    I just realized something... They put Spectre on Prime Earth..... But he's absent on Earth 2. Last I checked Spectre was originally an Earth 2 character so... Yeah.

    Of course that just makes Prime Earth even MORE messed up than before since with the New Multiverse and Crisis on Infinite Earths having never happened now....Then doesn't that KINDA mean no characters that were not originally part of the Silver Age Earth 1 AKA what everything that survived the first Crisis was thrown onto SHOULDN'T be there? Like no Shazam, no Spectre, JUST the Justice League, Teen Titans, Doom Patrol, and so on?

    Especially since the Captain Marvel mythos, as well as the Spectre who was a JSA member, did NOT crossover into the mainstream universe until AFTER COIE. So.... Am I the only that admits this is even MORE confusing than before since I thought the purpose of this entire thing was to iron out continuity, which is something that SHOULD have happened right at the start of the New 52.

    I always figured Specter was a multiversal being. There's only 1 in the Multiverse and he goes where he's needed/where he wants. Therefore choosing not to go to Earth-2 since it's pretty much destined to fall and he can't do anything about it.

    Several characters that appeared in the scenes in Convergence taking place in the mainstream New 52 Earth-0 had actually already been deceased. Jediah Caul. Skallox. Zilius Zox. Maybe a few others.

    @smart_dork_dude: that is not how it works.

    Convergence was essentially part of a time loop COIE did still happen, but the only reason anyone survived it is brainiac sending heroes back to help.

    Convergence essentially changed nothing, all it did was explain why Flashpoint, which was a universal event, somehow seemed to have rebooted the entire multiverse. Every universe was different in new 52 because of what happened at the end of convergence.
