Line 20:
** Also there is no death there. Which makes it really suck when a guy dies on the doorstep.
* Likewise, in Marvel, Tibet is the one-stop-shopping place for all your power needs. (Drs. Doom, Druid and Strange, to name three).
** Marvel also had [[Immortal Iron Fist|Iron Fist]] develop both his [[Charles Atlas Superpower|martial arts skill]] (via [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]) but also his mystical [[Ki Attacks|iron-fist technique]] (via absorbing a dragon's heart) in K'un L'un. Said city is loosely based on the mythical land mentioned in Lost Horizon (see below) but is Marvelized as an [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink|extradimensional city whose gateway leads to Earth, which was founded by the crew of a crashed spaceship]]. With apostrophes.
*** Also note, K'un-Lun is not a happy place full of pacifists.
* ''[[Tintin]] in Tibet'' has one of these villages. Bonus points: Includes an airplane crash and {{spoiler|[[Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti|a yeti]]}}.
