THE BERKELEY location guide TO BATTLEWORLD

This publish is a guide to Marvel’s Battleworld….

Marvel’s interactive map features 41 named land areas.  Suprisingly, the oceans are untitled—no Namor?  a few of the “places” are ones you’d expect, as well as we can quickly assumption what they will hold.  Others are less clear.  as well as there are a few glaring omissions: nothing for Rom the Spaceknight?  No Microverse?  I know, it’s all about the licensing issues…

Let’s look at what we know:

1. THE “GIMMES.”  These are areas that are obvious, as well as we quite much understand who will be there:

Manhattan is a combo of both the 616 as well as ultimate Manhattan, so it will most likely home the usual gang, like Peter Parker as well as Miles Morales.  The shock is that it will share area with Attilan (land of the Inhumans), which hasn’t been true since the days of John Byrne’s great four (when they went to the blue area of the moon), as well as beneath new Manhattan will be “Monster Metropolis,” which I’m guessing is either Mole Man’s world or the monster hideout last seen in FrankenPunisher (or both).

King James England.  It’s gotta be the 1602 world, right? 

The Eye of Agamotto.  A location housing Dr. strange stuff—he’s getting a movie, so its time to up his profile.

Higher Avalon.  All the Captain Britains will chill here.

The Valley of flame (this is where Kirby’s Devil Dinosaur lived).

Hala field as well as new Xandar.  Why will the Kree as well as Nova Corps homeworlds come to Earth?  Movies!  as well as this method marvel can bring the Guardians to earth so they can cross-exploit the crap out of them up until they’re meaningless, like they did for Wolverine!

Based on name alone—and/or the promo video-0these are likewise obvious: The Deadlands (Marvel Zombies), perfection (Age of Ultron), The Wastelands (Old guy Logan), K’Un Lun, 2099, Monarchy of M, Hydra Empire, domain of Apocalypse, as well as new Quack City.

2.  THESE seem OBVIOUS, however THERE might BE A TWIST:

Greenland.  There have been promos of tons of Hulks, all green, so I’m betting they’re hanging out here.

Dystopia.  This will be one of Marvel’s evil futures.  It’s adjacent to Greenland, so indications point to the world of Peter David’s “Future Imperfect”, however it might likewise be any type of number of similar locations (Age of Ultron’s future, Old guy Logan’s world, etc.).

Sentinel Territories .  chances are it’s the “Days of Future Past” futureworld, however it might just be a location that’s kept mutant-free—better living with genocide!

Spider-Island.  This is most likely the Manhattan where everybody has Spider Powers, however it may be that superior Spider-Man (aka Doc Ock) was so prominent that Marvel’s bringing him back to be a king—along with anyone who survives the present “Spider-Verse” story in incredible Spider-Man, which has brought together every Spider-Man ever understood (and many never understood before as well).  however there’s likewise an “Arachnia” area marked off, so…Is marvel just going to have tons of Spider-Man worlds?

Technolopolis.  most likely Tony Stark’s “utopia” he’s building out of San Franciso in superior Iron Man.

3.  perhaps THIS?

Bar Sinister most likely has something to do with Mr. Sinister.

Egyptia–maybe Kang back when he was Immortus?

Weirdworld-A collection of old Kirby characters?  The world from the 1970s fantasy comic of the exact same name?

Utopolis.  I don’t believe it’s Utopia, since the map likewise has “Mutopia,” however that seems like a possibility.

Marville.  This one’s a shocker.  The miniseries from 2002 is universally reviled.  Why would they bring it back?

Limbo.  Although this might be the world of the Dire Wraiths from ROM, I don’t believe marvel has the rights to that character anymore. So perhaps it’s the location Illyana “Magik” Rasputin went to method back in X-Men #160, when she grew up overnight?

The City.  It seems like a generic town, so it’s most likely where the marvel Noirverse will end up.

The war Zone.  I’d assumption that the trick Wars occur here, however what about after the event is over?  Remember, after the original trick Wars, thing stayed behind—so perhaps some people will continue to online there?  Frankly, though, I’d like it if this was 1970s new York as well as Punisher was going nuts in it (i.e., if it was named after the long continuous Punisher war zone comic)

4.  AND, FINALLY, I have NO concept WHAT WE’LL SEE IN: The Regency, Killville, Arcadia (could this be an Arcade world, like from Avengers Arena?), new Mars, The far east (Manga?  That Spider-Girl from India?), as well as the a number of “Classified” areas.

What are your guesses?
