The vastness of space.
You can see the remaining trapped alternate worlds, still merging.
On those worlds down below there are many, many heroes, trying to keep the populace calm.
The leaders of universes heroes watch and discuss the next plan as they stand on a floating rock over looking the merging worlds.
Cap: “I still don't know. Are we sure it will work?”
Satireverse Hatman: “There is so much risk.”
Amazing Guy: “We have no choice! Too many have died already!”
Fin Fang Foom: “AG’s right. We have to strike now!”
American Joe: “You young fellas got the right idea! It’s the only way!”
Lightning Jarvis: “We really should ask the man who would lose the most from this.”
CrazySurgarFreakMan: “Yes. Scott, what do you think? It’s you who might die because of this.”
The nine leaders (plus one) present look at Scott Asher, the man called Access. Scott looks at them gravely. “If i have to die to stop the madness caused by the Cowled Crook, then so be it.”
Humdinger: “NO! First I loose him and now you? It’s not fair! There must be some other way! Sir Mumphrey, surly with your watch..”
Sir Mumphrey Wilton: “I wish madam, but as you know, my devices have not been working properly since the crisis began. My hands are tied.”
Jarvis: “Access knows the risk Humdinger. He’s the only one who can.”
Access holds Humdinger, a woman whom he has only recently met yet has become so close to and says, “I have to my love. It’s what my life has led too. If I don’t do this, the ParodyOmniverse will be destroyed. Good bye.” He kisses her and steps off the rock.



The Truth of Amazing Guy Special, Part 1



He feels the universes merging. He then turns inward to his power.
Access has always had the ability to bring people from one alternate world into another, but since the loss of one so like him, he has felt that power grow.
He shouldn't be here. He knows this. After all this time doing what he has done to others, he feels that it should have been him who died.
But now he has a chance to redeem himself.
Access focuses inside.
If he pours all his newfound energy into the worlds, the universes, he might be able to close off the other worlds. The Cowled Crook will still have the Parodyverse, but all those other worlds will be safe.
Amazing Guy pulls up a Multiversal shield to protect the other heroes as Access goes nova. They can no longer see the hero, as he is completely absorbed, his life essence turned into sheer energy.

Scott Asher’s last thought was of Humdinger as he vaporizes.

The energy explodes out, gathering the worlds and swallowing them.
Everyone on these Earths watch as the sky blazes.
For an hour the lightshow continues, as the essence of Access opens the ParodyOmniverse and pulls the worlds away. Each to there proper place.

It doesn't stop there as it leaves the saved worlds and passes into the cosmos.
A broken Azure Arach watches the energy reform the Multiversal web, recreating the alternate universes as it travels backward through time.

Finally, much smaller then before, the residue of life energy subsides in a pocket dimension.
For thousands of years it forms and swirls. The stuff of creation.
Not enough to create a whole world it instead forms a small magma filled rock. It continues to form and change. Soon this fifteen-mile wide, twenty-mile long almost flat rock starts to phase. It soon appears merged with one of the parallel Earths, millions of years ago. It stays on that particular world for what could be counted as three months, then it fades out, appearing in the same spot, only on a different alternate Earth. As the rock continues this pattern, always for only three months per world. A remarkable thing happens. Somehow the energy within the rock starts to create.... life!
At first water, then vegetation, and then amoebae's, then more and more advanced forms. As the rock appears on one chain of worlds the life has developed to apes, on another chain of worlds they develop into Neanderthal tribes, becoming more and more developed as it passes through the Earths. Ages pass on more alternate worlds, the populace of the alternate universes is not aware of the uniqueness of this small stretch of land or it’s inhabitants. When the strange universe-hopping plot of land appears in a world, that world’s inhabitances suddenly have false memories of the new visitors. In other words this new stretch of land, in their minds, has always been there. The beings native to this strange stretch of land now calling them selves the Lytlsmlvlians, (which means The People of Change) also are effected by this. They too believe they’ve always been on these various worlds. Each time it resides on an Earth (for only three months at a time) the people believe that world has always been there for them.
As the ages go on, the Lytlsmlvlians live, grow old and die. They reproduce, sometimes with the natives of the other universes, give birth and so on. The Lytlsmlvlians are tied to their land. The stuff of the Multiverse is a part of their genetic make up. They belong to no single universe, but ALL universes. Generations pass as this small land continues on its path.
Once in a millennium a stranger appears among them. He smiles as the strange land continues on.
Then came a time when an event in the universe called the Parodyverse sounded like a beacon to the strip of land now called Lytlsmlvl.
A man called Jarvis (the same whom later would meet with Access just before the late hero transformed into energy) used his Jarvis Cosmic and created the Parodyverse at a place called the Beginning Fields.
This event started to draw Lytlsmlvl to the Parodyverse, but the Stranger appeared and somehow slowed it down. The strangest thing happened at this time. A child is born to the Lytlsmlvlians unlike any other. They can clearly tell he’s special as his eyes show the Multiverse within them. They name him Scttbsn, which means child of promise.
The Stranger, meanwhile, stood a ways off from Jarvis, at the Beginning Fields. Four others were by his side.
Paradox Stranger: “Well. That was close. If Lytlsmlvl appeared in the Parodyverse now, instead of during the Reality War, Amazing Guy might have died too. Now that it’s held back a bit, only Jarvis will experience that fate.”
The Omnisoul: “Yes. When this world no longer has Jarvis, there will be a vacuum. If our plans succeed, Our agent will fill that vacuum.”
The Chronicler of Stories: “It will take a short period for Lytlsmlvl to adjust to the Parodyverse and I foresee this universe treating it like a virus and pushing it out. This will appear as continuity glitches. But I’m confident the merging will become perminate. Are you sure your champion will suffice?”
Paradox Stranger: “He’s got the stuff. Trust me.”
The Destroyer of Tales: “You clearly have shown that we should not, but desperate times call for it. Ah. Look. The Parodyverse has begun.”
The waves of Jarvis Cosmic reach out, creating the city known as Parodopolis, then GothemMetropolis York, and then outward. Soon all the nations as well as the ocean are there. The power reaches backwards through time, creating a history for this world. It also goes forward into the possible alternate futures. The power continues through space, creating world after world, solar system after solar system.
The five beings admire the new universe called the Parodyverse.
The Shaper of Worlds (Carrington): “Looks like it’s time for you to return to the Heart of Souls, Omnisoul. You have tasks to perform.”
The Omnisoul: “Yes. Now that the history is forming, there will be two objects of power that will come in need in a short period of time.”
The Omnisoul vanishes, leaving the Paradox Stranger and the three beings collectively called the Triumvirate.
The Chronicler of Stories: “Paradox, we have tried to close your ‘experiments’ in the past. You thought that you could sneak those pockets of heroes into this new history. For the time being no one will remember those times. When we get closer to the Resolution War they may become crystallized into the history, but for now they will go unnoticed.”
Paradox Stranger: “Burch, you ruin ALL my fun.”
The Chronicler of Stories bristles at the name has has been called. He continues, “If the stream of reality occurs as we believe it will, this man will not be here for the Resolution War. We accept your replacement. I am warning you. If he does not measure up we will be coming for you!”



Back at the strange universe hopping land, the boy grew older. The other Lytlsmlvlians could tell he’s one with Lytlsmlvl. He seemed to be tied into the interdimensional land. When he experienced great emotion, a wave of Multiversal energy flared around him. Every time Lytlsmlvl would appear in a new Earth, Scttbsn would know of the change. His memories wouldn’t conform to the new surroundings like the other Lytlsmlvlians. At first they would think he was making up these strange stories about their land changing worlds every three months. Then as he got older and started to advance in leadership positions they started to listen.
Unknown to any of them, time progressed faster on Lytlsmlvl then it did in most universes.

Other things occurred that would prove important.
Jordan Howl, the hero known as the Yellow Flashlight, lies dead. Renaissance Man, Fashion Fairy and the rest of the Valiant Vanguard are still fighting for their lives in their greatest battle. No one noticed Howl’s powerful Flashlight Battery vanish just when he needed it earlier.

Soon the Battery is at the cosmic crossroads called the Heart of Souls. The Omnisoul breaks down the basic components into pure GardenSmurf energy (the GardenSmurfs were a very old race of aliens that created the Yellow Flashlight Corps). He placed it in a container for later.


Later, the Protector of the Universe known as Captain Marble dies at the hands of Dark Thugos in another universe. The hero’s last effort is to send his Quantum Bands (the official weapons of a Protector of the Universe) through the dimensional hole that leads to the Parodyverse. They seal off the hole, preventing Thugos from reaching the Parodyverse.
As the Quantum Bands head for Marble’s home world, Eggo, the Living Waffle, intercepts them. He was Marble’s boss, but he is also an agent of the Omnisoul. That’s whom Eggo gives the Bands to.
The Omnisoul then duplicates them down to the very molecular structure, then he sends the copy with Eggo to Marble’s home world.
The Omnisoul then broke down the original Quantum Bands and placed the raw energy in with the GardenSmurf energy from the Flashlight Battery. The two mix and become a more powerful force. This energy reaches out through time and space and touches Lytlsmlvl. It serves as a beacon to the universe hopping stretch of land.

On that land the Chief Governor, Scttbsn, suddenly finds his body flooded with his strange Multiversal energy. He almost faints. The others around him try to help him.
They ask him what's wrong and what happened.
“Something’s.. pulling our land. We’re going somewhere! There’s something else. My ‘gifts’ are getting stronger! AAAARRRGGHHH!”
Scttbsn’s Multiversal energy, the birthright that connects him to Lytlsmlvl, was answering the call back in spades. So strong is the energy flashback that he passes out.
A Multiversal wave of power (remember, this is the same power that at one point in the future was the very essence of the hero called Access) shoots out of Scttbsn. It doesn’t leave him. It only sends forth a powerful response towards the source of the beacon.

That source is of course the QuantumGardenSmerf mix of power at the Heart of Souls. As it travels through the dimensions it transforms into Chronic Waves of Multidimensional energy.
The Omnisoul watches as the Chronic Waves start to hit the Parodyverse. Soon the one called the Narrator will come to start the Infinite Crisis which in turn will start the Reality War. Thanks to the Omnisoul, the one called Access will be split into two beings, the mysterious, resourceful Lurker and the evil, power hungry Narrator. This will prove useful later, during the upcoming Parodyverse Crisis. The Omnisoul allows himself a chuckle as he thinks of all the plans and subplans set up in advance.
He then watches a native of the Parodyverse driving his car out of GothemMetropolis York.
This young man, named Tom Irving, is attending college most of the time in Parodopolis. Today is different though.
Today Tom has plans to drive to the hills forty miles out of the city to meet with his geology class.
The Omnisoul looks Tom over. He will do nicely. Scttbsn is too tied to Lytlsmlvl at this time. The Omnisoul would never be able to separate him from Lytlsmlvl and bond him to the Parodyverse. At least not right now. But if he switched the essence of Scttbsn with this native of the Parodyverse, for three months (the time Lytlsmlvl would be in the Parodyverse), then his true home would leave and the Paradox Stranger’s new champion would be bonded, in part with his new home.
Of course there would have to be a test soon after, but it should work.
As for young Tom Irving, well, he would go on with Lytlsmlvl, not knowing any different.

While the Omnisoul muses, Tom sees a hitchhiker in the middle of nowhere. He’s got a gray hat and suit complete with a cape.
Ignoring his impulse to keep driving, Tom pulls over.
“Want a lift?”
The stranger smiles and replies, “Sure. There's a town just over that hill.”
Tom looks at the man strangely, “Town? Mister, I’ve lived in this region all my life and there's no town out here. We’re thirty miles from the city and.”
“Trust me Tom Irving. There is today. Please be kind and give me a lift.”
Tom normally would drive off, but something about this stranger seemed a paradox. He SHOULD be afraid, but he’s not.
So against his better judgment, Tom gives the stranger a ride. Soon they are passing around the hill on this old empty road.

At this moment things come together with a blinding flash.
Lytlsmlvl appears thirty miles from Parodopolis, right on top of where Tom and the Stranger were driving. It’s people always believing they belong here. The town’s name is translated to the best English version, now being called LittleSmallville.
Still flaring with power, the unconscious Scttbsn (Parodyverse translated to the name Scott Brunsen) fades out. His essence stored within the Parodyverse native Tom Irving.
Scttbsn had a consort just before the town swapped universes. Her name was Jnenlmr. She becomes Tom’s girlfriend by the name Janeen Lemur. Unlike Scttbsn, she is like the rest of the Lytlsmlvlians in that she has no special powers.
The Omnisoul looks pleased. The Hooded Hood and Cowled Crook haven't yet noticed the appearance of LittleSmallville or the natural retcon that makes the Parodyverse think it’s always been there. The very essence of LittleSmallville comes from Access, a native of the Parodyverse. This means that once the universe-hopping city arrived in its original universe (more or less), it began a strange relationship.
The Omnisoul and Paradox Stranger realized this. While the Parodyverse might in the future try to push LittleSmallville and it’s people out, now that the town has returned it will boomerang back until it’s merged permanently.
The Chronic waves continue to bathe the Parodyverse. Since they originated from Scttbsn’s Multiversal power and that power (and in fact the whole essence of Scttbsn, originate from the essence of the hero called Access, the Chronic Waves cause effects that Access would be able to do. They bring people from other universes to the Parodyverse and send people from the Parodyverse to other universes.
Meanwhile Scttbsn, now within the mortal Tom Irving, complete with a new set of memories, believes he’s always lived in LittleSmallville as a drafting student. In his new life he’s at college, during his last year studying as a student in CAD (computer assisted drafting). Thanks to the small retcon that Lytlsmlvl created by appearing, Tom has never taken Geology and wont be meeting with those students. Instead he’s in the CAD lab on a Saturday, putting in extra time to catch up on some schoolwork. He also has a small job at Jungle Jeff's Play land although he doesn't have to be in today.
Today Tom continues to work on his project while listening to the radio.
"Reports verify that Parodopolis is under attack from two armies at war. The heroes are trying to stop the fighting. The strange thing about this is that one army is made up of strange cyber beings, the other is strange bug like aliens. More on this as it develops." Reports the news on the radio.
"Jeez, man what I would give to be able to help those guys. Aw well, stick to your work tom." Tom thinks to himself.
At that moment a Chronic wave passes through, causing Tom to feel sick. This is of course because the waves come from Scttbsn, and since he is merged with Tom, the waves are centralizing on him, and are trying to return to their source. This makes the mortal shell of Tom feel quite green.
Now, as the power starts to flow back into him, it sparks Scttbsn’s latent Multiversal powers. Because the Multiversal effect has a difficulty flowing through Tom’s mortal shell it focuses instead on pulling powers from other beings across the Multiverse. It acts like a power copier, duplicating abilities from other beings across the cosmos at the mental whim of Tom/Scttbsn instead of just accessing the raw power of the multicosmos.
This being said, Tom is in for a shock.
"Man, I left those drawings over there, now I gotta get up and get them. At least that sick feeling has passed. Wish I could just make them…."Tom never finishes as he sees the drawings become enveloped in telekinetic energy and brought over to him. He's amazed and jump up out of his chair. "I -I did it! Man, it'd be cool if I had other X-men powers, like Iceman-"with that toms body is covered in sheet of ice, amazed he covers the chalk board with ice. "Two powers? Oh man! This is getting great! I wonder..?" He then shoots out flames, melting both the ice and the board. "Oh crap! I'd better do this outside. Wait, I thought of the Human Torch's powers and I had them, but the other powers faded away. It seems that I can gain whatever power I think of. I have this power, and I'm a comic collector? And I can do any of the powers I know? WHHAAAHOO!" With that Tom tries, and succeeds in transforming his cloths into a super hero suit. Purple boots, half calf length, green tights, short sleeves, purple wristlets, and a purple cape. "Ok Lair Legion, here I come!" He says as he flies off.

At the Heart of Imagination, sometimes called the Heart of Souls, the Omnisoul watches Tom fly off from a energy created veiw screan while the young hero called Access recovers from the strange events that just happened to him.

The Reality War, with the confusing story about Access and Amazing Guy first appears.


“Well, now Scttbsn has begun his journey as a hero of this universe. While he’s within the mortal Tom Irving, the Hood should be confused for a bit. He won’t realize Scttbsn’s true presence in this. He won’t even know about the truth of LittleSmallville. The Hood will think mortal Tom Irving is all there is to Amazing Guy. This will lead to his need of a few pawns to deal with his alternate children.” The Omnisoul thinks to himself, “If that happens i will have to use my tools further.” He looks at the glowing ball of energy that was the GardenSmurf power mixed with the Quantum power of the old bands.”
Access approaches him.
"Access, I have a mission for you.” The Omnisoul begins.



But Access mission to become the Lurker, and Amazing Guy’s first mission to save Lisa, and get trained by Fin Fang Foom, the Dark Knight and a few other heroes are all dealt with else where.
To continue on our journey to discover the truth of Amazing Guy, we must go further.
Part 2 of this Special will involve the new Amazing Guy in the Hooded Hood’s clutches, the truth about AG’s time in the pocket dimension and the fate of Tom Irving!
