Television Crossover Universe

Earth-988-- Post- Crisis-- Superboy-- An Earth that has a college-age Superboy as its only hero.   Based on the  1988 Superboy live-action television series .   Named in  Crisis On Infinite Earths: Absolute Edition   (Nov. 2005)-- Superboy  (vol. 3) #1 (February 1990) 1988 to 1992--THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERBOY--In this universe, Superboy debuted in college.  This series was influenced by the film series but contradicted it in canon.  This series is notable for being cancelled only to make room for Lois & Clark, as TV execs think there can't be two Superman shows on at the same time, just like Gotham is now being cancelled to allow Batwoman to come into existence.  This series was the first in the Superman mythos to explore the multiverse concept, and had Superboy meet his golden age counterpart.  This series also had a comic book continuation that was actually pretty well written and also explored the multiverse concept...

So when Grant Morrison laid out his New 52 Multiverse, I thought it would be fun to match up the Television Crossover Multiverse with his multiverse as much as I can. For example, the world he placed his Freedom Fighters was Earth-10, so TVCU-10 became the Naziverse. So Earth-42 had "Chibi" versions of DC characters.  For those unfamiliar, that meant sort of "baby-fied versions of the DC Heroes". In Japan, the use of  chibi  versions of established characters to work out themes of self-parody has become a staple of manga and anime. It is generally the norm (where such parodies are used) to end a chapter with a page or two of chibi characters parodying the chapter's main themes. Usage of chibi in this manner often constitutes a form of catharsis for the readers and the writer, similar to the practice of having the actors in a play appear on stage to take a bow at the end of a performance, including characters who were killed off in the body of the play. ...
