'earth 16' is comic book jargon for a specific alternate universe earth. for example Earth-1 and -2 are where the Golden and Silver Age DC Comics heroes reside and Earth-Prime is used to represent the real, actual universe that we live in. for the sake of everyone's sanity i'm not going to go into Crisis on Infinite Earths or the 52 and just leave this description as-is.
