Alternate Reality Versions[]

Earth is the Man-Thing's Swamp (Earth-5560)[]

Earth-5560 from Marvel Knights Millennial Visions Vol 1 1 0001

The death of Ellen Brandt left the Man-Thing weak and vulnerable, allowing an attack from Mister Termineus to destroy the Nexus of All Realities. This caused the Man-Thing's Swamp to engulf the entire planet and kill all other beings on it except for the Man-Thing himself.[2]

Humorverse (Earth-9047)[]

In Earth-9047, the Man-Thank and his alligator pet[3] inhabit a swamp where he is visited by an array of people, most of whom do not even notice the mostly-motionless Man-Thank unless he decides to be noticed.[4] The Man-Thank sometimes leaves the swamp and visits other locations.[5]

Man-Thing Film (Earth-58460)[]

The Man-Thing's Swamp

In Earth-58460, the Man-Thing's Swamp is in Bywater near New Orleans, Louisiana, not in the Everglades, Florida. It is a sacred Seminole land including an area traditionally known as the Nexus of All Realities, and the guardian spirit known as the Man-Thing tries to protect the area against defilers. When oil-drilling entrepreneur Frederic Schist murdered Native American chieftain Theodore Sallis in order to steal the tribal land and then buried Sallis in the sacred land, Sallis returned as the swamp-dwelling monster the Man-Thing and murdered several of Schist's allies until he reached Schist himself. He finally murdered Schist and buried himself again in the swamp.[6]
