Historical Context

Marvel Comics launched the New Universe in 1986 to create a more realistic superhero setting, but it struggled with production issues and was discontinued by 1989. In 2015, the Secret Wars event merged multiple universes, revitalizing the Ultimate Universe, which introduced characters like Miles Morales and saw a 30% sales increase.
