*"Life… it’s worth fighting for."*
―Reed Richards to Kang the Conquerer
The **AMU** is a Marvel Scratch Comic Universe created by AwesomeUser23. It was started on June 3rd, 2022. The universe has received praise for its originality and creativity, as well as its art. It has become infamous for brutally killing off beloved characters. This has resulted in many comics from the universe being removed from Scratch.

## History

The Awesome Marvel Universe began in June of 2022. The very first comic was Thor #1, and it released on June 3rd. The universe, however, did not receive large popularity until the announcement of the crossover event Secret Wars, which would include characters from countless other universes. The AMU’s third phase and first saga concluded on November 15th, 2022, with the release of Out of Time. The universe’s fourth phase started with the debut of The AMU Holiday Special, which was released on December 12th of the same year. In February 2023, AwesomeUser23 confirmed that the AMU would end with its sixth phase. On August 21st of the same year, the slate for Phase Five was revealed, as well as the title of the second saga.

## Trivia

* In July of 2022, the largest MSM crossover ever took place, and was hosted by the AMU’s Secret Wars series.
* The AMU has become notorious for its shock value and brutally killing off beloved (and usually male) characters.
	+ Unsurprisingly, the universe has had a total of seven comics reported, all of which were removed due to blood, gore, or disturbing imagery.
* Phase 2 is the only phase to not have a single one-shot.
