MEMORANDUM FROM: Dr Justin Drake, Portal Multiversal Research Division TO: Dr Ervin Levine, Research Coordinator In response to your questions:
As far as we can tell, all the alternate universes (branes) we have observed so far have one thing in common - a hero, deity or demiurge-type character named 'Codewalker' (or something very similar). In some universes, he is a hero that works out of the public eye, but still manages to save the day. In others, he is a mystical, mythical, world-creator that appears once in an eon to make upgrades to the world.
Then of course, there are the CPs.
In about 48 branes, there is a person named Crash Positron. In some universes, she (they are almost always female) are a Planetary Class hero and in others, a minor area hero. The odd thing - to us at least - there is an Earth-1 (our universe) hero that resembles them exactly!
CCTV at Portal captured Chat Noir and Chat Chocolat interviewing CP-Noir
This was discovered when the local hero, Chat Noir (and her friend Chat Chocolat, who cosplays as Noir for Paragon Chocolatiers), happened to be at the Portal facility when CP-Noir came through from
DF889KK Earth-Bright-Noir . A long conversation between the three soon revealed that 1) Noir and CP-Noir were identical in every conceivable way (right down to the contents of their closets!) 2) CP-Noir said her name was 'Crash Positron' 3) Noir knows the minor EARTH-1 hero 'Crash Positron' and CP-Noir did not look like him in any way 4) CP-Noir's world does not contain a hero named 'Chat Noir' 5) Various historical incidents didn't occur in CP-Noir's version of the universe, such as
The Paragon Event that removed everyone's powers in EARTH-1's Paragon City and some other historical events did, such as the
Sino-Japanese Hello Kitty War of 1989 (which see in 'Historical Differences Across Entangled Branes' under DF889KK Earth-Bright-Noir).
This 'coincidence' led Portal Researchers, in cooperation with Goggle Search, to add 'Crash Positron' to the automatic searches taking place and this led to the discovery of 48 (so far) branes in which a hero named Crash Positron, but otherwise the same as a EARTH-1 local hero, exists. These are all remarkably similar to our own universe and all contain a CP. The researchers called these 'entangled universes' because of the similarity to 'entangled photons' used in cryptography.
