Limbo is the name for three alien dimensions from the Marvel Universe.

Contents

Limbo (Immortus)

Timeless dimension ruled by Immortus, caretaker of the timestream for seventy centuries (including the 20th). In Limbo, time is not linear, and as such things may remain frozen, move backwards or forwards, or even change without warning. (Fortunately, this effect does not seem to extend to beings from linear time.) It is a vantage point from which all other time periods and timelines may be seen, and is the home of several other races and beings, including the giant Tempus (a creation of Immortus), the time-lost Space Phantoms, the "Limbo Bugs," and aerial Limbic Infundibula.

Limbo (Belasco)

Demon dimension, where time and space fold in on themselves. It was ruled by the wizard Belasco for some time. He was later expelled by the Darkchilde, Illyana Rasputin. She came to rule using the Soulsword, but that dominion was tenuous and perpetually undermined by demons including S'ym and Nastir'h. The techno-organic infection of the Technarchy made its way here (by accident) thanks to Illyana, turning several demons (including S'ym) into beings of living circuitry. Limbo was apparently multiversally connected, as a group of X-Men from an alternate timeline also found their way here, before being claimed by the dimension's demonic nature.

Limbo nearly merged with Earth thanks to the machinations of S'ym and his manipulation of Illyana in her most demonic aspect, but the plan was ruined by the various X-teams in what was called the Inferno crisis.

Alternate Timelines

In one divergent timeline, the merging succeeded, but the planet was purified by Phoenix- just before the Living Tribunal would have obliterated that Earth.

Limbo (Rom)

Interdimensional void where Rom exiled Dire Wraiths when he defeated them. This dimension is connected to the timeless Limbo.

Comments

Some more recent stories seem to assume that Immortus' Limbo and Rom's Limbo are one and the same. For example, Dire Wraiths were part of Immortus' army during the Timequake crisis.

In the Earth X universe, all three Limbos are the same dimension.
