Overview
This page is part of The Lore Project covering the multiverses found in City of Heroes.
The main universe of City of Heroes is called Primal Earth, or, Earth Prime.
The other universes consist of parallel dimensions or higher/lower planes of existence.
Cosmology
The Multiverse of CoH consists of universes that have several planes of existence within each one that is separated only by a being's perception of their world.
- Physical World
- The plane most of the characters in the game call home.
- Psychic Plane
- The plane psychics can travel in that allows direct access to a person's mind
- Ethereal World
- The plane that the gods reside in.
- Spirit World
- The plane that the souls of the dead inhabit as well as the home of many folk tale creatures and where the Banished Pantheon were banished to.
- Hell
- The plane that demons call home.
Netherworld
There is not a lot of information on the Netherworld and the information we do have is somewhat contradictory. The Netherworld is the source of some powers seeming to indicate that it is a plane of a universe. However, the Netherworld is also referred to seemingly as a way to refer to a chunk of the multiverse wherein lies other universes.
- Shadow Worlds
- There are 17 known Shadow Worlds in the Netherworld.
- Shadow Worlds
Pocket Dimensions
Pocket dimensions are dimensions that are self contained pockets of space-time separated from, but still connected to, a given universe.
- Pocket D
- A night club, ran by DJ Zero, a mutant with the power to create and manipulate the fabric of the universe, that is a no-fire zone for all.
- Pocket D
- Ouroboros
- The base of operations for the Menders, led by Silos (thought to be Nemesis) to prevent The Coming Storm, by way of traveling through time and manipulating it.

Universes
Universes are listed in Greek alphabetic order, according to their designations. Primal Earth and Rikti Earth have been placed on top even though they have no designation because their importance to the lore merits this. Other universes with no designation are at the bottom of the list.
- All page URLs should use the universe's designation where possible and Nicknames where no designation is given.
