Y/N L/N was always a believer in the impossible, but he never suspected he would become the impossible. When a fateful lightning strike gives Y/N the power to move at super fast speeds, he must learn to step up as a hero against similarly affected p...
The team were all sitting down in the lab. They turned to their visitor from Earth-3 in confusion. The older Flash tried to explain everything, first by telling them all what the impending crisis was about.
Jay: In the beginning of time, there was nothing. A single black void of infinitude. Then, from the collision of a single atom, all of creation was born. A wave of untold power swept across the void, filling it with life. The multiverse. Every decision, every action, every possible combination of events in history, multiplied by an infinite release of universes. But, as all creation of matter expanded, one world grew from a different form. A world made entirely of antimatter, serving as the antithesis to all that exists.
Y/N: Antimatter? I thought that was just theoretical, and even then in small doses. But an entire universe made from it?
Jay: It's very real. And just as matter serves as the foundation of all creation, antimatter serves to snuff out all of existence into its own, singular void. For that reason, the antimatter netherverse was cut off from all other Earths, a sort of natural healing process of the multiverse's existence. That was until a breach was opened to it, and one man sent the antimatter world on a collision course with all others.
Caitlin: Who would have done such a thing?
Jay: His name is Mar Novu. He calls himself the Monitor. A being of immense power unlike anything seen before. He stepped foot into the netherverse. From there, antimatter was able to generate a doppelganger of its own, one equal but opposite to the Monitor. Its champion. They say his name is Mobius, although most simply call him the Anti-Monitor.
The team all stood silent, listening intently. They grasped onto every word Jay spoke aloud.
Jay: Under its belief in antimatter, the Anti-Monitor has set forth to destroy all realities, breaking apart the multiverse. He plans on extinguishing all other Earths in existence, wiping out all life, until nothing exists but him and his world. Mar Novu has done what he can to hold him off, but now he searches for champions. People he believes can stop Mobius and save all of creation, together.
Y/N: Is that why you came for me? Am I one of those champions?
Jay paused for a moment before continuing.
Jay: No. You're something different, Y/N L/N. You are part of a much larger plan. One put in place not by the Monitor, but by a higher being. One known as the Specter.
Jay stepped forward and looked at Y/N.
Jay: You are what is known as a Coterminous Cognate Being, Y/N.
Y/N looked at the older Flash in confusion.
Jay: Most other people and their doppelgangers, despite their differences, share similar base qualities. The same name, similar origins, similar lineage. The differences that happen to them are shaped by the lives they live. But you are different. Across the wider multiverse are beings who share the same name and phenotypical makeup as you, but who are vastly different in all other manners. Different birthdates, different parents, different origins, different abilities, different genetics. On most Earths, Barry Allen becomes the Flash. That is a constant. But you are different. There is no definitive set point or path for you. On one Earth you're the Flash, in another you're a detective during the 1930s, and yet another you're an explorer in the eighteenth century. All of these versions have different biological genes, but retain the same name and appearance. Some are more similar to each other than others, but most are vastly different in more ways than any other person and their doppelgangers.
