Thanks. I did much of it a while back. I wanted to include players from the DC Universe and/or NCIS but there isn’t much to choose from. Assume there are other players fictional to the real world who exist there, including Hall of Fame and all-time top 50-level, who weren’t mentioned.
My nod to the ‘butterfly effect’ was scattering the real-world players to teams other than the ones they played for IRL. I do have a rule in that certain teams are as dominant there as IRL and certain players play/played for the same teams on E-1 they did in the real world (Yankees, Patriots, Warriors, Canadiens, UCLA, Kentucky for example; Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio were Yankees, Ted Williams a Red Sox, Michael Jordan a Bull, Tom Brady a Patriot, Kobe Bryant a Laker, etc.). Then again, you have the divergences — Dr. J Julius Erving went to the Knicks, not the 76ers; Peyton Manning played for the Saints; Wayne Gretzky played for the Oilers, Kings AND the Mammoths; Larry Bird retired a Pacer; and on and on and on....

No. Luthor doesn't own any sports franchises, although his fingerprints can be found in the stadiums and arenas they play in (Apple MetroDome, Verizon Wireless Field, Charter Spectrum Park, Metro Square Arena, Sundollar Field). Bruce Wayne doesn't own Gotham Mutiny (which relocated from Tampa Bay instead of folding; same with the Star City Fusion, which moved from Miami). He does own the Gotham Blades hockey team. |

(Cross posted from AH dot com)
On Earth-96, Bruce Wayne never became the Batman. He ended up fighting crime with a ring, but no less effectively than if he relied solely on his intellect and his training.
After Wayne's first attempt at crimefighting was a disaster, he returned to Wayne Manor, discouraged. Wayne talked to his dead father in his mind -- as he often did -- and heard a loud noise outside the mansion. He then saw an emerald-colored ghostly figure emerge from a bust and heard it say 'you are chosen. Come.'. Wayne followed the apparition to the source of the noise: an alien ship containing the dying Abin Sur, Green Lantern of Sector 2814. Sur gave Wayne his power ring and told him to await contact from the Guardians of the Universe. Wayne gave Sur a burial, hid the ship in what we know as the Batcave and continued his crimefighting career while mastering the ring.
His first mission captured a trio of robbers at a chemical plant and inadvertently prevented the origin of The Joker. His next mission was given him directly by the Guardians: capture rogue GL Sinestro. He does so, banishing the former hero to the alternate dimension of Qward (after giving Sinestro's power ring to Katma Tui). Wayne returns to Earth and asks Lieutenant James Gordon for help in finding the killer of Martha and Thomas Wayne (Bruce Wayne's parents). As Gordon closes in on solving that mystery, Sinestro appears to him in a yellow outfit -- bearing a yellow power ring from the Weaponers of Qward -- and kills him after using the yellow ring to scan his memories, including what he's discovered about the Wayne murders. Sinestro finds the criminal Joe Chill, absorbs his memories and kills him; Green Lantern encounters Sinestro after finding Chill's body, Sinestro having become mentally unstable after absorbing the psychotic/multiple-personality mental imprints of Chill.
GL and Sinestro fight to a stand-off. Sinestro decides to create his own allies: he abducts Gotham defense attorney Harvey Dent and scars half his body -- including his brain -- giving the man a split personality (pure good, pure evil), and he enables burglar Selina Kyle to become a Star Sapphire. GL and Sinestro battle numerous times, and GL's obsession with defending Earth (and Gotham) and refusal to give up the ring leads the Guardians to find other Earthers capable of defending Sector 2814: Superman (Kal-El/Clark Kent), Diana (Wonder Woman) and Flash (Barry Allen), all members of the fledgling Justice League of America.
Their first assignment: find Wayne and bring him to Oa.
Superman, Wonder Woman and Flash join the rest of the Justice League (Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, Cyborg, Captain Comet, Black Canary and Green Arrow) in apprehending Wayne, and are joined by other Lanterns, including Katma Tui and Kilowog. Sinestro uses the distraction to break into GL's cave; he injures Wayne's butler, Alfred Pennyworth, and attempts to remove Wayne's power battery when he's confronted by Superman, Wonder Woman and Flash. Wayne, besieged by the other Lanterns and the other Leaguers, breaks off and follows the three new Lanterns to the cave. Wonder Woman uses her ring to heal Alfred of his injuries, and Wayne arrives just in time to help her, Superman and Flash fight off Sinestro -- who then attempts to bring down the cave itself. Sinestro can't outrun Katma Tui, Kilowog and the League -- much less Superman or the Flash -- but he can escape to Qward.
Superman, Wonder Woman and Flash ask Wayne to at least give them a crash course in how the ring works and how to use it. Wayne refuses, telling them Katma Tui, Kilowog and other Lanterns can do that; they need to defend the Earth while he searches for Sinestro. He also asks them to make sure Gotham is protected in his absence, and they can do that by finding the man who defended the city decades ago: Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern.
Wayne searches the universe, obsessed with finding Sinestro. The Guardians decide they're better off helping him than to forcibly take the ring from him (the Guardians are impressed by his iron will). They determine where Sinestro went to, and a Green Lantern task force brings Sinestro to justice (and back to the Lanterns' dimension).
Wayne returns to Earth, resumes his role as Gotham's protector by night (leaving Gotham by day to the newly unretired Alan Scott) and joins the League (after the Guardians accept the rings back from Superman, Wonder Woman and Flash, all of whom vouch for Bruce Wayne as the sole Green Lantern). Wayne settles into his 'secret identity' as playboy Bruce Wayne, and adds more people to his team over the years: Dick Grayson, the first Teen Lantern and later member of the Titans and Green Lantern Corps; Barbara Gordon, now-Commissioner James Gordon's daughter; Jason Todd and Tim Drake, the second and third Teen Lanterns; Helena Bertinelli, the Huntress; Kate Kane, a.k.a. Power Ring; and others. Wayne's rogues gallery grows, and he fights the likes of the Riddler, Bane, Hector Hammond, Black Hand, and many others.
As of 2017, Wayne has left the League to oversee a new group of heroes -- the Outsiders (Metamorpho, Black Lightning, Green Lantern John Stewart, Katana, Halo). Sinestro is still out there, as is Star Sapphire.

(Also crossposted from AH dot com) Earth-44 is like Earth-Prime in a multitude of ways, including the fact that its superheroes (and supervillains) were limited to the realm of comics, movies, television, cartoons and other fictional venues. This left the planet as a target for evil forces throughout the multiverse who saw it ripe for the picking. The world's governments answered the only way they could, with military force. Sometimes, they won the day, sometimes they fought to a (bloody and devastating) standstill, sometimes they were routed. A young genius who nicknamed himself 'Doc Tornado' decided to apply his intellect towards creating his world's own superheroes, based on the Justice League cartoons he grew up watching and the comics he grew up reading. He managed to combine cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence to create seven robotic superheroes who could withstand any threat: Gold, based on Superman, with a power set including flight, super-strength, and a number of vision-based powers. (His super-steel skeletal structure also is a callback to Superman's nickname as 'Man of Steel') Iron, based on Batman, a Dark Knight inspired by Frank Miller and Bruce Timm Plantium, based on Wonder Woman. She's friendly (but platonic) towards Doc and always pushing him to get out and go on a date! Mercury, based on the Wally West Flash Hawkman, based on the pre-Crisis Katar Hol, constructed out of Nth metal that he 'borrowed' from a top-secret A.R.G.U.S. facility Tin, based on the Elongated Man, who also serves as the team's second-best detective Lead, based initially on Green Arrow, then on Martian Manhunter after Doc realized he wanted another Original Seven member and Oliver Queen's personality was ill-suited to this member of the Metal League. Lead was given some of Tin's malleability, which allows him limited shape-shifting ability. Doc's been tinkering with the AI to allow for some telepathy as well The Metal League helps the likes of the Supermarines, Task Force X and Checkmate defend Earth against threats foreign and domestic. ___________________________________________ One of the unnamed alternate Earths in Multiverse-3 can be best described as the " Holy Terror" universe. In the 17th century, a man named Oliver Cromwell overthrew the British monarchy and became Lord Protector of the British Isles. He died in 1670, living long enough to solidify the institution of the Commonwealth to survive his death. By the dawn of the 20th century, the sun would never set on Cromwell's worldwide Commonwealth, and the dawn of the 21st century saw the Commonwealth present in on all seven continents. In Gotham, North America, a young man named Bruce Wayne plans to enter the ministry. His world is rocked when James Gordon, the inquisitor who investigated the deaths of his parents, comes to tell him the truth: his parents were executed by the state. The Waynes treated enemies of the brutal dictatorship that controls North America -- gays and lesbians, prostitutes, women who tried to perform abortions on themselves -- and were executed as a result. Bruce verifies Gordon's account with an old friend of his parents, Dr. Charles McNider. Ignoring McNider's warning that no good would come from challenging the state, Wayne begins investigating to find out who ordered his parents' execution. He soon finds out it was the Star Chamber, the highest court in the Commonwealth government. He finds out where they actually meet, and in so doing also learns of a secret government testing facility. Bruce -- wearing a bat-like costume his father once wore in a passion play -- is shocked to find the extent of the state's brutality. From the Wikipedia article on the Batman: Holy Terror Elseworlds comic: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_Holy_TerrorHe (Bruce) helps free a man with super-speed named Barry Allen, and learns that the others are men and women who were unsuccessfully put through the same gene splicing process that gave Barry his speed abilities. The two are attacked by a witch converted to the state, a woman who pronounces spells backwards. The fight costs the life of one of the experimentees, and Barry is killed by the head scientist, Dr. Saul Erdel, who has developed a means of negating the protective aura that allowed Barry to run at superspeed without being destroyed by the friction. Erdel has another of his agents, a man named Matthew, with clay-like abilities, capture Bruce and bring him to see "Project Green Man". Project Green Man was an extraterrestrial child found in a rocket ship by a couple in Kansas, who was raised by the state and studied. The older he became, the stronger and more difficult to control he became, until they had to kill him with an irradiated rock they found in the rocket ship. Bruce is filled with an overwhelming sense of sadness when he sees this dead alien, as if the world's greatest hope was destroyed. Enraged, Bruce breaks free and attacks Erdel. Erdel tries to shoot at Bruce, but the bullets bounce off the alien's corpse and kills Erdel.
Once Bruce is done with the facility, he finds the actual Star Chamber location. He confronts a chamberman about his parents' deaths and demands to know who ordered their murders. He's told there's no records kept of how each member votes, in order to reinforce the idea of the state being the source of their power and influence. No individual or bloc can claim power -- the state has all the power. Since the state is all-powerful, Bruce vows to take down the state, even if it takes his entire life to do so. He continues to fight the state -- in the name of God -- as the Batman. He's already gathering a league of malcontents and outlaws to help him (Richard Grayson, Barbara Gordon, Oliver Queen, Dinah Lance, Harold Jordan, Katherine Kane, and John Constantine, among others); in turn, the government has formed a Task Force -- led by Lord Faraday and Lady Amanda Waller -- that will use enemies of the state to take down the Batman's league. |

The Metal League helps the likes of the Supermarines, Task Force X and Checkmate defend Earth against threats foreign and domestic. Task Force X does not also go by the name of Suicide Squad does it. |
