The DC Comics and Marvel Comics UniversesSince "Elseworlds" versions of DC Comics mainstays Superman, The Batman, Sgt. Rock, the Unknown Soldier, Slam Bradley, the Elongated Man, and Blackhawk inhabit The Wold Newton Universe, it makes sense that the DC Universe is an alternate reality to the WNU.
Likewise, an "Elseworlds" version of Captain America also resides in the WNU, making the Marvel Comics Universe another parallel reality to the WNU.
This is borne out by three crossovers between The Marvel Universe's The X-Men and Star Trek, which is part of the WNU. The crossovers unequivocally state that The X-Men come from an alternate reality to that of the Enterprise crew members.
The three crossovers are:
2264 Star Trex - a one-shot comic wherein The X-Men meet Kirk and company
2373 Second Contact - a one-shot comic wherein The X-Men meet Picard and company
2374 Planet X - novel by Michael Jan Friedman wherein The X-Men meet Picard and company once again
Ben O'Neill writes that there are "Marvel Comics-based novels: the Spider-Man/X-Men: Time's Arrow Trilogy. In Book 2, there were descriptions of The Shadow and Godzilla in certain parts of the book. Though I don't think they had any real significance to the story (except to stress that many alternate universes were a stake), it provided a lot of cameos that were fun to catch. I recently read them over again, and found what I think is a description of Doc Savage. Now, they don't come right out and say the names of these characters, but I think it's pretty obvious who they're trying to portray. I don't know if this has any real impact on the Newtonverse, except to demonstrate that the Newtonverse was one of the many, many universes to be affected by Kang the Conqueror's evil scheme."
Apparently both The Shadow and Doc Savage made cameo appearances in Marvels. None of these appearances fit into Wold Newton continuity.
Additionally, the "Ultimate Marvel Universe" appears to be an alternate universe to the mainstream Marvel Universe. It recently featured a team-up between Spider-Man and Shang Chi (the Master of Kung Fu), where Shang's father was explicitly referred to as Fu Manchu.
Marvel's What If? series also provides glimpses into universe which are alternate to both the mainstream Marvel Universe and the Wold Newton Universe. In one such universe, Shang Chi continued to fight along side his father, Dr. Fu Manchu -- at least for a time. In another universe, Conan the Barbarian was transported to July 1977, although he made it back to his own time period (What If? number 13). In yet another parallel reality, Conan did not get back to his own time-frame, and had to adapt to 20th Century life (What If? number 43).

The WildStorm Comics Universe
by Loki Carbis
As with the DC and Marvel Comics Universes, the WildStorm Universe is also an alternate Universe to the Wold Newton Universe. This can be most clearly seen by the various Wold Newton characters who have alternate versions in it, including the Batman, Captain Nemo and the Nautilus, Carnacki, Dracula, Baron Frankenstein and his monster, the Invisible Man, Indiana Jones, Lois Lane, Robur the Conqueror, Sherlock Holmes, the Steam Man of the Plains, Superman, John Drake (aka The Prisoner) and the Van Helsing family.
The WildStorm Universe also contains a vast number of analogues of various Wold Newton characters, as listed below:
In "StormWatch: Change or Die":
The High (John Cumberland), Smoke and Rite: analogues of Superman, the Shadow and Wonder Woman respectively
In "StormWatch: A Finer World":
Apollo, The Midnighter and Amaze: analogues of Superman, the Batman and Wonder Woman respectively
In "The Authority: Under New Management":
The Commander: analogue of Captain America
In "Planetary: All Over The World and Other Stories":
Doc Brass (Axel Brass): analogue of Doc Savage
Hark: analogue of Fu Manchu
The Agent (Jimmy): analogue of Operator 5
The Jungle Lord: analogue of Tarzan
The Inventor: analogue of Tom Swift
The Aviator: analogue of G-8
The Millionaire Vigilante: analogue of the Spider
The Monsters of Zero Island: analogues of Gojira, Mothra, Ghidorah and others
In "Planetary: The Fourth Man":
un-named alien: analogue of Superman
The Ambassador: analogue of Wonder Woman
John Stone: analogue of James Bond
In "The Establishment" issues #1-2
Mister Pharmacist: analogue of Doctor Who
Equus and Scarlett: analogues of John Steed and Emma Peel
(Editor's Note: For an alternative theory, proposing that Planetary
is not a parallel universe to the Wold Newton Universe,
but rather takes place within it, please read
Secret Wars by Jess Nevins.)
