This is a description of the [[Marvel Universe]]'s major events in Chronological order.
Line 7:
* Creation Of The Universe — A previous universe collapses into a “cosmic egg” that later explodes, creating the current universe. This is apparently a [[Eternal Recurrence|cyclic event]], overseen by [[Cosmic Being|Cosmic Beings]].
** The last living man of the previous universe is absorbed by the egg, and becomes [[Galactus]] billions of years later.
* Life begins on Earth.
** The first gods appear, but eventually turn into [[Eldritch Abominations|demonic creatures]] after they begin eating each other for power. To stop them, [[Mother Earth|Gaea the Earth Goddess]] gives birth to Atun the Sun-god who, in his own [[Super
*** One of them, Cthon, leaves behind [[Tome of Eldritch Lore|The Darkhold]], a set of parchments of evil magic that will cause many terrible events.
== Millions of Years Ago: ==
Line 17:
== Pre-Historical times: ==
* [[Atlantis]], humanity’s first great civilization, arose. One of its most notable rulers was [[Conan the Barbarian]]’s ancestor, King Kull. (Yes, this is still canon despite Marvel no longer having the right to use the Conan characters. They just [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|never use the exact names anymore]].)
** Humanity spreads over Earth and develops several cultures (many of these become the ancestors of later civilizations eg. The Egyptians).
* The Darkhold -now bound into a book- was used in Atlantis to create [[Vampire Monarch|Vecna, the first vampire]].
* Eventually, Atlantis developed technology even more advanced than present-day Earth’s. Unfortunately, its use in a war with The Deviants’ empire (on Lemuria, a similar island in the Pacific) led to their mutual destruction (when The Celestials got dragged into it.)
Line 24:
* A [[Portal Network|major space warp]] within our solar system brings many [[Ancient Astronauts|alien races]] to Earth. One of them was The Kree, who experiment on some primitive humans, creating what would (eventually) become [[The Inhumans|The Inhuman race]].
== The Time of Myths: ==
* Beings of great power are worshiped as gods. Most were immortal, super strong [[Human Aliens]] from [[Another Dimension|other dimensions]] (this applies to most current Earth Pantheons eg. [[The Mighty Thor]]’s.)
** Many Eternals were mistaken for gods and other mythological figures. The [[Greek Mythology|Olympian Gods]] even explicitly arranged for some Eternals to represent them among humans in exchange for permitting them to keep their invisible city hidden in Mount Olympus.)
* [[Ancient Egypt]] is temporarily ruled by Pharaoh Rama-Tut, actually [[Conqueror From the Future|a time traveler from the future]]. He will later assume several identities, including Kang The Conqueror. (Note: none of the futures Kang comes from are part of the main Marvel Universe's timeline.)
Line 35:
== The 20th Century ==
* 1910: Kang The Conqueror establishes the small town of Timely, from which he shares his superscientific knowledge with certain individuals (such as the creator of the Human Torch android) for his own purposes.
* The first hero team, The Freedom's Brigade, forms to fight the Germans in World War I. Its most notable member is Britain's [[Wearing a Flag
* Kang The Conqueror (see
* The Existence of superhumans has been known openly since the 1940’s, since Namor the [[Sub
** Unfortunately this led to hate mongers spreading fear about [[Mutants]] that is still strong to this day.
** The [[Ridiculously Human Robot|android Human Torch]] is the first superpowered hero.
** Namor, The Torch, [[Captain America (comics)]], Union Jack and other heroes join forces to battle Nazis as "The Invaders". They become the All-Winners Squad after the war, but break up soon after.
* From the fifties and on, the American government tried to either take control of the costumed heroes or shut them down, for example the [[
** A secret team of heroes, ''The First Line'' , operates outside of public knowledge. They all die preventing a Skrull invasion of Earth during the 1980's. [[The Greatest Story Never Told|The public at large never finds out]].
* Aliens are also known to exist since [[The Fifties]] when many alien criminals tried ([[Easily
== The Present: ==
* About 13 years ago, the [[Fantastic Four]] make their debut, heralding a new age of superheroes.
* [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]] form soon after.
* As do the [[X
* And [[The Defenders]].
* As does [[Spider
== The Future ==
(note: The Marvel Universe has [[Alternate Timeline|multiple possible futures]]; these are just the most likely to happen)
* [[Marvel Comics 2|About two decades into the future]]: The sons and daughters of many heroes -[[Spider Girl|most notably Spider-Man's daughter]]- carry on with their parent's legacy as heroes.
* At some point in the 21st century: the space portal in Earth's solar system is closed, isolating it from the rest of the universe.
* [
** A resurrected [[Doctor Doom]] conquers the world, to save it from the megacorps.
** By the end of the year, the space portal has been reopened.
