Omniverse in Popular Culture

The term "omniverse" has recently been used in a verse within the children-aimed song "One everything" by music group They Might Be Giants in their album Here Come the 123s. The verse states:

"We share the same omniverse,

Please clean your room,

We share the same omniverse,

And even though you are over here and not there,

There's just one everywhere"

"Omniverse" appears on an album from Niyorah, a reggae artist, called A Different Age. The song is "A Perfect Timing". He sings:

"We're not only of Earth,

We're of the omniverse,

My blood is in the cosmic...

The sky, the sea, the dirt,

The sun and all it's worth,

Impossible to stop it..."

"My Omniverse" is the title of a song by The Jokerr, from his debut album "Welcome to the Show". The chorus goes:

"In the wayward shadows we find comfort

This is my omniverse, this is my omniverse

With the cosmic caverns finally ventured

This is my omniverse, visit my omniverse"

"Omniverse" is often referenced and discussed throughout writings and music by recording artist R.D. Peoples.

It is also the main topic in the 'Hardstyle' song, Omniverse, by Scope DJ.

The name Omniverse was used for an early-1980s semi-professional comic book fan magazine which explored the ramifications of the DC Comics and Marvel Comics combined Multiverses (see DC Multiverse, Marvel Multiverse). It was also seen in Image Comics as a level of reality that encompasses all multiverses which was visited a group of heroes from their fracturing respective universe during their battle with Entropy.

Originally according to The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe 2004, "the omniverse is the collection of every single universe, multiverse, dimension (alternate or pocket) and realm. This includes not only Marvel Comics, but also DC Comics, Image, Dark Horse, Archie, TMNT, Harvey, and every universe ever mentioned or seen (and an infinite amount never mentioned or seen) including our own world. Everything is in the Omniverse, and there is only one Omniverse." According to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes, "It includes every single literary, television show, movie, urban legend, universe, realm, etc. ever". Indeed it does include everyone, from Hobbes (from Calvin and Hobbes) to Stewie Griffin to Homer Simpson to Popeye to Rocky Balboa to Ronald Reagan to Romeo and Juliet to Luke Skywalker to Snoopy to Jay and Silent Bob to Mickey Mouse to Harry Potter to Spider-Woman to Green Arrow to Jason Voorhees to Beavis and Butt-Head to the Animaniacs, etc. The omniverse is very popular among fanfiction as it can create any crossover imaginable. Using the omniverse to make a universe that is inhabited by completely unrelated properties (Wolverine and Raphael, or Spider-Man and Artemis Fowl, for example) is fairly common as is crossing from 616 and another world (commonly DC and Marvel).

In the various Star Trek Series featuring the Character Q, Q has made mention of the omniverse on more than one occasion.
