Did "War of the Worlds" occur on Earth-616?
Did "War of the Worlds," ie the 1901 Martian invasion of Earth, occur on Earth-616, or just on Earth-691 (Killraven/Guardians of the Galaxy)?

Yes, the Martians invaded Earth in Earth-616's past. Off the top of my head, recent references to this include the Original Sin Annual and All-New Invaders. There is a discrepancy on WHEN it happened, but yes, the Martians invaded.

I would point out that whatever Martian "attacks" (on London) took place on Earth-616 in 1917 and "a decade" earlier were apparently much smaller in scale than the "invasion" which occurred on Earth-691 in 1901. As far as I know, nobody has ever written a story that fully reveals the history of "Martian" interaction with Earth-616. Plus, there are various conflicting accounts of Martian history which have never been reconciled.

What about Marvel Classics Comics #14? Is it 616? 691? Neither?

As far as I know, Marvel Classics Comics #14 has never been referenced in any story set on either Earth-616 or Earth-691. It's possible (or probable) that it, like other comic book adaptations of classic stories, may exist on its own separate Earth.vanhornluke wrote:What about Marvel Classics Comics #14? Is it 616? 691?

Was "War of the Worlds" one of the stories Deadpool traveled through in Deadpool Killustrated?
