1. Kukkonen discusses the creation of multiverses in superherocomics. What reason do they offer for this phenomenon? Why do multiverses appeal to readers, and why have they become afallback for writers, even more than the shared universe? Whyare audiences so interested in What Ifs and Spider-Verses and otheralternate versions of established characters? How does themultiverse force us to think in new ways? How do variationsforce us to rethink our relationships with characters, and byextension, the world at large? What is the purpose ofconsideration alternative histories, parallel realities, anddiverging timelines, and why do humans do so very much of it?
