Secret Wars: Breaking Down The 40 Regions Of Battleworld
10. Arcadia
The debate, then, is whether Killville is the homestead of Arcade, or if Arcadia is. Killville seems more in line with his modus operandi; Arcadia with his, erm, name, which is slightly more shaky. Arcadia as a location has also not really appeared in Marvel before, but it is a name associated with a real life place. It's a region in Ancient Greece, described in the "catalogue of ships" of The Iliad, and an important location in Greek mythology. There's also a bunch of cities in the US called Arcadia, and the name's also been used for countless fictional utopias and utopian ideals over the centuries, so what it actually is in Battleworld is anyone's guess.
