Madripoor
Madripoor is an island off the coast of Southeast Asia. It’s a seedy place full of the most despicable people in the world. Imagine Las Vegas if it was run by villains and no one dared to threaten them. Some of the most ruthless people have been in charge. Viper was the ruler of Madripoor for a time. To even say her name would bring unwanted attention. If she caught you, you could end up dead or become her servant.
There were even tournaments to decide who the best fighter in the world was. While some of the stipulations varied, death was always a way to become victorious. Some people preferred to kill their opponents.
Madripoor is a great place to live if you’re looking to become a criminal. There is also nothing in Madripoor that you can’t find. Drugs, sex, gambling and all kinds of unspeakable shenanigans are available for the right price.
However, if you don’t pay up, it’ll cost you your head. If you’re a villain looking to make it big, you better hope that Viper catches you and gives you a quick death. Because if Wolverine catches you it may not be a swift end. We can add Madripoor to the list of places you may not want to go. However, it’s still better than the Walking Dead universe.
