Heliopolis is a fictional location in the Marvel Universe. It first appeared in Thor #240 (Oct 1975),[1] and was created by Roy Thomas and Sal Buscema.

Heliopolis is a celestial city in a dimension adjacent to Earth's, founded by the gods who were once worshipped in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis. This godly realm appears to be built upon a small planetary object much like the realm of Asgard, and its passage to earth is a golden bridge through space called the Path of the Gods.[2]
