Wold Newton

The Wold Newton concept is a fictional idea suggesting that many famous fictional characters—like Sherlock Holmes, James Bond, and Tarzan—are connected through a shared origin. It proposes that a mysterious meteor strike in Wold Newton, England, in 1898 exposed certain individuals to radiation, giving them extraordinary abilities or traits. This event supposedly links these characters into a larger universe, creating a "family tree" of heroes and villains. While entirely fictional, it’s a creative way fans and writers explore the interconnectedness of different stories and characters across literature and popular culture.
