The Marvel Universe is a multiverse canon. According to the Marvel Comics Database the "Multiverse is the collection of alternate universes that share a universal hierarchy; it is a subsection of the larger Omniverse, the canon collection of all alternate universes. A large variety of these universes were originated from another due to a major decision on the part of a character. Some can seem to be taking place in the past or future due to differences in how time passes in each universe. Often, new universes are born due to time traveling, another name for these new universes is an alternate timeline."[1]

In her info post about major Marvel Universes and how they relate to Steve/Tony, tsukinofaerii explains the multiverse like this:

What that means is that it has Canon AUs, where things happen differently but are still "canon" on their own terms. Some of these AUs are large and could be relied on as their own source, and others are barely an image and a blurb, usually called a "What If". Essentially what this means is that when Marvel wants to play with an idea that wouldn't fit in the story, they have a third option. [...] Whenever Marvel starts a new canon based off of old canon [...] it's assumed to be inextricably linked to other adaptations and the original, making a web of canons that cross and occasionally interact.[2]

The characterization of the same character in different universes can be anything from quite similar to very different, backstory, personality and other details can stay the same or be completely changed from one universe to the next. This has consequences for the fandom: Some fans might ship a a pairing or follow their favorite characters by following different canon universes, others might ship different characters in different universes[2] and others might only be interested in one universe or follow the universe rather than the character.

The universe label is usually added to the header of a fanwork. AO3 has separate universe tags for some of the bigger universes.

A list of all the named and unnamed universes can be found at the Marvel Comics Database.

Comic-Based Universes

Earth-616 (Main Continuity)

Earth-616 is the primary continuity, in which most Marvel Comics take place. The universe is based on our reality and frequently makes references to real life celebrities, politicians and events. Technology seems to be a little more advanced than in our reality and magic exists.

Some of the major superheroes (those who often have their own regular titles) include the Fantastic Four, Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Daredevil, Wolverine and Doctor Strange.

The major superhero teams are the Avengers and the X-Men. Many minor teams exists and the membership of both teams has changed very often over the years.

The first Avengers team consisted of Iron Man (Tony Stark), the Wasp (Janet Van Dyne), Giant Man/Ant Man (Hank Pym), Thor (Don Blake/Thor), the Hulk (Bruce Banner). Joined in Issue #4 by Captain America (Steve Rogers). Over time nearly all the major heroes of the 616 universe were part of the Avengers team roster.

The X-Men are a team of mutant superheroes, formed by Charles Xavier, who trained young mutants to control their power and use them for the good of humanity and fighting against the rising anti-mutant sentiments in society. The first mutants he recruited were Cyclops, Iceman, Angel, Beast and Marvel Girl.

See Marvel Comics, The Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Young Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, Hulk, Thor, Daredevil for fandom information.

Earth-1610 (Ultimate Marvel)

Earth-1610. The Ultimate Marvel universe is an imprint that was launched in 2000. It basically "reset" many of Marvel's key titles from the beginning, starting over with a clean slate and showing the characters in high school and college, gaining their powers and encountering each other and antagonists for the first time. It "is considered a more modern reboot, with simplified backgrounds for most of the characters. Unlike many of the other continuities, it stands out very much on its own. Each arc can essentially be read as a stand-alone. Ultimates is also the origin of the black Nick Fury as played by Samuel L. Jackson (Nick is white in 616). Another notable change of race is Jan, who becomes Asian in 1610."[2]

Characters who were updated include: Spider-Man (Peter Parker, who was succeeded by Miles Morales), Wolverine (Logan Howlett), the Hulk (Bruce Banner), Thor, Daredevil (Matthew Murdock), the X-Men, the Avengers, and the Fantastic Four.

Fans sometimes refer to the Marvel Ultimates universe by the shortened name ults. As with the Marvel 616 universe, Steve/Tony fanworks are incredibly prevalent. However, there are different tropes for Steve/Tony fanfiction in the Ultimates universe. Rivals to lovers, sickfic, and internalized homophobia are more common due to the source material.

See The Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Hulk, Thor, and Daredevil for additional fandom information.

The individual histories are essentially the same as in the main continuity, with less complexity and fewer dark themes."[2] Unlike many Marvel lines, every Marvel Adventures comic is designed to tell a stand-alone story.

The lines published under the Marvel Adventures imprint were Avengers, Fantastic Four, Hulk, Iron Man, and Spider-Man.

Minor Universes

Earth-2108

Civil War Ends Worse #1. "Tony died as a result of the Extremis virus, and Steve leads the world's heroes in a rebellion against the Super Human Registration Act. It doesn't go well. Without Tony, the government's response is outright villainous. Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies (If They're Lucky). Does feature Steve donning the Sentinel of Liberty Armor."[2]

Earth-2149 & Earth-91126

Two universes with Zombies. "Zombie apocalypse starts in 2149 and is transported to 91126. There was a brief crossover with 616 in the Deadpool series, wherein Deadpool's zombie head (called Headpool) was a plot point."[2]

Earth-2182 (Professor W's X-Men)

In a universe where Wolverine goes berserk and kills Professor X, he becomes the leader of a new X-Men team. Nightcrawler is his field commander. Their team consists of Nocturne (daughter of Nightcrawler and the Scarlet Witch), Kitty Pryde (16 year old version), the Phoenix Force (in Colossus' empty body), Armageddon (son of Apocalypse), and Plague (embodiment of the Legacy Virus). Also a part of the team is James Proudstar (this reality's Thunderbird).

This is the universe where Talia Wagner aka Nocturne hails from when she joins the reality-hopping Exiles team, and later lands in Earth-616.

Earth-2301

The Mangaverse. "First rule of the Mangaverse is that we don't talk about the Mangaverse. It's not a small print, but Steve is president, Tony is a head in a jar, and there are giant robot transformers."[2]

Earth-3490

Case Study: Earth-3490. The 47th peaceful model examined benefited primarily from the romantic involvement of Captain America, Steve Rogers and the Iron Woman, Natasha Stark. A deterrent to each others' more aggressive behavior, this allowed this earth's Reed Richards to successfully complete the Super Hero Registration Program and begin the Fifty State Initiative.

The universe where Tony is a girl. "At one point Reed Richards was trawling through the multiverse (as one does) looking at "peaceful alternatives" where Civil War was prevented. One of them was Earth-3490, where Civil War was prevented by the marriage of Captain America (Steve Rogers) and Iron Woman (Natasha Stark). According the one one-image panel to the right, they muted one another's aggressive tendencies, which allowed the 50 State Initiative to complete."[2]

Examples:

Earth-5556[5]

The Whoniverse from Doctor Who, according to the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z #7. Beginning in the late 90's, Marvel Comics released several comics for Doctor Who, and resulted in several crossover comics, most notably involving the character of Death's Head interacting with the Seventh Doctor.

Knowledge of Doctor Who's place in the Marvel Multiverse is incredibly rare, being seen as an obscure piece of Doctor Who lore known only to those fans who've gone down the rabbit hole to the farthest reaches of the Doctor Who Extended Universe.

Earth-9230

Civil War Ends Worse #2. "Steve was not assassinated, and instead was tried as planned. Tony is killed by Bill Foster's nephew (who blamed Tony for his uncle's death), and this is used as even more anti-hero propaganda that results in worse fighting. Earth is even less prepared for the Skrull invasion."[2]

Earth-9810

In this universe Tony Stark became Sorcerer Supreme instead of Stephen Strange.

Examples:

  • All My Yesterdays series by Penumbren. On Earth-9810, Sorcerer Supreme Tony Stark investigates an alien energy disturbance, runs into a group of friendly superheroes, and discovers a living legend. Then the villains of the piece show up for revenge and try to take what they consider theirs.

Earth-10208

Civil War Ends Happily Without Tony Being A Girl. "Instead of keeping his cards close to his chest, Tony asked Steve for help. Steve oversees Registration, ensuring that it runs smoothly, because who wouldn't trust him?"[2]
