MultiVersus/Plot

This sub-page documents all known information regarding the game's upcoming story.

While the story for the game has yet to be fully revealed, certain paragraphs from the Official Biographies for the Fighters found on the website reveal the enigmatic Nothing as being the main villain of the story. There are also mentions of a cataclysmic event known as The Great Dimensional Cataclysm, as well as of a mysterious crystal that granted Shaggy his superhuman abilities. Reindog's backstory also reveals that he was the Royal Guardian of the Zanifeer family before their world was destroyed by the Nothing, as well as the "6th wearer of the gem of power". Trophy's E.D.G.E.'s existence and why it is full of elements from other worlds, referred to as "Trophies" inside the game's files, has yet to be explained as well.

The Nothing
The Nothing is an upcoming non-playable character, as well as the supposed main antagonist of MultiVersus.

Origin
The Nothing is an original character made specifically for MultiVersus. Very little is known about this character, as the only known information regarding him has been made public via Reindog's, Tom & Jerry's, and LeBron James' biographies from the official website.

The Nothing appears to be an omnipotent being who can travel across various Universes, stealing people and objects from wherever he goes. While his intentions are currently unknown, he's hinted at being a malevolent entity bent on the destruction of the entire Multiverse.

It is also implied that the various cameo objects seen on Trophy's E.D.G.E. have been gathered there by The Nothing itself, treating them as its own "trophies". This could also imply that the very existence of Trophy's E.D.G.E. (and Trophy's E.D.G.E. 2) has been caused by The Nothing.

Trivia

 * A popular theory among the MultiVersus community is that The Nothing could be the same character as the main antagonist of the 1979 German fantasy novel The NeverEnding Story and its 1984 movie adaptation made by Warner Bros., since, outside of the fact that both characters share the same name and hail from a WBD-owned property, both characters seem to share similar motives of destruction.
 * Nothing?.png's Gameplay Trailer.]]Some people theorize that the cosmos-like black blast zone that surrounds every Map could be interpreted as The Nothing itself, slowly consuming each fictional world due to humanity losing its passion in them, with Zanifeer being the first to be consumed likely because nobody had heard of it before.
 * Coincidentally, the character also shares the exact same name with an overarching antagonist from the 2017 battle royale video game Fortnite.

The Great Dimensional Cataclysm
The Great Dimensional Cataclysm is a supernatural phenomenon that was possibly caused by The Nothing which occurred in the game's story.

About
The Great Dimensional Cataclysm is a dimensional phenomenon that caused the destruction of Zanifeer, Reindog's homeworld, and the merging of all other Universes. It is only mentioned in Reindog's biography from the official website.

Zanifeer
The world of a Zanifeer is described as being "one of the first to fall victim to the Nothing during the great dimensional cataclysm" on Reindog's biography.

This Universe served as the homeworld of Reindog and his family, "the Zanifeer royal family", to whom he acted as a Royal Guardian to. The family also possessed a heart-shaped magical artifact known as the gem of power, which is currently in the possession of Reindog, its 6th wearer.

The only current mentions of Zanifeer in-game is in the Zanifeer's Last Hope and Heart of Zanifeer Banners.

Shaggy's Strange Glowing Crystal and "The Change"
According to Shaggy's biography, sometime before being summoned on Trophy's E.D.G.E., he ate a "strange glowing crystal" he and Scooby-Doo found while exploring a spooky old mansion (probably Scooby's Haunted Mansion), thinking it was rock candy. The candy gave Shaggy incredible powers in a process simply known as "The Change" before he passed out.

Trivia

 * It is very possible that the crystal Shaggy ate was a Gleamium gem, as they somewhat resemble rock candy, but this theory has yet to be confirmed.
 * On January 13th, 2023, Tony Huynh, the CEO and CoFounder of Player First Games, retweeted someone's post regarding this theory on Twitter, giving it more credibility.

Heroes Convergence
Heroes Convergence is the fanmade title given to a supernatural phenomenon that occurred in the game's story.

About
A phenomenon only mentioned in Shaggy's, Stripe's, and Gizmo's biographies from the official website, as well as various commercial trailer for the game, "Heroes Convergence" refers to the phenomenon that brought together all the Fighters. This phenomenon seems to be depicted in the Cinematic "You're With Me!" Trailer. In said trailer, multiple Fighters live their lives as usual before being engulfed by a golden aura and getting teleported to Trophy's E.D.G.E.. Before Batman gets affected by this phenomenon, the Batcomputer seems to detect the golden aura and identifies it as a "strange energy signature". Their fights are also portrayed as being caused by a misunderstanding at first, between deciding to work together in order to stop The Nothing. Gizmo's biography also seems to imply that whoever caused this phenomenon was doing so in order to gather enough allies and stop The Nothing.

Stripe's biography also reveals the fact that the "Heroes Convergence" phenomenon can also pull characters and objects from various points of times from an Universe's timeline, as Stripe was specifically pulled from his Universe right before being killed by Gizmo, and other characters can follow them through the golden aura, as Gizmo was stated to do in his official biography. While it is unknown how some Fighters that either weren't present in the "You're With Me!" trailer or don't have any reference to this phenomenon in their official biographies ended up getting "pulled into the battle for the Multiverse", Rick is implied to have gotten himself involved by his own volition (possibly after Morty was pulled from their universe), as seen in his reveal trailer, where he enters Trophy's E.D.G.E. via one of his portals and stops a fight between Reindog and Wonder Woman.
