In other media

Television

• In Fantastic Four, the Microverse made an appearance in the 1994 animated series which was shown in the episode "World Within Worlds". It was an inhabited dimension with a world ruled by the Psycho-Man that used Element M to power his psycho-technology. Mister Fantastic discovered it where he retrieved a sample of Element M with this attracting the attention of the Psycho-Man. He managed to use his technology to take control of the Invisible Woman and turning her into the villainous Malice who accompanied to his sub-atomic world. The Fantastic Four used the reductocaft to travel to the Psycho-Man's world in order to free Susan Storm.
• In Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes, the Microverse was mentioned and had a brief appearance in the episode "World's Tiniest Heroes". Its was studied by Reed Richards who learnt of an entire universe that existed between atoms. Richards conducted an experiment in matter reduction where he sent a probe into the Microverse to study it for an eventual exploration of that universe. The mini-Fantasticar absorbed some remnant Microverse energy that the Fantastic Four were exposed to causing them to gradually shrink to atomic size. Dr. Henry Pym (Ant-Man) stated that he had discovered it prior but had named it Sub-Atomica though Mister Fantastic contested this designation stating that he preferred Microverse as they already had a Subterranea. After shrinking to microscopic size, Mister Fantastic was able to manipulate atoms to restore the Fantastic Four back to normal size.

Films

• In Ant-Man, though the Micorverse was not referenced in the live-action movie set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe there was a dimension introduced called the Quantum Realm. It could be accessed through shrinking by means of Pym Particles and was a area where all concepts of time as well as space became irrelevant with an individual potentially being lost for all eternity within it. During the Cold War, Janet van Dyne intentional broke her suits Regulator allowing her to shrink to deactivate a bomb but became lost in the quantum realm. Scott Lang similarly broke his Regulator and began shrinking into the Quantum Realm where he lost consciousness but was saved with him being returned to normal size.
