Marvel Crossover Universe - Timeline

WildC.A.T.s/X-Men #1, "The Golden Age" is set an indeterminate time during World War 2. I have arbitrarily placed it in 1944.

Team X/Team 7 #1, "All Sold Out" is set "some years ago". The Marvel Appendix places it 20-30 years ago from, I presume, the start of the modern age in 1961. I've taken an estimate of 25 years. Regarding topical references, the 1970 world series is referenced, as is Montreal holding the Stanley Cup from 1956 to 1960.

Darkseid vs Galactus: The Hunger #1, "The Hunger" is set before Silver Surfer discovers Earth. It provides interesting lore, such as showing DC's version of Thor on Urgrund prior to Ragnarök, suggesting that he was reincarnated as the Marvel version. It also depicts Galactus' arrival to Earth-7642 soon after the destruction of the previous incarnation of the multiverse and the Big Bang. In Earth-616, Silver Surfer was said to serve Galactus for almost a solar century before his encounter with the Fantastic Four, and was shown to be active in WW2. We can estimate a date of Year -90, but this will eventually contradict the WW2 showings, so I've simply placed it in the 20th century pre-WW2.

Godzilla vs Fantastic Four #1 is set after the Fantastic Four first defeat Galactus. A version of the original Godzilla film occurred in Year 1 or Year 2 of the Sliding Timeline.

WildC.A.T.s/X-Men #2, "The Silver Age" features the first incarnation of the X-Men team, setting it early in the timeline. Cole North refers to being part of Team 7.

Superman vs The Amazing Spider-Man #1, "The Battle of the Century" depicts the first meeting between Superman and Spider-Man. It is set in winter, which can be estimated as January. Superman's backstory dating is determined through applying his Pre-Crisis Earth-1 timeline to Marvel's sliding timeline. Spider-Man's origin takes place in Year 1.

WildC.A.T.s/X-Men #3, "The Modern Age" is set between the formation of the second team of X-Men and the events of the Dark Phoenix Saga, placing it in Year 5. It occurs on April 30th with flashbacks to February. The topical reference placement appears to be specifically April 30th, 1977 due to it being the date of which the Hellfire club invitation is set on. This also matches with the days of the week as it is said to be a weekend, as well as Jean having the Phoenix Force still. This places it between the release dates of Superman vs The Amazing Spider-Man #1, "The Battle of the Century" and Pow! Biff! Pops! #1, solidifying the placement.

Godzilla vs Hulk #1 is set shortly before 1980 in regards to its topical referenced setting, placing it in Year 5. Tony Stark and Fin Fang Foom are claimed to have died, although both later appear in Godzilla vs Avengers #1.

Marvel Treasury Edition #28, "Superman and Spider-Man: The Heroes and the Holocaust!", despite coming out in 1981, has to be set before Pow! Biff! Pops! #1 due to Wonder Woman meeting Spider-Man for the first time and being convinced to attack him on sight. It refers back to Spider-Man's first encounter with Superman, a footnote even referencing how he met Lois Lane previously in that comic.

Pow! Biff! Pops! #1 is set in July. The topical references here place it in 1978. It depicts a team-up between Superman, Captain America, Wonder Woman, Batman, Robin, the Sub-Mariner, Human Torch (Johnny Storm) and Spider-Man. Wonder Woman and Captain America last met in 1942 during World War 2.

Bat Man vs. The Incredible Hulk #1, "The Monster and the Madman" is set in Summer, which I've determined as August due to a calendar with 31 days beginning on Sunday and ending on Tuesday, matching the 1982's calendar, that being the release year.

The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans #1, "Apokolips... Now!" depicts the first meeting between the Teen Titans and the X-Men. Dick Grayson has left Batman to join the Titans by this point. The Avengers and the Justice League are referenced.

Deathblow/Wolverine #1-2 set themselves in 1982, which I've translated to the sliding timeline due to the fact that Wolverine is already part of the X-Men.

Godzilla vs Spider-Man #1 references the events of Godzilla vs Hulk #1 and is set shortly after the original Secret Wars event, depicting an alternate version of how Peter learned the symbiote is alive. In this universe, Godzilla went after the symbiote on Peter and, after causing his symbiote to leave him, became a symbiote-suited Godzilla. With Peter's help, Godzilla defeated the Venom symbiote and left New York. Eddie Brock came across the symbiote in the aftermath, causing it to fuse with him creating Godvenom. Backlash/Spider-Man #2 provides more context that suggests this leads back to the status quo, with Peter going to the Fantastic Four to contain the symbiote, either due to it attaching itself back to Peter or due to the threat of Godvenom. Eventually, it escapes and finds Eddie again who now becomes the traditional Venom.

In Batman/Punisher #1, "Lake of Fire", Jean-Paul Valley has taken over the mantle of Batman.

The Punisher Meets Archie #1, "When Worlds Collide" is set in July due to Archie helping to set up a fourth of July parade. Interestingly, the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z #7 references Earth-616's Millie Collins going to a Riverdale dance during a confrontation between the Punisher and Red Fever. The Appendix suggests that, since Red Fever is owned by Marvel and Archie, they likely exist in Earth-616, Earth-Archie and Earth-7642, thus the guidebook is referring to Earth-616's version of events. This is similar to DC referencing Darkseid being stuck in the source wall after The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans #1, "Apokolips... Now!", Jean-Paul Valley mentioning meeting Jigsaw after the events of Batman/Punisher #1, "Lake of Fire", and Nightwing referencing Jimmy Navarone being axed by a vigilante known by something similar to Pulverizer or Penetrator, as seen in Punisher/Batman #1, "Deadly Knights". At the end of the comic, the Punisher and Microchip head to Gotham City, leading directly into the events of Punisher/Batman #1, "Deadly Knights".

As mentioned, Punisher/Batman #1, "Deadly Knights" picks up shortly afterwards. Bruce has returned to the Batman mantle and meets the Punisher for the first time. Tim Drake is now Robin.

Spider-Man and Batman #1, "Disordered Minds" depicts a team-up between Spider-Man and Batman against the Joker and Carnage.

Despite not being related to Marvel, Archie vs. Predator #1-4 is retroactively placed on Earth-7642 due to its sequel. In Archie vs. Predator II #1-5, Betty and Veronica are transported to an alternate universe that resembles the rebooted Archie continuity. When Yautja start to attack, Veronica attempts to call Frank Castle's number for help, but that number belongs to Bucky Barnes in this timeline. Due to the fact that there's fourth wall-breaking text telling the reader not to worry because it's not in-continuity with the rebooted Archie comics, I've taken the second series to be set in Earth-94415, the Alien vs Predator universe.
