===''What If?''===
Some issues of ''[[What If (comics)|What If?]]'' revolve around the Secret Wars:

* "Brave New World" by [[Jay Faerber]] and Gregg Schigiel explored what would happen if the heroes became stranded on Battleworld<ref name="Nov 1998">[[Faerber, Jay]] (w), Schigiel, Gregg, ''[[What If (comics)|What If?]]'' (vol. 2) #114 (Nov. 1998). Marvel Comics.</ref> after Galactus and the Beyonder destroy each other in battle. The battle continues for a while, but after the deaths of Bulldozer, Captain Marvel, Cyclops, Doctor Octopus, Kang, Magneto, and Spider-Woman, both sides declare peace. The Hulk heads into the wilderness to find a way to get everyone back home while Doctor Doom builds a replica of his Latverian castle. The Enchantress disappears, Mister Fantastic somehow dies, and Spider-Man's black costume causes him to turn cold and accelerates his aging to the point of becoming a skeleton. Eventually, some of the inhabitants have children who inherit some of their powers including Bravado (the son of Thor and Enchantress), Chokehold (the daughter of Absorbing Man and Titania), Crusader (the daughter of Captain America and Rogue), Firefly (the son of Human Torch and Wasp), Gator (the son of Lizard), Malefactor (the son of Doctor Doom and Enchantress making him the half-brother of Bravado), Moleculon (the son of Molecule Man and Volcana), Mustang (the son of Hawkeye and She-Hulk), Raze (the son of Wrecker), and Torrent (the son of Storm and Wolverine). By Bravado's 18th birthday, Malefactor disposes of his father and gathers Chokehold, Gator, Klaw, Moleculon, and Raze in a plot to take over Battleworld. Bravado, Crusader, Firefly, Mustang, Torrent, and the heroes and reformed villains defeat them. The Hulk and Doctor Doom (who faked his death when Malefactor attacked him) return to help end the conflict. The Hulk has used 30th century technology from the deceased Kang to create a portal that will take everyone home with the help of Thor's hammer. Uatu soon appears and warns them of the bad thing that will happen if they return to Earth. Though the adults call off the trip, the younger heroes sneak out at night and end up on Earth, which is overrun with [[Sentinel (comics)|Sentinel]]s. The five agree to stay on Earth as the Avengers and liberate Earth.<ref name="Nov 1998"/> On a related note, these five had appeared in the ''[[Avengers Forever|Destiny War]]'' storyline.
* In another alternate universe, Doctor Doom retains the Beyonder's power and takes over the universe.<ref>''What If...? Secret Wars'' (vol. 7) (February 2009). Marvel Comics.</ref>

===''Spider-Man: Life Story''===
In ''Spider-Man: Life Story'', which depicts an alternate version of the Marvel Universe (designated Earth-19529) where characters aged in real time and debuted in the same year as their first issue publications, the Secret Wars began in 1984 when a number of United States-based superheroes were transported to Battleworld by the Beyonder. This causes the start of the "Russian War" (the [[World War III]] of this reality) on Earth due to the absence of the majority of America's superheroes. Among them was Spider-Man, who received the Venom symbiote/black costume like his Earth-616 counterpart.<ref>''Spider-Man: Life Story'' #3: "Our Secret Wars", Chip Zdarsky. Marvel Comics.</ref>
