The organization exists in Marvel's main shared universe, known as the Marvel Universe.

The characters Count Nefaria and his daughter Madame Masque have both been leaders of an important Maggia family.
  • La Maggia est une organisation criminelle fictive, créée par Marvel Comics. Le nom s'explique par un choix politiquement correct qui veut, aux États-Unis, que cette dénomination soit discriminatoire envers les italiens et la communauté italienne. Ainsi, le terme « Maffia » ne pouvant être utilisé, le terme de « Maggia » a été retenu par le comité éditorial. Originaire d'Italie, l'organisation s'étendit rapidement dans les pays d'Europe de l'Ouest et aux USA, vers 1890. Son domaine de prédilection était la contrebande, en particulier de l'alcool, lors de la Prohibition. Elle contrôlait aussi des casinos à Atlantic City et Las Vegas, et avait de l'influence sur la politique locale. Ces dernières années, la Maggia a investi ses gains dans de solides et honnêtes corporations. La Maggia est une organisation dure, qui n'hésite pas à punir de mort ses ennemis et les traîtres. Elle est constituée de plusieurs branches, ou familles, la plupart étant basées à NYC.
  • Maggia è il nome di un'organizzazione criminale immaginaria dell'Universo Marvel, creata da Stan Lee (testi) e Jack Kirby (disegni) negli anni settanta. La sua prima apparizione come famiglia di New York di Testa di martello è in The Fantastic Four (prima serie) n. 101.
