Template:Infobox comics location Negative Zone Prison Alpha is the name of a fictional prison in Marvel Comics. It is also referred to as Prison 42, Wonderland, and Fantasy Island.

History

With the recent Civil War Event, a new maximum-security prison for superpowered individuals was created by the government in the very place that no superhuman could escape from unaided — the Negative Zone. The Prison was nicknamed 'Fantasy Island' by its inmates and 'Prison 42' by its designers, Tony Stark & Reed Richards, as it had been their 42nd idea out of a hundred for 'A Safer America' after the Stamford Disaster. Although it suffered one major breakout from the Secret Avengers, causing the release of all of its unregistered superheroes, Tom Brevoort has stated that 'Project 42' remains a prison for particularly powerful supervillains, while for regulars 'There's still the Raft and Riker's Island.'[1]

It was later revealed in Civil War: Front Line that it had never been intended for anyone other than supervillains, and that the heroes imprisoned there would have been released once the war was over.[2]

In the War of Kings storyline, the Negative Zone prison is later attacked by Blastaar.[3]

  • In Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, the Negative Zone plays an important part. It contains "Prison 42", the prison for unregistered heroes and the nanite-controlled supervillains. It is the place where the Fold has first become active. Nick Fury had to self-destruct Prison 42 to keep the Fold from invading Earth. A news cutscene in either of the two endings mentioned confirmation of Prison 42's destruction.
