Altered statesEncompassing the Multiverse are regions generated by the processes of lifeand populated by higher beings of an abstract or conceptual nature. Thenotion is difficult for any non-super-genius to grasp, but Prime Earth’stransdimensional security force A.R.M.O.R. (Alternate Reality Monitoringand Operational Response) has proposed practical definitions for wheneverits agents have to face dimensional breaches. “Parallel Universes” arealternate realities related to Prime Earth that rarely intersect through naturalcircumstance, but can be artificially manipulated into intersecting.“Perpendicular Universes” are alternate realities naturally crossing overwith Earth, generally at a fixed point, such as the Watcher Uatu’s home onEarth’s Moon. “Wave Universes” are realms and dimensions that convergewith Earth for a prescribed period of time, such as reappearances of thefabled city K’un-Lun in the Himalayas every ten years.None of these rules applies when voyagers access the Nexus of Reality(mostly located in the swamps around Citrusville, Florida) or its sometimeguardian Man-Thing. Underspace, Microverse, Macroverse, and Overspaceare progressively more singular planes connected to the Multiverse andSuperflow, while remaining separate from them. These realms areaccessible from any universe within the Multiverse if their inhabitants reacha tipping point of power or possess sufficient cosmic awareness.Reality is compromised in the dying days of the Seventh Cosmos, whenthe immensely powerful and curious Beyonders attempt to erase theMultiverse as part of a grand cosmic experiment. Their scheme is hijackedby Earth super-genius mage Victor von Doom who ascends to ultimatepower. He turns the last survivors and remnants of various realities into apersonal fiefdom where he is the supreme being. His reign ends when ReedRichards and the Molecule Man thwart his schemes and bring about a newEighth Cosmos, which closely mirrors the destroyed Seventh.
