Cosmic Inbalance: Story of the Sentinent Stellar Stones

Despite a variety of reality altering events throughout history, and specifically during the middle to latter half of the 20th century, the first occasion wherein Mallo the Cosmic Balancer intervened in his native reality and its cosmic twin was in 1981. This enigmatic entity deemed it necessary to intervene in the events of humanity, as he perceived an inbalance in his own reality of Earth-Two as well as its closest cosmic kin, that of Earth-One.

Specifically, upon analyzing the various superhumans populating both worlds, most costumed crusaders had correlating counterparts with compatiable capabilities. This included the Supermen, the Flashes, the Green Lanterns, and the Hawkmen... despite the fact that, aside from the Hawkmen, each doppleganger derived his powers from a separate power source. For Superman-One, it was a yellow sun and lighter gravity. For Superman-Two, it was genetic adaptation to his native Krypton. For Flash-One, it was immersion lightning charges chemics. For Flash-Two, it was by inhaling hard water fumes. For Green Lanterns One and Two, it was the specific types of green plasma compatiable with each of their universes.

Then there was the twin Tiny Titans, the Atoms also known as Ray Palmer and Al Pratt. While Al of Earth-Two possessed superstrength from Tholium radiation, Ray of Earth-One possessed size-changing abilities from a sentinent White Dwarf Star fragment. Tholium existed on both worlds, however the fragment was specific to Earth-One. Other techniques for shrinking, employed by Doctor Mid-Nite and Brain Wave, used magnetic contraction of atomic particles.

The reason Mallo intervened at this point, rather than years or even centuries earlier, is because the doppelgänger of the White Dwarf Star Core fragment was the fragment of the Green Flame Starheart meteor which crashlanded at the same time a dimension away. However, while the Dwarf Star plunged onto the area that would become Ivy Town in the North American continent of Earth-One, the sentient Starheart plunged onto the Earth-Two continent of Asia near a future Chinese village.

And in 1979, the alien entity named Zalaz stole the Starheart globe from the star which it resided within.* Bringing it to the Earth-One universe, its radiation was emitted from the globe throughout that reality. To balance this out, comparable (if compacted amount of) white dwarf** radiation was pulled from Ray Palmer’s equipment and transmitted into Al Pratt’s on Earth-Two***.

* Because the chaotic Green Flame energy, projected from Earth-One's universe by the Guardians of that Universe into Earth-Two's reality, was entombed within the star deemed the Starheart, that star never condensed into a white dwarf star as had its doppelgänger which powered Ray Palmer's costume

** The sun which Zalaz and his love M’La’s planet once orbited around eventually became the condensed white dwarf which plummeted to Earth-One. That sun’s counterpart in the Earth-Two universe was the star within which the Green Flame Starheart resided. Other such meteors on parallel planets such as on Earth-S originated from that same star in Earth-Two's  universe.
