The Burnsiverse is a team of alternate reality versions of Mr. Burns brought over by the main version and are the main antagonists of the second segment of Treehouse of Horror XXXI, Into the Homerverse.
History[]
When Homer meddles with a strange device he believed to be a vending machine, he accidentally creates a portal that allows five other versions of himself to come forth. They spend some time together, but upon learning that they would all eventually die if the alternates don't return home, they go back to the machine to repeat the same incident.
However, Mr. Burns appears with a gun in his hand, stating that he refuses to let them close the portal as it is the greatest source of cheap labor. Homer Noir rebuffs this by stating that they have him outnumbered, but Burns asks him to count again. The Homers turn around to see five alternate versions of Burns emerge from the portal. Burns also reveals that he brought five other versions of Smithers so that they can take notes.
Each member of the Burnsiverse defeats one of the Homerverse, and Burns congratulates them on their success. But then Noir Smithers reveals that his version of Burns is his sidekick instead of the other way around. This displeases Mr. Burns and he chooses to send all the alternate reality counterparts back to their respective universes. However, Marge ends up with Noir Homer, who then turns into Homer Barbera.
