The Ultimate Evil villain that poses a threat to the multiverse. These characters originate from a story where it is confined to the multiverse who pose a threat to not one but multiple universes.
Depending on the work, its size can range from a small cluster of interconnected universes to an infinite array of dimensions, timelines, and planes of existence. These universes may exist independently or follow certain rules that bind them together. A multiverse can contain:
- Alternate Dimensions: These are often portrayed as universes or realms that exist parallel to or intersect with our own. They might not just be separate realities, but different planes of existence that involve radically different forces, beings, or metaphysical rules.
- Alternate Realities: These are variations of the "primary" reality. These variations can be due to different choices, events, or conditions in a timeline, creating divergent realities. They can also involve differences in fundamental laws (e.g., magic in one reality and science in another).
- Alternate Timelines: These are branching continuums created when significant events within a timeline are altered. These timelines can exist within a single universe, where changes in historical events create a fork in the narrative, or they can span across multiple universes, each with a divergent history.
- Alternate Universes: These are entire worlds that may operate under different physical laws, have different characters, or follow distinct evolutionary paths. These universes may contain entirely different versions of known characters, or they may have variations in technology, societal structure, or natural laws.
- Existence: It is referring to the entirety of being, covering everything that has form, substance, or significance. It is the most foundational layer, encompassing the very essence of reality and non-reality.
- Parallel Existential Planes: These are abstract, metaphysical realms that exist beyond the physical universe. They may involve different forms of consciousness, higher-dimensional spaces, or spiritual planes that exist alongside or beyond the physical world.
- Parallel Realms: These are often alternate versions of the physical world, sometimes with completely different rules, creatures, or states of being. They may appear as alternate dimensions or higher planes of existence but are typically accessible through specific means.
- Parallel Worlds: These represent distinct, often self-contained realities that share some fundamental characteristics with our own world but differ in significant ways. These worlds can involve small changes or drastic differences, such as a world where dinosaurs never went extinct or a world where magic is real.
- Space-Time: It is the fabric of reality, where the dimensions of space and time are interwoven and form the structure of all existence. It is through the manipulation of space-time that time travel, parallel worlds, and cosmic phenomena occur.
In some narratives, the multiverse can also be referred to as Omniverse because these realities transcend the limits of individual universes and stretch across an entire omniverse. In this case, the "Omniverse" refers to the highest level of existence, which contains not only multiple universes but also parallel dimensions, planes of existence, and even forms of reality that exist beyond space, time, and physics themselves. The Omniverse encompasses every possible version of reality, some of which may be so abstract or complex that they defy conventional understanding of existence.
Due to the countless and innumerable lives at risk, these characters are often the most heinous to appear.
