Post Flashpoint (New52) exported characters Many new characters debuted as a product of the event and a few of them even made the step to become New 52 characters. Jenny Quantum (allegedly) as Jenny Blitz.Apollo (allegedly), Lieutenant Neil Sinclair aka Subject Zero.Shade the Changing Man in his Vertigo version.Wildstorm & Vertigo characters incorporationĮven though the New 52 reboot incorporated the characters of Wildstorm and Vertigo editorial lines, an advance version of such could be saw in the different titles of the event: Vertigo characters The power of Shazam was shared with the other members of the Shazam family, in a way more similar to the Infinity Man and the Forever People.Oliver Queen makes his fortune building super weapons and artifacts to stop metahumans.He instead reached General grade and became the chief of Project M and later Project Superman. Nathaniel Adam never became Captain Atom.They were lovers but after the assassinations of Hippolyta and Mera, they became bitter enemies. Wonder Woman and Aquaman were the leaders of their nations.

Kal-El himself would spend his life in reclusion and under the care of Sam Lane as a part of Project Superman Kal-El ship's crashed in Metropolis, destroying twelve squares.He instead was Green Lantern meanwhile Hal Jordan still was only a test pilot. His father, Thomas Wayne, pushed by guilt became Batman while his mother falls into madness and became the Joker. Bruce Wayne was killed by Joe Chill instead of his parents.Len Snart was the hero of Central City as Citizen Cold. Barry Allen, even though he still remembered the previous timeline, never was Flash.

Many of the established characters were changed as effect of the paradox: The only memento left from this universe is the letter written by Thomas Wayne to his son. The climax of these tensions would explode in Flashpoint #5, when in the middle of a final battle among the superpowered forces, Barry Allen tried to restore the original timeline by stoping himself but the intervention of Pandora would give origin to the New52 reboot. In other places of the world the powers would shift towards people with superpowers: The Nazis lead by Captain Nazi sized the control of South America Africa was under the control of Grodd's Gorilla Empire Middle east was under Black Adam control India was the rule of the Outsider China was the defense zone of the Twelve Great and Japan had their own army of Red Tornados. The war between this two factions proved to be too much dangerous for the rest of the world and in response the different global powers developted ways to destroy both enemies, without to know than the atlanteans possesed an ultimate weapon than could destroy earth itself. Europe and the north of Africa were destroyed by Aquaman and his Atlanteans, meanwhile the British Islands became the new home of the invading forces of Wonder Woman and the Amazons. The metahuman presence would explode with the war between Atlantis and Themyscira with cathastrophic consecuenses. Most of the time, people with paranormal abilities would be subject of investigation and persecution from the different worlds armies. The absence of the Flash and the JSA (this was a distorted pre-new52 world) keep the concept of superhero unknown to the population. In the war field in fact, the Creature Commandos, leaded by Frankenstein were pivotal to win WW2. The metahuman presence was discovered earlier in this world but the hero activities were not such relevant. His actions affected the speed force same way as a bullet throught a windshield, spreading forward and backward in time. As Zoom explained to Flash, he shattered history. Instead, the changes were random not only affecting what happened after Nora Allen assassination attemp, but also affecting events before that point in time. The nature of the changes doesn't follow a pattern as in a domino effect. This action caused waves than afected time and events in the past and future with cathastrophic consecuenses. Originally believed to be born of the manipulations of Professor Zoom, aka Reverse Flash, the Flashpoint universe was revealed to be created by the fracture in the fabric of reality caused when Barry Allen saved the life of his mother. It was an alternate timeline where the world became a living hell in the brink of destruction and only the Flash, (Barry Allen), was conscious about that. The world of Flashpoint debuted in the Flashpoint event (2011).
