Earth-616 is the universe in which an overwhelming majority of documented events in the Marvel Megaverse occur. Notably, during World War II, heroes such as Captain America, the Human Torch, and Namor the Sub-Mariner emerged and assisted Allied forces against the Axis. Later, in the 1960s, a cavalcade of heroes appeared in the public eye, including the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and the Avengers in their various forms. Since then, conflicts between superheroes and -villains have come to define global and universal events.

Earth-199999 is sometimes erroneously known as Earth-616.
