History:
(Marvel Apes I#2 (fb) - BTS) - At some point, Vision joined Captain America's Ape-Vengers, unaware he was the Nazi vampire John Falsworth.
(Marvel Apes I#2) - Following the trial of Doctor Ooktopus, Vision was seen at Ape-Vengers Tower as Captain America introduced himself to Earth-616's Dr. Fiona Fitzhugh, who had become stranded on the ape world alongside the Gibbon.
(Avengers IX#17/2 - BTS) - When Atleza Langunn's multiversal subset began to decay, she concluded the cause lay in Earth-616's Deadpool and Wolverine not being best friends, unlike their counterparts in all other realities. Seeking to "correct" this flaw, she dispatched the pair on a quest to fulfill their destined bond. Lacking understanding, Deadpool and Wolverine instead embarked on a murderous rampage across the multiverse, killing every being they encountered in hopes of eliminating the source of the decay.
(Avengers IX#17/2) - Four of the Ape-Vengers (Hawkape, Black Widorangutan, Black Panther, and Huhr), fell victim to Deadpool and Wolverine's bloody campaign, slain in battle while fellow Ape-Vengers Vision, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and "Wonder Ape" looked on, likely meeting the same fate soon after.
(X-Men VII#2/2 - BTS) - When Earth-616's Deadpool and Wolverine proved incapable of restoring the multiverse, Atleza Langunn recruited superior variants of the pair, merging into a singular being able to halt the decay. In doing so, the multiverse was restored, resurrecting Vision and all those slain during the rampage.
Comments: Created by Karl Kesel.
Although Vision wasn't seen playing any key parts in the Marvel Apes comics he would most likely have gone up against formidable Ape-Vengers foes such as Kong the Conqueror, the Mad Thinker and Ooktron.
The Marvel Apes limited series (2008) was conceived as a playful companion to the earlier Marvel Zombies phenomenon. Following the unexpected commercial success of Zombies, Marvel looked to replicate the formula by reimagining its superheroes in another offbeat, high-concept alternate reality. Writer Karl Kesel, inspired by Silver Age whimsy and the classic "What If?" tradition, pitched a world where Marvel's heroes and villains were evolved primates rather than humans. The project was greenlit as a four-issue miniseries, launching with a tongue-in-cheek promotional campaign that leaned into its absurdity while still delivering a surprisingly dark, satirical storyline. The series spawned several tie-ins and one-shots, positioning the Ape-Verse as both a parody of and homage to Marvel's multiverse storytelling.
Earth-8101 is the main Marvel Apes reality, but there are three others as well:
- Earth-81218, possible future of Earth-8101 set in the year 2099.
- Earth-90543, monkey Speedball was send back to his world and branded a traitor by the Ape-Vengers. This was a bad dream of the Gibbon.
- Earth-95019, diverged from 8101 when zombies invaded their world. The reset button was eventually pushed on the original Earth-8101, preventing the divergence.
