- "This is our Earth. Let's call it Earth-1. And this second Earth, let's call it Earth-2. This is where Jay claims to be from. And these other Earths, 3, 4, 5, to infinity, all of them, are nearly identical to ours. And they all exist at the same time, giving us endless alternatives to what we have here."
- —Martin Stein[src]
Earth was the third planet orbiting the solar system's yellow sun. The planet served primarily as home to its native species, the human, and came into existence long before the written history of its population.
The planet was sometimes referred to by its residents as Earth-1, in reference to its location in the multiverse.[1]
History[]
Early history[]
In prehistoric times, Earth-1 was populated by dinosaurs.[2]
In Ancient Egypt, during the time of Khufu and Chay-Ara's first death, Earth and Thanagar became aligned, and a meteor shower struck Earth. One such meteor landed in Egypt, giving Hath-Set immortality and Khufu and Chay-Ara the ability to reincarnate.[3]
20th century[]
In the 20th century, some humans began to gain superpowers through various means. They became known as meta-humans, and the threat posed by their abilities attracted the attention of an alien species known as the Dominators. In 1951, the Dominators launched a reconnaissance mission in Redmond, a city in the United States, and waged a battle against the United States Army.[4]
21th century[]
The Dominator aliens would later return in 2016 with the goal of eradicating all meta-humans after they deemed Barry Allen's ability to travel through time a threat to all of reality.[4] However, they were defeated and forced to retreat by the Earth's heroes with help from Supergirl an alien herself from another universe.
The Earth of Earth-1.
A year later the Earth was attacked again this time being Nazis who originated from Earth-X: A world where the Nazis won WWII instead of the Allies. However fortunately this earths heroes received assistance from the resistance of Earth-X and managed to defeat the invasion.
Anti-Monitor Crisis[]
In late 2018, this Earth was tested by the god-like being known as The Monitor who wanted to prepare Earth and it's heroes for a threat that put the entire multiverse at risk. Putting the reality rewriting Book of Destiny in the hands of maddened Arkham Asylum Doctor John Deegan who used the book to rewrite reality in his own twisted image. However he was stopped by The Flash, Green Arrow, Supergirl, and their allies.
After Oliver Queen and his team completed one last mission for Mar Novu on Lian Yu[5] and Barry Allen and his team put an end to Bloodwork's reign of terror in Central City,[6] the skies turned crimson red over the island, city, and possibly the entire planet concurrently, signaling that the Crisis had begun.
On December 10, 2019, Waverider arrived at this Earth after going across a few other. However, both the Earth and the timeship, as well as everyone in the multiverse except for the seven Paragons, was killed in an antimatter wave by the Anti-Monitor,[7] only to be merged a month later, after the Paragons and the Spectre created a new universe.[8]
Erased futures[]
- "In 2175, less than 10 years from when Savage conquers the world, the Earth is attacked by a warlike race of extraterrestrials from the planet Thanagar."
- —Zaman Druce[src]
With Earth under the rule of Vandal Savage, the humans drove out the Thanagarians when the race attacked the planet.[9]
When Vandal Savage did not unite Earth, the Thanagarians destroyed Earth by burning it and its resources to the ground.[9]

- Earth-1 was the last earth in the original multiverse to be destroyed by Antimatter (also on-screen.)

The Earth of Earth-1.
