There was also another event called Secret Wars in 2015. Without going into too much detail, various alternate universes were collapsing into each other (because comics). The main Marvel universe tried to stop it, they failed and everything got destroyed. Doctor Doom stole power from the Beyonders and used it to save bits and pieces of various universes and patched them together to create Battle World. Where he ruled supreme.Secret wars is like 1992 or 1994? I recall cos I had it as a kid, my mother bought it for me, the collection at least the comics themselves were late 80s X-Men shoulda been separated as as universe tho tvh
The whole event was really a chance to various tie-in stories that they really couldn't do, like various versions of Thor acting like a police force, Ghost Riders taking part in a massive race and a massive wall protecting Battle World from the Marvel Zombies. (Incidentally, there was another storyline with the Zombies teamed up with Ultron to become cybernetic zombies).
Eventually, Mr Fantastic was able to defeat Doctor Doom and with the Invisible Woman and their kids, they went off for a few years to rebuild the universes destroyed in the event. The failure of the 2015 film likely resulted in Marvel wanting to the group to stay off the radar for a while.
