As the beams of light shoot out, they start to hit targets. Axel excuses himself, thinking the man a lunatic. A young man named Axel Asher witnesses the lightshow and Morty recognizes him, relieved that he's here and asks for help. Main plot: In the Manhattan of the Marvel Universe, Morty's box starts to glow and project out beams of light. (see below)Īct One: There Is a Light That Never Goes Out

They reference the series during their fight later on. Green Lantern and Silver Surfer had met in the prequel series Green Lantern/Silver Surfer: Unholy Alliances #1 also written by DC vs.Both cities are based on New York City but exemplifying different art movements with Gotham (gothic) and Metropolis (modern/futurism). Metropolis faces Gotham in the state of Delaware next to the Delaware River. These islands do not exist in the real world. To put them into geographical context, Gotham is situated in New Jersey on effectively three islands that are joined together to the mainland by several bridges.

They are both fictional American cities in the DC universe. Gotham City (home to Batman) and Metropolis (home to Superman) feature prominently in this series.Axel has no idea he is a “shard” at the advent of the story. Axel considered this the most traumatic thing to happen to him. When he was a child, she accidentally shot him, resulting in him developing a slight limp. Another shard, Axel Asher, has a younger sister.One such shard, Morty, gained self-awareness and is guarding a gateway in an alleyway at the start of the series, trying to contain its energies “with duct tape.” Most of these shards are unaware of their nature. The “shard person” feels an immense sense of wanderlust and lack of purpose. They can even form into living beings or soul shards. They can form into vortexes or inter-dimensional gateways. Technically, these “shards” belong to both universes, being part of both Brothers. The “Big Bang” also resulted in the creation of “shards” of the Brothers.At the onset of the series, the Brothers have still not remembered the other one exists. Untold millennia passed before the Brothers remembered they had even had sentience.

In the “Big Bang” that followed, the brothers were blown apart and their shattering created the Marvel and DC multiverses. Eons ago, they had become aware of each other and, seeing it an affront of their “uniqueness” to have a peer, they engaged in open warfare, resulting in the destruction of all that was. These beings encompassed all of “everything,” considering themselves completely unique in all of existence.
