Overview
The Multiverse is a term used by Portal Corporation and various other organizations to refer to the infinite possibilities of alternate universes.
Main Universes/Dimensions
- Primal Earth: Home of the Freedom Phalanx and Arachnos, along with all player characters. Most of the game takes place here. It is distinct from the real world in many ways, mostly involving the existence of super powers.
- Praetorian Earth: Home of the Praetorians. All of Earth Prime's heroes are villains in this reality, similar to a standard "Mirror Universe". Occasionally mentioned as a possibility for future Issues. This world may be one of the closest to ours, as it has its own version of Superadine (called Fixadine), and, just like ours, it has suffered a (failed) Rikti invasion as well. A heroic version of the Carnival of Shadows, called the Carnival of Light, is known to exist in this world. Fans have pointed out that Arachnos must be a heroic force in this universe.
- Rikti Earth: Home of the Rikti. Rikti Earth destroyed magic and gods early in its history and was visited by an unknown alien power around the time of 2000 B.C. The Rikti are genetically similar to humans but were altered by the aliens that visited them into having a "Hive Mind".
- The Shadow Shard: Mysterious realm that defies normal rules of reality and is home to Rularuu the Ravager after the heroes of Earth Prime banished him there, ending his devouring of universes. Humans do live here, but most have been evacuated to Earth Prime.
