Marvel


Many people are familiar with the Marvel Universe, as it is home to a number of superheroes like the Fantastic Four, the X-men, the Avengers, etc. The Universe is huge, and most of the stories center around earth. A number of galaxies have been explored in many of the pages as well, introducing a host of new species and planetary systems! Magic and High technology exist side by side. Most of the superheroes have either been altered by contact with strange substances, science or by magic to gain their power. Individuals who have developed powers on their own are known as mutants.

The world itself self is slightly bigger than earth, there are some new countries and cultures unique to Earth-616. In the distant past, the Earth-616 shared the same origin "The World of Conan". During this age when Atlantis sank its people retreated to the waters and became a new species of man, known Homo-Mermanus. It was also shortly before this time that the Eternals and Deviants were created by the Celestials, a pre-cursor to Homo-Superius aka mutants. It was only after the Great Cataclysm when the Africa, Europe, and Asia were reformed that history continues on as usual. Earth-616 also shares a "Counter-Earth" which is found in the same orbit as earth, but directly opposite from us and was never discovered.
 
What is very unique about this universe is that it contains over 20,081,205 parallel earths to date!!  The prime marvel universe in known as Earth-616. All of these parallel worlds exist within their own universe, but part of the Marvel Multi-verse. The Marvel Multiverse, is just one aspect of reality which is part of a greater continuum known as the Omniverse (DC Universe, the RPG Universes, etc). Most of these universes are divergent timelines, where certain events have altered the course of that world, however there are a number of universe that share a common theme which I will list here.
