Villains: Baron Blood (as Captain America), Bucky, Red Raven, Sub-Mariner, Toro
Summary:
(1) The Apeverse Watcher briefly recaps the events of issues 1-3.
(2-4) At Ape-Vengers Tower, Baron Blood (as Captain America) has Marty beaten by Ape-X until Fiona agrees to open the portal to Earth-616. Daytime, green trees. Probably Marty and Fiona's fifth day in the Apeverse.
(5-20) At FF headquarters, Blood (as Cap) has Fiona fix the portal, with the Ape-Vengers and the FF present. Marty plans to push her through the portal and trash the machine. The Outcasts arrive and clash with the other heroes. As the real Cap reclaims his shield, Blood and the Invaders are revealed as vampires, and all the heroes join forces against them. Fiona opens the portal as Blood severely injures Speedball. Marty and Fiona take the injured Speedball through the portal. Ape X destroys the portal, and the explosion destroys the top floors of the FF HQ to keep them from being followed. The heroes are protected by Sue's force field, but most of the vampires are destroyed. Spider-Monkey has captured the vampire Bucky. Ape X was next to the exploding portal, and there is no sign of him after the battle. Nighttime, full moon (5-19); battles ends during early morning (20). Probably nighttime of Marty and Fiona's fifth day in the Apeverse, leading into the morning of the sixth day.
(21-23) Back on Earth-616, the simian Speedball recovers at State University (probably in Hegemon, NY) and tells Marty and Fiona he wants to stay on their Earth. Daytime, green trees. "The next day" and a clock tower shows it to be about 12:45 (in the afternoon?), so this is probably the day after the night of M/APES 4 (5-19) and a few hours after the early morning of M/APES (20).
(24) In Los Angeles, the human Roy Reyna and his friends (Oso, Pinto, Vernita) look for a shooting star that landed in a park. Roy finds a mexican wrestling mask. Daytime, green trees in LA. They are looking for the shooting star from "the other night," so probably the day after M/APES 4 (20) and (21-23).
(25) At State U, Marty and Fiona talk about his saving the world. Daytime, green trees. Possibly same day as M/APES 4 (24).
(26) At Avengers Tower on Earth-616, the monkey Speedball asks to joins the Avengers (Ares, Iron Man, Ms. Marvel, Wasp, Wonder Man). Daytime, "a few weeks later." Note that Speedball mentioned Jarvis directing him to the Avengers, so there is a BTS appearance for him, and given the placement of this story, this could be the Skrull impersonating Jarvis from SECINV.
Here is a brief summary of M/APES 1-4 for placement in Paul Bourcier's Marvel Calender:
Day 1. Marty encounters the Avengers (Iron Man, Wasp, Ms. Marvel, Black Widow) and Red Ghost.
Day 2. Marty arrives at State U and meets FIona.
Day 5. Marty and Fiona transported to Apeverse. Full moon on Earth-616.
Day 6. They meet the Ape-Vengers.
Day 8. Marty, Speedball and Ape X battle Wolverine. Baron Blood kills Reed. Marty and Fiona found by Outcasts. Full moon in Apeverse.
Day 9. Marty, Fiona and Outcasts rescue true Cap. Marty and FIona captured.
Day 10. Heroes battle vampires. Marty, Fiona and Speedball return to Earth-616. Full moon in Apeverse.
Day 11. Morning immediately after battle. Speedball recovers on Earth-616.
Day 12. Roy finds mask. Fiona and Marty talk.
"Weeks later." Speedball meets with Avengers (Ares, Iron Man, Ms. Marvel, Wasp, Wonder Man).
Paul, you should probably be able to incorporate the Earth-616 full moon on Day 5 into the Calendar. The full moons in the Apeverse on Days 8 and 10 in the Apeverse are probably part of the three days of the full moon in their own lunar cycle and unrelated to Earth-616. It is known that lunar cycles of some universes are not necessarily synchronistic with Earth-616. In Nightman v2 #2/2, it was noted by Daimon Hellstrom that there was a full moon in the Ultraverse but not on Earth-616.
The story occurs BEFORE the Secret Invasion (Wasp is still alive), after ASM3 554 (reference to the DB newspaper, M/APES 1), after the Civil War (due to current lineup of the Avengers, M/APES 1 and M/APES 4, and reference to Speedball destroying a city, M/APES 2), after CA5 34 (appearance of human Bucky as new Captain America, M/APES 2).
When Fiona's fixes the machine, there are numerous images that appear from current series that may help us place these events. Unfortunately, there is a scene from the final battle in Secret Invasion, a battle in which Wasp dies, which contradicts her later appearance in M/APES 4 (26). Any suggestions on placement?
