Return to Timeline of Earth-1

Go to Timeline of Earth-1 (1990s to the future)

Each of the following alternate timelines shares the same past as the main Earth-1 timeline but diverges at some point. Wherever possible, the point of divergence is noted.

  • Earth-One either avoids the Crisis on Infinite Earths, or its participation leaves fewer deaths, as Supergirl remains alive.
  • October 9: World War III begins, putting the world on the brink of nuclear annihilation. Superman and Lex Luthor team up to save the world, beginning the long process of Luthor's reformation. After this moment, the world experiences an unprecedented wave of peace and scientific advancement in every area that leads to a new futuristic era.
  • Superman reveals his secret identity of Clark Kent to Lois Lane and proposes.
  • July 11: Clark Kent and Lois Lane are married. Jimmy Olsen proposes to Lucy Lane at the ceremony.

Returning to the real universe only a short while after his birth, he takes over for Superman, who retires after protecting the world for 50 years. Note: Only time travel or premature aging can explain how Jorel Kent can become Superman and have a son of his own who will become an adult Superman III only 16 years after Jorel's own birth.
