Earth-K
Earth-K was the code-name of a version of the planet Earth in one reality, which was often known as “Earth-K” itself for short.
It was home to superhero Max Atom, who took part in the multiversal Indefinite Crisis of the Universe. He had a daughter called Anna Atom, who inherited his powers; drifting apart in ethical opinions over a number of years, the two eventually came to blow, only for their usage of their full, nuclear-fueled powers to create a rift which hurled the two of them through a transdimensional maelstrom to Reality Z-25 31-H.
