Earth-2023 was born in the aftermath of the Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths. The multiverse had been saved, but at great cost. Many worlds had been lost, and the remaining ones were forever changed. But from the ashes of destruction, a new world emer...

As the Flash and Static Shock fought off the criminals that had infiltrated the Flash Museum, they moved in perfect unison, almost as if they were telepathically linked. Eric, the Flash, was lightning-fast and efficient in his movements, while Virgil, Static Shock, used his electromagnetic powers to shock and disarm the villains.
As they stood victorious, the two heroes shared a brief nod of acknowledgement, knowing that their partnership had only grown stronger with each mission. They had become known as the Central City Crusaders, a duo that had vowed to keep their city safe from all harm.
As they strolled down the street, both heroes enjoyed a steaming cup of coffee, relishing the warmth and the caffeine. The conversation flowed easily, as they talked about the mission and the criminals they had fought. But their talk soon turned to the future, and their desire to bring more heroes into the fold.
"We need more fresh blood," Eric said, taking a sip of his coffee. "We can't do this alone forever."
"I agree," Virgil replied. "But we can't just pick anyone. They need to have the same drive and dedication as us."
The two heroes discussed their recruitment strategy, tossing around names and ideas. They knew that it would be a challenge to find the right people, but they were determined to make it happen.
"We can't afford to wait too long," Eric said, his voice serious. "We need to act fast, before something worse happens."
Virgil nodded, understanding the urgency in his partner's voice. They had seen too much devastation and destruction, and they knew that they couldn't keep fighting alone. They needed a team of like-minded individuals who shared their passion for justice.
With their mission clear, the Central City Crusaders finished their coffee and went their separate ways, ready to continue the fight for a safer, better city.
The Central City Crusaders were patrolling the streets, on the lookout for any signs of trouble, when they stumbled upon a new foe. Solomon Grundy, a massive and hulking creature, loomed in the distance. The two heroes shared a knowing look, and charged towards the monster, ready to take it down.
But this was no ordinary fight. Solomon Grundy was a formidable opponent, and the two heroes found themselves struggling to keep up. Eric moved at lightning speed, dodging the brute's massive blows, while Virgil used his electric powers to try and weaken their foe. But it was all in vain.
Solomon Grundy was too strong, and with one swift blow, he knocked Virgil unconscious. Eric watched in horror as his friend fell to the ground, barely breathing. The hulking creature let out a bellowing laugh, knowing that it had won.
With a heavy heart, Eric took Virgil to the hospital, knowing that he had to act fast to save his friend's life. The doctors did everything they could, but it was no use. Virgil had fallen into a deep coma, and it was unclear whether he would ever wake up.
