Marvel Chronology Project

There are many occassions in the MU where a character has died, or thought to have died, only to be revealed to never have died. For those time when they were not truly dead, sometimes they turn up in ways in which they should have been dead, like being met in the afterlife, or returning as members ...

For my Timeline, I work on the idea that the four male members were recruited before FF #1, mainly because Beast, the final recruit, was shown at the X-Mansion in Summer, 0 ME, the same "day" (MARVEL 75TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION #1, 2014) the FF launched in the Marvel-1. And thus, working ...

Unless it's also been retconned that they were not the children offered to the Whizzer after his wife died in childbirth, then they are still tied to 1958. I was always under the impression that Wanda and Pietro were roughly the same age as the X-Men, who were 16-17 in 0-1 ME, near the age of Johnn...

This is such a minor point, but can help for placements of young Tony Stark. In IRON MAN: HYPERVELOCITY #1-FB, he rides a motorcycle with Naomi Clark at the "age of seventeen," and notes he is just starting to grow his moustache. He also dated Meredith McCall when they were "both seve...

I have received several requests about how I determine the breakdown of years for my Marvel Timeline. Essentially, for almost every Modern Era Earth-616 comic published since FANTASTIC FOUR #1, 1961, I have been compiling a list of references to the passage of Marvel Time, under the assumption that ...

If it helps placing events of WWII, when they wrote the Bibliography fonline for the OHOTMU Hardcover, they placed nearly complete dates (month and year, occassionally specific date) for Captain America and Namor. The dates seem to be based upon there being a three month separation between the Publi...

Just wanted to note, you listed: BK:E (5th or 6th centuries AD) This actually occurred around the 1190s, just after the Third Crusade of King Richard the Lionheart. The Black Knight was Eobar Garrington, not Sir Percy. This should not effect your placement but just wanted to note it if any more info...

Has anyone come across any reference to the ages of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver? Per the Handbooks, it was initially 1958, and then the High Evolutionary kept them in suspended animation for decades, but with the recent revelation that Magneto was NOT their father, things are up in the air again. ...

For Banshee (Sean Cassidy), Siryn (Theresa Cassidy) and Black Tom Cassidy. Establishing some of the cornerstone dates, Banshhe first appeared (X-MEN #28, 1967) in 1 ME, Black Tom (X-MEN #101, 1976) in 4 ME, and Siryn (SPIDER-WOMAN #37, 1981) in 6 ME. Theresa was "twelve" when Tom put her i...

For Charles Xavier and Logan, when Logan escaped from the Weapon X facility, was there a story where Xavier was behind the scenes, telepathically communicating with Logan or something? I seem to recall this but am drawing a blank. Does anyone recall this detail? Upon further thought, this may have ...

For the Timeline of Professor X/Charles Xavier, his parents were Brian and Sharon Xavier, "who had worked on the first A-bomb project" (X-MEN #1, 1963), the Manhattan Project. Other Marvel characters who worked on the Manhattan Project were Howard Stark and Lord Moses. It is possible Sharo...

For Charles Xavier and Logan, when Logan escaped from the Weapon X facility, was there a story where Xavier was behind the scenes, telepathically communicating with Logan or something? I seem to recall this but am drawing a blank. Does anyone recall this detail? Upon further thought, this may have a...

I can't find the reference. Is it "Leaving government service after accidentally shooting a fellow a fellow agent"? I can't relate what it's referring to. I have not seen any other references in story or in the appendix. Yes, that's the statement i was referring to. I took it as referring...

The Handbooks do go a ways to explain this. Even outside of Logan's often fractured and reprogrammed memories, he and other agents are often under orders to act a certain way with certain individuals or on missions. Maybe they do know each other at certain points, maybe they do not, maybe they are p...

For Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers, constructed a rough timeline for her early years until her first appearance as the new Security Chief at Cape Canaveral in MARVEL SUPER-HEROES #13, 1968. She was born Car-Ell or Carol Danvers, the half-human/half-Kree daughter of Joe Danvers and Mari-Ell. At the the...
