The Marvel Universe is a fictional universe where the stories in most American comic book titles and other media published by Marvel Comics take place. Super-teams such as the Avengers, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Defenders, the Inhumans, the Eternals, and many Marvel superheroes live in this universe, including characters such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Wolverine, the Hulk, the Human Torch, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man, the Wasp, the Punisher, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Deadpool, Blade, Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, Storm, Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock, Shang-Chi, Nova and numerous others. The Marvel Universe is further depicted as existing within a "multiverse" consisting of thousands of separate universes, all of which are the creations of Marvel Comics and all of which are, in a sense, "Marvel universes". In this context, "Marvel Universe" is taken to refer to the mainstream Marvel continuity, which is known as Earth-616 or currently as Earth Prime.
