Quantic Universe

"Agh! That's the problem with superheroes. They're too... heroic!"

- Hawk Moth

The  is the universe where the story of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir takes place.

Summary
According to Thomas Astruc, "[The Quantic Universe] is the extended universe in which live Ladybug and Cat Noir. Ladybug is to Quantic Universe what Spider-Man is to the Marvel-verse, or Batman to the DC-verse. Quantic Universe is filled [with] super-heroes in all countries, alien races, magic... Ladybug is just a tiny part of it. Hopefully, if the series is successful, we'll be able to explore it." He also explained in an interview that while Ladybug, Cat Noir, and their relationship is the main focus of the series, the crew wants to keep expanding the universe, adding new characters and looking deeper into all of the Miraculouses stored in the Miracle Box. At first, Miraculous wielders were the only known type of superheroes. However, Thomas confirmed others with abilities unrelated to Miraculouses are in existence. This was first confirmed in-universe in the second issue or Miraculous Adventures, where multiple superheroes unrelated to Miraculouses appear, including Majestia, Doorman, and Knightowl. The next issue introduces more non-Miraculous superheroes and reveals that there are various superheroes and super-powered threats around the world.

History
At the beginning of the universe, the first kwami, Tikki, came into existence. After her, other kwamis were formed throughout the early days of the universe whenever new ideas or emotions were born, such as beauty and love. They weren't able to be detected by humanity until a mage created the Miraculouses. Because of the Miraculouses, not only could kwamis interact with humans, they could transform them into super-powered beings.

To protect the Miraculouses, the Order of the Guardians was formed, watching over and distributing the Mircaulouses. Many Miraculous holders existed around the world at different times, including in ancient civilizations, the Middle Ages, and modern periods. Despite existing for many years, sometime in the 19th century, a mistake made by a young member in training named Wang Fu resulted in the Order of the Guardians falling apart, their temple getting destroyed, and the Butterfly Miraculous, Peacock Miraculous, and Miraculous spellbook being lost. Fu escaped, and he kept the Miracle Box with its remaining Miraculouses.

In the present day, many superheroes exist around the world. Majestia and Knightowl were well-known and popular, even having comic books based on them. An American superhero, Victory, was able to become the U.S. President, although she had to reveal her secret identity. Superheroes in America faced alien invasions and vicious supervillains. Often, superheroes around the world would join together in battling huge threats.

Meanwhile, in recent years there wasn't any kind of superhero in France. However, Gabriel Agreste found the Butterfly Miraculous and became Hawk Moth. With his superpower, he created other supervillains in order to bring out the Ladybug Miraculous and Cat Miraculous, take them away from their holders, and use them together to wish for a secret desire. Living in Paris at the time, Fu planned to fight back and stop Hawk Moth from making his wish come true, thereby circumventing its horrible consequences. After realizing he couldn't do it alone, Fu gave the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses respectively to Parisian teenagers Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste.

When the Trash Krakken caused major problems in New York City, a group of superheroes summoned Ladybug and Cat Noir to help them defeat it. The allied superheroes succeeded in their mission, with the Parisian duo also finding a mysterious black substance that had transformed a New York civilian into the Trash Krakken.

As the danger in Paris grew, so did Ladybug and Cat Noir, figuring out the powers of their jewels, growing in allies and not only that they also gained clues to figuring out Hawk Moth's secret dream.

In the future the French Miraculous superhero team return as adults as Paris is under the threat of a new Hawk Moth.

Geography


France is the only country seen in the universe so far in the TV series, but other countries have been mentioned or referenced, including China, Egypt, Greece, Italy, the Patagonia region (in Argentina and Chile), the United Kingdom and its captial London, and Japan. If made, the special "The Chinese Legend" will involve Ladybug going to China. Outside the TV series, Ladybug and Cat Noir journey to New York in Miraculous Adventures and team up with other superheroes to stop the Trash Krakken.

Achu, the kingdom where Prince Ali and his chaperone live, is a fictional country that exists in the universe. However, it is unknown where in the world Achu is.
