Tokyo 2099
Tokyo 2099 is a component of the future continuity within the main Marvel events. Marvel 2099, a comic series from 1992, initially didn't explicitly establish its connection to the future of the primary Marvel universe. It comprised three main books showcasing future versions of familiar characters: Doom 2099, Spider-Man 2099, and Punisher 2099. Additionally, there is the comic Ravage 2099, which introduces a cast of entirely new characters created by Stan Lee.
Overall, Tokyo 2099 holds significant relevance within the Marvel universe, promising to include numerous intriguing details and references that enrich the universe's lore.
