Concept
Features of the Marvel Universe
Résumé
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. There follows a list of those features.
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.
Many Marvel Comics stories are set in New York City, where the publishing company is based.
New York is the site of many places important to superheroes:
Avengers Mansion: Currently in ruin, but long the home of the Avengers.
Avengers Tower: Formerly Stark Tower, the current headquarters of the Avengers.
Alias Investigations: The private investigations firm founded and owned by Jessica Jones.
Baxter Building and Four Freedoms Plaza: The bases of the Fantastic Four.
Daily Bugle: A newspaper building where Peter Parker (Spider-Man) works as a photographer for J. Jonah Jameson.
Fisk Towers: A skyscraper owned by Kingpin Wilson Fisk, and base of operations for his criminal activities.
Hell's Kitchen: Home and protectorate of the Defenders (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist) and The Punisher.
Nelson and Murdock Law Offices: The law firm founded by Matt Murdock (Daredevil) and Foggy Nelson.
Sanctum Sanctorum: The abode of Doctor Strange located in Greenwich Village.
Oscorp Tower: A skyscraper owned by Norman Osborn. Now the headquarters for Alchemax.
Mutant Town/District X: A ghetto-like neighborhood of New York primarily populated by mutants. Since the Decimation, its mutant population has largely disappeared.
The Bowery: In Fantastic Four #4 (1962), the Fantastic Four's Human Torch discovers the 1940s-era character Namor in this Manhattan neighborhood of "human derelicts", where Namor had taken up residence after the onset of retrograde amnesia about his identity.
Wakandan embassy: The consulate/embassy of Black Panther's nation of Wakanda.
