She excuse that during a Crisis event , the multiverse actuate its immune system : superheroes . The benchmark for this unprecedented effort is the landmarkCrisis on Infinite Earthsevent that reshaped the DC Universe forever . However , during the eventFinal Crisis , it was also discover thatSuperman is the archetype for the ultimate zep . Combined , these two revelations make it clear he is the pattern for how the multiverse has expressed its immune scheme across every reality .
