Well the topic of continuity itself really has no place on this wiki, or at least not the validity debates. There's always going to be discrepancies between two stories on any topic, and trying to find one accepted "canon" to write of it futile. For instance, we cover Spock as both a fictional character and a real person from an alternate universe.

On the topic of what universe(s) these stories are set in, as you've said above the stories themselves really act as if these are all one "continuum." As I noted before, many of these "universe" rifts were invented long after-the-fact by Marvel reference books, and because we choose not to cover these our coverage of these stories really has no need to pay attention to any details not mentioned on-the-pages themselves. Either way, I once again think that this has nothing to do with if this story is valid or not. I will go ahead and disagree with your argument that these comics must be set in separate universes because of "continuity." If no one ever says "He's crossed into another universe" then we can't and shouldn't conject that this has happened.
