| Info | Earth-1218 is the designation given to our reality, where super-heroes and other super-powered beings don't physically exist. In this world, all characters from other realities are considered fictional and are currently owned by Marvel Comics. The first of these characters, Namor, the Sub-Mariner, appeared in a comic book entitled Motion Picture Funnies Weekly published in April 1939, followed soon after by the first issue of Marvel Comics, which would later become the name of the publisher which was initially known as Timely Comics. Although numerous characters associated with Marvel would rise to popularity in the 1940s, the so-called "golden age" of Marvel (a.k.a. "Age of Heroes") is said to have truly begun with the publication of Fantastic Four #1 in 1961. Some of the Multiverse's residents attempt to break the fourth wall and communicate with Earth-1218, most notably Deadpool and She-Hulk. Given various versions of Deadpool and She-Hulk are known for their tendency to break the "fourth wall" and talk to the audience/reader directly, or display awareness that they are comic book characters, another way of looking at it is the two are capable of communicating with Earth-1218. Gwenpool claims she's from this universe. Since she factually never existed in our world, she's merely from a universe similar to ours, with the main (if not only) difference being her (and her family's) existence. Current known residents of Earth-1218 are almost 8 billion humans, and many other organisms. However, it is possible that there is more life elsewhere on other planets that may yet be discovered. Our reality was first given a reality designation in the letters page of New Exiles #3, and it's numbered after the birthday of the editor of said book, Jordan D. White (December 18). |
