Marvel Universe

The Marvel Universe is a fictional shared universe that serves as the setting for American comic books and other media published by Marvel Comics. Many superheros and supervillains exist within the Marvel Universe, including the Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man, Doctor Doom, Magneto, and many more.

The Marvel Universe contains almost all popular fictional elements and concepts from science fiction and fantasy genres, including magic, highly advanced technology, monsters, aliens, mythological figures, and, most notably, superhuman abilities.

The Marvel Universe is further depicted as existing within a "multiverse" consisting of thousands of separate universes, all of which are the creations of Marvel Comics and all of which are, in a sense, "Marvel universes". In this context, "Marvel Universe" is taken to refer to the mainstream Marvel continuity, which is known as Earth-616 or Prime Earth.
