[IW/Supers] Splinter Worlds

Once upon a time, I was reading one of those specious complaints about Marvel mutant hatred which prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that hatred of Jews could never be a significant issue, when someone actually said something interesting about how it was like the X-Men lived in their own universe, which got to me to thinking. In a lot of ways, the Marvel universe is in fact like a whole bunch of universes which have been tacked together but not necessarily fully integrated. The Avengers never show up when Galactus comes to town, Iron Man almost never sees a mutant in his own book, and while the X-Men run into a surprising amount of magic, it does sometimes seem like the general population's opinion of mutants is disconnected between X-Men continuity and the non-X titles even when mutants show up or become regulars.

So I got to thinking what if I broke apart the different sub-universes into distinct worlds?
