Mikd'lty[script 1] (pronounced "Mc-dill-tee") is a planet in the Monceros System.[note 1]
Description[]
Mikd'lty is tidally locked with its sun, so one side of Mikd'lty always faces the sun, while the other does not.
The day side of Mikd'lty is molten hot at 3,600°F (about 1,982°C) and the night side is -320°F (about -196°C). There is a narrow 200ft wide[script 1] habitable zone in the middle of the two temperature extremes, called the twilight zone.
It appears that humans find it difficult to breathe Mikd'lty's atmosphere, as Ben appeared to be struggling and passed out after he reverted to himself while on Mikd'lty. Ultimate Echo Echo, Four Arms, and Cannonbolt had no difficulty breathing.
Society[]
Necrofriggian colonists live on Mikd'lty since neither the hot or cold climate affect them. They guard a quarter of the Map of Infinity in the temple. The temple has a series of traps, including Cerberus, that prevent people from getting the first quarter of the Map of Infinity. The visitors must take a guide with them in order to visit the temple safely.

Etymology[]
The planet's name is a pun on the McDonald's McDLT, famous for coming in two halves, one hot, one cold.
Trivia[]
- Mikd'lty was created by Dwayne McDuffie.[DRi 1]
- In the As Recorded script of Map of Infinity:
- Mikd'lty's sun is huge and dominates the sky.[script 1]
- All the light on the planet comes from one direction only, sun-side.[script 1]
- Mikd'lty is heavily inspired by exoplanet CoRoT-7b in the Monoceros System, with both planets being tidally-locked, very close to their star, and even sharing the same temperatures.
Notes[]
- ↑ In real life, the system is called the Monoceros System.
