Year 0: 2016
== Phase One ==
* Fantastic Four, Vol. 1
** Arc One: Blastoff
*** Date: 3/3/2016 "Thorsday"
*** Reed Richards is the co-chair of the Future Foundation (Earth-31), a publicly-owned organization running out of Empire State University. Together with his best friend and fellow chair, Victor von Doom, he has organized the organization's first foray into space. Astronauts are von Doom, Richards, Richard's roommate Ben Grimm, and Doom's fiancee, Susan Storm.
*** On television, Tony Stark mocks Reed's socialist ambitions, claiming that the Cold War proved that capitalism is the way to rule space. His interview retorts with that maybe he is just jealous of Victor von Doom, who is challenging him for the title of the world's hottest man. Stark denies this, saying that Doom will be a lot less desirable after his marriage.
*** The space suits arrive, though Victor is disappointed to find that his suit is smaller than intended and thus doesn't fit. Still, he tells Reed that progress must goes on. Susan volunteers her little brother colllege freshman Johnny Storm to take Victor's place with the hopes that it might make him gain an actual interest in something other than partying; namely, science, like Reed. Johnny agrees, but only because he thinks he can use it to impress women.
*** In orbit, the Fantastic Four's ship is destroyed by the Bifrost. The passengers are saved by the Phoenix force, who transports them safely back to Earth. The last thing Sue sees before passing out back on Earth is Nick Fury approaching them.
** Arc Two: Containment
*** Weeks later, the Four awaken in SHIELD custody, finding Abigail Brand standing over them. Brand observes that they don't seem to be mutants, but describes them as mutates. The nature and genesis of their powers is unknown, and thus they must remain in SHIELD custody.
*** The Storms are the most aggravated by this fact. Grimm is depressed by his deformed appearance, Reed is subservient to his government, and Victor does not attempt to intervene (seemingly distracted). Johnny eventually relents upon realizing he's surrounded by hot SHIELD agents and nurses that will cater to his every whim. Sue gets mad at Victor for not wanting to save her.
*** A few weeks later, Johnny has seduced SHIELD nurse Sharon Carter. During coitus, he nearly burns her, but this only excites her. She wants to see what he can do, culminating with him accidentally burning a hole out of his cell in the Triskelion. Sue activates her invisibility and follows him, prompting Reed to follow. With no other choice, Grimm follows.
***

*** Victor summons the Bifrost onto himself, slicing his skin to pieces.
*** At the ending, Victor's body is returned to Latveria for medical care. SHIELD takes Hofund into their custody.
* Thor, Vol. 1
** Arc One: Awaken
*** Donald Blake wakes up at a construction site, only to find his boss mad at him for dozing off (or fainting) in the heat.
*** The next day (3/3/2016), the construction site is suddenly destroyed by something falling from the sky. The building falls into the street. Donald Blake rushes out into the street to save a passerby. He knocks the passerby out of the way, and clutches his hammer in his last dying moments. Before the pylon kills him, he transforms into Thor, allowing him to survive the collision.
** Arc Two:
*** Weeks later, Donald Blake awakens at the hospital, in the care of nurse Jane Foster, who informs him that he saved her life.
*** Days pass. Blake attempts to rehabilitate himself, but fails. Jane continues attending to him, urging him not to hurry.
*** Blake tells Jane that he doesn't have a sister. The visitor angrily reveals herself to be Lorelei, a native of Asgard, who has come to Earth to destroy the last vestiges of Thor for her beloved (Loki (Earth-31)), which includes destroying Mjolnir.
*** Jane tosses Blake the hammer, which he grabs, and activates the power of Thor. In retribution, Lorelei enchants Jane, and teleports the two of them away.

== Phase Two ==
* Fantastic Four, Vol. 2
** potentially involves the High Evolutionary inviting the Four overseas? or maybe he returns to earth excited about the fantastic four?
*** b-plots:
**** Thing and Alicia Masters?

**** Johnny Storm
***** starts hanging out with Bobby Drake?
***** Iceman confesses he has a crush on Johnny, but Johnny comes off as homophobic
***** this causes a little bit of more FF/X-Men tension
** The High Evolutionary tells Reed his philosophy:
*** Humanity is at an evolutionary arms race.
*** There are mutants, and then there are mutates. If humanity doesn't find some way to advance itself, it will be wiped out and made redundant by the mutants. (This alludes to the High Evolutionary having come in contact with Nathaniel Essex and Apocalypse)
*** The High Evolutionary tells Reed that there are more subhumans than he could ever dream of - he has seen "men at the heart of Africa empowered by gods, races of bird people, wolf-men, people living under the sea, and even living vampires"
*** With this in mind
** maybe, for a brief time, Reed even dates Jessica Drew?
** this is where Sue realizes she has feelings for Reed, because she cares so much about him dating Jessica and how his morals seem to be straying from heroism to mutant suppression
** Finale:
*** Doctor Doom, who has now fashioned himself a metal armor, welcomes the High Evolutionary into his castle.
**** is this building to a whole crossover like a "Doom War" or "Masters of Evil"? Helmut Zemo emerges to fight Cap and organizes the Masters, which includes Doom and H.E.? maybe Doom blindsides the Masters of Evil?
** then after this, next volume, they go on a well-earned vacation? maybe Reed wants to follow some of the High Evolutionary's discoveries?

**
* X-Men Origins, Vol. 1
** Arc One: Xavier
*** Enchanted by Xavier's emotions, Cain Marko turns on his parents and brutally murders them.

** Arc Two: Erik
*** At the orphanage, Xavier meets a fellow orphan named Erik Lehnsherr.
*** Xavier is plagued by nightmares of what happened to his brother.
*** One day Erik accidentally reveals his powers to Charles, by using it to steal candy from a vending machine. Xavier confronts Erik about it, wanting to know more of what he can do. 
*** Together, Xavier and Erik trick a cashier into leaving a register unattended, and Erik then uses his powers to break into the register. Xavier is worried, and points out what they just did is undeniably robbery. Erik says it doesn't matter; humans are a different breed of person from them, anyways, and besides, if the humans knew they were mutants they would probably kill them (citing what happened to Cain as a result). Xavier asks Erik how he knows about Cain, and Erik says he saw it in the visions Xavier projects while he's sleeping, but that not to worry, because the two of them are mutants and have to stick together and thus he won't tell anyone.
** Arc Three: Mystique
*** One day, whilst traveling on the rails to avoid mutant "sundown towns", the two mutants are tricked by a pickpocket. Magnus is able to steal his coins back, but the thief still escapes with their paper money. Erik asks Xavier if he can use his powers to locate the mutant.

***Wheelchairing through Cairo, Xavier is pickpocketed by a young Ororoe Munroe. Feeling a strong mutant presence from around her, he decides to track her. 
***Xavier arrives at the diner owned by Amahl Farouk, the secret headquarters of his Thieves Guild. 
***The Shadow King tells Xavier that he knows he has a dark past, and in fact feeds off of mutants with such a dark past as his. He urges Xavier to surrender to him, to give into the pain, but Xavier resists. 
***Just as Xavier is about to give in, he sees a vision of all of the mutants on Earth that will perish without his help. He suddenly gains the strength to fight back and defeats the Shadow King in telepathic conflict. Amahl Farouk, the host of the Shadow King, has his body evaporated.
