Crisis on Infinite Earths

Crisis on Infinite Earths dates back to 1985 when DC Comics published the first 12-issue arc. The original crossover event features Anti-Monitor and Brainiac trying to conquer the remaining Earths. Ultimately their plan fails, which creates a single Earth in the Multiverse. Crisis on Infinite Earths has also been used as the basis for several story arcs in The CW’s Arrowverse shows like The Flash and Arrow.
