## Summary

The **Marvel Animated Universe** (**MAU**) is the fan made term for any shared universe for animated adaptations based off Marvel Comics. Unlike their DC counterpart, Marvel has multiple (canonically confirmed) shared animated universes.

The reality in which the *Spider-Man* (1981), *Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends* and *The Incredible Hulk* (1982) shows (along with their tie-in comics) take place in.

Though voice actors across the three series differ, in the episode "The Prison Plot" of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, there is a flashback sequence that depicts a scene from the previous series' "When Magneto Speaks... People Listen", which hints the two shows are, in fact, connected.

The reality in which *Wolverine and the X-Men*, *The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes*, *Hulk Vs.* and *Thor: Tales of Asgard* take place in, as well as some of their comic tie-ins.

From *Wolverine and the X-Men* spawned **Earth-80920** (Days of Future Past-like world) and the *Planet Hulk* animated movie is often considered to be part of this continuity, though it has also been listed as being part of **Earth-10022**. If we assume *Planet Hulk* is also part of **Earth-8096**, then the Doctor Strange of **Earth-2772** could be as well, as he shares the same design he bears in the *Planet Hulk* movie.File:Earth-12041 0002.png
The reality in which the following cartoons (and their comic tie-ins) reside: *Ultimate Spider-Man*, *Avengers Assemble*, *Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.* and *Guardians of the Galaxy*.

This reality has multiple alternate timelines and is most famous for being among the strongest comic book-based verses, if not the most impressive among comic book adaptations, with the characters showing off feats almost comparable to their mainstream/original selves.

Though the creators of Avengers Assemble have stated that it's a sequel to Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes and there's a flashback that references the latter show by using EMH's character designs, it has been given a different reality designation and is now considered an alternate reality to Earth-8096.

Season 3 of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and Season 5 of Marvel's Avengers Assemble take place on a different reality instead, as the former referenced events from *Marvel's Spider-Man* (an entirely new show unrelated to Ultimate Spider-Man).
## Power of the Verse

Like the DCAU, it is not as strong as its comic counterpart, but powerful in its own right.

**Earth-8096** peaks out at **City level** or **Island level** with Thor (who most other character scales from) and likely **Planet level** with Galactus.

**Earth-12041** peaks out at likely **Universe level** with Thanos wielding the Infinity Gauntlet.
