Thanos, the Mad Titan sat upon his throne orbiting near the earth. The sadistic eternal cast his cold gaze on the sparkling stars around him, with but a mere squeeze of the Infinity Gauntlet adorning his right hand he could wipe out entire civilizations. He could reshape evolution on a planet and reshape it within his own image, but that wasn't enough for this power hungry fiend. He wanted to crush his opposition. He wanted to squeeze the very light of hope from their eyes and yet at every turn he had been thwarted, humbled. Though he would never utter such a word, he was even humiliated by the planet Earth.
It was in this moment something strange occurred. A foreign sensation overwhelmed him as though a brand new experience was appearing out of thin and sure enough within moments a peculiar little man would materialize in the air before him. He resembled a man in his twilight years with a small hat upon his head and a cigar in his mouth, he looked human and yet not all at once.
"Who da-.."
Before Thanos could even get the words out the smaller creature was already blowing a giant ring of cigar smoke into his face.
"Woah now, purple. Don't blow a gasket. Mxyzptlk is the name. Mister Mxyzptlk to be precise. Make sure you get it right, alright? I don't want your backwater dimensions bad manners ruffling my suit."
He spoke so freely towards Thanos. No fear whatsoever, he was making a fool out of the titan.
"Do you know who you are even addressing you pathetic whelp? Let the last words you hear haunt your very pitiful soul, I am Thanos and you, you are a CORPSE!"
He rose that right hand expecting his Infinity Gauntlet to make short work of the annoying creature only to find the gems were no where to be found upon the gauntlet. What in the world..? That's when he saw it, this creature..this..this THING was JUGGLING the Infinity Gems right infront of his very eyes!
"Yeah yeah, I'm sure you're really a hit around these parts with your magic gems, chief. Though if you don't pay attention someones gonna go take 'em to a pawn shop and make twenty bucks. As I was saying, Mister Mxyzptlk is the name and I don't even know how I got here. That dolt Superman got me to say my name backwards and poof here I was in the boonies. Oho! That means I'm not imprisoned though! I can head back to my dimension, easy peasy! Here. Take your rocks back, I'm outta here!"
Mxyzptlk disappeared from sight for a moment and the Infinity Gems were right back upon the Infinity Gauntlet as though they were never removed to begin with, though Thanos knew that wasn't the case. The humiliation he felt struck him down to his very core. He wasn't going to let this situation go, oh no. Not by a longshot. That pathetic creature seemed to doubt the sheer strength of the Infinity Gauntlet and Thanos was going to bring it knocking on his very door!
"Infinity Gauntlet, using your sheer power I demand you reshape the dimensions as I see fit! This reality is in long need of an overhaul and who better to bring about great change than a God himself?!"
Pushing himself from his Throne, Thanos would stand on that pile of gravitating rock and thrust the Infinity Gauntlet adorning his hand above himself, all the gems radiating their respective colors and ready to make the Mad Titan's desires a reality, a reality in which no one would be prepared for.
"Bring forth both realms of existence together! Our own and this pathetic creature who just humiliated me and this Super Man's own realm and merge the two as one! Make it a galaxy who knows the name of Thanos as their absolute ruler! All but the so-called heroes or villians that would stand in my path! Let them retain memories of their original world and let them come! No matter what they try I promise to crush the very light of hope from each and every one of their very souls!"
Once the order was issued a bright light erupted from the gems of the Infinity Gauntlet and for a long time? Nothing. It was just black, nobody could open their eyes. Nobody knew what was going on, but you. The hero, the villain? Whatever you may call yourself. You finally awoke and realized something was wrong. The Earth that you knew? Gone. It had become something different, something greater and yet something more dangerous all at once. How things go from here are up to you as the roleplayer, Thanos is no where in sight according to anyones intel but this new realm of existence seemed to be here to stay. What will you do to survive within it?
[Author aside; to accommodate both Earth's having formed into one there are a few things to note. The Earth is twice as large as it was normally to be able to fit all the cities and places the original dimensions may have held so you can still go to Gotham City and the Batcave as well as you could the Avengers Tower in Manhattan.
Due to the way Thanos phrased the change the Reality Gem created this means roleplayers themselves won't automatically know those from a dimension they aren't familiar with and will have to discover that via roleplay.
This means you don't automatically know Superman has a weakness to kryptonite for instance, however because the civilian populace was brought to know and fear the name Thanos, they are under the assumption this is the only reality they have ever known so the internet and media news sources will report things that you as roleplayers might not be aware of.
