My Rebooted Marvel Line

Here's my first list on Comic Vine! If I were to reboot Marvel comics, I would establish a real-time senario, where a year IRL is a year in the comics world. I think this would add some much needed progression to the universe, where characters age and change over time. It would stop fake deaths and would allow the massive roster of characters to be stretched over a longer period of time, so we wouldn't end up with new legacy characters existing alongside existing heroes, but naturally have them teach the new generation and grow up, replacing the old heroes. I think it just makes more sense, and after 50 years or something, people will be ready to get their old heroes again, so you can start again and go from there. Anyways, starting with Year One, here's the rather minimalist lineup I would start with in a new Marvel continuity.

Timeline -

Here's an example of some major events that happen in the first 10 years. Having a plan and a buildup like the MCU shows restraint and makes fans excited to see where the story will go next, and if it will be covering original content or remaking classic stories.

• 1. Year One - Origins
• 2. Year Two - Attack on New York
• 3. Year Three - HYDRA Revealed
• 4. Year Four - Kang the Conquer
• 5. Year Five - Spider Man Introduced
• 6. Year Six - Planet Hulk
• 7. Year Seven - ULTRON
• 8. Year Eight - Civil War
• 9. Year Nine - Ragnarok
• 10. Year Ten - Infinity War

Infinity Stones -

The infinity stones are integral to the buildup of the universe for the first 10 years, ending in Infinity War, same as the MCU. However, the Stones are all swapped around for some fun factor.

• 
  SPACE: The Tesseract is used by Loki to try and take over the Earth. It is then left in the hands of Captain Marvel to safeguard, enabling her space teleportation.
• 
  REALITY: The Heart, the mysterious crystal that Black Bolt has used to control mutations of his people in Attilan.
• 
  SOUL:Adam Warlock, the all powerful hero who was made from the stone.
• 
  MIND: The Necklace eye of Agamotto, the Mind Stone provides the masters of the mystic arts knowledge of the univese and it's many secrets. They are sworn to protect it.
• 
  POWER: The Orb, the champions' trophie on Sakar. When Hulk becomes champion he earns the orb to find it a fake, and dethrones the Red King to find the real one had been used to power the city all these years.
• 
  TIME: The Seed of Yggdrasil, the life tree at the centre of Asgard. It enables Ragnarok, the cycle that keeps all Asgardians dying and returning to life. When Thor uproots the tree to stop Ragnarok, Thanos begins his plan to collect the stones that have all been found.
• fun fact, it spells THANOS together. Top to bottom.

Avengers

Being a reboot, there's a certain aim to subvert expectations while also pleasing fans. Also keeping a more equal balance of male/female and more ethnic characters without pushing a bunch of unknown PC characters is the goal. So I've gone for these characters, all people with solo series and all popular characters in their own right. While we will get Hulk and Cap just a few issues after, this is the starting lineup.

• 1. Captain Marvel
• 2. Iron Man
• 3. Thor
• 4. Black Panther
• 5. Firestar
• 6. Storm

Avengers In Time

The idea of having the Avengers be around from the 40s to the 80s is to move a lot of the B-list characters back in time to free up the space for newer heroes in this new continuities' modern day. Characters like Whizzer or Hank Pym will remain characters in the past. It gives Avengers History to be a little tongue and cheek with events that happened in these times, you can pay respects to different eras of comics, and have older characters still appear without having to keep up to date with them in modern day, as they can always be explored in flashback series'
