001: Multiverse Theory - Video
Hey pals, Doreen here. I noticed a little confusion about some parts of the situation? Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of confusion to go around, but in this case, I think at least a few of us know what's going on? We just thought everyone else had figured it out by this point.
Sorry about that, but I'm going to try to make up for it.
[She picks up one of the paper plates.]
Pretend this is the world we're on.
[She puts the plate on the table, moving the camera around so it's facing it.]
Now, if anything we've told about this place is true, this is probably Earth.
Robbie and I? We're from Earth. [Another plate on the table.]
Sticky Ben? Yep, Earth. [Third plate on the table.]
Phosphophyllite, Armstrong, Kevin, Gadget? Earth, Earth, Earth, Earth. And another bunch of Earths for most of the rest of us, too. <[Plates just go all over the table.]
I know some of you are from other worlds. They're important, they're where you live, after all, but they're not super-relevant to my point right now. You might want to pay attention just in case, though.
Now, you're thinking, dang, Doreen, that's a lot of people from Earth. You might be wondering why I used so many plates if we're all from the same place.
The thing is while we might all be from Earth, we're not all from the same Earth. Hence all the plates.
See, everything, Earth, the sun, the stars, and other planets? They occupy a thing called the universe. But? There's more than one universe. Universes where life didn't develop, where it developed differently, where the laws of physics have ceased to make any sort of sense, where none of us have powers, where all of us have powers, where our moralities have been entirely flipped, where you decided not to have that donut last week...etcetera.
And in each of them, Earth, or whatever planet you're from, does or doesn't exist. This is what we call a multiverse. And in some cases, it's possible to visit or even be stuck in one of these alternate universes. Which is pretty much what happened here.
I hoped that cleared some things up. If it didn't, I'll try to answer any questions you have. Can't promise I'll be able to answer all of them, though. I'm not an expert in multiverse theory or anything, this is basically just stuff you pick up when you become a superhero.

So is Colu a colander or a pasta bowl, in the unifying multiverse tableware theory? For that matter, where do pocket dimensions fit in?

Are you calling me a hot pocket? I don’t know if I’m flattered or insulted.

And I'm gonna be honest: that would've been a way better codename than Speedball.

I concur. More whimsy, less accidental 21st century drug connotations - whether they were made by the press or not.
[He tilts his head.]
Then again, the USA in the 21st century is fairly litigious so offending a corporation might be unwise. [sarcasm] Who knows how possessive such a prestigious, dot-themed ice cream maker might be over their trademark.
[Interestingly, his 21st century references trend closer to the commercial than the cultural. His friends had been fascinated with the different products that could be found and different stores that existed. Talk about that happened when they were out searching for things they needed - often on mall trips where Cos desperately herded cats, or around the dinner table. His exposure to media had been spottier.]
[Which is why he knows what Doritos cool ranch is - and what it takes like (horrible) but has no idea why Superboy so often called him 'Spock.']
