- Immortus' castle
- This structure is an immense sprawling medieval style castle locate in Temporal Limbo, which exists outside the spacetime continuum. It is the headquarters and base of operations of the villain known as Immortus. It is from here that Immortus conducts his most radical studies into the vagaries of time travel. The castle itself was constructed using stones and slave labor pulled from the time of his previous incarnation of Rama-Tut. The gatekeeper of this castle is an immense being known as Tempus. For a time, the Space Phantom also resided here when he was a pawn of Immortus.
- Kang's castle
- Kang maintains a private fortress within the Temporal Limbo. It is a multi-storied structured with sandstone walls and upward sweeping pointed accent pieces on each level.

The interior of the castle includes Kang's monitoring chamber, where he maintains video surveillance of various timelines across the multiverse. The castle also houses a robotics laboratory where Kang mass produces robotic duplicates of himself to take the place of his "brothers-in-time" across the timelines.
- Phantus
- Phantus was the homeworld of the Space Phantom. Because of the endless chronal wars waged by the people of Phantus, the planet was pulled from its solar axis and thrust into the Temporal Limbo. The Space Phantom, trapped for a seemingly endless eternity in Limbo, found a means for helping his people when he came upon the Asgardian known as Thor. Thor had been bereft of his mystic hammer Mjolnir, so Space Phantom offered to help him retrieve the hammer in exchange for helping his planet. This brought them to the castle of Immortus, who was in possession of Mjolnir. Immortus agreed to help them and gave Thor his hammer back. Thor used the power of the hammer to open a space portal that enabled Immortus to push Phantus back into its proper position. [1]
