multiversal
Spanning parallel universes
Multiversal describes something relating to or spanning multiple universes, especially in fiction where parallel realities coexist.
The term gained currency through comic books and science fiction, where characters travel between alternate versions of reality or encounter variants of themselves.
The multiversal storyline brought together heroes from different Earths.
In theoretical physics, multiversal may describe hypotheses involving multiple universes, though such usage remains speculative.
