EspañolMULTIVERSE (MARVEL COMICS)
Within Marvel Comics, most tales take place within the fictional Marvel Universe, this in turn is part of a larger 'multiverse'. Starting with issues of ''Captain Britain'', the main continuity in which most Marvel storylines take place was designated Earth-616, and the multiverse was established as being protected by Merlyn. Each universe has a Captain Britain designated to protect its version of the British Isles. These protectors are collectively known as the Captain Britain Corps. This numerical notation was continued in the series ''Excalibur'' and other titles.
Later on, many writers would utilize and reshape the multiverse in titles such as ''Exiles'', ''X-Man'', and ''Ultimate Fantastic Four''. New universes would also spin out of storylines involving time travelling characters such as Rachel Summers, Cable, and Bishop, as their actions rendered their home times alternate timelines.
Below is a partial list of notable alternate worlds, and universes with known numerical designations. Beyond these, many other alternate worlds have been visited or explored in Marvel Comics. Most notably, almost every separate storyline of the ''What If...'' and ''Exiles'' series relates to a separate universe in the multiverse, although an occasional pair of issues in which characters and situations do not overlap could conceivably share a universe. The numerical designations for these are rarely revealed outside of reference works such as the ''Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes 2005''.
The classification system for alternate realities was devised, in part, by Mark Gruenwald.[1]
A Universe/continuity is a single reality, such as Earth-616, the mainstream Marvel Universe/Continuity. Note that in Marvel Comics, the concept of a continuity is not the same as "dimension" or "universe"; for example, characters like Mephisto and Dormammu hail from alternate dimensions and the Celestials from another universe, but they all nevertheless belong to Earth-616. A continuity should also not be confused with an imprint; for example, while the titles of some imprints, such as Ultimate Marvel, take place in a different continuity, some or all publications in other imprints, such as Epic Comics, Marvel MAX, and Marvel UK, take place within the Earth-616 continuity. Note that in context the ''Marvel Universe'' is often used to refer to the Marvel 'Multiverse' or even the Marvel 'Megaverse'.
★ ''Uni'' is the Latin prefix meaning "one."
A Multiverse is the collection of alternate universes with a similar nature and a universal hierarchy. The Marvel multiverse contains Earth-616, most of the ''What If''? worlds, as well as the vast number of the alternate Earths seen in the Marvel Universe.
The original term and concept were coined by Michael Moorcock for his "Eternal Champion" sequence where the lead characters are analogous to the Captain Britain Corps.
★ ''Multi'' is the Latin prefix meaning "many."
There are certain universes which are tied to the Marvel multiverse - such as the New Universe and the Ultraverse - which do not share any open similarities to it, and thus are not strictly part of the larger universal hierarchy that forms the Marvel multiverse, but at the same time, are not so far removed that they existed in a separate multiverse. The 21st century edition of the ''Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe'' posits the term 'Megaverse' as the name for this larger grouping, though since there is always the chance that some future publications will increase the interactions between different Multiverses, this is a fluid definition.
★ ''Mega'' is the Greek prefix meaning "great."
The Omniverse is the collection of every single universe, multiverse, dimension (alternate or pocket) and realm. This includes not only Marvel Comics, but also DC Comics, Image, Dark Horse, Archie, and every universe ever mentioned or seen (and an infinite amount never mentioned or seen) including our own world. Everything is in the Omniverse, and there is only one Omniverse.
★ ''Omni'' is the Latin prefix meaning "all."
The term was coined by Mark Gruenwald in his fan publication, A Treatise in Reality in Comics Literature[2], and was also the name of the fanzine that he published for two issues before being hired by Marvel.
The numeric designations of these alternate universes have been confirmed by Marvel Comics throughout the years and compiled in 2005's ''Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes'', and in Marvel publications since the release of the ''Handbook''. The prevalent method of numbering a universe is to derive numbers in some way from the publication date of an issue relating to the universe, usually its first appearance. This is, in turn, based on the mistaken belief that "Earth-616" derived its number from the publication date of ''The Fantastic Four'' #1 (Nov. 1961).
These following universes made their debut in two separate volumes of What If along with several one-shots. Note that these set of universe included the earth home to Spider-Girl.
These following universes seen in Exiles series (including Annual #1) and these universes are notably visited by, seen by or home to various Exiles members. This not including the universe of Age of Apocalypse.
These following universes are seen from various Marvel Comics and other than the universe of Age of Apocalypse (see above), these don’t include the ones seen in What If? And Exiles.
