I've got a question. If all post-crisis charactersare from Earth 8, then would the Wonder Woman relaunched in 1987 be the Earth 8 wonder woman, 'cause technically the Earth 1 Wonder woman was killed in the original Crisis. Can somebody confirm this?

I think Earth 8 Wonder Woman would be Cassie. See, I pretty much have most of it figured out (I think, anyway).

Earth 8 crew:

GL: Kyle Rayner
Batman: Jean-Paul Valley
Robin: Tim Drake
Wonder Woman: Cassie Sandsmark
Superman: Connor Kent
Huntress: Helena Bertinelli
Captain Atom: Breach
Green Arrow: Connor Hawke
Flash: Bart Allen

It's pretty much who's been introduced post CoIE (barring revamps and retcons).

yeah, I remember reading somewhere that every char introduced since the original crisis was a char meant to be from E-8.

Meanwhile, since we're going over some loose threads from the IC, I have an odd question about what happened to the opening E-2 Supes made between their "Paradise" dimension and the reg "New Earth" dimension. Where is it? And can anyone waltz into it?

Wonder Woman didn't die technically, she was put back into the clay form she was made from. She was then recreated.

And E-2 WW was thought to of died, but turned up during IC to help out a little with the "New" Earth WW.

Don't forget-

Firestorm: Jason Rusch

So then which Earth is the new "Firestorm"? (not Jason, the one who appears at the end of #27)

Earth-2 Wonder Woman was never thought dead. It was very clear at the end of Crisis that rather than let her face "redundancy" and as a reward for her many years of service, Zeus brought her to Olympus - along with her husband, Steve Trevor - and made her a "minor deity". She just never popped up in the interim time and due to the effects of CoIE was forgotten by everyone (i.e. - no one ever even knew she had existed but she definitely was not killed in CoIE; her "ascension" to Olympus was one of the best parts of the final issue).

from what was said at DC panels at the Heroes Con, Earth 8 heroes are the characters that were created as a pure replacement and not a temporary or legacy replacement character... hence why Hourman II was transported to Earth 2, but Mr Terrific was not... so the Earth 8 heroes would be..

Kyle Rayner
Jason Rusch
Helena Bertinelli
Breach
Michael Holt (Mr Terrific)


temp replacements like Azrael and Artemis are still part of Earth 1 potential timeline, and Cassie and Tim fall into that branch as well

If they have direct ties to previous established characters, or fall into storyframe without hiccup, then they are tied into said Earths... but even then, its loosely made up as it was just Johns idea of a "neat" mention in Infinite Crises

You know what? Your list sounds better and makes more sense. It also helps that it's pretty much out of the writer's mouth.

Except that Michael Holt is very much a legacy character - he was even driven to become Mr. Terrific II after being inspired by the story of the original Mr. Terrific.

I wont argue the inspiration point... however evidence from Infinite Crises supports this by Michael NOT going to Earth 2 as most of the JSA did.... since we dont know Earth 8's history (and probably never will), we won't know exactly how in THAT history Michael became Mr Terrific (same deal about Kyle becoming a GL or Jason becoming Firestorm)... their "histories" were merged into the "joined" universe and made to fit the existing timeline

I think Atremis could have been the WW of that Earth. She was actually WW here so it would make more sense to me. Im not sure if I agree on Kon-el, Connor, and Bart. They never actually became newer versions of the heroes like the others did.

I remember that. I had meant her disappearance, not her death when I said that. I goofed, sorry.
