Line 15:
The "616" number given to the main [[Marvel]] universe (as opposed to the other alternate realities) was a bit of spite on a writer's part, using 616 as a way of [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]].
 
In Mandarin [[Chinese LanguageMandarin]], 666 sounds like the phrase that roughly translates as "everything going smoothly", so the number is considered lucky in China especially for commercial undertakings.
 
Compare with its Asian counterparts [[108]] and [[Four Is Death|4]]. For the [[Robert A. Heinlein]] novel, see ''[[The Number of the Beast]]''. Not to be confused with [[555]], which is about fake phone numbers.
