You see, my friends, even God is entitled to a do-over. And what is Columbia if not another Ark, for another time?
Comstock has received " a prophecy that it is his 'seed' that will essentially bring about the next apocalypse by raining fire on the land below and having Columbia serve as the next 'ark' ".
Booker DeWitt has seen this event in a dream New York in flames and has actually seen it when an older Elizabeth from an alternate universe where Booker failed to rescue her showed it to him.
The older Elizabeth in that alternate universe was broken by prolonged capture and hopelessness because Booker failed to rescue her, that she gave in to that universe's Comstock's indoctrination.
Comstock doesn't want Booker to stop this "prophecy" of his from happening. What a lot of people don't seem to realize is that Comstock is a completely different person that the Booker we play as. Yes, they are the same person physically, but mentally they went on to live completely different lives after a turning point in their lives. We don't even know his original purpose in kidnapping Elizabeth from our Booker.
I'm sure it has something to do with the Lutece twins though and his need for an heir. My theory is that Comstock has his reasons for wanting to purge the world in fire most likely because of what happened at the Battle of Wounded Knee. So at some point he probably meets the Letece twins and they help him create the machine to go into other worlds. Now we also know that he needed an heir for his throne according to the Arc Angel Gabriel, well the problem is, he's sterile. He uses Booker's debt as a means to acquire her from him.
So now that Comstock has Elizabeth he has to get rid of anyone who knows the truth i. But the Twins are aware that they exist in more than one universe and because of that they use Booker to undo all the wrong they did. Thus the events of the game unfold. The same thing applies to Elizabeth, at the end of the game she realizes that she is a constant force in every universe, that is also why she says she can see through all the doors and see each outcome.
Comstock's reasons for keeping Elizabeth locked up are: A He does not want Booker getting to her B He is preparing her to take over as his heir. So back to the ending we learn that Booker is just a pawn in a never ending cycle that is slightly different each time, hence why they say "Constants and variables". The Constants are Elizabeth, Booker and Comstock and the variables are all the small changes that happen to him.
So now that Booker learns he will always become Comstock and always stay as Booker Dewitt he let's Elizabeth kill him to stop everything from happening. By doing this he cancels out the cycle stopping any of these events from happening. This also means he most likely has no memory of anything that happened in the game. The reason I think Elizabeth has all these powers is possibly because she came from a different universe and grew up reading books on Quantum Physics enabling her with the ability to manipulate the fabric of time.
Now one of my theory on the visit to Rapture in the end is that it's just another outcome of "Constants and Variables". Now you also have to take into account all the different variables that could have happened to lead to this outcome. It is also possible that Bioshock 1 and 2 could just be another part of the cycle and have nothing to do with Infinite besides the fact that they exist in the same universe.
The whole thing makes your head hurt when you try to figure it out, which is what makes me love the story so much. Nothings better than a game that gets you thinking. I will say though the story in this game really takes away from the first 2, It's like why do those stories even matter, but I guess the best way to look at it is a new story in a never ending book.
Also this is all just my take on what happened and how I think everything went down. The title also makes sense now, It's called Bioshock Infinite because there is an infinite number of possibilities. In one set, he does not go through with the baptism, so all his sins from the war still weigh on him, making him spiral out of control into drinking and gambling. Some time after the failed baptism he gets married and has Anna I don't know if there is an official source that says he has Anna before the baptism, but everything works if he had her after In the other set, he goes through with it, he becomes Comstock, builds Columbia, becomes sterile, needs an heir, and decides to buy Anna from a Booker in the previous set.
The first Booker regrets the decision, tries to get her back, and everything that happens in the game unfolds as he tries to find her with the help of Luteces, who have their own agenda to undo what they did, specifically, building the machine which is tearing the space-time continuum. So, the only reason to stop the multiverse from collapsing, is to avoid building the machine, ie, stopping Columbia from being built. What we see at the end, is Elizabeth drowning all the Bookers from the second set, all versions that would become Comstock are killed smothered while being born, as Booker says near the end.
I believed they only killed the ones from that set, so the original Bookers are still alive, but they never sold their Annas, and that's what we see in the scene at the end post credits. Booker becomes comstock because he gave his daughter away and gets baptised to rid himself of his "sins" aka all the stuff in the war, the gambling, drinking then giving her away ect.. Rebaptised as Zachery Comstock he became obsessed with getting his daughter back and other fanatical ideas through redemption of religion.

Since well before Booker comes close to Columbia it seems that Comstock is aware that Booker will come and what he will try to do in Columbia. And Comstock is getting ready to take care of Booker. How is it that Comstock is so aware of Booker's coming arrival that he can set up this whole "False Shepherd" thing in anticipation?
Showing 1 - 5 of 5 comments. With the help of the Luteces he is able to trick Booker into giving up his daughter under the pretense of erasing his gambling debt. The Luteces open up a tear into Bookers universe in order to bring Anna and Robert across.
However, Booker has second thoughts and arrives to try to get his daughter back. He tries to prevent Comstock from taking Anna through the tear but the only result of his struggle is that Anna's pinky finger is sheared off by the closing tear, resulting in her gaining extradimensional powers. This is where Elizabeth comes from as the seed of the prophet and with this knowledge the Lady Comstock accuses Comstock of an affair with Rosalind Lutece. In the timeline that eventually leads to thed destruction of New York, Comstock captures and brainwashes Elizabeth, shaping her in his own image and turning her into the zealous leader he himself had been.
Comstock is finally killed near the end of the game by Booker after he rescues Elizabeth. They fight their way onto his flagship The Hand of the Prophet and confront him. He dies after having his head smashed against a fountain and drowned in it. In doing so, Comstock and all of the events he put in motion — including the creation of Columbia — are erased from existence.
While Comstock accepted baptism and changed his name in some realities, in others he rejected it and retained the name, Booker DeWitt. Unable to find succor in religion, Booker turned to the vices of gambling and drinking to deal with his lingering guilt over his actions at Wounded Knee. At some point, he met Annabelle Watson whom he married and she became the mother of his child. Unfortunately, Annabelle died in childbirth, sending him further into his downward spiral of gambling debts and alcoholism.
One day, Robert Lutece arrived and made an offer to erase Booker's debts in exchange for the infant Anna, an exchange he made but immediately regretted. Booker attempted to retrieve his daughter but failed and she was taken through a Tear. Nearly two decades later, the Luteces had a change of heart and sent different versions of Booker repeatedly to Comstock's universes to retrieve Anna.
These alternate Bookers failed times before the rd finally succeeded. In one of these universes where Booker failed, he became a prominent leader of the Vox Populi, and after his death was held up as a martyr to their revolution, which, in an ironic way, was a revolution being waged against a version of himself.
In an alternate reality, Comstock's path shifted course when rather than Anna's pinkie, her head was severed by the closing of the Lutece Tear. Overwhelmed by horror and guilt, Comstock had the initials 'AD' tattooed on his hand and had the Luteces help him escape to a new time and place where he could start a new life and forget his guilt.
The Luteces opened a tear to Rapture , where Comstock lost his memories of his prior life and began using his original name once more, Booker DeWitt while working as a private detective. At some point in his years in Rapture, he took in a young orphan girl named Sally , who disappeared one day while he was gambling at Sir Prize.
His search for her leads him to interrogate Dr. Yi Suchong but this yielded no leads. Sometime after, a police friend of his, Sullivan , told him they had found her body at the docks. A woman named Elizabeth comes to his office on New Year's Eve and hires him to find Sally, claiming that she is not dead.
Though skeptical, Comstock follows her and eventually finds Sally in the sunken Fontaine's Department Store. His struggle to pull Sally out of a vent triggers the memory of his identity as Comstock and Anna's death. The Luteces then appear and remark that Comstock always ran away from his problems by stealing the lives of others.
Comstock, once again guilt-stricken and horrified, tells Elizabeth he is sorry. Elizabeth, however, tells him he isn't, but he would be. Comstock is then impaled through the chest by the drill of a Bouncer. Also revealed are his previously unseen white hair and aged face, showing Comstock was still afflicted by his overuse of the Luteces' transdimensional device. Despite her apparent hatred for this particular Comstock, Elizabeth acknowledges the fact that he had tried to save Sally, something which she is trying to do in Episode 2.
When later questioned by her mental hallucination of Booker DeWitt on whether Comstock truly deserved to die, Elizabeth solemnly answers that everyone deserves to, one way or another. BioShock Wiki Explore. There's Something in the Sea Industrial Revolution. Explore Wikis Community Central.
