"She put something in my tea and had me cross over to this other world where I saw another version of myself. It was a really intense trip, and trust me, I've had a few. My junior year was pretty wild—jam bands, mushrooms, Birkenstock Kevin—[...] But this was something else entirely. It was everything your sister said—a different dimension, a parallel universe—whatever you wanna call it, it's real."
—Chrissy Beppo to Lois Lane[src]

The Inverse World,[1][2][3] also known as the Bizarro World,[2][4] is a "bizarre" alternate dimension to Earth-TUD25. It differs from that universe in a number of ways, such as having a red square sun,[5] and its Earth is a rounded cube instead of spherical, as is its moon.[2][6]

Overview[]

Antarctica (Inverse World)

The continent of Antarctica (Inverse World).

This dimension was the home universe of Kal-El and his family. This dimension has its own version of some American businesses; including Warner Bros. Studios, the U.S. Postal Service, and the Daily Planet, which is now titled The Planet Weekly.[7] Its Smallville Gazette is named Deadline Smallville Daily.[2]

History[]

Following the Big Bang, Earth-TUD25's reality split under unknown circumstances creating an inverse version of the universe adjacent to the original.[5]

Kal-El was a superhero in this world, with his brother, Tal-Rho being famous as well. At some point Kal married Lois Lane. Around 2005, Lois became pregnant and the couple moved from Metropolis to Inverse World. Around 9 months later, in 2006, Lois gave birth to their twin sons, Jonathan and Jordan-El. At some after, when Jonathan and Jordan were still babies, Tal got married to Lana. [6] At some point, President Seinfeld called for investigation of the Star City riots,[7] likely caused by Ally Allston.[6]

Eventually, Ally Allston used her pendant to become the dictator of this world, with Lana-Rho, Jonathan-El, Tal-Rho, and Mitch Anderson as her followers. After she took over, Kal-El was no longer well regarded by the .[6]

A few months later, Kal-El defeated Ally's followers and stole her pendant. Then he went to Earth-TUD25 to destroy her pendant before both versions could merge together, but he got stuck in the Shuster Mines. He was later released but was confronted by his Earth-TUD25 counterpart[5] and was later killed by Lieutenant General Mitch Anderson, who gave the pendant to Earth-TUD25's Ally.[8]

Later, Ally, Anderson, and her followers tried to enter the Inverse World through a portal, but Ally was stopped by Superman and trapped in the DOD, and Anderson managed to enter.[1] Lucy Lane used her father Sam's DOD keycard to break Ally out of her cell. Ally then used Kal-El's armor to safely travel to the Inverse World. Superman then followed her through the portal. In the Inverse World, Anderson and Superman joined Kal-El's family against Ally, and she managed to merge with her counterpart. Later, Jon-El went to Earth-TUD25 to merge with his Earth-TUD25 counterpart.[9][6]

Jon was able to travel to Earth-TUD25 through the portal connecting the two worlds and went to the Kent Farm, but he was later defeated by Jordan Kent and was arrested.[6][10]

With her new powers, Ally began to merge the worlds.[11] As Ally merged them, people and objects from both worlds began to pass through the portals and merge (flicker/disappear at random). John Henry Irons[12] and Tal-Rho tried to stop Ally, but she defeated Irons and later began to absorb powers from Tal, but Jordan Kent appeared and stopped her. When John Irons and Natalie Lane Irons tried to destroy the portals, Ally tried to kill them, but they were saved by Superman. They fought, and Ally tried to absorb his powers, but this overwhelmed her and caused her to split. Superman later managed to separate the worlds by flying around them. The Allys were arrested by the Department of Defense, where they were held in the same cell.[13]

Trivia[]

  • The Inverse World's Earth is cube-shaped like its comic counterpart, Htrae. Other objects that are spherical on Earth-TUD25, including pool balls, also take on a cube shape in the Inverse World.[6]
  • In the Inverse World, everything down to the locations, signs, television broadcasts and even the sentences spoken by humans from Earth-TUD25 are all backwards (mirrored, even punctuated inversely). This also happens with those who visit the Inverse World from Earth-TUD25 and vice versa, as seen with Superman upon reaching the Inverse World.[6]
  • The Inverse World's red sun appears to work slightly different from Earth-TUD25's red sun lights/lamps, as Superman is still weakened by it, but does not immediately lose his powers like he has in other situations. This is also the same case with their Kryptonite, as he remained unaffected by the stockpile in the inverse Shuster Mines.

Behind the scenes[]

  • In the DC comics, the Bizarro World, also known as Htrae, is a backwards world created by the deformed clone of Superman known as Bizarro, commonly depicted as a cube, and populated by further clones of Bizarro and Lois Lane, as well as Bizarro versions of Superman's friends and rogues gallery. In the New 52, this universe is known as Earth 29. However, in the comics, all of Bizarro World's inhabitants share Bizarro Superman's chalky white skin, backwards way of thinking and low intellect, and unlike the Inverse World, which is a fully-realized world in it's own right, is simply a crude recreation of Earth itself.
