X-Men (1992-1997) - Timeline

[selfishmisery]

I feel the same about about a lot of the 2000s movie. I think Raimi Spider-man, Ang Lee Hulk, Cage's Ghost Rider and the 2000s Fantastic Four could fit together quite well

But nah, separate universes I suppose

The problem with going back and changing that after the fact is that a lot of these TV/Film reality numbers are printed in official Marvel Handbooks. So it's technically permanent unless they reprint a volume and change the number, but I don't recall that ever happening...

I feel that there needs to be some small level of connection before considering two things the same universe, personally. Gives it some level of authenticity.

Oh I understand that, I just feel all of those movies share a similar aesthetic, but you are right in that there are no narrative links

Some notes on Earth-534834
Iron Man 2x11, "Hulk Buster" takes place before The Incredible Hulk 1x04, "Helping Hand, Iron Fist".

Fantastic Four 2x09, "Nightmare in Green" takes place before The Incredible Hulk 1x08, "Fantastic Fortitude".

Fantastic Four 2x06, "To Battle the Living Planet" probably takes place after The Incredible Hulk 2x08, "Mission: Incredible", because She-Hulk is an Avenger by then and that was never brought up in Hulk. It's definitely after The Incredible Hulk 2x07-2x08 at least, so it's already breaking release order.

The timeline probably vaguely follows something like:
1994

The Incredible Hulk 1x06, "Man to Man, Beast to Beast"

1997
Fantastic Four 2x01, "And a Blind Man Shall Lead Them"
Fantastic Four 2x02, "Inhumans Saga, Part 1: And the Wind Cries Medusa"
Fantastic Four 2x03, "Inhumans Saga, Part 2: The Inhumans Among Us"

Fantastic Four 2x06, "To Battle the Living Planet"
Fantastic Four 2x08, "When Calls Galactus"
Fantastic Four 2x12, "The Sentry Sinister"
Fantastic Four 2x13, "Doomsday"

Granted, this is just an educated guess.

Both Earth-92131 and Earth-534834 are both generally considered the Marvel Animated Universe from the 1990s. Seems reasonable to include the seperate timelines on the same thread, I suppose.

One more difference between the two is that on Earth-534834, Bill Clinton is president, while on Earth-92131, Robert Kelly became president, replacing an unnamed female president.

I need to redo my 2000s Marvel Animated Universes thread soon...

The '90s Marvel cartoons paid homage to current events of the time by featuring both Bill and Hillary Clinton as President.

The 90s Are Back! X-Men '92 Puts A Radical New Spin On House Of X

Steve Foxe and Salva Espin team up on new series X-MEN ’92: HOUSE OF XCII #1, coming in April

www.marvel.com

Well, this is gonna be interesting. New comic and new tv series... this is probably not set after X-Men '92 unless it is and it's supposed to explain why the population of the planet isn't mutants and Xavier is alive in X-Men '97. I don't think they planned it out that much, though.

X-Men '97 Will Continue Directly from the Original Series' Finale - IGN

X-Men ’97 will pick up from X-Men: The Animated Series' cliffhanger ending, and will reportedly consist of 10 episodes, premiering in mid-2023.

Apparently X-Men '97 will follow directly from the finale of the original show.

Earth-751263

marvel.fandom.com

This is another '90s shared universe. Because of the character designs and Easter Eggs, it's got to be closely related to Earth-92131. It's not officially connected, though.


I don't know why it's hard to believe that Captain America was freed from the time Vortex off-screen, but it's what Marvel says so...

My theory is that maybe he did eventually escape but at some point in the past, creating a branch. But who knows...

Aren't there too many inconsistencies with the X-Men series and the F4/Iron Man/Hulk shows for them to be in the same timeline, regardless of this scene?

Different Earth number.

 

[selfishmisery]

View attachment 679

This is why Marvel needs to condense their realities and suggest the Marvel Appendix that chronicles them to do the same.

The Captain America in a time portal thing means separate Earths but Earth-12041 (Ultimate Spider-Man, Agents of SMASH, Avengers Assemble) has FAR worse continuity errors than that.

 

[selfishmisery]

Are there any continuity issues with Spider-Man: TAS and Spider-Man Unlimited? Because the different Earth number for the latter could just mean just the Counter-Earth number but...I guess not.

I think there’s something with Venom that’s different in the two shows. I’ve not seen either yet so I’m not sure.

So X-Men '92 Vol. 1/"Infinite Comics" is simultaneously canon and non-canon.

X-POSITION: Bowers & Sims X-Plore the New "X-Men '92"-niverse

"X-Men '92" co-writers Chad Bowers and Chris Sims answer your questions about the new '90s-powered ongoing series.

www.cbr.com

Believe it or not, this is something that we've thought about a lot. The short version is that the stuff that we did in "Secret Wars" still happened, just not quite the way that you read it in the miniseries. Cassandra Nova, Clear Mountain, the plot to kill Robert Kelly, that's all stuff that the X-Men just went through right before we pick up on the ongoing. The difference is, of course, that it just happened on their Earth, not on Battleworld. It's a lot like the way that we approached building the miniseries and the idea of the "Westchester Wars," so that we could have X-Men who went through all those classic stories, just compressed into a shorter, five-year time frame. Fortunately, since we were one of the books that didn't tie too closely into the core "Secret Wars" series, it's an easy fix -- you just have to call him "President Kelly" instead of "Baron Kelly" and maybe take away that flying chariot pulled by Warwolves.

I was so confused, not gonna lie. I mean, technically I shouldn't include it because it occurs in Doom's patchwork Battleworld but they reference events from it so I don't know. I think it's fine as it is.

Also, X-Men '92 Vol. 2 #3 uses the correct Earth number, that being Earth-92131. I love to see it.

So in layman's terms: The X-Men 92 comics take place in an alternate reality created via Battleworld?

So in layman's terms: The X-Men 92 comics take place in an alternate reality created via Battleworld?

Nah, only the first volume. Similar events from the Battleworld issues take place in the main reality.

X-Men '92 Vol. 1/Infinite Comics = Battleworld
X-Men '92 Vol. 2 = Earth-92131

Events from Battleworld happened but without the Battleworld influences. Instead of Baron Kelly it's President Kelly, for example.

The new show still has to be set prior to X-Men '92.

 

[Pro Bot]

So the order has to be:

X-Men Season 1-5
X-Men '97 Season 1 (picks up after the series finale)
X-Men '92: House of XCII #1-5
(Alt.) X-Men '92: Infinite Comics #1-8 (Magneto died offscreen)
X-Men '92 #1-10 (Professor X dies, everyone becomes a mutant)

I find it interesting that the newest comic ignores the ending of the original '92 series. No big deal, its just a prequel I guess, same as the new series intentionally or otherwise.
