A couple of questions...

Did Kingdom and 1,000,000 really happen? Or was Superman's reality being warped by Dominus?

How much since the end of the electro Superman has been 'real' and what has not? I am just curious as to what everyone else thinks.

With this Hypertime thing, who knows now what has been in what reality? In which universe do the DC-Marvel crossovers (such as the recent Superman/Fantastic Four) take place? If Superboy is bouncing around in Hypertime, how is he helping shut down Superman's robots?

I find it much easier to not think about such things and just read the books and let it go.

From the Dark, Damp and Noisy World of Tony Caroselli:

As a general rule of thumb, I usually take EVERYTHING as 'really happening' unless the writers specifically say otherwise in the published story or subesquent published stories. Since Superman wasn't the only one to react to both THE KINGDOM and DC ONE MILLION, I'd say it's safe to assume Dominus played no part in either of them. The only events Dominus warped happened directly before and directly after those two crossovers.

Again, unless the writers say otherwise, it happened in the DC Universe 'reality.'

This is trickier, but given that nothing in SUPERMAN/FANTASTIC FOUR explicitly contradicted anything in the DC Universe or Marvel continuities, I'll accept it as having 'taken place' in both 'realities' unless I hear otherwise.

Simple. As with all other inconsistencies along these lines, you have to remember that two books released on the same week (or in the same month) don't necessarily take place at the same time. Either the events of KING OF THE WORLD happened after the events of the current SUPERBOY series or vice-versa.

Agreed. It's nice for academic discussions, but you shouldn't let it get in your way when you're reading the story.

Of course not. They're comic book stories.

But yes, they are part of continuity.
