Earth-616 is familiar.
Cities have been rebuilt. Nations endure. Heroes and villains continue to shape the world around them. Though reality itself has changed, much of what once existed remains. Sometimes unchanged, sometimes transformed by the reconciliation of histories.
The locations below are intended to establish the shared world of Earth-616. They are not exhaustive, nor are they intended to limit future storytelling. As this reality continues to evolve, so too will its record.
New York remains the center of superhero activity. Home to countless heroes, organizations, and world-changing events, the city continues to serve as the heart of Earth-616. Avengers Tower, the Baxter Building, the Sanctum Sanctorum, Hell's Kitchen, Harlem, and many other familiar landmarks all exist within the city.
Headquarters of the Fantastic Four and one of the world's foremost centers of scientific research. While much of its work remains private, the Baxter Building continues to stand as a symbol of innovation and discovery.
Hidden in plain sight within Greenwich Village, the Sanctum serves as one of Earth's greatest mystical strongholds. Whether protecting reality from magical threats or housing ancient knowledge, it remains a place few truly understand.
The Kingdom of Wakanda stands as one of the world's most technologically advanced nations. Though protective of its sovereignty, Wakanda maintains relationships beyond its borders and continues to influence world affairs through diplomacy, science, and innovation.
An independent European nation known for its isolation, advanced technology, and political complexity. Much of Latveria remains closed to outsiders, and its future will be shaped by those who claim its story.
Mutants have always been part of Earth-616.
Whether known as Xavier's School, Xavier's Institute, or another name, the school continues to serve as both a sanctuary and a place of learning for young mutants. Its role within this new reality will continue to evolve alongside its students and faculty.
The island nation of Genosha exists within this reality. Its history, government, and current status remain open for collaborative development depending on the stories its inhabitants choose to tell.
The realm of the Asgardians endures. Though its place among the Nine Realms has changed throughout history, Asgard remains connected to Midgard through ancient magic, divine responsibility, and those who call both realms home.
Far beyond Earth, Knowhere continues to serve as a crossroads for explorers, merchants, bounty hunters, and travelers from across the galaxy. The universe beyond Earth remains vast, and its stories are just as important as those told upon it.
Built to contain the world's most dangerous super-powered criminals, the Raft remains one of the highest-security prisons on Earth.
Whether operating publicly, privately, or in a reduced capacity, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s legacy remains woven into the history of Earth-616. Its current structure is intentionally left open for collaborative storytelling.
One of the world's leading technological corporations. Its future leadership, direction, and role within the world will be determined through play.
Still one of New York's most recognizable news publications, the Daily Bugle continues to shape public opinion on heroes, villains, and the extraordinary events that unfold around them.
This record serves as a foundation rather than a limitation.
The world of Earth-616 is expansive. Countless cities, nations, planets, dimensions, and civilizations exist beyond those listed here. If a location is not mentioned, that should not be taken as evidence of its absence.
The record grows with every story.
