Hi there. I’m interested in DC cosmology and I think I have a rough understanding of it but I have some questions and figured asking them directly would be the best solution instead of skimming pages and trying to piece it together myself.
1. As far as I’m aware, the Overvoid is described as the “blank page” which upon stories are written. And then recently it’s been confirmed that the Overvoid and the Source are the same. The source is meant to be the light of god. When god spoke, “Let there be light,” the source grew onto the great darkness? So in the absolute beginning, it was the absolute creator and the great darkness. So overvoid = source = light of god? I’m not 100% sure if this is correct, but when the source came into existence, a flaw was found in it which was the DC verse. So existence and the verse was a mistake and not intentional? The Overvoid then sent dax novu to investigate it right? But my understanding of DC creation is that the source created the hands which are a species of beings that create multiverses. Perpetua being one of these hands. The source gave her the 7 forces of existence to create the multiverse. So here the source is actively creating existence but the Overvoid was shocked by the flaw of existence.
2. In vertigo, I may be wrong but existence was made through the angels lucifer, Michael and Gabriel. The presence made these 3 beings. The first in existence. Michael had the demiurgic power of raw creation. Lucifer’s will shaped it. Gabriel imposed form and pattern. How does this work with the story of the hands?
3. Mother night is the mother of the endless. But what is she exactly? She’s meant to be the nothingness before creation right? But isn’t that just the great darkness? Is she an avatar or aspect of it?
4. In vertigo, The presence admits that he was shaped by external forces. Does he mean the collective unconsciousness? If so, that means he was born in the dreaming and isn’t the true creator. If I recall correctly, I remember seeing a fan interview with one of the writers. Not sure who but they were asked if the Presence was beyond the collective unconsciousness and the writer said yes. So is the presence actually the creator?
5. I haven’t read the new flash comics but Wally encounters the arcangles and is chosen as a conduit to kill the deep change which is meant to be the originator of time. So is this an aspect of the source? Or something else? Also if the deep change is time. Then what is Father Time. He’s just useless now ain’t he? Also where does this scale Wally?
6. In vertigo, lucifer leaves creation and travels into the overvoid. Before this, the presence meets lucifer at the overvoid and the presence says “I’m happy to see you here. Outside of my plan.” This implies that all of existence was the presence’s plan. But if the overvoid is just gods light, then the overvoid is still gods plan. Lucifer hasn’t escaped anything really. So this insinuates that the Overvoid is not the plan of the presence. So what is the presence? Is he just an avatar of the actual creator? Is that what he means when “he’s shaped by external forces”?
I hope my questions made sense. I’ve lowkey just wrote these off the top of my head.
