The following information is about Universe.
Universe Defined
DC Comics' universe, or "DCU", is actually many universes, lumped under a single heading for the sake of brevity. History and continuity in the DCU is unique, in that DC heroes (and DCU events) don't co-exist with heroes (and events) that have different publishers (Marvel, Image, etc). Wonder Woman doesn't exist in the "Marvel Universe," for example. The word "universe" is often used interchangeably with "dimension" or "reality," though each noun can mean different things in proper context.
Variant: A "variant" figure is a DCD hero who has been manufactured in at least two different forms. The idea is broad enough to include multi-age (GA, SA, etc) versions of single characters (such as Wonder Woman), but "variant" usually refers to specific DCD figures that were sold with that label (like the golden-armored WW variant). The actual physical differences between most "standard" and "variant" DCD figures are generally cosmetic, and/or different accessories are included.
This definition is in context to Comic Books. See more contextual defintions for Universe.
