks tracing bloodlines [and] gathering… intel” on legacy heroes—the “help” promised in July. The constraints of other events almost certainly put this story in early November, notwithstanding the “December” calendar seen hanging in Starman’s mental ward. Note that there is unseasonably early snow seen in the Virginia scenes, although not in Boston or Ohio—a sign of early winter weather that seems to feature in several other DCU stories around this timeframe. Note that the personal history given for Nathan Heywood in #2-3 could be construed to imply that his cousin Hank’s career as Steel (and, thus, the original Crisis) fell only two to three years earlier—but that is clearly inaccurate, and a larger gap between Hank and Nate must be interpolated.

Justice Society of America v.3 #17 (Aug. 2008)--The old god Gog marches across Africa, proclaiming he is Earth's protector; he sends Power Girl back in time to Rotwang's reality just after the Crisis, which he senses is her true home.
[image error]
Justice Society of America v.3 Annual #1 (July 2008)--Power Girl appears back in Rotwang's reality, back just after the Crisis ended, where things appear very much like she remembers. The JSA has become the Justice Society Infinity, and Huntress has resigned. Huntress' boyfriend, Harry Sims, has been maimed by the Joker. Huntress finds Power Girl unconscious and delivers her to the JSI. When she wakes, she meets the J.S.I., but still feels like she doesn't belong. Later, after helping the Huntress take down the Joker, Power Girl's 1986 counterpart returns from space. She calls Kara an impostor and sets the JSI on her tail. Flash and Green Lantern have retired; Superman is missing. NOTE: Features pin-up of the entire JSA by Dale Eaglesham.
[image error]

Justice Society of America v.3 #20 (Dec. 2008)--The 1986 Power Girl flies off the handle. Some of the modern JSA are brought back to Rotwang's world with the JSI. Huntress interrogates the current day Power Girl in the Batcave and eventually relents. The JSA locates them and Starman reveals that his suit is actually a map of the multiverse, made by three Brainiac 5s. Jade says that Alan Scott is dead. 

October 2009--POWER GIRL # 4--"Girls' Night Out"--From James Bojaciuk: The main cast of Big Bang Theory accosts Power Girl at a movie theatre. Big Bang Theory is probably in the TVCU, as in one episode they bought a time machine from the 1960 Time Machine movie that apparently worked (and then they were attacked by morlocks--in what might've been a dream sequence). That said, even if Big Bang Theory *is* in, this would be the AU Power Girl that Dennis wrote about in some of his articles. (From me: I disagree a bit with James. I believe this to be the cousin of the golden age Superman, who also came from Krypton of Rotwang's pocket reality, but arrives much later in 1976. When Mecanique manipulated the Crisis, Kara found herself trapped in the TVCU2 timeline and temporarily believed herself to be from ancient Atlantis, the granddaughter of Arion, but by the point of this story, her original memories were restored.)



OTHER ALTERNATE REALITIES: Time travelers, when they jump through time, mess things up. Nature abhors time travel and tries to right itself. This must be what is going on in the D.C. television universe. But the time stream is muddied.

Earth-2--This world mainly features modernised versions of DC's heroes from the Golden Age of Comics and characters associated with later Justice Society and Infinity Inc comics. Notable character differences among many include a younger, gay version of Alan Scott, the Golden Age Green Lantern, who leads the Wonders; Superman is succeeded by Val-Zod, a black-skinned Kryptonian pacifist; Aquawoman (Marella) is the Queen of Atlantis; Terry Sloan, formerly known as Mr 8, is a universe-hopping villain; and Oliver Queen is the Red Arrow. The backstory for Earth 2 stories is that Apokolips invaded five years prior to Earth 2 #1, killing Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. The ensuing Earth 2 (2012–2015) and Earth 2: World's End (2014–2015) stories depict the formation of a new group of heroes ("Wonders") who try and fail to save the Earth from Darkseid's second invasion attempt. This world's Supergirl and Robin were transported to Prime Earth during the war, where they assumed the identities of Power Girl and Huntress; they later relocate to Earth 2 in World's End. Following the destruction of Earth 2 by Darkseid, the assembled heroes restart human civilisation on a new planet in Earth 2 Society (2015-2017).

Super-Spinoffs: Girl Power! Part I: The Silver Age Supergirl!

The original post I was trying to create was too large apparently, so I had to split it up.

THE SUPER-FRIENDS/SCOOBY-DOO TIMELINE: This includes a silver age version of the DC Universe.

c. 1000 B.C.--A centaur named Biron, later called Comet the Super-Horse, is granted super-powers by the sorceress Circe, but Circe's enemy, the sorcerer Malador, transforms Biron into a horse and banishes him to a planet in the constellation Sagittarius, where he remains for almost 3,000 years. 
[image error]

(Action #252, May 1959)--Jor-El's brother Zor-El and his wife Alura survive the destruction of Krypton when Argo City is blasted into space by the explosion. They later have a daughter, Kara Zor-El (Supergirl). 


Adventure #293 (Feb. 1962)--When the Brain Globes of Rambat mentally enslave Superboy and the Legion and threaten to take over the Earth, Krypto, Streaky the Super-Cat, Comet the Super-Horse, and Beppo the Super-Monkey join forces as the Legion of Super-Pets to save the day. NOTES: Both Streaky and Comet are from Supergirl's era, not Superboy's. Streaky's first appearance was in Action # #261 (Feb. 1960). This was the first appearance of Comet the Super-Horse. His first appearance in the Supergirl strip was Action #292 (Sept. 1962). An editorial note in this story describes this as "a preview glimpse of a super-pet Supergirl will own some day in the future!"




Action #252 (May 1959--Argo City is wiped out by Kryptonite poisoning. Zor-El and Alura send their daughter Kara to Earth, where she becomes Supergirl. Superman places her in the Midvale Orphanage under the name Linda Lee and keeps her existence a secret. NOTES: This was the first appearance of Kara Zor-El, but she was preceded by another "Super-Girl," a magical construct created by Jimmy Olsen in Superman #123 (Aug. 1958).
[image error]

Action #267 (Aug. 1960)--The three founding Legionnaires visit Supergirl in Midvale and invite her to try out for the Legion. She is disqualified after Red Kryptonite temporarily transforms her into an adult. First appearances of Chameleon Boy, Colossal Boy, and Invisible Kid. NOTES: The Legionnaires tell Supergirl that they are the children of the Legionnaires Superboy knew. This revelation was later ignored, and was edited out of some reprints of this story.


Action #276 (May 1961)--A year after her first encounter with the Legionnaires, Supergirl is given a second chance to apply for membership. She is admitted after recovering the King Arthur's legendary sword, Excalibur, and meets Brainiac 5, Bouncing Boy, Phantom Girl, Shrinking Violet, Sun Boy, and Triplicate Girl. Brainiac 5 gives her a duplicate of his force-field belt, but it breaks down shortly after her return to the 20th century.





Action #285 (Feb. 1962)--Superman announces Supergirl's existence to the world and reveals her secret identity to her adoptive parents, Fred and Edna Danvers. The Legion helps Supergirl on her first "public" mission.



In CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE SUPERGIRL, Gary Gerani‎ plays Dr. Elias Thorne opposite Katie Norris' Girl of Steel. Gary Gerani‎ wrote this fan-film a few years ago for an extremely talented young filmmaker named Dan Nastro, the son of a good friend of his. Thorne is the character Gary Gerani‎ created (and "played") in the DINOSAURS ATTACK! trading cards, so what we have is an unofficial DC/Topps crossover!
[image error]

Action #318 (Nov. 1964)--As Linda Lee Danvers, Supergirl graduates from Midvale High School and enrolls in Stanhope College. She continues her activities with the Legion.

BLOODWULF # 2--From Matt Hickman: In issue 2 of BloodWulf, a comic book about a pretty blatant Lobo rip off form the 90's. After accidentally exposing Ogo to the vacuum of space and blowing him up in the process in issue one, Bloodwulf has to make a pit stop at the Pleasure Plaza, which is a space brothel or get what is left of Ogo (his head grafted onto a new body) Why does this matter? Well, the Pleasure Plaza is filled with cameos: Mr. Fantastic, Plastic Man, Elongated Man, Adam Strange, Mr. Mxyzptlk, a Wookie, Supergirl in her pre crisis outfit, Gleek the Space Monkey, the Wonder Twins, William Riker, a Ferengi bartender, the Phantom, Space Ghost, Spawn, Violator, Cruella de Vil, Groo, Cerebus, Stimpy, Lobo, Megaton Man, Maxx, Glinda the Good Witch of the South, Martian Manhunter, Impossible Man, Hammer of God, a Hutt, Jambi the Genie, John Carter Style Green Martian, Lex Luthor in his Superfriends outfit, and Humpty Dumpty all show up in the background. At the end, Bloodwulf and friends have to fight off an army of aliens who look just like the the Jabberwocky. One of the rules of Pleasure Plaza is no Tribbles. A few Federation Starships show up docked at the Pleasure Plaza and the ship the Bloodwulf passes at the start of the issue is clearly a Galaxy class Starship named the the U.S. S. Intercourse. This is also the ship the Jabberwockys come from after they burst out of the Captain's belly as his shuttle lands at the Pleasure Plaza. And finally the Pleasure Plaza is the same type of Space Station as DS9. [From Rob:  Though it may seem as though it would make more sense to place this in the 24th century, from what I gathered, the series takes place in a contemporary period in outer space.  Perhaps this station is at some nexus of time and space?]


Super Friends #37--"Bad Weather for Supergirl"--Reprinted In:  Super Friends:Truth, Justice and Peace TPB (2003)



SCOOBY-DOO TEAM-UP # 6--Super Friends
This is the original version of the Super Friends.  Not the new DC Super Friends comic version.Nice reference to what became of Marvin and Wendy, but what became of Zan and Jayna?Shaggy and Scooby controlling Sinestro’s ring.  Also, the fear controlling the ring is a post crisis element.Supergirl appearing in the costume from her one-time appearance in the Super Friends comic book.Brainiac’s monkey is shown in flashback to Brainiac’s first silver age appearance.Wonder Woman references the previous issue she was in.

Wonder Woman v.1 #291-293 (May–July 1982)--Wonder Woman calls on the JLA to assist against the Adjudicator and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. NOTES: This tale included Supergirl and the Earth-Two Huntress and Power Girl. For our purposes, Earth-Two equals Rotwang's pocket reality.

(Superman v.1 #415, Jan. 1986)--On a mission in deep space, Supergirl develops temporary amnesia after being knocked unconscious by a Kryptonite meteor. She subsequently falls in love with and marries Salkor, the super-powered hero of the planet Makkor, who dubs her "Jasma." Regaining her memory after a subsequent injury, Supergirl returns to Earth, having completely forgotten everything that transpired during her period of amnesia, including her brief marriage. She does not regain her memory of Salkor until more than a year later and never sees him again. NOTES: The chronological placement of these events is speculative. Salkor later tells Superman that he met Supergirl two years before her death, although whether that was terrestrial or Makkorian years is unclear. She's said to have regained her memory shortly after the conclusion of her fight with Blackstarr in Supergirl v.2 #15 (Jan. 1984).

A team of the most powerful heroes, including Superman, Supergirl, Mon-El, and Wildfire, takes the battle to the Antimatter Universe. Supergirl dies fighting the Anti-Monitor. Crisis #7 (Oct. 1985)
Superman v.1 #423 (Sept. 1986)--Imaginary Story: "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" A group of Legionnaires, accompanied by Supergirl (years before her death), gives Superman a trophy of his final and greatest victory. NOTES: This Imaginary Story is not technically part of pre-Crisis continuity.

2973--Jul--(Action #267, Aug. 1960)--The three founding Legionnaires invite Supergirl to the 30th century try out for the Legion, but she is disqualified when Red Kryptonite temporarily turns her into an adult. Supergirl digs the first tunnel of the Earth's subterranean core tube transit system. First appearances of Chameleon Boy, Colossal Boy, and Invisible Kid. NOTES: Cosmic Boy dons a new, permanent costume in this story. Chameleon Boy, Colossal Boy, and Invisible Kid are shown to have already joined the Legion. This story shows the Legion clubhouse to be located in Metropolis, rather than in Smallville, as was shown in the Legion's first appearance in Adventure Comics #247 (Apr. 1958).
[image error]
Sep 5--(Action #276, May 1961)--Saturn Girl, Phantom Girl, and Triplicate Girl travel to the 20th century to give Supergirl a second chance to try for Legion membership. Bouncing Boy (Chuck Taine), Shrinking Violet (Salu Digby), and Sun Boy also apply, but are rejected. Supergirl and Brainiac 5 (Querl Dox) are admitted. Supergirl unearths Excalibur, legendary sword of King Arthur. NOTES:6th Legion app. in print. Supergirl's place in the membership order does not coincide with her first LSH appearance. Phantom Girl and Triplicate Girl are shown to have already joined the Legion. In this story, Brainiac 5 describes the final fate of the original Brainiac (who is described as his great-great-great-great-grandfather): being shrunk out of existence after trying to turn his shrinking ray on the Earth. This did indeed happen to Brainiac in Superman#338 (Aug. 1979), but the villain subsequently returned several times, beginning in Action Comics #514 (Dec. 1980).

This is the last specific mention of Supergirl in the post-Crisis Legion stories and is basically an anomaly. In post-Crisis continuity, Kara Zor-El never existed and Supergirl (Matrix) was not a member of the Legion.



OTHER ALTERNATE REALITIES: Time travelers, when they jump through time, mess things up. Nature abhors time travel and tries to right itself. This must be what is going on in the D.C. television universe. But the time stream is muddied.

DC Super Hero Girls--I'd like to think this fits in the same universe as Teen Titans Go, but it's inconsistent with Supergirl's timeline in the Scooby-Doo Team-Up Universe.

Earth-12--DC Animated Universe--Here, Kara is not from Krypton, but is found the last survivor of a sister colony to Krypton. However, Superman begins calling her his cousin by the time she joins the Justice League. Power Girl is created as a more "mature" but evil clone of Supergirl.

Once Upon a Time: A Soft Reboot

So normally I do timelines.  But I'm trying this out and seeing what people think.  Sometimes I just want to talk about a show or film and how it affects TVCU theory.

[image error]Once Upon a Time wrapped up with it’s series finale last Spring, even though it wasn’t cancelled.They did something interesting.  They ended the series, with a cliffhanger for an immediate reboot of the series.So, ***SPOILERS******SPOILERS******SPOILERS******SPOILERS******SPOILERS***Is that enough?The new season begins with Henry now a few years older, and the usual flashbacks are focusing on what happened to Henry between the end of that last season and the start of this season.In the present, Henry is visited by a kid saying “I’m your kid.  And fairy tales are real.”  Oh, the irony.  Henry doesn’t remember this because… a curse.  Always the curse.  Okay, OUAT overdid the curse thing, but this time it makes sense to start off the soft reboot.So the fairy tale characters are this time not in Storybrooke, Maine.  Instead, they are in an apartment complex in Seattle.   Some are old faces, with new personas, and then some are new faces, even if they shouldn’t be.  Which brings us to the flashbacks.Henry left Storybrooke, retiring as author after finishing his book, and went off to explore new worlds.  He ends up in the Fairy Tale Realm, the Enchanted Forest, but not the same one we know.[image error]He meets Cinderella, who is in the middle of her story.  But wait!  We already met Cinderella.  Her story was contemporary with Snow White’s, 30 years ago, and she had been in Storybrooke.  This was a new Cinderella.  Henry recognizes that it’s Cinderella because of her glass slipper, and he knows her story, but he’s not at all surprised that it’s not the same Cinderella he knew.  Does that mean continuity was changed?  Nope.  Henry traveled to a different world where the fairy tales are being told different.This is important for my Television Crossover Universe concept.  We already know that there were other authors.  The Brothers Grimm.  Walt Disney.  This means that the stories told by the Brothers Grimm happened.  And the Disney cartoon versions happened.  And the OUAT versions happened.  And it wasn’t that one version superceded another version.  They all happened on different worlds.  This means that the same characters can exist in multiple versions in other worlds.  Everything happens somewhere.This also means that I no longer have to worry about the conflicts between OUAT, Kingdom Hearts, Roger Rabbit, and others.  They all exist.  Henry Mills has shown us that.And something else that supports the theories of my colleague James Bojaciuk.  Henry also meets Alice of Wonderland.  But it’s not the same Alice from Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.  It’s another Alice of Wonderland.  James has proposed that there is one Wonderland, which gets visited by numerous girls named Alice, as Oz is frequented by visitors named Dorothy.  This soft reboot premiere supports that theory.I wasn’t excited for this new season, but now I’m really excited.

Electra Woman and Dyna Girl

If you look at our top viewed posts on the right hand side, you'll see our fan base prefers the silly topics.  So keeping on that theme...

[image error]

From Wikipedia:   Electra Woman and Dyna Girl  is a Sid and Marty Krofft live action science fiction children's television series from 1976. The series aired 16 episodes in a single season as part of the umbrella series The Krofft Supershow. During the second season, it was dropped, along with  Dr. Shrinker . When later syndicated in the package "Krofft Super Stars" and released on home video, the 16 segments, which were each about 12 minutes long, were combined into eight episodes.



1976 to 1977--ELECTRA WOMAN AND DYNA GIRL--The program followed the crime-fighting exploits of female caped crusader Electra Woman (played by Deidre Hall) and her teen sidekick Dyna Girl (Judy Strangis), who worked in their off-time as reporters for Newsmaker Magazine (The full real names of the two were never revealed in any of the installments, although their first names were Lori and Judy, respectively.) In each episode, the duo would don skintight spandex in a bright flash of light called an "Electra-Change," get into the "ElectraCar," and use an array of technically advanced gadgets to thwart an eclectic collection of supervillains. They were assisted by Frank Heflin (Norman Alden), a scientist who stayed at their "ElectraBase," operating its highly sophisticated "CrimeScope" computer, a parody of the BatComputer, while keeping in continual contact with the pair through their "ElectraComs." Electra Woman and Dyna Girl was basically a female version of Batman and Robin with Dyna Girl uttering phrases like "Electra Wow!" or "Electra Yikes!" and so on.

July 1999--VH-1 WHERE ARE THEY NOW?--"Superheroes"--While a lot of those featured on this show are the actors who played super-heroes, some of them appear in character as their super-hero characters.  Those who appear in-character to talk about what they have been up to since their super-hero days are Captain Marvel (and Billy Batson), two of the Catwomen that weren't Selina Kyle (one being Miss Kitka, played by Lee Meriwether, and the other being Madam Kugar, played by Eartha Kitt), and Dyna Girl.  This confirms that the 1970s Shazam! and Electra Woman and Dyna Girl exist in the same reality as Batman'66.  


2001--ELECTRA WOMAN & DYNAGIRL--In the 2001 pilot only Electra Woman comes out of retirement. It's a new Dyna Girl. The original stole Electra Woman's husband, which is why Electra Woman retired and is now a broke drunk who sleeps with anything that moves. The new Dyna Girl is a fan of the duo who wants them to be heroes again.  Aquaman appears and Flash , Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are all mentioned as real people.  And based on this pilot, Aquaman was an alumni at that school.  Although the pilot never aired, it has been posted on YouTube and it tends to be included on fan-made "bootleg" compilations of the series.
