Features of the Marvel Universe

The comic book stories published by Marvel Comics since the 1940s have featured several noteworthy concepts besides its fictional characters, such as unique places and artifacts. The following lists detail many of them.

Places

Certain places feature prominently in the Marvel Universe, some real-life, others fictional and unique to the setting; fictional places may appear in conjunction with, or even within, real- world locales. A majority of dystopian cities have been used for their characters since the creation of Marvel Comics in the Marvel Universe.

New York City

Most of the action of Marvel Comics takes place in New York City.

New York is the site of many places important to superheroes:

  • Avengers Mansion – currently in ruin, but long the home of the Avengers.
  • Baxter Building and Four Freedoms Plaza – fictional buildings that have, at one time or another, been the home of the Fantastic Four.
  • Daily Bugle – fictional newspaper building where Peter Parker (Spider-Man) works as a photographer for J. Jonah Jameson.
  • Podcasts:
