Actually it's not Marvel's creation,
it literally comes from a real world mathematician
who discovered transfinite sets of numbers,
it's widely recognized and accepted since 1881, even by Princeton University,
amongst a host of other prestigious establishments, and honorary mathematicians.And yes, like all theorems there are those that disagree with his findings,
but that isn't stopping any educational facility
from using Calculus (another theorem) in their curriculums.[b]Real world
:It's actually based on a real theorem from the real world created by Georg Cantor.

Cantor's Theorem:
"The theorem is named for Georg Cantor, who first stated and proved it."
=====================================
As you can see, Marvel even uses Cantor's name on panel. [/B]
So, is Cantor's theorem accepted by some? Sure. However, comparing wild ideology like that, to something like calculus, is meh.
