The Multiverse: Difference between revisions

** [[Warren Ellis]]' run on ''[[X-Man]]'' utilized another conception of the multiverse, where in addition to [[Parallel Universe]]s, there's a "spiral of realities" stretching above and below, with the universes "downspiral" being significantly more chaotic and difficult for live to develop/survive in than the the relatively advanced and idyllic universes located "upspiral".

** There are in fact two types of alternate universe in the Marvel Universe. The first are different dimensions adjacent to the regular 616 verse, such as the Microverse and the various magical verses; the second are parallel universes, which are usually alternate timelines, and presumably each has its own adjacent verses too. It's not always clear which is which- the Negative Zone, for instance, is vague on if it is the first or second kind, so the one encountered by the regular [[Fantastic Four]] and their Ultimate counterparts could actually be one and the same (and the Nihil encountered by the latter wasn't a counterpart of the regular FF foe Annihlus, but a member of the same species- [[Fridge Brilliance|which is why he referred to himself as a member of a "caste" and already knew who Reed Richards was in their first meeting]]).

* The comic books ''Those Annoying Post Brothers'' and ''Savage Henry'' focus on Bugtown, a infinite-sized [[City of Adventure]] which connects to an infinite number of alternate worlds.

* So did the comic book ''Grimjack''.
