What is the ANAD Marvel Universe's designation?

[idisestablish]

The 616 "ship" was destroyed. End of Secret Wars #1.

Yes, and Nightcrawler died, yet when resurrected is still called Nightcrawler. My previous statement is obviously predicated on the assumption that the MU would be essentially the same universe as 616 restored. It has been demonstrated that most, if not all, of the 616 storylines pick up where they left off, and there are only a handful of stray elements from other universes such as Miles Morales and Old Man Logan, which is not a new phenomenon. Of course, if it turns out to be truly an entirely different universe or true amalgamation of different universes, then that's a different story. My response regarded only the fact that you stated it wouldn't make sense to call it 616 if it was the only universe left, which is different than if you had said it wouldn't make sense to call it 616 since it's a unique and different universe from what we now call 616.

Even if the end of Secret Wars leaves us all with one and only one universe, does anyone really believe that's going to hold? There's going to be alternate universes popping up or someone's going to change history and someone else is going to fix it causing some offshoot. Marvel's had to have considered a What If for SW already. They're superhero books, that's what they do.

If Marvel wants SW to be something more than just another basic story, then they need to retire the numbers 616 and 1610. If a designation is ever used again, find something that reflects SW, 1510 maybe.

I mean they have already announced that Spider-Gwen will be in her own universe after secret wars. So they are pretty much already saying that the whole "1 universe to rule them all blah blah blah" bullcrap is essentially that... Bullcrap.

"616" has been put to bed, probably "forever."

It will just be called "Earth," because there will only be one in mainstream continuity... until they happen upon Earth-Gwen.

[cyberhubbs]

The Web Warriors comic revolves around the team helping Earths without a Spider-Man. There'll be a multiverse again.

And wasn't the 616 number supposed to be a reference to a Mark of the Beast theory?

[krazijoe]

Serious question, since I haven't heard anything about this. Will they still call it "Earth-616"? Or will it be renumbered as "Earth-0" or something? Maybe simply "New Earth"?

They didn't name it 616 the fans did and it caught on. So expect the fans to name it and Marvel to usurp it.

[Myetche]

616-2.0, because Marvel's essentially continuing where it left off once SW ends and everything gets restored.

It's a long drawn out Convergence.

Earth 664?

It's been confirmed multiple times over by Spider-Gwen, Web Warriors, and Contest of Champions that the Multiverse will still exist in some capacity once Battleworld is gone. There's really no reason it wouldn't still be Earth-616.

I agree these books show that its still just the same old Earth 616

[fred]

While 666 is called the "number of the beast" in most manuscripts of Revelation 13:18, a fragment of the papyrus 115 gives the number as 616.... It's a theory. But it still means bo-diddley squat really, as there is STILL going to be multiple universes kicking about, it's Marvel fer Pete's sake!

[Michael P]

They didn't name it 616 the fans did and it caught on.

No, Alan Moore came up with that name and it caught on. And he was taking the piss, as he himself would say.

[Captain Zolalnadia]

Doesn't really matter except in books that involve other universes, So I don't expect to see it much outside of Spider-Verse and Contest of Champions. maybe a little in Spider-Gwen, Ultimates and New Avengers.
