Elseworld	comment	A Sister Trope to What If?. While What If? explores another fork in the road taken by a character, an Elseworld takes a well-known character and plonks them into a potentially wildly different location and situation. This can add some freshness to a character which allows them to act a different way than normal canon might allow but may also become an excuse to write professional Transplanted Character Fic of the Recycled In SPACE variety. Daring writers trusted by loyal fans may do this kind of episode without any warning or explanation. Well regarded elseworld stories generally involve 1) either keeping the characters and their motivations recognizable despite the new setting and situations or 2) working within the confines of the new setting in order to get back to the original premise in a reasonable way. Comes from the term used by DC Comics for these kinds of stories; they publish one-shots and Mini Series like this. Compare to Alternate Continuity. If a show is all Elseworlds all the time, you've got a Commedia dell'Arte Troupe. DC's Elseworlds are sometimes grouped into six categories. These categories can be applied outside of DC Comics, of course. Historical: The characters are transplanted into a historical context. Example: Transformers: Hearts of Steel (19th-century robots). Alternate History: Some element of real-world history is different. Example: Superman: Red Son (where Superman's rocket landed in the Soviet Union instead of America). Alternate Timeline: Some elements of the work's fictional history are different. Example: Friends, "The One That Could Have Been" (where Monica is still fat, Ross is still married to Carol, Phoebe works on Wall Street, etc.). Genre Graft: The work changes genre. Example: The Prisoner (1967), "Living in Harmony" (a Western). Fiction Graft: The work is melded with a famous work of fiction. Example: Superman: War of the Worlds. Potential Future: The story is set in a potential future of the setting. This tends not to be this trope as we use it here (since it's not an alternate universe, just the future of the one we have). Often a Bad Future. Example: Heroes, "Five Years Gone". In fanfiction, this is a type of Alternate Universe (or AU), where the characters generally remain the same but the setting changes. High school AUs are very popular, probably because many of the writers are themselves in high school. (On This Very Wiki, we use a broader definition of Alternate Universe, of which Elseworld is a subset.) See also Alternate Reality Episode, which can overlap. Not to be confused with the video game Elsword, or the 2018 Arrowverse crossover Elseworlds, which deliberately invokes this trope.

Elseworld / int_22211d68	comment	In the fourth season finale of Bones, Brennan and Booth are married, and all their friends and squints are either staff or patrons at their nightclub. This episode was probably the most polarizing ever to be seen on Bones, which is known for its consistency in tone, rivaled only by the last five minutes or so of "The Pain in The Heart". It was stuffed with clever in-jokes and references which would completely incomprehensible to even a casual fan, had a frankly awesome cameo by MÃ¶tley CrÃ¼e, and showed Brennan and Booth the way the vast majority of fans have wanted to see them from the beginning. But it was all a dream, and some fans were pissed because the sex between Booth and Brennan wasn't real. Of course, later they not only had sex, but got married and had two children.

Elseworld / int_2e3e7ac2	comment	Justice League would do this by introducing the Justice Lords, alternate versions of the League who became tyrannical dictators after Lex Luthor becomes President, murders the Flash, and nearly drives the world to nuclear war, leading to Superman killing Luthor and deciding to take over. In such a dystopia, everything looks clean and neat, but criminals have been lobotomized, there's no fair and free elections, civil liberties are virtually nonexistent, and you can get arrested for so much as complaining about a restaurant check being wrong. A bad case of Victory Is Boring leads them to learn of the main DC Animated Universe reality so they can "fix" this world, but the League takes them out by getting Lex Luthor pardoned in exchange for his aid. The Lords' actions later play a major impact for Justice League Unlimited, where Project Cadmus is founded in part due to their arrival, and is actually the long-term goal of Brainiac, who manipulates events to try and lead to the outcome of the Lords' reality, which would destroy the Earth in the process.

Darkwing and Negaduck as space alien cousins. Also a parody of sorts, with rockets bearing babies escaping the doomed planet in the nick of time.

Furthermore, Amanda Waller is the President of the USA and Dr. Sivana works for her, and several scientists like Ray Palmer and Victor Fries are normal scientists. The tie-in miniseries, Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles explores this further as Harley Quinn is an ax-crazy serial killer who's not above hurting children, Brainiac is a genetically-engineered little kid who can't control his powers, and Giganta is a mecha. Batman: Gotham by Gaslight adapted the comic of the same name, but with a twist: Jack Packer is Adapted Out, with James Gordon being Jack the Ripper, instead. Superman: Red Son likewise adapts its namesake and changes some things, including keeping Kryptonians Human Aliens instead of evolved humans from Earth's future. Batman: Soul of the Dragon is explicitly referred to as this on the back of its DVD/Blu-Ray case. The film is set in the 1970s and features altered versions of Cheshire and Judomaster, as well as Batman in a Bolivian Army Ending.

Elseworld / int_60f02ddb	comment	American Dad! did it twice. First with a James Bond spoof entitled "Tearjerker", where Stan is still a CIA agent but is fighting to defeat Roger, rewritten as a vengeful film producer named Tearjerker, who is planning to murder millions with a film so depressing it makes people cry to death. The second time, "Hot Water", was a musical episode where Stan buys a hot tub that turns out to be alive and psychotic. The episode ended with the hot tub murdering Francine and Stan. According to Word of God, "Hot Water" was written as a series finale because the producers hadn't received word about the show's renewal. When the renewal did indeed happen, they released the episode as a season premire (Albeit a non-canon one). There was also a Christmas Special where almost everyone (including Stan, Francine, Roger, etc.) is left on Earth during the Rapture, except for a few people. The Anti-Christ takes over the planet, turns it into an apocalyptic wasteland, captures Francine, and Stan teams up with Jesus to save her. At the end, Stan goes to his own personal Heaven: home with his wife and kids implying the events actually happened and the rest of the series takes place here, until the camera pans to show Klaus mounted on the wall. This episode got a prequel, where Hayley adopts a baby who turns out to be the Anti-Christ from the Christmas special, and Jeff dies while trying to help Stan and Roger kill it. (He actually doesn't, but it's never explained how he survived.) They've done a sequel episode to "Tearjerker" now, "For Black Eyes Only", where Stan and Tearjerker have to team up against a new villain played by Steve's principal (his name is simply "Black Villain"). There's also the episode "Blood Crieth Unto Heaven" which is staged as a play where the usual cast are all playing themselves or something acting out a "lost script" by some genius writer who was obsessed with the show. It's framed by a live-action Patrick Stewart watching from a theater box (despite the character he does the voice for appearing in the play itself).

Elseworld / int_63e72a51	comment	2000 AD They ran two "Alternity" specials in the 90s featuring reimagined characters such as "Dredd of Dock Green". Durham Red: Scarlet Apocrypha took the eponymous character out of her far-future adventures and reimagined her as existing at various other places and times. Judge Dredd Megazine #460 has a gimmick of featuring Elseworld versions of Battle characters, with the Elseworld being the Dreddverse. So we get the Boxed Crook Rat Pack reinvented as mutant terrorists called the Rad Pack, sent on a mission to the Cursed Earth under Judge Taggart; Strato Squad is a composite of Johnny Red and Lofty's One-Man Lufftwaffe, with an Ace Pilot undercover in the Sov Block during the Apocalypse War; and Darkie's Mob fighting their way through Deadworld rather than Burma. (The same week's 2000 AD also featured alternate versions of Battle strips, but mostly by just adding sci-fi or supernatural elements to what was already there.)

Elseworld / int_6abf16c2	comment	The Big Finish Doctor Who Doctor Who Unbound stories explore what would happen in alternate realities. The series Auld Morality explores what would happen if the Doctor had not left Gallifrey. It's follow-up story Storm of Angels went in the opposite direction; what if the Doctor left Gallifrey and began changing the course of history. Sympathy For The Devil explores what would happen if the Doctor never joined UNIT in the 1970's. We don't see the results directly, but it resulted in The Brigadier being disgraced and removed from his position due to multiple failures and pyrrhic victories. A follow-up story, Masters Of War, examined how The Doctor and Davros' relationship would change if the Doctor met Davros after his subsequent death and ressurrection rather than at the creation of the Daleks. This version of the Doctor continues to appear in the Bernice Summerfield audio series, but is treated more as an Alternate Self to the "prime" Doctor and their adventures together don't really serve as Elseworld stories. Full Fathom Five is about what if the Doctor was more pragmatic and believed that The End Justifies the Means. He Jests At Scars might as well be called "What if the Valeyard had won?". Deadline at first appears to be an alternate universe where Doctor Who was a fictional TV show that was cancelled after one season... Exile is about the Doctor choosing to take their own life at the end of The War Games and regenerating into a female incarnation. Notably, her previous incarnation appears to be played by Nicholas Briggs and not Patrick Troughton. Furthermore, the female Doctor is being pursued by an actor played by David Tenant, who himself would follow a female doctor in a different way ... The Doctor Of War subseries follows what would happen if ''Genesis Of The Daleks'' went differently and the Doctor did kill the Kaled mutants. From a more meta point of view, it can be considered a "What if Colin Baker got to play the Darker and Edgier Doctor he originally wanted?"

The "normal world" in Teal'c's hallucinations in "The Changeling" is also an example, and has even spawned a fanfiction community. So is the Stargate Atlantis episode "Vegas", but it's an actual Alternate Universe. In the Stargate Universe episode "Cloverdale", Scott hallucinated a world where the entire cast lived together in a small town, with Scott and Chloe about to get married. It kept the casts' personalities the same, along with many of the interpersonal relationships - for instance, Eli was Chloe's brother, while James was Scott's ex-girlfriend.

Elseworld / int_7161cf0c	comment	Crisis on Infinite Earths (2019) culminates in the exploration of the larger live-action DC Multiverse, which includes Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher's Batman films on Earth-89, a darker take on the Teen Titans on Earth-9, the previously shown Earth-X, the campy world of the original Batman tv series on Earth-66, the home of the dramatic Superman series of Earth-167, the original Christopher Reeve Superman series on Earth-96 (having gone the way of Kingdom Come, complete with a role reprisal by Brandon Routh from Superman Returns), and the original CW drama in a world without Batman on Earth-203. It also includes Earth-18 (where Jonah Hex guards a Lazarus Pit), Earth-16 (in which an older, more grizzled Oliver Queen battles a lone fight in the future), and Earth-99 (in which an older and beaten Bruce Wayne, mixing his Kingdom Come and Batman Beyond portrayals, physically portrayed by long-time voice actor Kevin Conroy, has become a murderous psychopath who killed his rogues gallery and his world's Superman). While it all gets destroyed by the Anti-Monitor, the seven paragons are able to restore everything by merging Earth-1, Earth-38, and the world of Black Lightning, transforming Earth-2 into the world of Stargirl (2020) and Earth-19 into the world of Swamp Thing, and featuring the worlds of Earth-21 (Doom Patrol (2019)) and Earth-12 (using footage from Green Lantern (2011)). It even features a cameo from Ezra Miller as the Barry Allen of the DC Extended Universe.

Elseworld / int_7c038c18	comment	Phineas and Ferb has a few, sometimes collectively referred to as "Time Shift" episodes. "The Monster of Phineas-N-Ferbenstein" is a send-up of Universal Horror movies and takes place in the Victorian Era. "Tri-Stone Area" features all of the characters in a prehistoric setting. "Doof Dynasty" is in ancient China. "Excaliferb!" places the characters in a medieval/fantasy setting. "Phineas and Ferb and the Temple of Juatchadoon" is an Indiana Jones spoof set in the early 20th century "Steampunx" is set in rural America in 1903. Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars takes place, well, guess. A handful of these are explained as in-universe stories bring told between characters, like Grandpa Reginald and Doofenshmirtz recalling stories about their ancestors in "The Monster of Phineas-N-Ferbenstein"; "Excaliferb!" is a High Fantasy book that Carl is reading to Major Monogram; and Lawrence tells the story of "Steampunx" to the kids after they find a coin from the 1904 World's Fair, though in the closing joke, it turns out this one was Real After All. These are also often used to play with the characters in ways that the show's formula wouldn't normally allow: for example, Phineas and Ferb's counterparts can interact with the Agent P and Doofenshmirtz equivalents in "Doof Dynasty", "Excaliferb!", "Temple of Juatchadoon", and "Star Wars", or in "Doof Dynasty" and "Star Wars", Phineas is shown reciprocating Isabella's crush on him.

Elseworld / int_7cf5a07	comment	Early on in The Flash (2014), the second season would feature Earth-2, a quasi-futuristic world where Barry Allen never became the Flash, Earth was involved in some sort of conflict called "The War of The Americas", Robert Queen was the sole survivor of the wreck of the Queen's Gambit and became The Arrow rather than his son, the particle acceleration explosion led to the creation of a multitude of criminals (Zoom, Killer Frost, Deathstorm, etc.), and Joe West was a nightclub singer instead of a cop. Later seasons throughout all the series revealed that Dinah Lance lost her father at 13 due to a drunk driver and became the criminal Black Siren, and Jennifer Pierce was a full-blown criminal who happily embraced working for the ASA and Agent Odell, resulting in her killing her family. Later on, Earth-3 was introduced, revealing that Jay Garrick hailed from that reality. Here, it utilized modern architecture with past elements (like Zeppelins and Tommy Guns), and The Trickster bore a stronger resemblance to The Joker (as an Actor Allusion to Mark Hamill). However, In Spite of a Nail is in play, as the alternate counterparts to Henry Allen and Nora Allen, Jay and his wife Joan, still got married. Later still came Earth-19, a world in which all inter-dimensional travel was heavily policed due to an otherworldly invasion. The primarily difference in this world is that H.R. Wells did found S.T.A.R. Labs, but lacked scientific acumen and was more of a creative thinker, eventually leading to his ousting. Besides that, Shaquille O'Neal was a saint, "Weird Al" Yankovic was a poet, Star Wars came out with Luke "Starkiller" as its main character, Al Capone was Vice-President, Abraham Lincoln was on the $100 bill instead of the $5, Alfred Hitchcock made a movie called Murder On The Titanic, and Gladiator was released as Sweaty Man.

It's told from the point of view of The Joker. Or rather, a person who believes himself to be the Joker. This world's Batman likes to take enemies of the state, mind-wipe them, and turn them into carbon-copies of past Batman villains with implanted memories; he then uses them in a yearly bloodsport where the entire city dresses up as Batmen/girls/women and attempts to kill one of the villains so as to get a chance to fight him for the right to become the new Batman. However, after an act of rebellion from his personal doctor/surgeon who converts the rebels into faux villains, this year's Joker gradually regains his memories and, after discovering the original Batcave, defeats the wannabe Bat-god and takes up the mantle of the Bat. He also rescues his girlfriend, who had had her vocal cords removed as punishment for being a rebel; she becomes his Robin.

They later ran more Elseworld-style stories; these are not usually specifically labeled as either (Marvel Mangaverse, Marvel Zombies, Marvel 1602, X-Men Fairy Tales, Marvel Apes, etc.). In fact, it's implied (sometimes plain told) that every Marvel "What If" is one universe from the full Marvel multiverse. So, Marvel Zombies started as an alternate universe of Ultimate Marvel, then crossed with official 616-Earth. Ultimate X-Men have been spotted in Exiles, on a single panel showing scenes of the multiverse. In its late 80's/early 90's incarnation, the series started relying on Cruel Twist Endings. While What If? by definition tended to end unhappily, the second series relied on Idiot Ball and ultimately stopped explaining the divergences' origin. One issue had Mephisto corrupting young Danny Ketch into a brutal Serial Killer without explaining why he didn't do this in the main universe. Marvel also had The 5 Ronin, which transplanted Wolverine, The Punisher, The Hulk, Psylocke and Deadpool into Tokugawa-era Japan. One generation of What If...? stories didn't really answer (or, for that matter, pose) a "what if" question, and were just, well, Elseworlds — like "The Devil who Dared", which features Daredevil as a ninja in feudal Japan. The 2018 run of What If runs the gauntlet from stories that are What If?, Elseworlds or something in-between. "What If? Spider-Man" is very much a For Want Of A Nail story (to the point where it's the only one narrated by The Watcher- or rather, The Unseen), "What If? X-Men" transplants the X-Men into a Shadowrun-like setting, and "What If? Thor" poses a What If? question but is written as an original story rather than a divergence from the traditional timeline. Chuck Dixon's A Man Called Frank was noteworthy for being an Punisher elseworld when that was considered more of a DC trope. Demon Days is an Elseworld where the Marvel universe is much, much closer to Japanese mythology, starring a version of Psylocke (called Sai) as a wandering swordswoman and her dog named Logan.

Elseworld / int_a183d57f	comment	Futurama has the two "Anthology of Interest" episodes, each with one of the three main characters using the Professor's "What-if Machine" which basically, when asked a question, shows a video of an elseword based on that question. Bender's questions where what if he were made 50-ft tall, and what if he was turned human. He ends up dead in both. Fry's were what if he was never cryogenically frozen, and what if life was like a video game. Leela's were what if she was more impulsive, and what if she found her real parents (the latter played with in that she ended up knocked out and dreamed the elseworld, which is a The Wizard of Oz parody). The first episode starts with Farnsworth talking about his new invention "the fing-longer", which is essentially a cross between a glove and a pool cue. He demonstrates it by using it to activate the What-If machine, which everyone is (justifiably) more interested in. It ends with the revelation that the whole episode has been the Professor using the What-If machine to see what things would be like if he'd invented the fing-longer. Another elseworld episode is "Naturama," which reinterprets the cast as animals under the framing device of an Omicromnian nature documentary. Just to remind that the episode is an elseworld, the Omicromnians blow up the Earth at the end.

Elseworld / int_bf09bf33	comment	The Arrowverse has played with the concept of Elseworlds on a few occasions: Early on in The Flash (2014), the second season would feature Earth-2, a quasi-futuristic world where Barry Allen never became the Flash, Earth was involved in some sort of conflict called "The War of The Americas", Robert Queen was the sole survivor of the wreck of the Queen's Gambit and became The Arrow rather than his son, the particle acceleration explosion led to the creation of a multitude of criminals (Zoom, Killer Frost, Deathstorm, etc.), and Joe West was a nightclub singer instead of a cop. Later seasons throughout all the series revealed that Dinah Lance lost her father at 13 due to a drunk driver and became the criminal Black Siren, and Jennifer Pierce was a full-blown criminal who happily embraced working for the ASA and Agent Odell, resulting in her killing her family. Later on, Earth-3 was introduced, revealing that Jay Garrick hailed from that reality. Here, it utilized modern architecture with past elements (like Zeppelins and Tommy Guns), and The Trickster bore a stronger resemblance to The Joker (as an Actor Allusion to Mark Hamill). However, In Spite of a Nail is in play, as the alternate counterparts to Henry Allen and Nora Allen, Jay and his wife Joan, still got married. Later still came Earth-19, a world in which all inter-dimensional travel was heavily policed due to an otherworldly invasion. The primarily difference in this world is that H.R. Wells did found S.T.A.R. Labs, but lacked scientific acumen and was more of a creative thinker, eventually leading to his ousting. Besides that, Shaquille O'Neal was a saint, "Weird Al" Yankovic was a poet, Star Wars came out with Luke "Starkiller" as its main character, Al Capone was Vice-President, Abraham Lincoln was on the $100 bill instead of the $5, Alfred Hitchcock made a movie called Murder On The Titanic, and Gladiator was released as Sweaty Man. Crisis on Earth-X is partially set in a world where the Nazis won World War II by developing the nuclear bomb first, leading many of its characters to meet alternate versions of themselves, e.g. the main trio (Green Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl) encountering their evil counterparts. Elseworlds deliberately invokes this trope (and name) with a reality-altering and universe-hopping plot. When Green Arrow and The Flash discover their world is changed in significant ways by The Monitor, they seek outside help from the likes of Supergirl, Superman, and another Flash, who all exist on different Earths from their own. Crisis on Infinite Earths (2019) culminates in the exploration of the larger live-action DC Multiverse, which includes Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher's Batman films on Earth-89, a darker take on the Teen Titans on Earth-9, the previously shown Earth-X, the campy world of the original Batman tv series on Earth-66, the home of the dramatic Superman series of Earth-167, the original Christopher Reeve Superman series on Earth-96 (having gone the way of Kingdom Come, complete with a role reprisal by Brandon Routh from Superman Returns), and the original CW drama in a world without Batman on Earth-203. It also includes Earth-18 (where Jonah Hex guards a Lazarus Pit), Earth-16 (in which an older, more grizzled Oliver Queen battles a lone fight in the future), and Earth-99 (in which an older and beaten Bruce Wayne, mixing his Kingdom Come and Batman Beyond portrayals, physically portrayed by long-time voice actor Kevin Conroy, has become a murderous psychopath who killed his rogues gallery and his world's Superman). While it all gets destroyed by the Anti-Monitor, the seven paragons are able to restore everything by merging Earth-1, Earth-38, and the world of Black Lightning, transforming Earth-2 into the world of Stargirl (2020) and Earth-19 into the world of Swamp Thing, and featuring the worlds of Earth-21 (Doom Patrol (2019)) and Earth-12 (using footage from Green Lantern (2011)). It even features a cameo from Ezra Miller as the Barry Allen of the DC Extended Universe.

These new scenarios all follow classic fanfic alternate universes—fittingly, considering the author got her start with Homestuck fanfiction. The first is a Role Swap AU where Harrow was disowned by her parents for having no necromantic ability, some mysterious stranger (Gideon) was adopted instead, and Harrow took up the sword in order to be good at something. The second is a Royalty AU where Harrow is attending a ball as a marriage prospect for a mysterious "Her Highness" (Gideon). Despite Harrow's earlier insistence that she had never read a romance novel, this one seems rather more detailed than she'd like to admit. The third is a Military AU where Harrow joined the Cohort to earn money for her failing House. This is the one with the most detail, as well as the most plausible... until it suddenly turns into a Coffee Shop AU Fic with a hotshot new barista (Gideon) that all the officers are enamored with. Abigail Pent puts a stop to this silliness right before the Meet Cute.

Elseworld / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers: Hearts Of Steel was an Elseworld where some of the Transformers wake up on Earth during the Industrial Revolution rather than in 1984 as they did in Transformers: Generation 1, and took corresponding vehicle modes such as trains, propeller aircraft and warships. Human characters in the comic included John Henry, Mark Twain, and Jules Verne. According to writer Chuck Dixon this was meant to be a possible part of regular continuity, but numerous discrepancies (most notably the fact that the Transformers are seen waging war on Earth during the ice age, in the forms of fantastical creatures) contradict this. Nevertheless, Continuity Porn aficionado John Barber took the challenge to fit Hearts of Steel into regular continuity during the mini-series Revolutionaries by proposing that the steampunk Transformers were actually a crew of beast Transformers who were shot down to ice age Earth by Shockwave and brainwashed by him into thinking they were the genuine Optimus Prime, Bumblebee et al. and fighting each other For Science!... until they were forced to go into stasis when Shockwave was temporarily put out of commission in "Spotlight: Shockwave," waking up ages later during the Industrial Revolution with the brainwashing still intact. Hearts of Steel was originally meant to be the first in a set of Elseworlds called The Transformers: Evolution. However, the series was never continued as Hasbro wanted to limit the number of alternate continuities (this was circa Transformers (2007)).
