[[The DCU]] released [[Crisis on Infinite Earths]] in 1985, a [[Crisis Crossover]] that created the [[Post-Crisis]] universe that removed [[The Silver Age of Comic Books|the Silver Age's]] [[Shoo Out the Clowns|excesses]], in an attempt to make the stories more serious and plausible now given the opportunity to do so. [[Jim Shooter]] tried to mirror a move to realistic seriousness in [[Marvel Comics]] with [[The New Universe]] imprint, but this did not have good critical reaction at the time and thus Marvel would have to try again later, but they did put in their effort, the [[New Mutants]], as a part of the cultural atmosphere of the time, but this was not nearly as ground breaking of an effort as [[The New Universe]] was.
