Crosswicking new trope.

* TheFirstSuperheroes: When the line was created in 1986 by then editor Jim Shooter, the premise was that the world was like our own, until a strange astronomical happening called "The White Event" occurred on July 22, 1986. The White Event is a giant, blinding flash of light that irrupted somewhere on Earth and causes the origin of many of the superbeings of the setting. In ''Star Brand'' #12, it is revealed that the White Event was caused by a former wielder of the titular Starbrand, who tried to get rid of his powers by channelling them to an asteroid near Earth's surface.

The New Universe was launched as a new imprint, with its new heroes operating in a new shared world. It aimed to be more realistic than (and completely separate to) the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, with harder science and lower power levels. The premise, summarised by the line's [[{{Slogans}} slogan]], was "The World Outside Your Window" - the New Universe was just like the real world until a single PointOfDivergence, a MassEmpoweringEvent called "The White Event", gave extraordinary powers to ordinary people scattered across the planet.

* ComicBookTime: Intended to be averted but it ended up ZigZagged. Each issue was supposed to occur in "real time" in that a month passes between issues. However, Mark Gruenwald ignored the memo. He decided that the chase story of ''D.P. 7'' was important, so all 12 issues of the first year took place over the course of a few weeks, followed by a TimeSkip to the next year as of issue 13.

* MythologyGag: A number of characters large and small from the main Marvel universe are shown to have counterparts in ''newuniversal''. To name a couple, a General Thaddeus Ross goes after the first confirmed superhuman sighting with GeneralRipper tendencies that equal the main universe version going after [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk the Hulk]]. One of the NYPD officers looking into another superhuman incident is named Manolis. NYPD Lieutenant Nick Manolis was a significant character in ''ComicBook/DaredevilBornAgain''.

After the first year, four of the initial eight titles were cancelled and the New Universe started to pivot from "The World Outside Your Window" to a new approach, showing how the presence of superhuman 'paranormals' had changed the normal world. This led to big shake-ups in the setting, such as "The Black Event", in which a paranormal destroys UsefulNotes/{{Pittsburgh}}, plunging America into war.

Sales continued to drop, the remaining titles switched to a new 'direct market only' format that was only sold in specialist comic shops (which also allowed the titles to run short back-up stories in each issue) and, eventually, in 1989, all New Universe titles were cancelled. The line (and the Creator/NewUniverse imprint itself) ended with ''[[ComicBook/TheWarNewUniverse The War]]'', a miniseries in which tensions over the destruction of Pittsburgh lead to World War III.

** Another ''newuniversal'' example [[ZigZaggedTrope zig zags]] this trope. One of the first indications the series takes place in a ParallelUniverse is a news report saying that Music/JohnLennon is celebrating his 66th birthday -- and Music/PaulMcCartney was [[Music/TheBeatles the Beatle]] assassinated by a deranged fan.
