History
Origin
The Crisis on Infinite Earths was a reality-changing series of events centered around the efforts of the Anti-Monitor to destroy the matter multiverse and thus attain ultimate power. In the wake of the event (later known as simply "the Crisis"), thousands of universes, and all the people and things within them, were erased, and many heroes and villains from the worlds that survived were wounded, irrevocably changed or outright slain.
The Monitor came to sense the coming crisis growing near and dispatched Harbinger to recruit various heroes from across the Multiverse to help fight it. (Crisis on Infinite Earths v1 #1)
Due to the actions of the Anti-Monitor, the cosmic being had created an anti-matter wave that was consuming the Multiverse. Earth-3 was among the worlds impacted by the wave with Dr. Alexander Luthor and Lois Lane sending their new born son Alexander Luthor Jr. in a rocket ship into the wider Multiverse so that he could survive the destruction of his world. (Crisis on Infinite Earths v1 #1)
With the coming crisis, the Monitor decided that he needed heroes to aid him and had Harbinger separate herself into various replicants that went across the Muliverse to recruit champions to combat the threat. (Crisis on Infinite Earths v1 #1)
In the end, the remaining five universes- Earth-1, Earth-2, Earth-4, Earth-S and Earth-X- were merged into a single reality ("Earth-Sigma") with a fixed past and future (or so was said), and the Anti-Monitor himself finally destroyed.

Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events.
