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 Change, which is hinted as being the cause for all of these worlds coming together, 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", 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 via the phenomenon known as The Change, treating them as their 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 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 similar motives of destruction.
 * Coincidentally, the character also shares the exact same name with an overarching antagonist from the 2017 battle royale video game Fortnite.

The Change
The Change, also refered to as "the great dimensional cataclysm" in Reindog's biography, is a supernatural phenomenon caused by The Nothing that occurred in the game's story.

About
The Change 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, Shaggy's, Stripe's, and Gizmo's biographies from the official website. Stripe's biography in particular reveals the fact that The Change 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.

The Change's affect seems to be depicted in the Cinematic "You're With Me Trailer" 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 The Change, the Batcomputer seems to detect the golden aura and identifies it as a "strange energy signature".

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
According to Shaggy's biography, before The Change occurred, 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 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.
