"I think you're remembering that from another time. Another Earth, perhaps."
Lex Luthor[src]

Earth-38[1] was one of the many universes in the multiverse. It was the home universe of Superman and Supergirl. Extraterrestrial life was common knowledge on this earth for over a decade as various alien species/races made their way to this planet and lived on it. During the Anti-Monitor Crisis, the entire universe was engulfed in a wave of antimatter, with 3 billion of Earth's citizens surviving due to an evacuation event to Earth-1, making them refugees. Unfortunately, the antimatter wave would later reach Earth-1 as well, killing all of the surviving and original inhabitants of the planet except Supergirl, J'onn J'onzz, and Lex Luthor.

After Oliver Queen died while battling the Anti-Monitor and reformed the universe, Earth-Prime was formed, which contains most elements of Earth-1, Earth-38, and Earth-TUD5. As such, while this Earth may be physically gone, its people live on as part of Earth-Prime.

History[]

The Secret terrorist organization known as Leviathan was formed by the former leaders of Jarhanpur, not long after their arrival on Earth millions of years ago, brought about the extinction of the dinosaurs and the rise of humanity after their ship crashed on this earth. For about 2 million years, one of the leaders, Rama Khan, was in charge of protecting the Earth (Earth-38) from humanity's self-destruction.

He and Leviathan have monitored the Earth and kept humanity at bay/to guide them through multiple extinction level events, like Noah's Flood, the destruction of Pompeii, Antioch, the Yellow River flood in China (Earth-38), and the Bhola Cyclone in India (Earth-38).

During this time Leviathan was recorded as myth over time. The Medallion of Acrata (Earth-38) was claimed as a legend, lost in history. By the modern times, they have become a powerful hidden terrorist organization and who's influence reach beyond even Obsidian North (Earth-38) and L-Corp.

Alien life was common knowledge for over a decade on the Earth of this universe - in particular, the Kryptonian heroes Superman and Supergirl.[2] Barry Allen of Earth-1 accidentally traveled to National City, California on the Earth of this universe through a breach while testing out his tachyon device; after spending a little time there, he was able to return home with Supergirl's aid (only a few seconds passed for Earth-1.[3][4]

A few months later, Barry and Cisco traveled to the Earth of this universe in National City; California, to enlist Supergirl's help[5] in fighting off the Dominators' invasion of Earth-1.[1]

When Vibe and Gypsy had a duel over the life of H.R. Wells, they crossed the dimensions such as Earth-1 and Earth-2, and landed on this Earth's National City, in the office of James Olsen. They were seen by Eve Teschmacher fighting before vanishing into another breach.[6]

Recently, the atmosphere of this Earth (Earth-38) had been seeded with a trace amount of lead, making the planet uninhabitable to Daxamites and stopping their invasion.[7] Though by the 2400's of a now-erased future, a cure was invented by L-Corp, allowing said species to stay on Earth without any problems.[8]

In 2019, a wave of antimatter sent by the Anti-Monitor destroyed Argo City, and then this Earth; however, with the help of Lena Luthor and heroes of Earth-1, the heroes of Earth-38 manage to evacuate 3 billion inhabitants to Earth-1 through the transmatter portal. The Monitor predicted that one third of all survivors were saved by Oliver Queen, sacrificing himself to protect the quantum tower protecting this Earth (Earth-38) from destruction before the quantum tower, the National City (Earth-38) and Oliver Queen himself fell,[9] however, the refugees and Earth-1's population were initially killed when the last Earth (Earth-1) was swallowed by anti-matter.[10] A month later, with the help of Paragons and the Spectre, the Earths-38, 1, and TUD5 were merged into Earth-Prime.[11]

"Of course I know J'onn! Wait, go back...Supergirl has her
own Earth?"
"Not anymore.

Sara Lance, Ray Palmer, and J'onn J'onzz[src]

The Superfriends retain their knowledge of this Earth (Earth-38) and use its history as a reference point in many of their adventures,[12] sometimes noting the changes between the past and the present.[13][14]
