Editing Earth-Two (section)

===Abandonment: ''Crisis on Infinite Earths''===
''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'' (1985–1986) was an effort by DC Comics to clean up their continuity, resulting in the multiple universes combining into one. Since then, a handful of characters originating from Earth-Two have consistently remained part of the merged Earth, including [[Power Girl]], [[Flash (Jay Garrick)|Jay Garrick]], and [[Alan Scott]]. Superman and Lois Lane from Earth-Two (along with [[Superboy-Prime|Superboy]] from [[Earth Prime]], and [[Alexander Luthor Jr.]] from [[Earth-Three]]) were transported into a ghost-like "paradise dimension" tangential to the new universe.

Following the end of the known Multiverse, more alternate realities were discovered. Even though Earth-Three was destroyed in the [[Anti-Monitor]]'s anti-matter wave attacks, a new [[Crime Syndicate]] (called the "Crime Syndicate of Amerika") developed in the antimatter universe of [[Qward]], which was very different in background and power base from the pre-''Crisis'' Earth-Three group, though same in the number of members. After the [[The Kingdom (comics)|Kingdom event]], [[Hypertime]] and divergent realities were revealed, but never supposed to be accessed, as stated in the [[Zero Hour (comics)|Zero Hour]] event. They were later revealed when a directly-parallel Flash ([[Wally West#Walter West|Walter West]] aka the "Dark Flash") entered the mainstream DC Universe and threatened to destroy it. These alternate realities are usually addressed as "Elsewhere" and "Elseworld" stories.
