"And where is that exactly?"
"Nowhere now. My world was destroyed. But somehow, I managed to survive." - —John Henry Irons to Superman of Earth-TUD25[src]
Earth-TUD22 was one of the many universes in the original multiverse before its destruction, first by Superman, and then the anti-matter wave during the Anti-Monitor Crisis. It was parallel to a few others including Earth-Prime, Earth-TUD25 and the Inverse World.
Overview[]

An overview of the USA on this Earth (Earth-TUD22).
This unidentified universe was the home universe of John Henry Irons and his family.[1] This universe also had its own version of some companies including the Daily Planet,[2] AmerTek, and Luthor Corp - each located in Metropolis; United States, and some schools including Yale University and Metropolis High School.
History[]
- "The Battle of Metropolis. Seven minutes that changed everything. A controlled burn. Destroying a major American city only provoked global resistance. The Kryptonians could have used their might to scorch the Earth, but their desire for the planet kept them in check. Coast City was the next to fall. Destroyed with a nuke the Resistance intended for the Kryptonians."
- —Superman[src]
At some point, this universe's Kal-El crash landed on this Earth, at the Kent Farm in Smallville. After intervention, when he broke out of a U.S. government facility, he found the spaceship which brought him to Earth, and along with it, a sunstone crystal. Kal escaped to the Amazon Rainforest and established his Fortress of Solitude down in the country of Brazil; South America, using that sunstone crystal.[3]
At the fortress, he was trained by the A.I. of his late father, Jor-El. He later became a vigilante known as Superman, who once even considered himself the 'Savior'; before accepting Frederich Nietzsche's concepts of the Übermensch used to rebrand his superhero identity.[3]
and began his missions as Superman to save the people of Earth, particularly in saving humanity from disasters (such as an ocean wave about to sink a ship), and attacking regimes of countries hostile to America, as well as their armies and drones; where also in Asia, he even saved a collapsing bridge in Guizhou; China - though while winning the U.S. civilian populations' support, various national governments worldwide feared Superman's power if left unchecked.[3]
However, after meeting his brother Tal-Rho, Kal-El went rogue and began killing innocents, along with a number of others, destroying several American cities such as Coast City and Metropolis,[4] hence killing their populations; including Lois Lane of the Daily Planet, which made her husband John Henry Irons want to get revenge.[2]
Superman, now turned to the side of evil, came across a U.S. military squad led by John Henry Irons, who became the only survivor of the squad after Kal killed the entire army with his Heat vision. Kal-El later wreaked havoc across the planet, with John fighting against him to prevent him from causing any more damage.[5] However, most other efforts failed as the U.S. military squads sent to engage this Superman were killed by his heat vision; presumably this Earth's Sam Lane was one of them. The U.S., the country's armies, and eventually the entire planet, was eventually destroyed by Superman,[6] who followed Irons into space, but
Anti-Monitor Crisis[]
On December 10, 2019,[7] this universe was destroyed by a wave of antimatter during the Anti-Monitor Crisis. John was able to make it to Earth-TUD25 through a portal, with his daughter Natalie following suit six months later.[8] As the antimatter wave began to destroy the universe of Earth-TUD22,
Taking Refuge on Earth-TUD25[]
John traveled in his spaceship through an antimatter wormhole and landed on Earth-TUD25, vowing to kill that universe's Superman, believing he would do the same to this Earth's population like his evil counterpart had done in his universe.[9] Unknowingly to him, his daughter Natalie also followed in her own spacecraft, after escaping the Solar System when the Milky Way galaxy was destroyed by the antimatter wave.[10]

Trivia[]
- In "Through the Valley of Death", John Henry Irons' arrival on Earth-TUD25 during the ongoing Anti-Monitor Crisis strongly implies the timeline shift between the original multiverse's destruction and the creation of the new multiverse, from the perspective of most of the former's refugees, was instantaneous.
- In this episode, For Natalie Lane Irons, her time spent in the empty space between the two multiverses is said to have lasted "six months", according to her A.I. Hedy. However, over a year had passed since the Anti-Monitor Crisis by the time she arrived on Earth-TUD25 from the void. Because of the temporal irregularities for being outside of either multiverses' time-stream, Hedy's claim of Natalie being trapped for "six months" in the void is most likely inaccurate.
- The antimatter wave that destroyed the Milky Way galaxy and headed towards Earth (Earth-TUD22), would need to travel trillions of times faster than light - to cover even half the distance across its 100,000 light-year diameter in a few seconds, nearing the Sun at the Solar System.
- Out in space, the wave appears to sweep across the cosmos much more slowly or at subsonic speeds, where the two survivors of the Irons family could actually see the antimatter wave destroy the universe of Earth-TUD22 while Superman was chasing their spacecrafts:
- before the antimatter portal opened and John Henry Irons was sent to Earth-TUD25, while Natalie Lane Irons was stuck in an empty void for months and Superman was sent to Earth-Prime by Magog.
- The size of the anti-matter wormhole itself is inconsistent between the episodes "Through the Valley of Death" and "Into Oblivion"; the former episode features a portal that is 'only' the size of the cockpit of John Henry Irons' ship, where the spacecraft travelled through the tunnel and ended up atop a mountain on another Earth (Earth-TUD25), but the latter episode uses a wormhole that is more than enough to fit Natalie Lane Irons' ship; although the anti-matter wave itself consumed both the portal and the remaining universe of Earth-TUD22, leaving Natalie Lane Irons stranded in an empty void for months/as she floats in nothingness.
- also note that after escaping the United States (Earth-TUD22), the whole Earth (Earth-TUD22) is approached by the anti-matter wave, but a few moments ago, it was barely near the Solar System; though it had previously destroyed half of the Milky Way galaxy's arms, immediately preceding/before that frame.
Behind the scenes[]
- This Earth can be inspired by Earth 3 or Injustice, universes where Kal-El became a dictator and started killing innocents.
- Much like the earths in the original multiverse (or original version of it), this earth was the home to some of the characters (including doppelgangers) who appeared on the TV Series (Superman & Lois) that is based on a DC Comics property who travelled to another earth in the multiverse like other characters did (mainly on the TV Series The Flash).
- It is unknown but possible that a new verison of this earth was made or a new universe was made in it's place instead and is now home to a new populace of characters; it's actual designation remains unknown in any case.
- This means that this Earth was one of the most imporant in the original multiverse along with Earth-1 (which was the main setting of where the majority of the Arrowverse Franchise took place pre-crisis) along with a list others including Earths-38, TUD5, X, 90, 66, 89, 9, 12, 96, 76, N52, 97, 203, 167, Earth-F, Earth-D and TUD13 (which had a identical universe made in it's place and whose designation has changed in the new multiverse) as well as Earth-666.
