History
Tlön is a dimension populated by monstrosities, discovered by M.O.D.O.K.. He planned to open a portal on Earth and unleash Tlön's monstrosities to destroy the "bullies," but backed down from his plan and was succeeded by his assistant Snapper.[1]
In the Venezuelan rainforest, Snapper set up a chain of people to be used as mediums for Tlön's rise, forming a communal mindscape that used emotional negativity to create a gate for this purpose.[2] When M.O.D.O.K. and the S.H.I.E.L.D. interfered in Snapper's plan, they ultimately used the sentient bomb Vladimir to open a black hole, which upon contact with the gate to Tlön created a singularity and reverted everything back to normal.[3]
Vladimir later found himself on Tlön, where he was greeted by an entity that identified himself as the "Traveller."[4]Trivia
- Tlön is based on Jorge Luis Borges's short story Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius. This same story is referenced by Maria Hill and Phil Coulson when they investigated Tlön.
- When Vladimir arrives to Tlön, he identifies the entity that greets him as "Jorg--" before being interrupted, meaning the entity could be Jorge Luis Borges himself.
