The Marvel Comics anthology series What If? tells alternate reality stories outside mainstream Marvel Universe continuity, which the company sets on what it calls Earth-616. A number of these stories have been set on alternate Earths in the Marvel Comics Multiverse (i.e., multiple universes) for which Marvel has given official numerical designations.
What If was revived again for six one-shot comics cover-dated February 2005 based, according to What If? editor Justin Gabrie, on a suggestion by C. B. Cebulski.[1] Although several followed the traditional style of narration by the Watcher, two titles written by Brian Michael Bendis — What if Karen Page Had Lived? and What If Jessica Jones Had Joined the Avengers? — replaced the Watcher as host with a representation of himself. Also, another story showed a conversation between a comic shop customer and worker, where the customer posed the question, What if Aunt May had died instead of Uncle Ben? This idea had been visited previously in the original What If...? series, though, under the title What if Uncle Ben had Lived? It follows an altogether different course of events in the 2005 incarnation.
Another series of six one-shots was released cover-dated February 2006, but these more closely resembled their DC Comics equivalent, Elseworlds. While traditionally, What If...? posed a specific question and told a story based on a divergence from regular continuity via a different outcome of a specific event, Elseworlds are usually simply new continuities that tell stories which are alternative versions of established characters based around the different time period or location the story is set in (for example, Superman: Red Son, in which Superman was raised in the Soviet Union instead of the United States).
