>>97250904>>97246105Did Kirby ever specify the nature of the New Gods before Morrison established that they live in their own godly sphere, and that there is only one version of each New Gods for the entire Multiverse?
I dunno, making them multiversial feels kinda odd to me. Like, when Darkseid is fighting Superman, he's really only fighting ONE of the many Supermans he sometimes has to fight?
My headcanon has always been that Apokalips/New Genesis are in Earth-0 (or Earth-One or whatever the mainstream Earth at the time is), but one cannot travel from the region of space that the New Gods live in to, say, Earth, through the use of a spaceship, because some irregularities in the expansion of space make it so that region is accelerating from the rest of the universe far too quickly, effectively making it its own "bubble" of space that's torn apart from the rest of the universe. But it's still Earth-0, because it formed as part of that universe, and shares it's physical constants.
This space-time separation is why one needs a Boom Tube, and why a Green Lantern couldn't just fly to New Genesis (they can't travel faster than that region of space is moving away from them).
Also part of my headcanon: even though the New Gods are Earth-0, there are still only one of each of them, simply because no other universe has analogues to them. They are unique to this universe. So, no other Darkseids are running around (although this gets complicated if other media, like cartoons and video games, are part of the multiverse, in which case, you kind of do have to admit alternate versions of them, unless you think that the Bekka who is Wonder Woman in the Gods and Monsters universe is the same one whose Orion's wife in every other universe, and the Darkseid who will be showing up in the DCEU is the same one from the comics, and the same one who merged with Brainiac in the DCAU...)
