===Ultimate Marvel===
In the [[Ultimate Marvel]] universe, the Savage Land is a large island somewhere in the southern hemisphere. It was originally stated in ''[[Ultimate Origins]]'' to have been created by [[Magneto (Marvel Comics)|Magneto]], using theories and methods developed by [[Professor X]], as the site for genetic experiments. Magneto's goal there was to create a new human race who would be less trouble to rule than the current one. He decided to restart evolution from scratch, and control the process to his own specifications. As a result of this, at its current level of advancement it has dinosaurs, but Magneto has shown no further interest in advancing the evolution of the Savage Land.<ref>''Ultimate Origins'' #3. Marvel Comics.</ref> It has remained in its dinosaur state since the departure of Professor X. This story is later revealed as false.

Magneto's original base was on the Savage Land, but when it was destroyed in the first arc of ''[[Ultimate X-Men]]'',<ref>''Ultimate X-Men'' #6. Marvel Comics.</ref> the computer controlling the base gained self-awareness, and hijacked the genetic experiment project to create an army of [[Phalanx (comics)|nanotech-enhanced, zombie-like thralls]]. It planned to take over the world, but was stopped by [[Wolverine (character)|Wolverine]], [[Cyclops (Marvel Comics)|Cyclops]], and [[Kitty Pryde]].

The Savage Land is now the home of [[Longshot (Marvel Comics)|Longshot]], who managed to get there in a small boat which launched from [[Genosha]]. Longshot recently aided Magneto in breaking out of prison, and the two were alluded to be planning something, but Magneto later killed Longshot.<ref>''Ultimatum'' #3. Marvel Comics.</ref>

In ''[[Ultimates]] 3'', it is revealed that the dinosaurs were conjured by [[Scarlet Witch]] as a result of her reality warping abilities and not by Magneto's creation. The aboriginal inhabitants were wiped out and only a small tribe of survivors including Ka-Zar and Shanna remain.<ref>''Ultimates 3'' #3-4. Marvel Comics.</ref>
