STRANGER's LABORATORY/PRISON WORLD

Official Name: Stranger's laboratory world

Aliases: The Prison Planet, Stranger's homeworld, Stranger's prison planet;
    it was referred to as Magneto's prison planet, but that meant is was the prison planet in/on which Magneto was contained

Nature: Extraterrestrial world

Natives: None known

    The Stranger has a number of security systems and defense mechanisms throughout his world. The Stranger has noted that hundreds had failed to penetrate his security in a millennium (see comments). Those known to overcome his security systems include the space pirate Nebula, the Over-Mind (Grom), and the Toad (Mortimer Toynbee);
    Eon warned Quasar to be cautious of the Stranger's planetary defense shields, which the forewarned Quasar than easily bypassed;
    many of the habitats/containment environments/etc. were not visible from higher up in the atmosphere, apparently indicating some sort of camouflage technology was present

Nature/Properties: Various/varying (see comments)

History:

(Quasar#16 (fb) - "Many galactic revolutions ago" (see comments), the Stranger  first began collecting specimens for experiments regarding the nature of life in the universe.

(Quasar I#56) - The Stranger occupied his base for "eons."

(Starblast#4 (fb)) - For many millennia, the Stranger used a laboratory planet that served as his home base.

(Avengers I#317 (fb) - BTS) - The Stranger obtained the powerful Infinity Union and stored the device deep within his "homeworld."

(X-Men I#11 - BTS) - After investigating Earth and encountering the X-Men and Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, the Stranger transported himself, Magneto, and the Toad into space, announcing that they would never return.

(X-Men I#18 (fb)) - During the Stranger's absence, at least, Magneto and Toad had been allowed to roam at will because the entire planet was their prison. Frustrated with his imprisonment, Magneto traveled to the "graveyard of old spaceships," where he reactivated the old and apparently useless atomic piles of an inactive ship and flew it back to Earth, leaving the Toad behind. (X-Men I#18 (fb) - BTS) - Xavier mentally contacted the Stranger and informed him of Magneto's escape and his presence on Earth. (X-Men I#18 - BTS) - Informed of Magneto's escaped by Charles Xavier (aka Professor X), the Stranger returned to Earth. Learning of this, Magneto fled, and the Stranger pursued.

(Avengers I#47 (fb) - BTS) - The Stranger returned Magneto to his laboratory world. (X-Men Forever I#3) - The Stranger studied numerous specimens in his "zoo," including Magneto and the Toad.     Via future manipulation of Prosh, the sentient form of the ship that had served X-Factor and Cable, the mind of Toad's future self briefly occupied Toad's form, causing to reexamine how he would squander the opportunities that would be presented to him. After Toad's mind went further into the past, his present self had no memory of the occupation or insight gained.

(X-Men I#18 (fb)) - Months after bringing Magneto and the Toad to his prison/lab world, the Stranger departed to survey other worlds. (Avengers#2.1 - BTS) - The Stranger traveled to Earth with the plan of capturing Cressida and taking her to his world for study, but the Avengers'  interference gave him time to realize that this would have been pointless as she was not a mutant. (Tales to Astonish I#91/2) - "A thousand galaxies away," the Stranger observed the Hulk defeating the Abomination; considering that the Hulk would never serve him but that the evil Abomination might "make him the hireling <he sought>", the Stranger transported the Abomination to his side. (Silver Surfer I#12 (fb) - BTS) - The Stranger transported Abomination to his laboratory world. (Avengers I#47 (fb) - BTS) - Magneto at least felt that the Stranger had lost interest in he and the Toad after acquiring the Abomination. (Avengers I#47 (fb) - BTS) - From the Stranger's laboratory world, Magneto sensed ever-stronger magnetic beams sent from Earth (by Dane Whitman and his assistant Norris in hopes of contacting extraterrestrials life) (Avengers I#47) - Magneto locked onto magnetic beams sent by Whitman and Norris from Earth and transported himself and the Toad back to Earth.

(Silver Surfer I#12 (fb) - BTS) - The Stranger left his laboratory world for months, exploring other galaxies. The Abomination was left in his prison. (Silver Surfer I#12 (fb) - BTS) - A coven of witches and warlocks led by Warlock Prime summoned the Abomination from the Stranger's laboratory/prison world to Earth. (Thor I#178 (fb) - BTS) - After the Abomination's defeat, the witches coven sent him back to the Stranger's laboratory/prison world. (Thor I#178 - BTS) - The Abomination returned outside of his previous confinement chambers.

(Thor I#178) - As the Abomination invaded the Stranger's chambers, he found the Stranger studying his space scanner. The Abomination prepared to ambush the Stranger, but  the Stranger instead departed to collect a specimen on another world. (Thor I#178 - BTS) - The Abomination investigated the scanner, which shifted to viewing Asgard, after which he unwittingly activated a piece of equipment that summoned Thor to his side. Showing Thor the other beings imprisoned on the Stranger's world, the Abomination convinced him that the Stranger was the one who had brought him there and that all present were innocent victims.      When Thor shattered a wall imprisoning a number of such captives, the Stranger detected this and returned to investigate. (Thor I#178) - The Stranger reappeared, demanding to know who had tampered with his private compound and set his captives free. As other captives fled, Thor confronted the Stranger, whose power threatened those present. (Thor I#178 - BTS) - Seeking to hide out from the Stranger, Thor returned to Don Blake's form, after which he relocated the Abomination and heard him discussing his and his associates' criminal nature and plots to escape captivity and menace the the cosmos anew.     Ultimately, Thor attacked the Abomination and his allies until the Stranger found and challenged him anew. Realizing the Stranger's ire might lead him to attack Asgard, Thor "reversed time" (see comments), diverging the previous events to Reality-70766, while Thor returned to the moment at which the Abomination summoned him to the Stranger's world.     Wise to the Abomination's deceptions, Thor punched him out and reimprisoned him before returning to Asgard without having encountered/enraged the Stranger.

(Avengers I#138 (fb) - BTS) - Using technology and resources on Polemachus, Toad constructed a starship (as he had seen Magneto do) that allowed him to travel across dimensions and space to return to the Stranger's prisonworld. Knowing the Stranger spent most of his time away from that world, Toad breached the planet's defenses (the same way he had seen Magneto do it) and plundered the Stranger's technology. Taking all that he could understand and installing it in his ship, Toad returned to Earth, intending to use his new power to impress the Scarlet Witch and convince her to marry him.     Amongst the technology the Toad used was a thought-form, which -- inspired by his experiences with Mastermind -- allowed him to impersonate the Stranger, while using other technology to simulate the Stranger's powers. (Avengers I#137-138 - BTS) - The Toad also used floating mines and technology allowing him to project mental blasts and to transfer information. (Avengers I#137-138 - BTS) - Posing as the Stranger, Toad assaulted the Avengers until ultimately being tricked into dropping the illusion by the Beast, after which Toad was defeated and the ship and its technology taken by the Avengers.

(Avengers I#317 (fb) - BTS) - At some point, the Stranger secured the Infinity Union and stored it deep within his homeword's core. (Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z hardcover#11: Stranger entry) - While the Stranger traveled the universe, gathering specimens... (Avengers I#317 (fb) - BTS) - Alongside her agent the Rigellian Gunthar, Nebula somehow pierced the security on the Stranger's homeworld (which seemed to be a planet-sized machine). They flew their ship into the planet's core, which contained the Infinity Union.      Determining the best spot for access, Nebula adjusted her wrist-blasters for a more delicate beam and cut a hole in the wall; Gunthar further noted that the shields were breached to the ignorance of the wall's security network. Once through the wall, it took them at least two hours to fly to the podium holding the Infinity Union, which they then stole.

* *

(Quasar#19 (fb) - BTS) - Gathering a number of beings into a caravan of starships, Jack of Hearts began towing them back toward Earth. (Quasar#19 - BTS) - As Jack of Hearts pierced the surveilance net Quasar had created around Earth, Quasar was alerted and confronted him. Ultimately, Jack subdued Quasar; the Presence and Starlight congratulated him and then urged him to kill Quasar. (Quasar#20 - BTS) - Presence seemingly slew Quasar (who escaped his assault by quantum jumping away) and then incapacitated Jack of Hearts, whose energies were released explosively.     As Jack hurled away from Earth, the Presence and Red Guardian headed Earthward in one direction, while the rest of the space caravan headed in another.     Returning, Quasar located the caravan and determined that the passengers therein were at risk of being incinerated during re-entry. Protecting the caravan with an aerodynamic heat-deflecting (and transparent to radar) quantum construct, Quasar guided them to Siberia (as he was not certain who was aboard and wished to deliver them to an out of the way location). Amongst those who exited the ships after their landing were Diamondhead, Dragonfly, Fusion, Gargoyle, the Weird Sisters (Beauty, Charm, Truth), and Woodgod. Quasar started to question the new arrivals but was then called away as Eon noted that he was under attack.      Quasar ultimately trapped the Presence in the Quantum Zone. As Maelstrom had intended, Quasar believed the Presence to have been the cosmic assassin from whom he had been charged to protect Eon.

Q

(Incredible Hulk II#412 (fb) - BTS) - From his Homeworld, the Stranger conducted Experiment 301, in which he allowed the Bi-Beast to approach the talisman of power known as the Family Jewels, which he had left unguarded. Stealing these, the Bi-Beast -- while he could have used them to take him anywhere in the universe (allowing him to explore or to perform deeds on a galactic scale) -- traveled to Earth and sought vengeance on the Hulk. (Incredible Hulk II#412) - As the Bi-Beast confronted the Hulk and She-Hulk, the Stranger remarked how pointlessly singleminded so many Earth creatures were. Tiring of the experiment, he decided to see if the Bi-Beast and/or Hulk would notice if he set the Family Jewels to detonate with enough force to destroy everything within 1000 miles. (Incredible Hulk II#412 - BTS) - Shortly thereafter, the Hulk's Pantheon ally Hector reported to him the energy build-up and its potential for destruction. Ultimately, the Hulk and She-Hulk used their bodies to shield the Jewels as they prepared to detonate. However, the Stranger instead deactivated and reclaimed the Jewels before they exploded. The Hulk correctly suspected that this had been an experiment.

(Starblast#2) - On his homeworld, the Stranger sent landing coordinates to Skeleton and his crew of the Dark Seed when they hailed him, noted his "unrivaled analytical and scientific ability" and requested his aid in appraising a "curiosity of exceding perplexity." Once they had landed, the Stranger was intrigued with the Star Brand (an energy source from Reality-148611 (The "New Universe"))-empowered human Kayla Ballantine.

*

(Quasar#55) - After Skeletron noted his belief that the Star Brand was from a distant universe with different physical properties and that it had been brought to their universe by Quasar, the Stranger accepted Skeletron's deal that if he could remove the power source from its host, determine where it was from and how Skeletron might get there, the Stranger could keep the Star Brand.     The Starblasters Nygorn the Marvanite and Zardrox the Kronan traveled from the Dark Seed ship down to the Laboratory World to explore, although the other Starblasters, fearing Skeletron's wrath, declined.      When Qusar led a group of human agents -- Binary, Black Bolt, Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau), Darkstar, Ikaris, Photon, Vanguard to the Laboratory world, Nygorn appeared before them and obstructed their path, soon after joined by the other Starblasters. At Quasar's request, his allies fought the Starblasters, while he continued on to the Laboratory world.     Meanwhile, the Stranger informed Skeletron that he had nearly completed his analysis, but that he would have to remove the Star Brand before he could determine its location of origin.     Quasar was frustrated flying through the Lab world's maddeningly complex corridors; he considered burning through the walls but feared he might hit a reactor or something.

*

(Starblast#3) - As the Stranger examined Kayla Ballantine, Skeletron engaged and ultimately captured Quasar.     Uatu or another Watcher appeared to observe, confirming the Stranger's suspicions that what he was doing was potentially extremely significant. The Strange subsequently projected himself into the dreamscape, appearing to Kayla in a form consistent with her perception of God and told her he had come to free her of the curse of unwanted power.

(Starblast#3 (fb) - BTS) - After Kayla agreed to the transfer, the Stranger transferred the Star Brand onto himself. (Starblast#3) - A powerful energy release occurred due to the conjunction of the Stranger's energies and the Star Brand's, pulling the Stranger's world halfway into Universe-148611's dimension in proximity to the Earth and disrupting Skeletron's systems, forcing him to disgorge Quasar as he returned to the Stranger.

(Quasar#56) - Kayla Ballantine was transported to the surface of Earth-148611.     Half of the Stranger's world (“a chunk of planetary matter a tenth the size of Jupiter”) existed in the New Universe.     As the Stranger, Watcher, Skeletron, and Quasar recovered, the former two determined they were no longer in their universe of origin, and the Stranger theorized that the conjunction of his and the Star Brand's energies had caused this. He confirmed that he had recovered the Star Brand, but he erroneously concluded that Kayla had been disintegrated.     After Uatu departed to observe Earth-148611, Quasar departed as well, apparently following him to seek out Kayla, learning she was on this other Earth.     Skeletron subsequently flew the Dark Seed (an extension of his own form) into Universe-148611, intending to extract all of the Star Brand energy from Earth-148611.

(Quasar#57) - When Quasar demanded further answers from the Stranger, he advised Quasar to take his friends and depart before he made specimens of them all. The Living Tribunal subsequently appeared and -- wishing to speak only with the Strangers -- transported away the Earth-148611 natives and other beings involved in the war against Skeletron and the Starblasters, apparently sending them to their native worlds. (Quasar#57 (fb) - BTS) - The Living Tribunal surrounded Earth-148611 with an impenetrable barrier, containing that world, its natives, and its Starbrand energies, as well as Kayla Ballantine, who had been permanently contaminated by the Star Brand. (Quasar#57) - After encountering the barrier, Quasar again confronted the Stranger, who informed him of the Tribunal's actions and told him that Kayla had been permanently contaminated by the Star Brand energy and was now trapped on that world forever. (Quasar#60) - The lab world was present in the background as Quasar wrote an apology in quantum energy ("Goodbye Kayla...I'm sorry...Q") and lamented having lost Kayla forever, after which he departed, returning to Earth.

    I am not going to try to chronologically insert the time periods at which the Stranger captured each of his Prisonworld and Battleworld captives, as that would be too speculative. Most of them have their own profiles, and you can check there for likely time periods.
    Similarly, discussions of whether certain captives/subjects are or are not who they claimed and/or were stated to be is covered under each of their profiles.

• The Stranger references “his people” taking specimens back to his world in X-Men I#11.
• In X-Men I#18, the world is not identified, but Magneto notes that the whole planet is a prison.
  
• He also describes it as deserted and forsaken.
  
• Magneto noted it to be like an intergalactic museum, with relics from every part of the universe.
  
• The X-Men Index for this issue calls it the Stranger's laboratory world.
• In Avengers I#47, Magneto again refers to it as a desolate, forsaken, barren planetoid. The text caption box notes it as being "across the infinite, fathomless void of space...a grim, gray world without a name"
• The Avengers index for this issue calls it Magneto's prison planet
• Marvel Two-In-One Annual#5, the Stranger operated out of an artificial planetoid in deep space.
  
• It is specifically identified as the Cosmic Complex, and it is noted that it is one of many space-born habitations created by the Stranger. It has an observatory dome.
• Given the relative size of the observation dome to the size of the planetoid, it seems to be much smaller than the Stranger's laboratory/prison world.
  
• In Silver Surfer I#12, we just see the inside of the Abomination's prison cell. The world is not identified
• In Avengers I#138, Toad calls it "the Prison Planet" of the Stranger.
  
• The Avengers Index calls it the Stranger's prison planet
  
• Silver Surfer III#27, a craft, four times the size of a class-1 comet, suddenly appeared on the monitor screens of the Serpent's Tooth, the pirate ship of Captain Reptyl. Navigator Dalabuur noted it to be heading toward "Andromeda-6," and ordered his crew to follow it.
• I don't think this was ever clarified, but it was presumably either one of the Stranger's crafts or a cloaked Badoon fleet.
• Regardless, it was not the Stranger's laboratory world, although Dalabuur and the rest of Reptyl's crew were apparently taken to the Stranger's laboratory world after the Stranger departed with them
  
• Avengers I#317 has the Stranger working out of a large ship, different from those previously shown.
• Although the Stranger states that no one had breached his home planet's defenses in millennia, we know the Toad did so in the flashback in Avengers I#138.
  
• The Avengers: Official Index to the Marvel Universe entry for #317 calls it the Stranger's homeworld.
• Per Donald Campbell
  
• The Stranger states that his “homeworld” was a planet whose location he had thought was known only to himself.
• The planet is depicted as being covered in buildings and with at least six small round moons in close orbit around it.
• The Stranger was on the far side of the galaxy “involved in matters of intergalactic investigation” when Nebula, Gunthar and some minions on her mothership (“space-ark”) managed to pierce his planet’s security defenses, something that hundreds before her had failed to do in a millennium.
• Nebula calls the planet the Stranger’s stronghold and states that the complex is enormous, “a machine the size of a planet.”
• The Infinity Union (“the most powerful weapon in the multiverse”) was located in a chamber at the core of the planet.
  
• Once in the chamber, the core podium was “so far away” that it took Nebula and Gunthar “at least two hours of (your) Earth time” to reach it.
• In Quasar#14, Eon identifies it as "the Stranger's Laboratory World."
• Hyperion notes how they had passed over what looked like a technological labyrinth, after which they found what Makkari noted as "silly cylinders sticking out of a body of water."
• Per Donald Campbell
  
• According the the Omniscient Narrative, the planet is "about a million light-years closer to the center of the Milky Way" than Earth is.
  
• This is impossible since the Milky Way is only between 150,000 and 200,000 light-years in diameter.
  
• There are five round moons depicted in close orbit around it.
• The Over-Mind calls it “home planet of (his) ancient enemy.”
  
• Quasar states that the planet is “approximately the size of Uranus.” He later notes that the atmosphere was Earth-like and the gravity was 1.4 times that of Earth.
  
• As a solid, rocky planet instead of an ice giant, its gravity should have been much more than that of Earth but instead is was only "1.4 times that of Earth." Super-science at work?
• Eon calls it “the laboratory-world of the self-styled Stranger” and warns Quasar about the planetary defense shields.
  
• The planet is a “technology-choked world” that has a vast network of exospheric defenses. The area where the Over-Mind’s ship landed was covered in buildings. There is a Command Citadel from which the Stranger monitors the denizens, beings from a multitude of races.
• The surface of the planet is divided into multiple controlled environments that are separated by force barriers that prevent the occupants from passing through them and keep the various environmental conditions contained. The interior sides of the barriers make it look like the environments extend beyond the actual borders. The environments include a Sea of Cylinders, staircases in the clouds, a swamp, a forest, a corpse-strewn battlefield, a pool of lava, an “artificial cube of ersatz interstellar void” and chambers that seem to be inside various structures.
  
• In Quasar I#15, the laboratory-world of the Strange is “halfway across the Milky Way galaxy” (from Earth) and is a mosaic of impenetrable self-contained environments designed to contain and challenge his specimens/test subjects: The oddities of the universe -- the mutates and singletons of over a thousand different species.
• In Quasar I#16, there is a quadrangular plaza near the citadel. The Stranger speaks of his “world-laboratory.”
• Quasar I#23 notes it to be on the other side of the Milky Way galaxy (from Earth), where sentient beings from over a thousand different worlds have been gathered and placed in separate habitats.
  
• Starblast#2 describes the Stranger's Homeworld as a Neptune-sized planet.
• Quasar I#55 (February, 1994) – The laboratory world of the Stranger doesn’t seem to have any moons orbiting it.
• Skeletron’s ship in at the spaceport. Nygorn the Marvanite goes to explore the “curio-world.”
• Quasar finds the Stranger’s planet to be “vaguely familiar.” Three Shi’ar Guardsmen (Solar Wind, Voyager and Moondancer) also recognize it as the world of the Stranger where they were imprisoned and experimented upon for “countless rotations”/”almost three cycles.”
• The Shi’ar Empire has an imperial treaty with the Stranger in which he agrees to never make any Shi’ar citizen a subject of his experimentation again as long as the Shi’ar leave his worlds (plural) alone.
• It is called a "ship" in X-Men Forever I#3, with the captive Magneto and Toad having been brought there like zoo specimens.
• The Stranger may have taken some specimens aboard a ship for some specific/focal study.
• There is some evidence that the Stranger's homeworld/labworld is artificial enough that it may be considered a ship/craft
• The Toad's mind/memory may have been a bit-addled due to his present self's mind having been sent back into time to occupy his past self's form.
  

Galactic revolution

    Per Wikipedia: The galactic year, also known as a cosmic year, is the duration of time required for the Sun to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Estimates of the length of one orbit range from 225 to 250 million terrestrial years.The Solar System is traveling at an average speed of 230 km/s (828,000 km/h) or 143 mi/s (514,000 mph) within its trajectory around the galactic center, a speed at which an object could circumnavigate the Earth's equator in 2 minutes and 54 seconds; that speed corresponds to approximately 1/1300 of the speed of light.

 What is/are MI-CICS

    In Starblast#3, the Stranger transports Quasar a distance away, which Skeletron notes to have been "a few thousand MI-CICS away" (all of the lettering was in capitals, so it can't be determined whether the term should be capitalized or not). I thought perhaps it was some astronomical distance, but I couldn't find anything in a search.
    Donald Campbell provided the following comments:

I assume that a "mi-cic" was meant to be some alien unit of length used to measure distances that Mark Gruenwald created. After all, the Stranger and Skeletron were both aliens so it would make sense for them to use non-Earthly terms when speaking among themselves, right?
It does sound a bit like the slang term for kilometers, "klicks." 
Additonally, in Quasar I#56, after having just discovered that Insidio had taken prisoners without permission, Skeletron ordered them all killed at once. Skeletron then said, "I will be there within five cics and I want them dead by then!"
This would seem to indicate that a "cic" was a unit used in the measurement of time while a "mi-cic" was used in the measurement of length/distance.

Profile by Snood. Thanks to Donald Campbell for various data, input, and opinions.

CLARIFICATIONS:
The Stranger's laboratory/prison world should be distinguished from:

• The Stranger's various ships (see comments)
  
• Battleworld, a planet patterned after the Beyonder's Battleworld--Beyond#1
• Prisonworld of the Collector - held many beings in his collection, guarded by numerous extraterrestrials under his control, consumed by Galactus after Wolverine and Aria unwittingly destroyed its shielding--Wolverine II#133
  
• Prisonworld of the Microverse (Little D + gang, G-Men, Tri-Bunal, Murder-1) - originally where prisoners of Karza were sent, after his defeat they freed themselves and patterned themselves after earth's prohibition-era mobsters--Micronauts I#53

Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse's cell /
charnel pit

This region consisted of a field covered by piles of dead bodies. It was bordered on one side by Woodgod's forest realm and on the other side by Star-Dancer's space habitat.      As seen, the realm consisted of piles of dead bodies, with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse as the sole survivors fighting each other at the top of a carnal pile. (Quasar#14 (fb) - BTS) - Under unrevealed circumstances, the Stranger captured the Axi-Tun Four Horseman of the Apocalypse after they were defeated by Earth's Fantastic Four. (Quasar#14) - As Makkari raced through the habitats, the Four Horsemen continued warring against each other, oblivious to his presence. (Quasar#14 - BTS / Quasar#16 (fb) - BTS) - After the Over-Mind deactivated the laboratory world's habitats' force barriers, the Four Horsemen escaped at some point. --Quasar I#14 Note: It's hard to say too much from a single image, but it would seem likely that all of the corpses seen were warriors battling in this realm, with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse being the sole survivors. However, it's also possible that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse spent all of their time battling upon a field of corpses.

Futurist and Alpha's cell /
double helix

The habitate contained of mostly open space, with some double helix structure containing the inhabitants. It apparently bordered the lava realm of Pilai the Kosmosian. (Quasar#14 (fb) - BTS) - Under unrevealed circumstances, the Stranger captured the Futurist and imprisoned him in the double helix habitat on his laboratory world. (Quasar#14 (fb) - BTS) - Under unrevealed circumstances, the Stranger captured Alpha the Ultimate Mutant and imprisoned him in the double helix habitat on his laboratory world.      It is unrevealed whether the Futurist or Alpha arrived there first.  (Quasar#14) - Searching the habitats for his abducted teammates, Hyperion passed by Alpha the Ultimate Mutant and the Futurist, imprisoned within an energy-generating double helix in otherwise open space. Alpha telepathically noted the presence of the "lesser being," and he wondered to the Futurist if they should communicate to him their plight. The Futurist advised that if highly-evolved specimens such as theirselves could not unravel the double helix, what possible help could a brute be.     Hyperion continued on pasing into the rock-lined lava pit habitat, which contained Pilai the Kosmosian. (Quasar#14 - BTS) - Over-Mind deactivated the force barriers containing each subject within his controlled environment, with the goals of disrupting his enemy's experiments and providing him with a vast army of Stranger-hating mind slaves.  (Quasar#15) - Alpha and the Futurist departed the Stranger's laboratory world. --Quasar I#14

Woodgod's cell /
forest habitat

The forest habitat consisted of trees and vegetation, at least. (Quasar#14 (fb) - BTS) - Under unrevealed circumstances, the Stranger captured Earth's genetically engineered Woodgod and imprisoned him in a forest habitat on his laboratory world.      Woodgod was either immediately tethered to a high tree branch or he got caught in a trap that left him that way. Similarly, he was either armed with an axe from the start or he somehow obtained one. (Quasar#14) - As Makkari raced through this forest habitat, Woodgod chopped at the rope with the axe...apparently futilely. (Quasar#14 - BTS / Quasar#20 (fb) - BTS) - After the Over-Mind deactivated the laboratory world's habitats' force barriers, Woodgod escaped at some point. --Quasar I#14 Note: It's hard to say too much from a single image, but it seemed to me that Woodgod was tied to a rope that was virtually unbreakable despite his enhanced strength and the axe he held. Similarly, we know Woodgod escaped, because he was in the space caravan that arrived on Earth in Quasar I#20, but we have no idea whether the rope/tether vanished when the Over-Mind deactivated the force fields, or whether something else altogether happened.

Infinity Union vault

(Avengers I#317 (fb) - BTS) - At some point, the Stranger secured the Infinity Union and stored it deep within his homeword's core. (Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z hardcover#11: Stranger entry) - While the Stranger traveled the universe, gathering specimens... (Avengers I#317 (fb)) - Alongside her agent the Rigellian Gunthar, Nebula somehow pierced the security on the Stranger's homeworld (which seemed to be a planet-sized machine).      They flew their ship into the planet's core, which contained the Infinity Union.      As Nebula approached the Infinity Union's vault door, Gunthar advised that the the powerful device was almost certainly secured quite heavily.      Determining the best spot for access, Nebula adjusted her wrist-blasters for a more delicate beam and cut a hole in the wall; Gunthar further noted that the shields were breached to the ignorance of the wall's security network.      Once through the wall, it took them at least two hours to fly to the podium holding the Infinity Union, which they then stole. --Avengers I#317

Pilai/Creature from Kosmos' cell /
lava pit

The lava pit habitat consisted of a large crater/pit (possibly a volcano), at least 30-50' across, filled with what appeared to be molten rock.      It apparently bordered the habitat/cell for Alpha and the Futurist on one side, and then the sewer tunnels on the other. (Quasar#14 (fb) - BTS) - Under unrevealed circumstances, the Stranger captured Pilai, aka the Creature from Kosmos, and imprisoned her in a lava pit habitat on his laboratory world.     (Quasar#14) - Racing through the habitats in search of his missing teammates, Hyperion passed over the lava pit and Pilai.      Hyperion wondered where the Stranger got all of those he had seen and further wondered what he was doing with them, but ultimately -- unsure whether he could understand the creature's inarticulate bellows -- he continued on to the next habitat rather than trying to ask the subject. (Quasar#14 - BTS) - The Over-Mind deactivated the laboratory world's habitats' force barriers. --Quasar I#14 Note: I don't think Pilai was seen again beyond this one panel, so we don't know for sure that he escaped. Maybe he liked hanging out in the lava...

Trikon's cell /
mausoleum-esque habitat

This habitat seemed to be a stone chamber decorated with grim, perhaps death-like or demonic sculptures and carvings. Only a single room and possibly its exterior (seen on the right of Shanga's space habitat) were shown. It obviously bordered on Shanga's space habitat. (Quasar#14 (fb) - BTS) - Under unrevealed circumstances, the Stranger captured the Trikon and imprisoned them in this cell/chamber/habitat. (Quasar#14) - Departing Shanga's space habitat, Makkari passed into some sort of mausoleum, where he was assaulted by the Trikon. Having no idea what they were, Makkari decided to flee this realm. (Quasar#14 - BTS) - Over-Mind deactivated the force barriers containing each subject within his controlled environment, with the goals of disrupting his enemy's experiments and providing him with a vast army of Stranger-hating mind slaves. (Quasar#15 (fb) - BTS) - The Trikon subdued Makkari before he could escape. (Quasar#15) - Sensing that the force barrier containing them was down, the Trikon prepared to depart to the awaiting universe. --Quasar I#14 (15

Dakkamite Elect / Power Platoon's cell

This habitat seemed to be a stone and/or other materials chamber, perhaps outside the sewer maze.  It wasn't shown very clearly, it just had unremarkable backgrounds. (Quasar#14 (fb) - BTS) - Under unrevealed circumstances, the Stranger captured the Dakkamite Elect / Power Platoon and imprisoned them in this cell/chamber/habitat. (Quasar#14) - Smashing through the sewer maze habitat, Hyperion encountered the Dakkamite Elect / Power Platoon, who, perhaps assuming he was associated with the Stranger, attacked him. Their superhuman powers and strength in numbers caught him offguard. (Quasar#14 - BTS) - Over-Mind deactivated the force barriers containing each subject within his controlled environment, with the goals of disrupting his enemy's experiments and providing him with a vast army of Stranger-hating mind slaves. (Quasar#15) - Sensing that the force barrier containing them was down, the Power Platoon paused and talked amongst theirselves. The break in their assault allowed Hyperion to catch his breath. (Avengers West Coast I#96 (fb) - BTS) - The Power Platoon apparently escaped the Stranger's Laboratory World. --Quasar I#14 (15

Presence and Red Guardian/Starlight's cell /
radioactive wasteland

(Quasar I#23 (fb) - BTS) - After being captured by the Stranger and brought to his laboratory world, the Presence (Sergei Krylov) and his partner Starlight (Tania Belinsky, formerly known as the Red Guardian) were placed in a radioactive waste land habitat. For what seemed liked years, they had trod this artificial environment, searching for food, escape, or some knowledge of the entity who captured them. (Quasar I#23 (fb)) - As part of his plot to distract Quasar from the cosmic assassin (Maelstrom himself) who threatened Quasar's mentor, Eon, Maelstrom appeared to the imprisoned duo in the form of the Anomaly (whose Manifestation-body he had slain and whose form and power he had usurped), pretending to be trapped in another realm as they were and just projecting his mind/spirit.     In this fashion, Maelstrom deluded them into thinking that Eon would one day destroy the universe. He requested that, should they ever be freed, to return to Earth and slay Eon at all costs, knowing that Eon's protector Quasar would mistake the Presence for the Cosmic Assassin he had been warned would appear on Earth, thus granting Maelstrom the cover he needed to prepare his own assault. --Quasar I#23 Note: To me, it looks like what Moscow might look following nuclear war (obviously not taking a direct hit by a nuclear bomb, as it was smoking ruins, rather than a vaporized crater).

Sea of Cylinders

Between a "technological labyrinth" of densely packed buildings and the realm of staircases in the clouds is a realm of tall cylinders sticking out of a body of water. From orbit, the "Sea of Cylinders" could not be seen, presumably camouflaged in some fashion. (Quasar I#14) - Arriving on the Stranger's laboratory world, Quasar, Hyperion, and Makkari flew over a city before entering this realm. Makkari thought the cylinders sticking out of a body of water were silly, while Quasar noted how they must be camouflaged somehow as they weren't seen from space.     They then made plans to split up and explore the world to try to find the Ex-Squadron Supreme members the Over-Mind had taken control of and brought there, and they each headed off in other directions.      Quasar was surprised as this realm abruptly changed into the realm of staircases in the clouds. --Quasar I#14 Note: As far as I know, no explanation for the nature or purpose of the Sea of Cylinders was every revealed. Perhaps there's an in-joke I don't get?

The region was composed of a series of tunnels that have a green-ish fluid running through them. The fluid is only at the bottom of the tunnels. The largest tunnel seemed to be composed of stone blocks, while the smaller tubes were either metal, plastic, or solid/smooth rock. Each set of tunnels seemed to open into larger number of tunnels. (Quasar#14) - Searching for his missing teammates, Hyperion entered a a series of tunnels, and he wondered whether it was the planet's sewer system or just another bizarre environment.      As he came to point where the tunnel split into two tubes, he figured it didn't really matter which one he took,so he just picked one.      Soon he came to a point where the tunnels split into four different tubes.      Figuring it was getting more complicated and might be a huge, three-dimensional maze, Hyperion resolved that he would not play rat for the Stranger, and she he just began flying, building up speed and smashing through the walls...until he came upon and almost smashed into the Power Platoon     --Quasar I#14 Note: I'm not sure whether the Power Platoon's habitat was within the sewer maze or whether it was the next one over. I'll consider them separate for the purposes of this profile.

Star Dancer's cell /
space habitat

The space habitat consisted of apparently open space, with at least the appearance of stars and planets, but it was a finite space, with barriers existing at its extent, separating it from the surrounding habitats.     On one edge it was bordered by the charnel pit habitat of the Axi-Tun Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and on another edge it was bordered by the mausoleum-like habitat of the Trikon. (Quasar#14 (fb) - BTS) - Under unrevealed circumstances, the Stranger captured Shanga, aka Stardancer, and imprisoned her in a space habitat on his laboratory world.     (Quasar#14) - Racing through the habitats, Makkari passed into seeming space (or a subspace), where he encountered Shanga, aka Star-Dancer. He tried to free her, but she explained that while he could pass through the edge of her space realm, she could not.      Makkari tried futilely to vibrate her body to find a frequency that would allow her to pass through the barrier, but he released her at her request due to the discomfort.      As he promised to return , he found himself in some sort of mausoleum, where he was assaulted by the Trikon. --Quasar I#14

Ethicals' cell /
 staircases in the clouds

The Ethicals were imprisoned in a realm composed of clouds connected by staircases.      This realm bordered the realm of the Sea of Cylinders as well as the Vivisection chamber that was Jakar's prison. (Quasar I#14) - Flying through the air above the Sea of Cylinders, Quasar was surprised when the environment suddenly changed to staircases amongst clouds, and he noted, "Somebody must be a Led Zeppelin fan." As he wondered what the point of it was and if environmental sculpting was one of the Stranger's hobbies, he was suddenly confronted the Ethicals, who explained that they were imprisoned there, although they declined his offer to free them, which would not be ethical. --Quasar I#14 Note: Quasar was comparing the realm to the Led Zeppelin song "Stairway to Heaven," in case you live a life without a clue.      The Ethicals were presumably released from this cell when the Over-Mind released all of the prisoners in Quasar I#14. Whether they thought it was ethical to take advantage of this...I doubt it.

Ego-Prime and Krakoa's habitat /
swamp/marshland

The swamp/marshland habitat consisted of a body of water with some vegetation The water was deep enough that the perhaps 50' tall Ego-Prime could submerge completely beneath its surface. Krakoa remained largely inactive, and Ego-Prime sometimes stood atop Krakoa to partially exit the water. It is unrevealed whether Ego-Prime was aware that the landmass was a living being or not. (Quasar#14 (fb) - BTS) - Under unrevealed circumstances, the Stranger captured Ego-Prime and imprisoned him in a swamp/marshland habitat on his laboratory world. (Quasar#14 (fb) - BTS) - Under unrevealed circumstances, the Stranger captured a fragment of the living island Krakoa and imprisoned it in a swamp/marshland habitat on his laboratory world.      It is unrevealed whether Krakoa or Ego-Prime arrived there first. (Quasar#14) - Investigating the Stranger's laboratory world, Quasar was dispelled by Jakar into a marsh/swamp/jungle. (Quasar#15 (fb) - BTS) - Quasar was the first to breach Ego-Prime's habitat. (Quasar#14) - Emerging from the water, Ego-Prime caught Quasar and then expressed his contempt by attempting to devour Quasar. (Quasar#14 - BTS) - Over-Mind deactivated the force barriers containing each subject within his controlled environment, with the goals of disrupting his enemy's experiments and providing him with a vast army of Stranger-hating mind slaves. (Quasar#15) - When Quasar dodged Ego-Prime's bio-blasts, Ego-Prime realized the blasts were passing beyond the previous atmospheric barrier that had kept him imprisoned.      Ego-Prime took to the air and then departed the Laboratory world.     Second later, Krakoa rose and reached for Quasar, who fled. --Quasar I#14 (15

Jakar's cell /
vivisection chamber

This environment/habitat seemed to consist solely of an operating table and a number of mechanical instruments that extended from the walls on cables that could apparently be programmed to probe and biopsy a living being (or presumably a dead one, which would seem to be easier).      Additionally, the chamber presumably could restrain a being such as Jakar, who was inferior to the Stranger in power, but was a high level energy-manipulator nonetheless. Jakar's power was not neutralized, as he released a burst against Quasar that knocked out of the habitat; caught by surprise, Quasar could only ride the shockwave.      This chamber bordered the Staircases in the clouds habitat of the Ethicals and the marshland/island in a body of water or whatever was the realm that contained Ego-Prime and a fragment of Krakoa. (Quasar I#14 (fb) - BTS) - At some point following Jakar's encounter with Captain America (Steve Rogers), the Stranger captured Jakar, brought him to his laboratory world, and imprisoned him in this chamber.      Likely curious about how/why Jakar's appearance so closely mimicked the Stranger's own form and/or perhaps wishing to punish him for such effrontery, the Stranger had his instruments slow vivisect Jakar. (Quasar I#14 (fb) - BTS) - Departing the realm of the Ethical, Quasar passed into another environment, where he encountered a laboratory where Jakar was being vivisected by automated equipment); Jakar  introduced himself, noted his fate and his presumed reasons, after which he noted that he was in unendurable pain and asked Quasar to kill him.      When Quasar refused, instead offering to try to free him, Jakar angrily blasted Quasar away into yet another environment. (Quasar#14 - BTS) - Over-Mind deactivated the force barriers containing each subject within his controlled environment, with the goals of disrupting his enemy's experiments and providing him with a vast army of Stranger-hating mind slaves. (Quasar#15-16 / Cosmic Powers Unlimited#3/1 - BTS) - Jakar escaped the Stranger's laboratory world. --Quasar I#14 Note: As Jakar was later shown to be active off of the the Stranger's labworld in Cosmic Powers Unlimited#3/1-2, he obviously escaped it; I am ASSUMING it occurred during this obvious opportunity, but this is not confirmed.

unidentified prisoners and barren rocky land/zone

An unspecified number (perhaps 15-20 or a little more were shown, but Thor referred to them as a "multitude") of unidentified beings were imprisoned/contained within a barren rocky land outside of one of the Stranger's citadels. There was a wall surrounding the captives and keeping them contained.      Thor described them as being "from the far-flung reaches of the galaxies," but it is unclear how he would have known they weren't native to the world he was on or all from the same place or some nearby worlds. (Thor I#178 - BTS) - After being brought from his cell on the Stranger's Laboratory World by Earth's Warlock Prime, the Abomination was returned to the Laboratory World but arrived outside of his previous cell, landing instead just outside the Stranger's citadel in this barren rocky land.      As the Abomination invaded the Stranger's chambers, he found the Stranger studying his space scanner. The Abomination prepared to ambush the Stranger, but  the Stranger instead departed to collect a specimen on another world.       The Abomination investigated the scanner, which shifted to viewing Asgard, after which he unwittingly activated a piece of equipment that summoned Thor to his side. (Thor I#178) - Showing Thor the other beings imprisoned on the Stranger's world, the Abomination convinced him that the Stranger was the one who had brought him (Thor) there and that all present were innocent victims.      Angered by such enslavement, Thor shattered a wall imprisoning a number of these captives. However, knowing that shattering the wall would trigger an alarm that the Stranger would sense, the captives became fearful.       The Stranger reappeared, demanding to know who had tampered with his private compound and set his captives free.     Ultimately, Thor attacked the Abomination and his allies until the Stranger found and challenged him anew. Realizing the Stranger's ire might lead him to attack Asgard, Thor "reversed time" (see comments), diverging the previous events to Reality-70766, while Thor returned to the moment at which the Abomination summoned him to the Stranger's world.     Wise to the Abomination's deceptions, Thor punched him out and reimprisoned him before returning to Asgard without having encountered/enraged the Stranger. --Thor I#178, p. 7-8

(Thor I#178) - Fearing the Stranger's wrath, the captives fled, believing he might destroy them all. (Thor I#178 - BTS) - Thor confronted the Stranger, taking credit for releasing the captives, and battled the Stranger but eventually retreated in hopes of learning more about his foe. Thor I#178, p. 8

(Thor I#178) - Seeking to hide out from the Stranger, Thor returned to the form of his mortal incarnation, Dr. Donald Blake, after which he relocated the Abomination and heard him discussing his and his associates' plots.      The other captives noted that the Abomination would lead them to victory and that they would be free to pillage the cosmos, and the Abomination assured them that while the Stranger only captured those who deserved captivity (that may not be true, but it was acknowledgment that this entire group were villainous in nature), but that they would soon be able to menace all, and that none would be safe from their attack.      Forgetting that he was in his vulnerable Don Blake form, Blake called the group fools and told them that there were forces in the universe that would stop them. At the Abomination's order to silence this being -- whom the Abomination assumed to be the Stranger's lackey or at least there enemy regardless -- the captives rushed Blake, and one of them threw Blake to the Abomination.     Unaware of its significance, the Abomination nonetheless seized Blake's walking stick (secretly the transformed hammer of Thor, Mjolnir, which he had to strike against the ground in order to transform back into Thor).      Considering the puny man to be insignificant, the Abomination then instructed the others to let him go, as he could only starve and die. Thor I#178, p. 15

(Thor I#178 - BTS) - As Blake hid behind a rock, Thor's lover, Sif, dispatched there by Odin's mystic sage, Torger, handed him his walking stick. Using it to turn back into Thor, he then sent Sif back to Asgard as he had to fight alone (perhaps seeking to prevent her from encountering the Stranger or the Abomination). (Thor I#178) - Thor then confronted the captives, using Mjolnir to smash a rock and shower them with rock. When the Abomination tackled Thor, the others urged him to kill their attacker, but Thor unleashed a burst of energy that felled all save the Abomination, who fled as the Stranger approached again.     Realizing the Stranger's ire might lead him to pursue him and attack Asgard, Thor used Mjolnir to "reverse time" to the moment at which the Abomination summoned him to the Stranger's Laboratory World (actually diverging Reality-616 from Reality-70766).     Wise to the Abomination's deceptions, Thor punched him out and reimprisoned him before returning to Asgard without having encountered/enraged the Stranger. --Thor I#178, p. 17 Note: So, theoretically, these captives never encountered nor were freed by Thor in Reality-616. They just remained in their cell while Thor subdued the Abomination and returned back to Asgard. We've obviously seen cases where beings retain vague memories of events despite time being reversed/diverged, etc. But, regardless, they were still prisoners of the Stranger, and I had some space to fill to picture them all.      So, who are these guys? Other than their being villainous beings who deserved to have been imprisoned, we don't know much else.     Warning, pure speculation time      It's probably just because the art is by John Buscema, but some of these guys remind me of the savage giants on Reality-6966's 45th century who battled and subdued Reality-616's Silver Surfer when he traveled there. Since we've seen what appeared to be one of the Emissaries of the Overlord in Reality-616 following the Surfer's travels, it isn't out of the realm of possibility that at least some of these captives were those giant savages.      The Surfer's time traveling apparently caused some weird temporal ripple that dislodged the Overlord from his native reality, as shown here and as referenced in the Overlord's profile in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe.      Maybe the same travel that sent the Overlord to another reality displaced at least one of the Emissaries as well as at least some of these giant savages, causing them to be pulled back along the same time/dimensional travel the Surfer used to return to his own world.      ...or not....
