Marvel 2099 is a Marvel Comics imprint, begun in 1993, that explores one possible future of the Marvel Universe. It was originally announced by Stan Lee in his Stan's Soapbox column as a single series entitled The Marvel World of Tomorrow which was being developed by Lee and John Byrne. This later changed to a line of books under the banner Marvel 2093 (the date being one hundred years from the year in which the titles launched) before finally being published as Marvel 2099. The first three titles launched, Spider-Man 2099, The Punisher 2099, Doom 2099, starred futuristic takes on pre-existing characters while the latter, Ravage 2099, featured an all-new superhero, scripted for several months by Stan Lee.

Setting and publication history

The world of 2099 is a cyberpunk dystopia, similar to the world of Blade Runner. North America is a corporate police state ruled by a few huge megacorps, most notably Alchemax, which owns the private police force the Public Eye, which primarily punishes criminals' bank accounts. There were, prior to the launch of the comics, no active superheroes in this world, and the previous heroes are mythologized through religion, as with the Church of Thor. The present-day Marvel continuity is referred to as an "Age of Heroes" that abruptly ended in a catastrophe a century before which also set back society. Berlins Sony Center reflects the global reach of a Japanese corporation. ... This article is about the philosophical concept and literary form. ... This article is about the 1982 film. ...

The initial universe began with Spider-Man 2099, Ravage 2099, Doom 2099 and The Punisher 2099 being launched in subsequent months. Peter David wrote Spider-Man for the bulk of the series, and it was consistently the most popular series.^{[original research?]} It satirized corporations, with Spider-Man constantly clashing with Alchemax, which employed him in his secret identity and was run by his father. Stan Lee wrote the first eight issues of Ravage as an extremely political story about corruption, corporate pollution and the environment. After Lee left, he was replaced by a series of writers who failed to provide consistent direction for the book. Doom, believing himself to be the true Doctor Doom, began a lengthy quest to re-conquer Latveria. The Punisher largely dealt with corporate crimes and people who were rich enough to buy their way out of any other punishment.

Fans requested further titles, and Marvel provided X-Men 2099. They also introduced a Hulk 2099 in the series 2099 Unlimited, which featured occasional Spider-Man 2099 stories, as well as early work by Warren Ellis. The comics had a strong degree of innerconnectivity that was similar to comics published by Marvel in the 1960s due to the imprint's editor Joey Cavalieri. The only cross-title crossover within the 2099 universe, The Fall of the Hammer, detailed a plot by the corporations to technologically recreate the Norse pantheon, along with a new Thor, to divert attention away from the anti-corporate superheroes.

The 2099 series expanded to include Ghost Rider 2099, about a hero whose consciousness had been downloaded into a robotic body. Hulk 2099 was also given a brief chance at his own series. As sales began to flag on all titles besides Spider-Man and X-Men, Marvel commissioned ideas from various writers, including a proposal by Grant Morrison and Mark Millar, before accepting Warren Ellis's idea that Doom 2099, revealed to be, in fact, Victor Von Doom, would take over the United States. Each title had the modifier "A.D." ("After Doom") added on the logo to reflect the change. The new storyline allowed Marvel to cancel several low-selling titles (Hulk, Ravage and The Punisher). The in-universe reason for the heroes deaths was that Doom sent Ravage into exile in space, and President Rogers (an imposter Captain America who was instated after Doom was violently ousted from office) ordered the execution of the Punisher, Hulk, and a handful of low-tier heroes who'd appeared in 2099 Unlimited.

In 1996 when Marvel, during a cost-cutting exercise, fired Cavalieri, many of the 2099 creators (including Peter David and Warren Ellis) quit the line in protest. With the line floundering, two additional titles were launched: X-Nation 2099, a spin-off of X-Men 2099 and Fantastic Four 2099, which featured characters who were apparently the present day Fantastic Four accidentally sent into the future. X-Nation 2099 was a comic book series created by Marvel Comics for their 2099 series. ...

Around this time, Doom 2099 became the only 2099 comic to crossover with a present-day Marvel comic when he travelled back to 1996 and met Namor, Daredevil and the Fantastic Four in a story partially told in Fantastic Four #412. Spider-Man 2099 met the original Spider-Man in a special one-shot issue, making them the only characters to meet their counterparts.

After sales slumped, the 2099 titles were cancelled and replaced by 2099: World of Tomorrow, a single title featuring the surviving characters from all the titles. The title lasted only eight issues before being cancelled.

The 2099 line was concluded with a one-shot, 2099: Manifest Destiny (Mar. 1998), in which Captain America was found in suspended animation and, with Miguel O'Hara, assembled various 2099 heroes into a new team of Avengers. The story summarised the years from 2099 to 3099, with humanity transforming the corporate world of 2099 into a utopia and then expanding into space. In the American comic book industry, the term one-shot is used to denote a pilot comic or a stand-alone story created to last as one issue. ...

The 2099 world has been seen occasionally since, most notably in Peter David's "Future Tense" storyline in Captain Marvel, which revisited both Spider-Man 2099 and the alternate future of the Maestro that David created in The Incredible Hulk: Future Imperfect, explaining a plot point which had been left dangling since David had abruptly left Spider-Man.
