"Star City. Earth-16. Interesting. It must've been a temporal wormhole because well, the pod is in the year 2046."
"We've been there before. Apparently, we didn't just travel to the future."
"Yeah, we traveled to a parallel Earth in the future. That's great."

—Brainiac 5, Ray Palmer and Sara Lance^[src]

Earth-16 is one of the many universes in the multiverse.

History

In late October 2016, a cocktail waitress named Olivia responded to an interdimensional dating profile sent from Earth-1's Cisco Ramon, in which he claimed to be a millionaire and philanthropist. In order to impress him, she responded by saying that she was a pre-med student, a part-time model, and a volunteer at a local children's hospital. Though Cisco was ready to elope to Earth-16, he eventually came clean to Olivia and told her the truth about who he was, prompting Olivia to do the same.

Earth-16 was depicted on a map shown to Barry Allen of Earth-1 by Jay Garrick of Earth-3.

Behind the scenes

• In the DC Comics, Earth-16 has been used to refer to originally the universe in which the television series Young Justice takes place and, in the New 52, a universe which most crime has been eliminated and superheroes are treated as celebrities. Ironically, the Arrowverse version is instead overrun with crime.
• The name Earth-16 is also referenced to the DC's Legends of Tomorrow episode "Star City 2046". It was taken from either the airdate of February 25, 2016, or from Season 1 and was the 6th episode; hence the name, Earth-16.
  • During pre-production, this universe was referred to as "Earth-L107".
    • Interestingly, the episode was the prime focus of the sixth episode of DC's Legends of Tomorrow's first season, thus "Earth-L106" would be a more appropriate title, given the presumed reference.
