10 Most Dangerous Places To Live In The Marvel Universe
9. Madripoor
Madripoor is the name for both the island nation located in Southeast Asia and its capital city. The city is divided into two areas: the ultra-wealthy Hightown and the crime-ridden and impoverished Lowtown.
The lawless nature of Madripoor’s past as a haven for pirates continues to this day. Madripoor does not allow the extradition of criminals. This made it a haven for many criminals. Paybacks to the Chancellor, who handles the daily operations of the government or the reigning member of the royal family were common. Gangsters like Tyger Tiger run the gangs of Lowtown and Viper and the Hand has brought their ninjas to the island. One of the oases in Lowtown is the Princess Bar. It’s run by Patch, an alias for Wolverine who bought half ownership in the bar years ago.
Madripoor is easily one of the most dangerous cities on Earth. Lowtown is filled with modern-day pirates, ninjas, and gangs of every stripe. The Mutants of Krakoa have recently tried to establish a safe haven there and have been violently opposed. There are also crimes of a whole different variety to deal with in Hightown. Corporate raiding, commodities theft, and financial crimes of every kind.
