The Marvel Universe

Marvel's fictional universe is extraordinarily complex, spanning thousands of comics issues dating back to the 1960s. The main Marvel Comics continuity is called Earth-616. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created many of Marvel's most iconic characters in the 1960s - The Fantastic Four (1961), Spider-Man (1962), Thor (1962), Iron Man (1963), the X-Men (1963), and the Avengers (1963). Marvel characters are distinctive for their personal flaws and relatable human struggles alongside their superpowers.
