After its debut, the Vault quickly began to appear throughout Marvel's line of titles as it became the standard destination of imprisoned super-humans in the Marvel Universe. Several storylines were based around the notion of superheroes being imprisoned in the facility or a number of inmates coordinating a prison break. In 1991, the facility was the subject and main setting for the original graphic novel "Avengers: Deathtrap, the Vault" (later republished as "Venom: Deathtrap, the Vault") which was written by Danny Fingeroth with art by Ron Lim.
