    the Avengers, theFantastic Four, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and X-Men, and antagonists such
    as Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, Kingpin, Magneto, Doctor Doom, Loki, Thanos, and the Red Skull.
    Most of Marvel's fictional characters operate in a single reality known as the Marvel Universe, with
    locations that mirror real-life cities. Characters such as Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the
    Avengers, Daredevil, and Dr. Strange are based in New York City, whereas the X-Men have
    historically been based in Salem Center, New York, and the Hulk's stories often have been set in
