Earth-2464 is an original universe that exists within the Marvel Multiverse. Many of the heroes share similarities to counterparts from different dimensions, but simultaneously diverge from their other selves in various different ways. Occasionally, I borrow concepts and ideas from pre-existing Marvel stories and rework them. These concepts can range from events to origin stories and character relationships. However, the stories I write within these confines are entirely of my own creation.
Below is a timeline of events—both minor and important—that have transpired in this universe so far, leading up to the modern day.
As I write and post more stories within this universe, the timeline will be updated along with them. I plan to tell one collective, interconnecting story from the viewpoints of my favorite Marvel characters that will eventually culminate in different crossover stories.
Note: Creating an entire Marvel universe is a pretty large undertaking and I hope I've done a good job so far. That said, if anyone who feels they truly understand these characters and could add something to it, feel free to message me. The idea of this universe becoming a collaboration of many great writers is something I'd very much love to strive for.
