Revision as of 20:40, 14 November 2019
Crisis on Earth-X is the name of the fourth annual shared multiverse crossover event between Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash and DC's Legends of Tomorrow. The crossover aired over two nights from November 27 to November 28, 2017. This crossover serves as a set-up for the animated series Freedom Fighters: The Ray
Synopsis
Barry and Iris's wedding brings the gang together, but things go awry when villains from Earth-X attack the ceremony. All of the superheroes band together with help from their super friends like Citizen Cold, The Ray, Felicity Smoak, Iris West and Alex Danvers to take on their most formidable villains yet. Earth's mightiest heroes – Green Arrow, Supergirl, The Flash and White Canary – lead their teams into battle to save the world.[1]
Plot
A Nazi regime rules the parallel world of Earth-X, where an archer known as Dark Arrow is the Führer. He seizes a temporal gateway from the Freedom Fighters, which enables traveling to other universes. On Earth-1, Barry Allen and Iris West's friends, including Kara Danvers and Alex Danvers from Earth-38, come to Central City for Barry and Iris's wedding. Harry Wells, Cisco Ramon, and Caitlin Snow develop a serum to separate the Firestorm Matrix from Martin Stein and Jefferson Jackson. However, Jefferson is reluctant to give up being Firestorm. Oliver Queen re-proposes to Felicity Smoak, but she is hesitant about marrying him. The wedding ceremony is interrupted by invaders from Earth-X led by Dark Arrow, Overgirl, and Prometheus. After Kara injures Overgirl, and Alex and Sara Lance capture Prometheus, the Nazis retreat. Dark Arrow and Overgirl, who are Oliver and Kara's Doppelgängers respectively, discuss their next step with Eobard Thawne, Barry's speedster nemesis who was previously presumed dead.
In S.T.A.R. Labs, Prometheus reveals himself as Tommy Merlyn's Earth-X doppelgänger, then takes a suicide pill out of loyalty to the Nazi regime after taunting Oliver. Harry reveals that through his exploration of the Multiverse, he discovered that Earth-X is a dystopian world where World War II was not won by the Allied Forces. Dark Arrow, Overgirl, and Thawne steal an experimental sub-light generator, the Prism, from a research company. Oliver's team, along with Harry, Caitlin, Cisco, and Mick Rory, are in captivity at S.T.A.R. Labs after the Nazi forces occupy it. Oliver, Barry, Sara, Martin, Jefferson, and Alex are abducted to a concentration camp on Earth-X, while Kara is moved to S.T.A.R. Labs. Overgirl is dying from disproportionate insolation in her heart and Dark Arrow plans to use the Prism, powered by the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator, to create artificial red sunlight that can weaken both Karas' invulnerability, allowing Thawne to conduct a heart transplant from Kara to Overgirl.
In the concentration camp, the heroes are rescued from execution at the hands of SS-Sturmbannführer by Ray Terrill and Leo Snart. Thawne prepares to operate on both Overgirl and Kara, while Iris and Felicity work to rescue their friends at S.T.A.R. Labs. General Winn Schott, the commander of the Freedom Fighters, is determined to strand Dark Arrow and Overgirl on Earth-1 by destroying their temporal gateway. While posing as Dark Arrow, Oliver discovers the Nazis' doomsday device, a Timeship called Wellenreiter, a militarized equivalent of the Legends' Waverider. Oliver allows the timeship to enter Earth-1 to avoid jeopardizing his cover, but he is ultimately exposed when he refuses to kill Felicity Smoak's Earth-X doppelgänger, a concentration camp prisoner. The heroes struggle against both the Freedom Fighters' Red Tornado, deployed by Schott as a failsafe, and the Nazi forces, and the gateway's portal is opened at the cost of Martin being mortally wounded.
The heroes return to Earth-1, and Iris, Felicity, Kara, and the others are rescued by the returned heroes and the Waverider crew. Jefferson is also affected by Martin's injury, so Martin uses the serum to separate the Firestorm matrix and dies from his wounds. Jefferson tells Martin's family of his fate; they, along with the Legends and Barry's team are devastated by Martin's death. His death spurs the heroes to declare war on Earth-X's Nazi forces. When the Nazis attack Central City, the heroes counter their assault. Harry, who pilots the Waverider, destroys the Wellenreiter after the heroes disable its shield. Barry spares Thawne, who vows to return. During the fight with Kara, Overgirl's solar radiation goes nuclear and Kara carries her into space, where Overgirl explodes. Oliver kills Dark Arrow soon after. After Martin's funeral, Kara and Alex return to Earth-38, Ray returns to Earth-X, and Leo decides to remain with the Legends. John Diggle, an ordained minister, officiates Barry and Oliver's weddings with Iris and Felicity, respectively.

Trivia
- Earth-X is a world where Germany won World War II and Green Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl are evil. It was first referenced in the Supergirl episode "Worlds Finest" by Barry as a hypothetical example of how various Earths in the Multiverse may differ from one another while explaining the concept of the Multiverse to Kara, James, and Winn.
- Ray Terrill/The Ray made his live-action debut in this crossover. His own animated series: Freedom Fighters: The Ray premiered on CW Seed on December 8, 2017.
- Unlike previous crossovers, Crisis on Earth-X received its own special opening title card and did not have "previously on" at the start of each part.
- The only series regulars who did not appear in the crossover were:
- Supergirl stated that there are 52 Earths in the Multiverse. Harry revealed that there are actually 53 Earths, but Earth-X is so horrible that no one goes there and therefore it does not have a formal designation. However, it is not indicated how or when Kara and Harry came to possess this information.
- This is contradictory to Martin Stein's statement in "Flash of Two Worlds" and Harry's statement in "The Race of His Life" that there are "infinite" Earths and Red Tornado's statement in "Episode Four" of Freedom Fighters: The Ray that there are "thousands" of Earths. Although, it's possible that they simply meant that there are 53 known Earths in the Multiverse.
- Ralph Dibny, John Diggle, Curtis Holt, Rene Ramirez, Dinah Drake, Ray Palmer, Nate Heywood, Amaya Jiwe, and Zari Tomaz were the only heroes not in attendance at Barry and Iris's wedding. That fact was referenced by Ray Palmer in "Crisis on Earth-X, Part 4".
- There are two similarities between this crossover and the Invasion! crossover:
- The Dominators wanted Barry Allen to surrender himself, while the Earth-X Nazis wanted Kara Danvers to surrender herself.
- Both the Dominators and the Earth-X Nazis invaded Central City on Earth-1.
- This was the first crossover:
- To not reference Oliver shooting Barry which happened in the first crossover, Flash vs. Arrow.
- To feature Iris West and Harry Wells in all episodes. Previously, they had only appeared in The Flash episode of the crossovers.
- Where David Ramsey (John Diggle) didn't appear in every episode as he only appeared in "Crisis on Earth-X, Part 4" (unless "Medusa" is counted as part of Invasion!}}).
- Where Carlos Valdes (Cisco Ramon) didn't appear in every episode.
- To feature Alex Danvers.
- So far, this was the only crossover where The Flash didn't serve as the first part of the event (unless "Medusa" is counted as part of Invasion!).
- This crossover introduced Nora West-Allen, Barry and Iris's daughter. However, since she is from the future, Nora did not reveal her identity to her parents and their family and friends until "We Are The Flash" several months later.
