In the Marvel Comics Multiverse, Earth-98 or Earth 98 is similar to Earth-616 which is a primary home to superheroes seen in canonical Marvel comic books except that they began their careers during their debuts on the comic book with a publication date rather than beginning their career "ten to fifteen years ago" (eg. Spider-Man began his adventures in 1962 instead of 199?). This Earth is sometimes referred to as "Earth-1961", a reference to the year Fantastic Four made its comic debut. This Earth was designated as Earth-98 in "The Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes 2005"

The timeline between 1961 to 1973 has similar dating points until the events of "Amazing Spider-Man" (vol. 1) #121-122 in which Spider-Man "vanishes" following the deaths of Gwen Stacy and Green Goblin rather than remaining active like his Earth-616 counterpart. Note that the events of "Onslaught" and the emerging of Wolverine is part of Earth-98 continuity but is date outside of the 1961-1973 timescale.

Captain America

Captain America has the same history as his Earth-616 counterpart until he sacrificed his life to save hundreds of civilians in Oklahoma (presumably on April 19th, 1995 which is the date of Oklahoma City Bombing).

Dr. Strange

Dr. Strange is the same as his Earth-616 counterpart but has aged a little.

Fantastic Four

The Fantastic Four had similar adventures up until the time of Spider-Man's "disappearance." After his vanishing, Human Torch married Crystal and gave birth to their son Cosmic Ray (presumably Ray Storm) and also had a daughter Luna (similar to her Earth-616 counterpart except that she nicknamed herself "Spike"). Franklin Richards (who then becomes "Zero Man") then married Zawadi of Wakanda and had a daughter N'Yami.

However, Reed Richards and Ben Grimm had fought in the Second World War, of which the events were depicted in "Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos".

Frightful Four

This Team comprised of Wizard, Blastaar, Quicksand and the mysterious villain known as Hooded Haunt and still foes of Fantastic Four.

Hulk

Hulk is similar to his Earth-616 counterpart until he died in 1996 of a heart attack at the age of 70 years old.

pider-Man

Spider-Man is similar to his Earth-616 counterpart except that he abandoned his career following the deaths of Gwen Stacy and Green Goblin, which never happened in Earth-616, and disappeared without a trace.

Thor

Thor is similar to his Earth-616 Counterpart and presumably still a member of The Avengers.

Wolverine

Wolverine is similar to his Earth-616 counterpart and remained active as X-Men member.

Early Sightings of Earth-98

Earth-98 is somehow first seen in Marvel Comics from 1961 to 1973 as well as comic books in which events taken place in "real time" beyond 1973 (eg. Marvels presumably takes place on Earth-98) and comic books involving Reed Richards and Ben Grimm's World War II background (which never took place on Earth-616). Captain America's revival in Avengers (vol. 1) #4 also seems to take place on this Earth.
