Blackworld is a fictional location in the Marvel Universe.
Blackworld first appeared in Thor #195 (January 1972) and was created by Gerry Conway and John Buscema.
Blackworld is an extra-dimensional world resembling Earth, but where historical developments that took centuries on Earth, here they occurred within hours.
The Rigellian colonizer Tana Nile took a sample of Ego the Living Planet and bonded it to the planet Blackworld, hoping that it might aid the Rigellians in terraforming new worlds. Instead, Blackworld spawned Ego-Prime, who bore some of Ego’s power, and could dramatically accelerate evolution. On Blackworld, Tana Nile encountered Sif, Hildegarde, and sailor Silas Grant. Ego-Prime proved to be uncontrollable and sought to transform Earth to resemble Ego so that it could become a part of the bio-verse. Blackworld was subsequently destroyed in a nuclear war, while Tana Nile and her allies returned to Earth.[1]
