If you're a new reader to Marvel Omega, you probably have some questions about the group even after going through some of the series and the continuity. This page serves as a place where you can find answers to the questions most frequently asked by people who are new to the site or interested in checking it out.

1) What's Marvel Omega all about?

Marvel Omega is a fan fiction group dedicated to the Marvel Comics universe. Our series are set in the regular Marvel continuity, cutting off from it after the Hunt For Xavier storyline in the X-Men titles.

2) What's this I hear about the group once being part of Marvel-X?

Marvel-X is the group where many of our X-Men and related titles were born, but in October of 2003 we split amicably due to different visions for this section of the group. As a result of the split, our site Marvel-X Underground, which featured all the X-Men titles, was renamed Marvel Omega, and we've since branched out to non-X series to create a full-blown Marvel fan fiction group.

3) What happened to all the other Marvel-X series? What about their connection to Marvel Omega's continuity?

Luckily for us, Marvel-X's X-Men titles were really not connected to the non-X-titles that much, so it was easy for our branch to split off without disrupting any of the continuity in either group. Marvel Omega's continuity was streamlined to a good crop of X-titles to make way for all-new series for titles such as Avengers and Fantastic Four.

4) If the non-X-titles at Marvel Omega don't start until after October 2003, when is the cut-off for those series?

The non-X-titles all pick up from some point during Mavel's 2003 continuity, though it will vary from series to series.

5) I'm still sort of lost with all this continuity. Can you give me a run-down of the group's history?

The easiest way to familiarize yourself with the group's history is to check out the Continuity page, which features a timeline that shows all the major events from 1999-2002. Also, just ask us by posting a message in our forum. We're always willing to help.

6) What's up with the Ultimate titles? What's the cut-off for them from Marvel's Ultimate books?

There isn't one. Marvel Omega's Ultimate titles use the same concept as Marvel's Ultimate titles, which is to launch classic Marvel characters from ground zero. Only this time, instead of people like Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Millar reimagining the characters, Marvel Omega's writers are the ones doing it.

7) I'm still confused, does that mean that the Ultimate books are in a shared universe? Because they don't seem to interact at all.

Unlike Marvel, our Ultimate titles are not in a shared universe. Each Ultimate book takes place in its own, separate universe. 

8) I'm interested in writing for Marvel Omega. How do I submit a proposal?

Check out the Submissions page, it'll tell you everything you need to do.

9) I've heard about DC Omega and Ultimate Omega. Are these sites affiliated with Marvel Omega?

They were. DC Omega was intended to be a sister site to Marvel Omega featuring, obviously, DC characters. Unfortunately, a low number of writers caused the site to close its doors. Ultimate Omega has been discussed a few times, combining all the different comic universes, such as Marvel, DC, Wildstorm, Image, Dark Horse, etc., into one shared universe and giving it the Ultimate treatment. But the site never got off the ground.
