BATTLEWORLD: DECIPHERING THE THEME PARK MAP OF THE POST-MARVEL UNIVERSE ( II )

A few more parts revealed....


5. TECHNOPOLIS


A strip of land inspired by the classic Iron Man Armor Wars storyline. We wondered if this zone might tie in to the current Superior Iron Man storyline in which a twisted Tony Stark is deliberately using his tech to reshape the world. In fact it's about a world where everyone wears Iron Man-style armor, designed by either Tony or his brother Arno.















6. CLASSIFIED


One of three Classified zones. This one divides Egyptia and Technopolis on one side from The Regency and King James' England on the other. If there's a theme to this cluster of worlds, it may be non-mutant futures and pasts. And that's not so much a theme as an enormous echoing hall. Let's say it's Earth X. Why would Marvel keep that a secret? No idea.







7. SPIDER-ISLAND

On the north coast of the main Battleworld continent, this island revives the Spider Island storyline in which Manhattan was overrun with millions of Spider-Men. We initially guessed this might tie in to Spider-Verse, but that's actually revived over in the zone called 'Arachnia,' so presumably this is just a straight-up Spider-Island-themed domain of Spider-Men.

 

8. THE REGENCY

The name traditionally refers to the period when King George III was too mad to rule the United Kingdom and his son, the Prince Regent, ruled in his place -- you know, like in that movie. But this is actually a world based on the One More Day story, in which Peter Parker used the devil to divorce his wife. Cool idea, bro.
The name Regency may relate to the Spider-Man story Reign, set in a future where Peter and Mary-Jane remained married (though a regency and a reign are technically mutually exclusive concepts). In this reality the couple are still married and raising their daughter May together. Dan Slott and Adam Kubert are the creative team on Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows.
