The JLA's Earth was known as Earth-1 (The Silver Age), and The JSA's Earth was known as Earth-2 (Golden Age). It was then that the first pieces of the DC Multiverse were put together. Fans seemed to love this concept of parallel DC Universes. Soon there were many different parallel universes in DC Comics, not just Earth-1 & Earth-2. Known universes of the time include:
After years of the DC Multiverse, DC Editors felt there were too many alternate universes and characters to keep up with and that it was getting confusing for fans. As a result, the legendary "Crisis on Infinite Earths" by George Perez and Marv Wolfman was released. The Anti-Monitor was a being of immense power that was sweeping through the Multiverse and destroying it one universe at a time. A being known as the Monitor combated this evil by recruiting heroes across the Multiverse to fight him. In the end Anti-Monitor was defeated by the heroes but at a huge cost: it essentially wiped out the entire DC Multiverse and in the end left only one, singular established DC Universe and continuity. All the other universe died. This new universe was an amalgamation of the universes that came before. Many characters died, never to return, while others were forever altered. For over 20 years, the DC Universe remained like this.
