New Universe
New Universe
The New Universe is a comic book imprint from Marvel Comics that was published from 1986 to 1989. It was created as part of Marvel's 25th anniversary celebration and was intended to be a more realistic and grounded universe compared to the main Marvel Universe. The New Universe was the brainchild of then-editor-in-chief Jim Shooter.
History
The New Universe was launched in 1986 with eight new titles: Star Brand, Spitfire and the Troubleshooters, Justice, Nightmask, Psi-Force, Kickers, Inc., Mark Hazzard: Merc, and DP7. These titles were set in a world much like our own, with no superheroes or supervillains until a mysterious event called the "White Event" granted various individuals superhuman abilities.
Titles
- Star Brand: The story of Ken Connell, who gains a powerful energy source known as the Star Brand.
- Spitfire and the Troubleshooters: Follows Jenny Swensen and her team of high-tech troubleshooters.
- Justice: Chronicles the adventures of Tensen, an alien law enforcer.
- Nightmask: Centers on Keith Remsen, who can enter people's dreams.
- Psi-Force: A group of teenagers with psychic powers.
- Kickers, Inc.: A team of former football players who use their abilities to help others.
- Mark Hazzard: Merc: Follows the life of a mercenary named Mark Hazzard.
- DP7: Stands for "Displaced Paranormals," a group of people dealing with their newfound powers.
White Event
The "White Event" was a mysterious astronomical phenomenon that occurred in the New Universe, granting various individuals superhuman abilities. This event was a central plot point in many of the New Universe titles and served as the catalyst for the emergence of superpowered beings in this otherwise normal world.
Legacy
Despite its initial hype, the New Universe struggled with sales and was eventually canceled in 1989. However, it has since gained a cult following and has been referenced in various Marvel Comics storylines. The concept of a more realistic and grounded universe has influenced other comic book imprints and series.
