According to a perfectly respectable cosmological theory, our everyday universe is but one of many, each with its own set of beings and physical laws. So presumably Valhalla and the Olympian gods might be found in one; Captain America and Wonder Woman in another; Gotham City in yet another.

There were heaps of pictures taken, so the following (from Payback, Saucy Sous, Mile High, and of course Snappy) are just a selection. There'll be more....
