While Detective Comics (established 1934) might not have been the first comicbook publisher, it did publish the first superhero (1938). In addition to Superman, it is host to some of the genre's finest characters including Batman and Wonderwoman.

History

The concept of a shared universe was originally pioneered by DC Comics. The fact that DC characters coexisted in the same world was first established in All Star Comics]] (1940) where several superheroes (who starred in separate stories in the series up to that point) met each other, and soon founded the superhero team, the Justice Society of America.

Description

The basic concept of the Keeferverse is that it is just like the real world, including some heretofore unknown superheroes and supervillains.

Aliens

The Keeferverse has not yet included interaction with extraterrestrial aliens. It is acknowledged as a mathematical likelihood that they do exist, but that technology, astronomic distances, and the Laws of Physics do not allow for our world to have come into contact with any others through normal space. Until and unless the finest minds that Earth has to offer prove otherwise, neither Martians nor Alpha Centaurians exist. This does not, however, preclude transdimensional travel and it is supposed that one day it might be discovered that there are aliens among us.

Supernatural creatures

Many of the creations of the Keeferverse have origins that defy explanation. Others quite plainly state that they are of divine (or diabolical) origin. It is known to contemporary science that other dimensions do exist and it is from these other dimensions that some characters in the Keeferverse are presumed to have come.

Time Stream

All Keeferman stories are presumed, unless otherwise specified, to be taking place in real time in the immediate present.
