As a “solution” to the problem of how the captured anti-registration heroes will be punished, Reed Richards and Tony Stark come up with a prison hidden within the Negative Zone that would house them – infinitely. This prison was name Project 42 (or Prison 42, later on) as it was the 42nd of a number of projects that Richards worked on during this time.

The prison itself was a dividing element within Tony Stark’s pro registration heroes, and it was labelled an especially inhumane punishment for the superhuman heroes who’d never done anything illegal before opposing the act. It is also ultimately one of the things that leads Peter Parker to reconsider his stance in the conflict, when he himself questions Stark’s judgement in using such a method.
