There’s a lot of chatter these days about the Multi-verse. You know, parallel Earths in parallel universes. Different versions of Earth. It’s been a mainstream topic in the world of physics — and in science fiction forever.
And it shows up a lot in movies and TV shows. Spider-Man, Into the
Spider-verse.
Arrow, Flash and Super Girl hop back and forth between multiple Earths all the time.
In one episode of the Flash, one of the main characters brought different versions of himself from different Earths to help him solve the ‘problem of the week’. I thought that was cool.
The Council of Wells
So, I gathered three other versions of myself from three different Earths to talk about what’s going on these days. How did I do this?
Who cares?
Never mind.
Buy the premise, buy the blog.
TOM of EARTH 616: (me) I’d like to welcome all of you to the first Council of the Toms.
TOM of EARTH 17: (Panicked) How did I get here? Where am I?
TOM of EARTH 22: (Laid back) I think we’re on Earth 616.
TOM of EARTH 42: Who came up with these Earth numbers anyway? Earth 616? Earth 22? Who makes these decisions?
TOM of EARTH 616: Depends on whether you’re DC or Marvel. Who cares? Just roll with it. You’re ruining the bit.
So, we’re here today to talk about Donald Trump.
TOM of EARTH 17: AHHH! Never say that name!
TOM of EARTH 22: Why are we talking about Donald Trump?
TOM of EARTH 42: Who’s Donald Trump?
TOM of EARTH 616: Well, on my Earth he has been the President of the United States for the last two years. Things are not going well, and I wanted to get your input — and your views — on what to do about it.
TOM of EARTH 17: Two years?? He’s been President for 10 years here!
TOM of EARTH 22: Wait a minute. You mean, the guy who had a bad reality show about 10 years ago? He’s your President? You gotta be shitting me, man!
TOM of EARTH 42: Again, who’s Donald Trump?
TOM of EARTH 616: 10 years? Oh my God. What’s it like there?
TOM of EARTH 17: Pretty much the dystopian nightmare you’d expect. After his first term, he learned he could do anything he wanted. So he did. He made himself President for life.
TOM of EARTH 22: You can do that on your Earth?
TOM of EARTH 17: OF COURSE YOU CAN’T DO THAT ON MY EARTH! He did it anyway!
TOM of EARTH 616: How? Congress did nothing to stop him? The Courts did nothing to stop him?
TOM of EARTH 17: The Congress wouldn’t impeach him and he simply ignored the courts! He said, “Fuck you.” And he got away with it!
TOM of EARTH 22: You’re talking about the guy who put his name on buildings and has really weird hair? Right?
TOM of EARTH 616: Yeah, that’s the one. We can’t believe it either.
TOM of EARTH 17: Well, believe it! I live in a world where the global economy is in the third year of a global depression. Disaster relief for all the super-tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, and cyclones now cost almost one trillion dollars a year. And there’s no way to get rid of this guy!
TOM of EARTH 616: Well, he’s old, won’t he die soon?
TOM of EARTH 17: Maybe, but so what? He passed a law that when he dies, he gets replaced by … Eric.
TOM of EARTH 616: Fuck.
TOM of EARTH 22: Damn. Wow. Sorry man. It sucks to be you.
TOM of EARTH 42: WHO THE FUCK IS DONALD TRUMP?
(End of minutes.)

SERENDIPITY - SEEKING INTELLIGENT LIFE ON EARTH 
Boy, nobody loved comic books more than me when I was a kid.., then I grew up.., slooowly, still maintaining some great fantasies. One day I noticed a stranger in my mirror I didn’t recognize. A friend told me it was ME. “No Freakin’ way! man” ’cause from the inside out everything looked the same. So who was this old geezer in my mirror? Why weren’t girls taking a second look and smiling, at me, anymore.., What the F$%@*&K is going on? I read your post and It finally hit me.., this is the ONLY ‘verse I’m gonna exist in. No spider bites, no landing, in a pod, possessing unusual powers, from a doomed planet (This planet seems pretty doomed on its own). Science is no longer “in”, and, as you’ve pointed out, great waves of “stupidity” are washing over ours. Also, I have a similar question.., Who the Fuck is Donald Trump? If only Earth 42 were real, I’d book the next flight.
