The Omniverse a term referring to the total sum of multiple universes, including those considered part of the vast Multiverse normally accessible in the world of Champions.

Nature of the Omniverse

According to some that speculate in the nature of multiple universes, the whole of the Omniverse is splintered into several clusters. These clusters can contain any number of universes, or even just one universe. Some clusters can be accessible, such as those in the Multiverse that we know, while other clusters are too distant to be accessed.

Some universal clusters are also considered highly protected, which means there are some universes that are considered "off-limits", even if access were possible.

Lore of the Omniverse

There are several myths surrounding the creation of the Omniverse and its various Multiverses. None can be proven, however, and are often dismissed as stories at best.

The Eternal Paradox

One theory of the Omniverse involves differences in opportunities. It states that in the beginning there was but one universe (the Omniverse), and that for each opportunity, a separate universe was created where the opposite effect occurred. If there is a universe where cosmic rotation was clockwise, then there is another universe where the standard rotation is counter-clockwise. For every system that produced planets, there is another where that same system would produce gas giants or fail to produce any planets.

The idea of the eternal paradox expands even further when it involves conscious decisions. For every universe where a healthy male child is born, another universe is created where that child is not born, or is born defective, or born female. If that child grows up to be a doctor in one universe, then in another universe, that same child would become a lawyer, or a politician, or a criminal.

The flaw with the idea of the Eternal Paradox is that if a separate universe is created for each choice or opportunity, then it would result in a completely incalculable number of alternate realities as the universes expand and develop to include different opportunities and choices.

The Repeating Universe

One radical theory of the Omniverse is that it is actually a linear string of universes coming into being, expanding, then collapsing into a point and becoming the material needed to become a whole new universe. Therefore, accessing each universe is just a matter of traveling far enough in time to go beyond its creation. Supporters of this theory say that this explains the sensation of deja vu, since the feeling is the realization of a larger history repeating itself.

This theory is quickly rejected, though, by those that have come from other multiverse relms and the vast differences that are seen in certain realities.

Fractured Mirror Theories

There are actually two theories that fall under the category of "fractured mirror". The first is that the Omniverse was created, and then at some point during the first few moments of creation, the Omniverse "fractured" like a broken mirror into various multiverses. This somewhat simplistic explination allows for a spontaneous creation of multiple universes but does not account for the cause of the fragmentation.

A second and more creative "fractured mirror" theory suggests that there previously was one universe, dominated over by the most powerful of beings. These beings, in an attempt to fix what they deemed to be a "flaw" in the one universe, traveled back in time to the moment prior to the Big Bang. Once there, they could not come to an agreement as to how to fix the perceived "flaw", and thus when the moment of creation occurred, the universe was created fractured, with each "fragment" based off the ideas of each of the "creators". While considered a more plausible explanation for the similarities within various multiverse clusters, the idea itself of a moment before the creation of the universe, and thus before time, defies known theories about time and space. Plus, this theory delves toward pantheism, with the idea of each universe having their own unique "creator".
