In DC Comics, the Flashpoint event gave the mysterious character Pandora a central role in the 2011 storyline.
Pandora is a DC Comics character associated with the supernatural and with the consequences of altering reality. She first appeared in the buildup to the Flashpoint crossover and became an important figure in the New 52 publishing initiative that followed it.
Flashpoint centers on Barry Allen, the Flash, changing history after attempting to save his mother. The altered timeline produces a radically different world, and the story ends with major changes to DC’s fictional continuity. Pandora appears in the framing mythology surrounding those changes and is linked to the division and reshaping of the universe.
Her comic-book role is separate from the ancient Greek figure. DC borrowed the mythological name and imagery, but its Pandora is a modern fictional character with a distinct backstory, costume, and connection to the company’s multiverse.
