Well, at first, I was supposed to plan only making Earth-61615 my sole universe, but as time went on, I thought that retaining a grounded type of arc in a single reality didn't feel promising enough and would just me very little freedom to create more story arcs and characters without affecting its continuity, so I eventually decided it was time to expand and widen it even further by establishing my own multiverse.

In the matter regarding how I make my characters compelling, the reason I could think of is that I pretty much give importance or essence to the lore of my articles whenever I'm working on a particular character, or a universe. This may also be the reason I also tend to not immediately publish an article whenever that very character that I'm working on feels somewhat incomplete or is still lackluster and unsatisfying in my perspective, regarding a character's background, story, and all its other kinds of details. Instead, I'd rather take my time to brainstorm ideas rather than just rushing on the creation and development of a certain character and just call it a day. Character development and journey should be treated with value, and even if I would eventually kill some of them off, I should at least give them some sort of redemption arc to make their stay within continuity worth it and not wasteful. My advice on character development is that when making stories for your characters, you can maybe empathize or at least imagine the character as they live within the universe they are living in since that is what I usually do most of the time.

Moving on the last question on where how one would make such a compelling and driven universe/character, I mostly acquire inspirations from Marvel's pre-existing content, such as the now-beloved Marvel Cinematic Universe and the controversial Ultimate Universe. Sometimes, I even get inspirations from other fiction, pop culture franchises besides Marvel in order to improve their characteristics and personalities and make them just as unique and interesting from the original source material. That's all the advice I can give you in the meantime. Hope this helps.
