New York City/MU

New York City is a major metropolitan city located in the U.S. state of New York. This version of New York City is the one featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics in reality often referred to as the "Marvel Universe". The landscape and history of Marvel's New York City is the same as that of the real world, but there are also many historical elements, as well as characters, that are of course exclusive to the internal reality of the comic books. New York City is divided into five boroughs, each with their own neighborhoods. They are the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. A large majority of characters from the Marvel Universe are based out of NYC, as is the parent office of Marvel Comics itself. As such, Marvel's New York has a rich and colorful dynamic overlaid upon it's normal patina.
