All Myths Are True: Difference between revisions

* In the [[DC Universe]], even if you just look at the Marvel Family, you've got [[Shazam|Captain Marvel ]] whose powers come from Solomon and a selection of Greek and Roman figures, as well as his rival, Black Adam who gets HIS powers from the Egyptian pantheon. Both collections of myths spell out "SHAZAM", so they both have the same magic transformation word.

* [[Word of God]] says ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'' deliberately plays on this.

* Debatable as to whether this counts but ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'' basically told us two things;

** '''1''', Everything you've ever heard about [[Superman]] is true. All the different contradictory stories about [[Batman]], they're all true. The "Imaginary Stories" and "Elseworld" comics, they all happened. The [[Tim Burton]] [[Batman (film)|version]] [[Batman Returns|of Batman]], the [[Joel Schumacher]] [[Batman Forever|version]] [[Batman and Robin (film)|of Batman]]. The [[Christopher Nolan]] [[The Dark Knight Saga|version of Batman]], the [[Adam West]] [[Batman (TV series)|version of Batman]], they all exist and they're all just as real as each-other. Every single alternate version of any character or any story that contradicts anything else in DC Comics, It's ALL true. And here's a list of the different universes each one happened in...

* Possibly to [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]]-levels in ''[[Digger]]''.

{{quote| '''Ganesh:''' The Earth is so old, and home to so many strange things, that there is hardly an inch of ground that was never home to a shrine, or a god, or a battle, or some magical oddity. Even under the ground, you yourself have said, there are old gods, old prophecies, old lost things. It is not odd that this {{spoiler|bound god}} should be here, in this place. If anything, it is odd that we are not constantly hip-deep in such magical echoes of the past.}}

** To be fair, this is a fairly solid theme in [[Neil Gaiman]]'s ''anything''.

** The Sandman series even basically gives the trope a deliberate nod when one character observes that "A thing need not have happened in order to be true."
