A whole new parallel reality to that of Earth-616. The lives of many well-known characters have changed, similar to the Ultimate reality. The Defenders were formed as response to combat more local, "street level" crime. The founding team would include Daredevil, Paladin (Jessica Jones), Power Man (Luke Cage), Iron Fist, U.S. Agent, Hellcat, Punisher, Nighthawk, and Moon Knight. Kyle Richmond would at one time offer one of his mansions, sometimes called the "Richmond Riding Academy," to act as the base of operations for this streetwise squad.
