Earth-Prime is one of the many universes in the new multiverse created during the Anti-Monitor Crisis. It, along with the new multiverse, was created by the Spectre and the Paragons after the Anti-Monitor destroyed the previous multiverse, though at the cost of Oliver's life. It is composed of elements from various previous Earths, such as Earth-1, Earth-38, and Earth-TUD5 (among others) in an amalgamation that forms this new reality. The League was later assembled as this Earth's guardians.
History[]
With the aid of the Paragons, The Spectre created a new multiverse, which included this universe, following the destruction of the original multiverse by the Anti-Monitor.[1]
Due to vibrational frequencies being different in this multiverse, this Earth currently has no access to the rest of the new multiverse by normal means, nor do its occupants appear to be aware of the new multiverse's existence.[2] At least until the Bloodwork Crisis occurred; but the multiversal breach was closed by the Spectre/Green Arrow. It was revealed that those other earths were numbered by him after creating Earth-Prime.[3]
The history and certain events occurring on Earth-1, Earth-38, and Earth-TUD5 all seem to have still happened with more or less minuscule differences.[2] A few more earths had elements merged such as Earth-2 and Earth-3.
Also, certain events have happened differently on this Earth. So far though, only the Paragons and a select few are aware of the changes.[2]

Trivia[]
- It is unknown why so many refugees from the original multiverse were allowed to remain on Earth-Prime. They were presumably needed on Earth-Prime, their Earth wasn't seperately restored, or The Spectre simply made errors during the creation of the new universe. However, in the case of Earth-2 Laurel Lance, he could've done this on purpose.
- Luke Fox compared it to putting the Earths in a blender.
- The lack of Oliver's body on Earth-Prime is an anomaly. Despite the fact he did exist there (and altered his own life), no corpse was found after the multiverse reboot.
- His friends mentioned that they were burying a casket full of momentos in place of him.
- Due to an anomaly in the new multiverse, under normal circumstances, Earth-Prime will only allow a single version of one person to exist on it, or "Highlander" rules, in Cisco terms. However, so far it was only shown to apply to individuals from the original multiverse; but only when they get too close to each other, sparking a countdown until they expire unless one dies.
- This applies to entire worlds, as if the Earth of Earth-TUD17 was released from its Brainiac 5's bottle, it would destroy the surface of both it and Earth of the Prime universe.
- However, Brainy and Winn didn't suffer this when next to their counterparts (with Brainy having four), possibly due to time travel acting as a kind of temporary buffer.
- Encores seem to remember Earth-1, the previous version of Earth-Prime, due to being in Hell (a plane of existence unaffected by antimatter) at the time of the Crisis.
Behind the scenes[]
- Interestingly in the original comic Crisis, five earths survive the event and get merged into New Earth.
- However in the crossover version, only three earths were merged together into one (i.e. Earth-1, 38 and TUD-5)
- It seems that due to Earth-1's importance as where the portal to the Nexus is, the histories of the refugees/survivors got mingled together with it during the reboot.
- At the same time, this also hints Earth-96 was originally meant to merge with these Earths as well; until Superman was replaced by Lex Luthor as a Paragon.[27] This Superman's Earth was restored in the new multiverse.[28]
- Also, since the three earths have merged, it appears that some new ones were made in others' place (i.e. the new Earth-2 and 19).
- However, a little of Earth-2 from the original multiverse was restored, as was some of Earth-3, among a few others (which might not be listed all the time.) If these two other Earths count, at least five earths are merged.
- This universe shares the same name as the keystone "real world" in the comics, also designated as Earth-33.
- The name could also be a nod to Prime Earth, which is the mainstream reality after Flashpoint.
