Star Trek Multiverse, explained

Star Trek and Multiverses return to the beginning of the franchise

Multiverses are not a new concept in comics, their roots go back to DC Comics in the early 1960s. and Star Trekwhich debuted in 1966, also adopted the idea from the beginning. In the season two episode “Mirror, Mirror,” Kirk and company find themselves in the Mirror Universe, populated by evil variants of themselves. In the shows and media that followed, there were numerous forays back and forth into the Mirror Universe, setting a precedent for multiversal travel. Philippa Georgiou, head of Section 31, was the former head of the Mirror Universe’s Terran Empire.

Now, at a time when the general public is adapting to the notion of multiverses, Star Trek is leaning into the idea even more. In 2009, JJ Abrams introduced fans to the Kelvin Universe in his Star Trek restart the movie. The Kelvin Universe boasted a younger crew and more advanced-looking technology. Other Star Trek episodes, from across the franchise, involved forms of travel through the multiverse. In the episode “Parallels”, shown on Star Trek: The Next Generation In the seventh season, Worf travels through several different realities, some of them quite dark. Star TrekThe multiverse is large and full of potential.
