Earth Prime (Dimension-88618)

## Characteristics

### Reality

Dimension 88618 has all the features of our reality: same countries, same personalities (politicians, movie stars, presidents, etc.), same historical events (Trojan War, World Wars, 9/11, etc.), and so on. However, it also features distinct ones, such as countries like Wakanda, and Latveria and cities like Metropolis, and Gotham. Dimension 88618 was the mainstream continuity of the Chuckle Nut's multiverse and where most of stories take place.

### Superheroes and Villains

Dimension 88618's major heroes (the ones who get involved in most of the important events) are The Batman, the Invincible Iron Man, the Amazing Spider-Man, Deadpool the Merc with the Mouth, the Mighty Superman, and Captain America. The X-Men, and the Defenders are the biggest team players, although the memberships of the groups have often changed. The Defenders have included most of Dimension 88618's major heroes as members at one time or another. The X-Men consists of various mutants, such as QuickSilver, Cyclops, and Storm brought together by Professor X. The Defenders were an ad hoc team formed by Doctor Strange to help him deal with major menaces to the multiverse, often including The Batman, Magneto, Donald Trump, and various other heroes. The Guardians of the Galaxy are a group of rag-tag cosmic misfits consisting of Star-Lord, Kitty-Pryde, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot.

As one would expect from a universe of superheroes, evil and crime are bound to erupt such as the case with The Train perhaps better known as The Cosmic Train, archenemy of Magneto. The Cosmic Train had the record of most heroes fought, having fought nearly every hero on Dimension 88618 including the Defenders and X-Men. Other major villains include Thanos, the mad titan, and the mutant scientist Doctor Haxx. Although most villains were able to be stopped by their opposing team, there has been one team that has given the universe it's toughest challenge yet. Joker's Crazy Kooks is a group of multiversal villains, hellbent on wreaking as much chaos as possible throughout this dimension. The group has lost, and gained memebers overtime, but the most important members of the group include: The clown prince of crime, The Joker; Ultron, and The Reverse Flash.

A degree of paranoid fear against mutants exists due to stories of mutants being a race or even a species (Homo superior or Homo sapiens superior) that is evolving and is meant to replace normal humans. This has caused organizations to form to deal with the problem, who can be divided into three camps: those who seek peaceful coexistence between mutants and normal humans (the X-Men and their affiliated groups), those who seek to control or eliminate humans to give mutants safety or dominance, and those who seek to regulate or eliminate mutants in favor of humans. The latter often use the robots known as Sentinels as weapons.

### Origin of Superhuman Powers

Most of the superhumans owe their powers to the x-gene, a gene which lays dormant in most people, until they reach a certain age. Others get their powers through the use of technology, such as Iron Man or The Batman. The only other way people acquire powers in Dimension 88618, is usually through the fact that they are non-humans, such as Superman or Martian Manhunter.

## Places
