==Battleworld== {{Infobox fictional location | name = Battleworld | image = | image_size = | caption = | blank_label = [[:Category:Comics publishing companies|Publisher]] | blank_data = [[Marvel Comics]] | first = ''[[Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars]]'' #1 (May 1984) | creator = [[Jim Shooter]]<br>[[Mike Zeck]] | type = | people = | races = | locations = Various }} '''Battleworld''' is a fictional patchwork [[planet]] that serves as the setting in Secret Wars. There have been three Battleworlds in total. The first was created by the [[Beyonder]],<ref name="SW #1" /> the second was an imitation created by the [[Stranger (comics)|Stranger]] pretending to be the Beyonder,<ref name="Beyond!" /> and the third was created by [[Doctor Doom]] by stealing the power of the [[Beyonders]].<ref name="SW2015 #4-5" /> ===Publication history=== The first Battleworld debuted in ''Secret Wars'' (1984) #1, and was created by [[Jim Shooter]] and [[Mike Zeck]]. The second Battleworld debuted in ''[[Beyond!]]'', and was created by [[Dwayne McDuffie]] and [[Scott Kolins]]. The third Battleworld debuted in ''[[Secret Wars (2015 comic book)|Secret Wars]]'' (2015) #2, and was created by [[Jonathan Hickman]] and [[Esad Ribić]]. ===Fictional planet biography=== ====First Battleworld==== The [[Beyonder]] merged dozens of fragments from many [[planet]]s (including a suburb of [[Denver, Colorado]], from [[Earth]]), to create Battleworld, intended to provide an unfamiliar environment where all contestants could use their powers to the fullest. Many peoples, both alien and human, were brought along "for the ride" by this method; it was because of this that [[Julia Carpenter|Spider-Woman]] II was on Battleworld, as was Zsaji, the healer, who had brief romances with both the [[Human Torch]] of the [[Fantastic Four]] and [[Colossus (character)|Colossus]] of the [[X-Men]].<ref name="SW #1">''Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars'' #1. Marvel Comics.</ref> In the aftermath of ''Secret Wars'', the planet became infected with cosmic energy when the Beyonder reclaimed his stolen power from [[Doctor Doom]]. This led to a "wish fulfillment" phenomenon whereby force of will could alter reality; for example, repairing [[Captain America]]'s [[Captain America's shield|unbreakable shield]] or allowing [[Mister Fantastic]] to create a way to take them quickly home. This may be due to the Beyonder's nature as an incomplete [[Cosmic Cube]], which allows the wielder to alter reality by force of will, or was an aspect of the "heart's desire" promised by the [[Beyonder]] and granted to the winners of the ''Secret Wars.'' All the heroes left the planet, except for [[Thing (comics)|Ben Grimm]]. He stayed behind because he was able to change to and from his human form while on the planet's surface; his adventures were recounted in his own side-series while [[She-Hulk]] took his place in the Fantastic Four.<ref name="Secret Wars #12">''Secret Wars'' #12. Marvel Comics.</ref> After Ben returned home—he had defeated [[Ultron]] and slain his manifested dark side Grimm the Sorcerer—the planet had no more reason to exist and broke apart.<ref name="Thing #22">''The Thing'' #22. Marvel Comics.</ref> It is unknown whether all pieces returned to their home planets; the fragment of Colorado was ferried back to Earth with its citizens and the ''Secret Wars''' villains by [[Molecule Man]].<ref name="Secret Wars #12"/> ====Second Battleworld==== A mock Battleworld appeared in the [[miniseries]] ''[[Beyond!]]'' It was constructed by the [[Stranger (comics)|Stranger]] posing as the Beyonder for the purposes of studying various combatants from Earth under the guise of battle. This faux Battleworld was destroyed at the end of the miniseries by the departure of the irate Stranger with [[Gravity (comics)|Gravity]] holding it together long enough for his group to escape at the cost of his life.<ref name="Beyond!">''Beyond'' #1-6. Marvel Comics.</ref> Gravity was later resurrected by [[Epoch (comics)|Epoch]] as the new Protector of the Universe.<ref>''Fantastic Four'' #545 (2007). Marvel Comics.</ref> ====Third Battleworld==== A third Battleworld appeared in the 2015 series ''[[Secret Wars (2015 comic book)|Secret Wars]]''. Before the incursions destroyed the [[Multiverse (Marvel Comics)|Multiverse]], [[Doctor Doom]], the [[Molecule Man]], and [[Doctor Strange]] had defied the godlike entities behind the catastrophe: the [[Beyonders]]. Doctor Doom used a secret weapon made up of a multitudinous number of Molecule Men to defeat these Beyonders and usurp their omnipotence for himself.<ref name="SW2015 #4-5">''Secret Wars'' #4-5. Marvel Comics.</ref> Afterwards, he salvaged the remaining realities and merged them into Battleworld, made in his own image and filled with mindwiped residents who worshipped him as God Emperor. In truth, it was actually the Molecule Man who had absorbed the Beyonders' power and Doom was being lent it. To hide this, Doom kept the Molecule Man hidden away and claimed that he had died.<ref name="SW2015 #4-5" /> Battleworld was divided into domains which are ruled by an appointed "[[Baron]]" or a "Baroness"; while most domains have the ability to interact with each other, the borders of each domain are clearly defined and travel between different domains is discouraged as it requires special dispensation from the local Baron or from God Emperor Doom himself. Only the Deadlands (which contains the [[Marvel Zombies]]), Perfection (which contains the [[Ultron]] Sentinels), and New Xandar (which contains the [[Annihilation (comics)|Annihilation Wave]]) are separated from the rest by the Shield (a giant version of [[Ben Grimm]]) because each contains threats that if loosed would destroy the other domains. Battleworld is protected by the [[Thor Corps]] who serve as Battleworld's police force and answer to God Emperor Doom.<ref>''Secret Wars'' #2. Marvel Comics.</ref> Battleworld is [[Geocentric model|orbited]] by a small [[Sun]], in fact the [[Human Torch]], consigned to the role for acting against Doctor Doom.<ref>''Secret Wars'' #3. Marvel Comics.</ref> [[Knowhere]] acts as Battleworld's [[moon]].<ref>''Guardians of Knowhere'' #1. Marvel Comics.</ref> Besides these two and Battleworld itself, there were originally no more celestial bodies in its universe until Singularity, a mysterious young girl who actually represents a pocket universe that gained sentience during the multiversal collapse, appears to give her life to save the citizens of Arcadia from a horde of Zombies which made the stars appear in the sky.<ref>''A-Force'' #5. Marvel Comics.</ref> This Battleworld would eventually collapse<ref>''Weirdworld'' #5. Marvel Comics.</ref> after God Emperor Doom's Beyonders' power was transferred to [[Mister Fantastic|Reed Richards]], who was considered by Doom himself and Molecule Man to be more worthy, and rectified the artificial reality.<ref>''Secret Wars'' #9. Marvel Comics.</ref> As part of the "[[All-New, All-Different Marvel]]" event, it is revealed that the reality where Battleworld was fashioned was identified as [[Secret Wars (2015 comic book)|Earth-15513]] and became a distorted portion of time and space after the destruction of the planet, however due to Battleworld's reality having been the epicenter of this Multiversal renewal, it became rich in a substance known as Iso-8, a material identified as the byproduct of creation itself. When the Elders of the Universe of the restored Earth-616 realized that the Multiverse had endured a death and a rebirth, the [[Collector (comics)|Collector]] and [[Grandmaster (Marvel Comics)|Grandmaster]] discovered the remnants of Battleworld and resolved to fight for the possession of the Iso-8 and used the broken shell as the arena (known as Battlerealm) for their Contest of Champions, a competition where several individuals, taken from Battleworld and the reborn Multiverse, fought to the death on behalf of each Elder. The highest prize was the Iso-Sphere which contained within the Power Primordial, the concentrated and most powerful form of the Iso-8.<ref>''Contest of Champions'' (vol. 2) #1. Marvel Comics.</ref> After assuming control of the Power Primordial that the Grandmaster and Collector were competing for, the Battleworld version of [[Maestro (comics)|Maestro]] recreates Battleworld to its previous form as he had previously vowed that he would become the God-King of Battleworld.<ref>{{Cite comic|writer = Al Ewing|penciller = Paco Medina|inker = Juan Vlasco|colorist = David Curiel|letterer = VC's Joe Sabino|editor = Mark Paniccia and Chris Robinson|story = God Mode|title = Contest of Champions|volume = 2|issue = #6|date = 24 March 2016|publisher = Marvel Comics|location = United States}}</ref> To combat the remaining players, Maestro summoned the remnants of the Avengers and Thunderbolts from an alternate reality where Iron Man became [[President of the United States]] after winning the [[Civil War (comics)|superhuman civil war]] as well as summoning Sentry of Earth-1611 to deal with the remaining Contest of Champions competitors.<ref name="ReferenceA">''Contest of Champions'' (vol. 2) #10. Marvel Comics.</ref> When the Iso-Sphere was stolen from Maestro by Outlaw, he used its power to banish Maestro from Battleworld and teleport the contestants to wherever they wanted to be. As a consequence of Outlaw wishing that the Contest of Champions end, the Iso-Sphere shattered. A group of the contestants decided to remain in Battleworld, forming the Civil Warriors to guard the Iso-8 and the shards of the Iso-Sphere.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> ===Known locations=== ====First Battleworld's locations==== {{expand section|date=December 2017}} * '''[[Baxter Building]]''' - A replica of the Baxter Building where Thing had his final battle with Grimm the Sorcerer.<ref name="Thing #22"/> * '''Leenn''' - A location of Battleworld taken from Thing's subconscious that was based on Latveria.
