I only drift in and out of reading the main DC/Marvel continuities (Hickman is a huge draw), but how many of the 52 universes shown (sans the 7) were pre-existent? Because I feel like very many of them were just boring heroic iterations. I know Morrison likes optimistic superheroes, so he doesn't have a reason to imagine 'gritty' universes, but I like those settings and it forecloses any kind of Wildstorm type spinoffs.

Based on the list Evil Mastermind made on the last page, plenty of them draw from pre-existing sources.

I tried checking previous pages for this, but anyone got an idea on why Intellectron's speech renders certain words in a certain way? "You" becomes "YU", "to" becomes "2", "your" becomes "yr" - though going back to the very first issue, there's a Gentry speech bubble that states "CHOOSE YOUR WEAPONS, NIX UOTAN!", breaking the your->yr scheme.

I'm pretty sure he's done that before, I remember "I SEE YU" popping up in one or more of his past works, though I can't remember which. Maybe he's just fond of using that to signify an utterly alien enemy that is only barely comprehensible.

Notably, all the examples you give are missing the letter "O." Coincidence, or are Grant's cosmic threats taunting the humans they're addressing by denying any concept of "infinity" to them? No eternal soul, we all die alone and screaming.

I noticed that, but I ended up interpreting it more simply as a denial of a cycle rather than as infinity.
