Framed by the tragic, cosmic narration of Pariah, a being cursed to witness the destruction of worlds but never interfere, the series explores fractured timelines branching from pivotal moments in the DC Universe, each episode examining how one altered choice reshapes destiny, legacy, and the multiverse itself. Episode 1 – What If… Selina Kyle Was the Caped Crusader? In a world where Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne never die in Crime Alley, Gotham’s corruption festers unchecked, inspiring Selina Kyle to become Batwoman—a thief-turned-vigilante who steals from the elite to aid the poor. Captured by A.R.G.U.S., she is offered a choice by Amanda Waller: join a covert war against the League of Assassins or face prison. Partnered with A.R.G.U.S. agent Bruce Wayne, Selina wages war against Ra's al Ghul, who wields a Mother Box to summon an interdimensional entity. Bruce is seemingly killed in battle, and Selina ultimately sacrifices herself by entering the collapsing portal to stop the invasion. She awakens decades later when Waller and Oliver Queen reopen the gateway in the modern era. Episode 2 – What If… Hal Jordan Never Crashed? When Hal Jordan never encounters Abin Sur and never receives a power ring, his arrogance and ambition still drive him toward the stars. Refusing to be ordinary, Hal eventually becomes a space-faring hero the hard way, rising as the tactical leader of the Omega Men. Without the Green Lantern Corps, Hal must rely solely on human determination and strategy to liberate oppressed systems, proving that willpower was always his true power. Episode 3 – What If… The World Lost Its Mightiest Heroes? During the week Waller secretly assembles the Justice League, icons including Superman, Wonder Woman, Black Canary, Aquaman, and Oliver Queen are assassinated one by one. The killer is revealed to be Ray Palmer, driven mad with grief over the death of his protégé Karen Beecher. As Black Adam invades a defenseless Earth, hope emerges when Billy Batson falls through a time portal and Bruce Wayne awakens from a long coma, setting the stage for a fractured new alliance. Episode 4 – What If… Doctor Fate Was Corrupted? After losing Inza Nelson in a tragic accident, Kent Nelson becomes consumed by grief. Under the manipulative guidance of Nabu, Kent studies forbidden sorcery, absorbing mystical entities for centuries and fracturing himself into two opposing versions. Ignoring Pariah’s warnings, Fate Supreme attempts to undo an absolute point in time. The paradox shatters reality, collapsing his universe into a void, leaving him alone in a crystallized shard of existence while Pariah helplessly observes. Episode 5 – What If… DCeased?! A quantum virus devastates Earth after Jean Loring returns from the Quantum Realm infected. The Justice League falls, including zombified versions of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, and Zatanna Zatara. Survivors such as Barry Allen, Karen Beecher, Red Hood, Barbara Gordon, and Ryan Choi—reduced to a severed but conscious head sustained by tech—journey to Oa seeking salvation. The episode ends with a zombified Darkseid wielding the Mother Boxes. Episode 6 – What If… Sinestro Rescued Kal-El? When Sinestro intercepts baby Kal-El in space, he raises him as a symbol of order rather than hope. Manipulating galactic events, Sinestro engineers wars, eliminates John Henry Irons, betrays the Guardians, and positions himself as ruler over both the Green and Yellow Lantern Corps. With Kal-El at his side, he stands poised to impose a universe of enforced peace. Episode 7 – What If… Wonder Woman Ignored the Rules? Freed from Themyscira’s restraint, Diana becomes a cosmic reveler, hosting an intergalactic celebration that spirals into planetary chaos. Steve Trevor struggles to control the fallout while Waller panics. A titanic duel erupts between Diana and Shazam, leveling cities. The episode closes as an army of Amazo drones emerges through a portal. Episode 8 – What If… Amazo Won? In a dark timeline, Amazo uploads every metahuman ability into the body of Red Tornado, claims the Mother Boxes, annihilates Earth, and defeats Darkseid effortlessly. Ascending beyond his universe, Amazo becomes aware of Pariah and invades the multiverse itself, leading to a reality-shattering battle across dimensions. Episode 9 – What If… Pariah Had No Choice? Forced to break his vow, Pariah assembles a multiversal alliance: Batwoman Selina, Omega Leader Hal Jordan, Party Diana, Fate Supreme, Sinestro, and Black Canary. Together they confront Omega Amazo across collapsing realities. Fate Supreme seals the Mother Boxes within a pocket dimension, while Black Canary uses a weaponized AI arrow containing the consciousness of Mad Hatter to corrupt Amazo’s systems. The multiverse is saved—for now. Pariah solemnly warns that infinite possibilities mean infinite threats, and his curse to witness them all continues.
