THE Last Crisis,

The place: the J. L. A'.s universe. It was a time before time itself. In the time continuum, it was before the beginning of the Batman movie series, before SMALLVILLE the series, before all of the World's Finest crime-fighters went back in time to the genesis of time and fought an evil duplicate of the beings called the MONITORS of the universe. It was before time was realigned so that Clark Kal-El's spacecraft landed in '61 instead of around about 1906, was before the present was realigned so that he could become SuperMan Kent Kal for the first time in the twenty-tens.
It was before the future was changed so that Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, and Cosmic Boy didn't meet young Clark wearing corny glass bowls as space-suits on their heads before the 60's. Before that battle with Parallax, with the evil Monitor the genesis of time was black nothing and silence. For a long moment seemed an eternity was a silence that lasted seemingly an eternity, a dark silence was just screaming in silence to want to make a noise. Out of the center of chaos, out of the Big Bang came a giant hand of the creator coming from a hole in space to gesture as if this unknown creator had to concentrate to create this universe or multiverse.
The unknown hand was gone, then, as if it never truly was, leaving the mystery of whom it really belonged to. A cluster bomb of energy larger than any quasar star shone, seeming tiny in the infinity of black space for no one to see. The very substance of the dimension seemed to rumble and tremble for a moment and paused in silence. Then the cluster of condensed energy exploded, changing into solid matter as the energy exploded outward.
Each of these future Earths coming from this explosion vibrated at different frequencies so intensely that they passed through other objects. Some of the energy changed into solid matter: gasses, solids, liquid. If there were anyone to bear witness to this event, the gas exploding outward would make an explosion: sounding out. Energy exploding out, splitting into many different pieces solidified into different globes, planets, Earths: at least 58 Earths, changing the Superman universe into at least 58 universes all in one universe.
The universe became what one might call, a multiverse. Over 18 thousand years later, more than enough time to evolve a sentient race of beings, there was still around 58 Earths,
