8 Definitions

Universe

For Universe we have terms and definitions in 8 topics. The topics are Astrology, Astronomy, Comic Books, Direct Marketing, Interactive Marketing, Marketing, Physical Geography and Politics.



Universe (Astrology)

In modern times, the entirety of the space-time continuum in which we live, including all matter and energy, planets, stars, atoms, things, thoughts and beings.


Universe (Astronomy)

The sum total of all existing things.


Universe (Comic Books)

DC Comics' universe, or "DCU", is actually many universes, lumped under a single heading for the sake of brevity. History and continuity in the DCU is unique, in that DC heroes (and DCU events) don't co-exist with heroes (and events) that have different publishers (Marvel, Image, etc). Wonder Woman doesn't exist in the "Marvel Universe," for example. The word "universe" is often used interchangeably with "dimension" or "reality," though each noun can mean different things in proper context.
Variant: A "variant" figure is a DCD hero who has been manufactured in at least two different forms. The idea is broad enough to include multi-age (GA, SA, etc) versions of single characters (such as Wonder Woman), but "variant" usually refers to specific DCD figures that were sold with that label (like the golden-armored WW variant). The actual physical differences between most "standard" and "variant" DCD figures are generally cosmetic, and/or different accessories are included.


Universe (Direct Marketing)

Universe (Interactive Marketing)
