History
Marvel was founded in 1939 and eventually became the largest beast in the comicbook business.
Description
The Marvel Universe is comprised of everything in our own reality plus superheroes, supervillains, and other suspensions of disbelief. These would include Captain America, the X-Men, and the Baxter Building. Like other publishers before and since, Marvel has created a number of alternate realities to expand their own narrative possibilities. There have even been a few crossovers into the DC Universe. Other than the superheroic people, places, and things, the Marvel Universe quite closely resembles our own underpowered one.
