In a world where we have all become so obsessed with DC VS Marvel, there is a hero who can unite us all. His name is Axel Asher. Tasked with keeping these two competitive universes separate from each other, Axel has been overlooked for years. You are probably reading this article because you have never even heard of him before.
In the mid-90s, multiple crossovers between DC Comics and Marvel Comics were published. In the span of a few years, the two companies created a series of fights and team-ups between their iconic heroes, accompanied by the characters literally merging into an amalgamation of DC and Marvel’s universes.
But let’s take a bit of a look at what this character is all about.
Axel Asher, or better known as “Access” was born on another Earth in a different multiverse from New Earth. He first became aware of his extraordinary powers when the two cosmic entities called “The Brothers”, who represent the DC Universe and Marvel Universe, became aware of each other (as a result of the previous “crossover” events) and hurled their respective heroes into conflict with one another.
Axel was just an ordinary teenager living in New York on Earth-616 when he stumbled upon an old bum in an alley who protected what seemed to be a cardboard box but was actually a portal between the universes. He also learned that Axel was next in line to bear the powers and responsibilities of being “The Access”, the person responsible for preventing the universes from merging into one.
Access helped prevent Dr. Strangefate from re-merging the two universes; in the second, he discovered that the “old bum” was actually his own future self and that a variant version of himself had joined forces with Darkseid. He also discovered his powers were greater than he believed, and he absorbed all the knowledge and memories of every other universe.
But it wasn’t until Access’s encounter with The Flash (Barry Allen) in “Crisis on Infinite Earths” that we truly saw him come into his own as a hero. Barry was impressed by Axel’s abilities, but also wary of the potential consequences of using them. He convinced Axel to join forces and use their combined powers to stop the villainous Darkseid from destroying all of reality.
Access quickly proved himself to be an invaluable asset to the team, able to absorb knowledge and memories from every universe, as well as manipulate time and space. Together with Barry, they were able to prevent Darkseid’s destruction of the multiverse and restore order to it once again.
But Axel’s story doesn’t end there. In “The Multiverse War”, he was tasked by the Timekeeper (a being who controls time in the DC Universe) with preventing a rogue version of himself from destroying all of reality. He traveled through different versions of his own universe, using his powers to stop the rogue Access and prevent him from causing any more damage.
In “The Multiverse War”, Axel also discovered that he was not only able to absorb knowledge and memories but could also manipulate them as well. This allowed him to create a new reality where all of the universes existed in harmony, with no conflict between DC or Marvel.
Access’s story is one of hope and unity. He represents the idea that even though we may have different beliefs and preferences, we can still work together for the greater good. In a world where we are constantly being divided by our differences, Access serves as a reminder that there is always room for cooperation and understanding.
It’s important to note that Axel Asher, or “Access” has been overlooked for years because of his origins in another universe from New Earth. He was never meant to be a part of the DC Universe but rather an outsider who could help them when they needed it most. But now with the multiverse being more prevalent in comics and media, Access is becoming more recognized as a hero worthy of recognition.
In conclusion, Axel Asher, or “Access” is a character that has been overlooked for years but deserves to be recognized as a true hero. He represents unity and cooperation between two rival universes, and his story serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we can work together towards a better future. With the rise of the multiverse, Access is becoming more important than ever before, and it’s time for him to take his rightful place among the pantheon of heroes.
