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 was composed of elements from various previous Earths, such as Earth-1, Earth-2, Earth-3, Earth-38, and Earth-TUD5 in an amalgamation that forms this new reality. A team was later assembled as this Earth's guardians.
History
Earth-Prime heroes.
The Spectre created a new multiverse, with this universe being part of it after all of the original multiverse was erased from existence.[1]
Due to the vibration 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]
The history of Earth-1, Earth-38, and Earth-TUD5 seem to have all still happened with minuscule differences.[2]
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 weren't restored, or The Spectre simply made errors during the creation of the new multiverse. However, in the case of Laurel Lance (Earth-2), he could've done this on purpose.
- The lack of Oliver's body on Earth-Prime is an anomaly. Despite the fact he did exist there; no corpse was found after the multiverse reboot.
- 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.
- Encores seem to remember Earth-1, the previous version of Earth-Prime, due to being in Hell at the time of Crisis.
Behind the scenes
- 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.
- Real-life similarities (all of which has been mentioned and seen) that have been confirmed to exist in this universe include people such as Marie Antoinette, John Carpenter, Chris Evans, John Hughes, Nazis, Grigori Rasputin, Ryan Reynolds, the Romanov family, Benjamin Siegel, the band Toto (who made the song "Africa"), Marv Wolfman, as well as mass media such as the magazine "The Advocate", the film Frost/Nixon, and the Mario Kart video game series.
