Universes

A universe, also called shared universe, is used to reflect the overall milieu created by a comic book publisher in which characters, events, and features from one publication appear in other publications.

• We will only use universes that are made public as being a universe by the publisher. If existing, the corresponding name for the universe from the publisher will be used. This in particular also means that no fan-deduced universes will be used in our database. Exceptions are the proposed mainstream universe and the 'unspecified' universe for multi-universe scenarios.
• A universe for the superhero universe from DC and Marvel will be added, respectively. Other universes will be decided separately.
