High Evolutionary demonstrates that Rocket's solution worked, forcing various animals to go through his programmed evolution, but this time, not violent. Amazed by their accomplishment, Rocket asks if this means he is going to the new world.

High Evolutionary instructs Vim and Theel to prep Rocket for the removal of Rocket's brain in the morning and to incinerate the rest of Batch 89.

Annoyed by their crying, High Evolutionary mocks Rocket, who, overwhelmed with grief and hatred toward his creator, jumps onto his face and mauls him, disfiguring him. High Evolutionary's men open fire on Rocket, killing both Floor and Teefs, but Rocket fires back and kills them.

8. ↑ In *So This Is Christmas?*, Wilson Fisk says that Derek Bishop owed him a small fortune. Fisk's criminal activities started at least by September 2007, when he is shown working with William Lopez (see 2000s references). Fisk loaning the money can be approximated to the midpoint of this and Bishop's death on May 4, 2012 (see 2012 references), January 3, 2010.
9. ↑ In *Ant-Man and the Wasp*, several moments are shown from Ava Starr's past at S.H.I.E.L.D.. Hannah John-Kamen was 28.05 at the middle of filming and should not be playing Starr at an age any younger than ⅔ of her actual age, so 18.70, meaning, based on Starr's approximated date of birth (see 1980s references), that the scenes should be after April 26, 2007. One moment appears to say "01-8 Thu", suggesting it is Thursday, January 8, 2009. Evenly distributing between these two dates, the first set of scenes should be approximately September 29, 2007, March 4, 2008, and August 7, 2008, before then January 8, 2009. Then after that, the remaining scenes are between then and the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. on March 5, 2014 (see 2014 references). Evenly distributing again, the remaining scenes should be January 19, 2010, January 31, 2011, February 12, 2012, and February 22, 2013.
10. ↑ *Ant-Man and the Wasp*
11. ↑ 11.0 11.1 In *A Duel of Iron*, Walker says she was freed after "22 months". On Marvel Television Live Auction Lot #886: Mary Walker's Classified Papers, it says Walker "served 8 years in various locals" before being "captured and held in isolation". Taking Alice Eve's age at the time of filming and working back from the setting, Mary Walker would have been born around September 1981. Given that she then could have joined the army no earlier than September 1998, the earliest she could have been kidnapped then would be January 1, 2006 (and calling it "8 years" in the general sense of "2006 - 1998 = 8") making the middle of her imprisonment roughly early December 2006 at the earliest. In *Citadel on the Edge of Vengeance*, it is said that Walker's escape was "years ago", making it roughly late 2015 at the latest, so the middle of her imprisonment roughly January 2015 at the latest. Using the mid-point of this window to approximate, the middle of her imprisonment can therefore be calculated to be roughly December 21, 2010, making her imprisonment roughly January 21, 2010-November 21, 2011. The specifics of the calculation can be found here.
12. ↑ 12.0 12.1 *Black Widow*
13. ↑ 13.0 13.1 In *Black Widow*, an opening montage shows several scenes of the Red Room training girls, including Natasha Romanoff, and operating through history, which is implied to be occurring after Natasha Romanoff and Yelena Belova were separated on September 6, 1995 (see other references) and before the beginning of the 2016 events of the movie on June 25, 2016 (see 2016 references).

The first collection of scenes is of a braid receiving a bow, a group of girls being brainwashed by cartoons, and a group of girls ice skating. In the ice skating scene, the girls appear to be roughly middle school age, and can be taken to be approximately 12.5 years old. This scene can therefore be approximated to when Romanoff was 12.5 years old, so approximately June 3, 1997. The scenes with the braid and the cartoons can therefore be distributed between Romanoff and Belova being separated and the ice skating scene, so on April 7, 1996 and November 8, 1996, respectively.

The montage also features two shots of girls marching, one of which is when they are roughly middle school age and can be taken to be approximately 13 years old, so on December 3, 1997.

The second shot of girls marching, two shots of girls preparing weapons, a group of soldiers in a drum line, and Dreykov watching a group of girls fire at targets occur in the movie when the girls are roughly high school age. Similarly, *Black Widow Prelude* features a scene of a group of high school age girls doing ballet and one of Romanoff firing at a target. These can be distributed throughout the years in which Romanoff was 14 through 18 years old, placing the comic firing scene on September 19, 1998, the second marching shot on April 1, 1999, the first shot of girls preparing weapons on November 16, 1999, the ballet scene on February 13, 2001, the drum line on September 30, 2001, and the second shot of girls preparing weapons on May 16, 2002.

Two scenes, one from *Black Widow Prelude*, and several flashback scenes from *Avengers: Age of Ultron*, both featuring Romanoff being nervous for her graduation ceremony, can be placed near the ceremony. The ceremony itself can be taken to be when Romanoff was 21, analogous to a college graduation, so May 27, 2005. Similarly, *Black Widow* has two scenes in which the girls are in their early twenties: one of a group of girls doing ballet, and one of a girl doing gymnastics. These scenes can be distributed between January 1, 2003, the year Romanoff turned 20, and May 27, 2005, approximately when she would graduate. This would place the *Black Widow* ballet scene on May 6, 2003, the gymnastics scene on September 8, 2003, the *Avengers: Age of Ultron* ballet flashback on May 15, 2004, the scene of Romanoff pretending to lose on September 17, 2004, Romanoff shooting on January 20, 2005.

The montage in *Black Widow* then features several members of the Black Widows being spotted throughout the world, starting with Romanoff, as well as shots of a Widow putting on a Widow's Bite and a belt, and a group of Widows lining up. These scenes can be placed between the graduation and the 2016 events in Morocco on June 18, 2016 (see 2016 references), while ensuring that Romanoff's scene is before January 1, 2008, when she defected from the Red Room and joined S.H.I.E.L.D. (see 2000s references). This would place Romanoff's scene on December 25, 2006, and the rest on July 24, 2008, February 21, 2010, September 21, 2011, and April 20, 2013. A scene in this montage which is attached to this last scene can then be placed to the last day, April 20, 2013. The scene with the Widow putting on her belt and accessory, as well as the Widows marching, can then be placed on November 18, 2014.

Three scenes from the montage feature Dreykov influencing two political events, as well as a shot of him watching his monitors. The two scenes of him influencing political events must be before Dreykov is thought dead in January 2008, and can therefore be distributed between then and Romanoff and Belova being separated. This places the first scene on October 14, 1999 and the second on November 22, 2003.

Two events are mentioned to have happened during this period of time in *The Avengers*: Romanoff killing people in São Paulo and another instance of her setting a hospital on fire. These can be distributed between Romanoff's graduation and her defection, and can therefore be placed on April 8, 2006 and February 18, 2007, respectively. *The Avengers Prelude: Black Widow Strikes* describes an incident involving Romanoff which is described as having occurred "long before [Romanoff] defected to S.H.I.E.L.D.." This can therefore be taken to have happened within the first half of the time between graduation and defection, so on approximately January 19, 2006.

*Black Widow Prelude* features a scene of Romanoff looking over New York City after joining S.H.I.E.L.D.. This would likely occur within a month of Romanoff joining S.H.I.E.L.D., so in approximately February 2008.

The montage goes on to feature several clips of Melina Vostokoff's experiments being conducted, beginning with someone reading the information which Alexei Shostakov had stolen, a scene of pigs being studied, and a failed surgery. Later in the movie, Belova mentions that Romanoff was not subject to Vostokoff's chemical mind control, meaning that the experiment was completed after Romanoff defected and before the events in Morocco, so on approximately April 9, 2012. The person reading the stolen information can be approximated to the day after it was received, so September 6, 1995. The remaining scenes can be distributed between then and the completion of the experiment, placing the pigs on December 22, 2003 and the failed surgery on February 14, 2008.

Finally, a group of scenes of war and a scene of a person sewing a Black Widow logo onto a piece of cloth are shown. These can be distributed throughout Romanoff and Belova being separated and the first scene and the events in Morocco, resulting in each conflict happening on July 26, 1997, June 16, 1999, May 6, 2001, March 27, 2003, February 14, 2005, January 5, 2007, November 25, 2008, October 16, 2010, and September 5, 2012, and the sewing scene on July 27, 2014.

As detailed in Marvel's official 2012 *The Art of The Avengers* timeline, *Iron Man* spans 9 months from Tony's kidnapping to "I am Iron Man", then *Iron Man 2* is 6 months later. With Tony's birthday appearing in *Iron Man 2*, which is May 29th (as shown on a file in a deleted scene from *The Avengers* and on official display at an event, and lines up with other evidence placing the film in May), *Iron Man 2* is set mostly in May, and *Iron Man* is February-November of the year before, which also lines up with its own evidence. However, the evidence for which years they are set in is contradictory.
A 2008 setting for *Iron Man* is implied by:

	* A date on a TV in *Iron Man* which says "May 4, 2008".
	* Vision's line from *Captain America: Civil War*, firmly on June 19, 2016, saying, "In the 8 years since Mr. Stark announced himself as Iron Man."
	* A statement from Kevin Feige (1, 2) implying 4 years between *Iron Man* and *The Avengers*, which is firmly set in May 2012.
However, a 2009 setting for *Iron Man* is implied by:

	* Marvel's official timeline showing that "I am Iron Man" is 67 years after March 1942 (date shown on-screen in *Captain America: The First Avenger*), when Schmidt took the Tesseract, 67 years after June 22, 1943 (date given by newspaper in *Captain America: The First Avenger* and confirmed by Marvel), when Steve went through Project Rebirth, 64 years after early February 1945 (date given by auctioned prop from *Captain America: The First Avenger* and supported by newspaper in *Captain America: The Winter Soldier* from a while after the disappearance, as well as Reinhardt's arrest date a while after Red Skull's death, shown in *The Things We Bury* - all explained in 1940s references), when Steve went into the ice, meaning the timeline overall presents late 2009 for "I am Iron Man".
	* Jon Watts saying that "the eight-year-old Peter had seen Stark say, 'I am Iron Man,' on TV," and again that Peter was 8 at that moment, with the fact that Peter was born on August 10, 2001.
	* *Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.*: Season 2, Episode 17 - *Melinda*, set firmly in April 2015 in the lead-up to *Avengers: Age of Ultron* (see 2015 references), flashing back to "7 years ago" when the Avengers Initiative was just starting up, seemingly a while before *Iron Man*.
	* *Avengers: Endgame* showing "11/2009" as a month of significance.
A pre-2010 (2008 or 2009) setting is implied by:

	* In *Avengers: Age of Ultron*, when Ultron scrolls through images, a "FEB/12/2010" photo is shown of the Mark I armour. The photo could have been taken any time after the Mark I was made, but since the Mark I was only completed in May, this means it cannot be later than May 2009.
	* In *Avengers: Age of Ultron*, when Ultron scrolls through images, an old "news archive" story about Iron Man is shown from "20.07.10", including footage of him in Gulmira. This means that the Battle of Gulmira, in November of its year, can be no later than November 2009, for a news report from July 2010 to feature footage from it.
The second half of *Iron Man 2*, the events of *Thor*, and the second half of *The Incredible Hulk* are all set in the same week, known as "Fury's Big Week", as detailed in the *The Avengers Prelude: Fury's Big Week* comic, on Marvel's timeline, and shown in the films. *Iron Man 2* also cannot span more than a few weeks, because:

	* The Expo is said to only be a year long, and there is "362 days left" on the day of Pepper's hiring and "343 days left" on the day of the Battle at Stark Expo.
	* Tony jokes that Pepper has only been CEO for "a week" after the Expo fight. Although the "days left" just mentioned shows it has been 19 days, still, it cannot be any longer.
	* The Monaco incident, which is after Pepper's hiring, is shown on Marvel's timeline to still be 6 months after "I am Iron Man", when the senate meeting *before* her hiring is also said by Hammer to be "6 months" after the end of *Iron Man* and the Expo opening before *that* is shown to be "6 months later" (confirmed by Jon Favreau in DVD commentary to refer to the time since "I am Iron Man"). So, the Monaco incident is definitely within a month of the Expo opening.
	* The inspired canon *The Avengers: Iron Man Mark VII* comic shows that the ice problem test flight in *Iron Man* is on or after "Day 1", that the fight in Monaco is between "Day 189" and "Day 199", and that the Battle at Stark Expo in Fury's Big Week is before "Day 199", meaning that the end of *Iron Man 2* is still just over 6 months maximum after.
	* The rate at which Tony's palladium poisoning is increasing means that the film cannot realistically span more than a few weeks anyway.
A 2010 setting is implied for Fury's Big Week by:

	* The *Stark Expo 2010* website saying that the Expo - the first Expo since 1974, the same one shown in the film - begins on "May 7th 2010".
	* A letter on the *Stark Expo 2010* website also saying that the Expo begins on "May 7th . 2010".
	* A computer in *Iron Man 2* saying "05.06.10".
	* The Grand Prix de Monaco Historique appearing in *Iron Man 2*, which is a biannual event which was held in May 2010.
	* Fury saying Steve slept for "almost 70 years" in *Captain America: The First Avenger*, Steve saying he slept for "70 years" in *The Avengers*, and then more specific with "65 years" in *Spider-Man: Homecoming* - overall implying he slept for about 66½-66¾ years. And, having gone into the ice in February 1945, this therefore implying he woke around late 2011, and *The Avengers Prelude: Fury's Big Week* shows that this is "one year later" after the end of Fury's Big Week.
	* Tony Stark's file, on display at an event and shown in a deleted scene from *The Avengers*, saying he was CEO of Stark Industries until 2010.
	* Natasha saying to Bruce on May 2, 2012, "You've been more than a year without an incident. I don't think you wanna break that streak," when we know he had incidents in Harlem, then a month later in British Columbia (both in *The Incredible Hulk*), and those incidents were in June and July respectively, meaning they cannot be 2011.
	* The *Iron Man 3 Prelude* showing that 10 months before *The Avengers*, in July 2011, enough time had passed since *Iron Man 2* that all of the damage at the Expo had been cleaned up, Stark Tower had been fully planned, the foundations had been laid, and the first few levels had already been constructed.
However, a 2011 setting for Fury's Big Week is implied by:

	* Fury saying on May 4, 2012 in *The Avengers*, "Last year, Earth had a visitor from another planet who had a grudge match that levelled a small town," implying the Battle of Puente Antiguo was last year.
	* The *Thor: The Dark World Prelude* comic showing Darcy, on May 4, 2012, saying to Jane that "it's been a year", implying it has been a year since Thor left.
	* Darcy saying in *Thor: The Dark World*, "He's gonna come back. Except, you know, last time he was gone for like, 2 years," seemingly referring to it being 2 years from him leaving Jane before he returned on November 11, 2013 (but potentially just meaning, "Last time he left you, it was 2 years before he returned to Earth," referring to *The Avengers*).
	* The 2011 song "Walk" by Foo Fighters playing in a bar which Thor and Selvig visit during *Thor*.
Fury's Big Week is 6 months after "I am Iron Man". This is shown from:

	* Justin Hammer saying in *Iron Man 2*, "We all know why we're here. In the last 6 months, Anthony Stark has created a sword with untold possibilities."
	* Marvel's timeline showing that both the Ambush in Rio de Janeiro (which is shown in *The Incredible Hulk* to be "17 days" before Banner arrived at Culver University on Day 3 of Fury's Big Week) and the Duel of Monaco (which is days before Fury's Big Week) were 6 months after "I am Iron Man".
	* *Iron Man 2* beginning with "I am Iron Man" and showing a montage of Vanko working, then showing "6 months later", the Stark Expo opening. Jon Favreau confirmed on the DVD commentary that the Vanko montage covers the 6 months, with "6 months later" referring to the time since "I am Iron Man".
	* Pepper joking in Monaco that Christine Everhart slept with Tony "last year" (which was 9 months before "I am Iron Man").
	* The inspired canon *The Avengers: Iron Man Mark VII* comic showing about 197 days between the test flight with the icing problem and the Battle at Stark Expo.
So, *Iron Man* is set in February-November of 2008 or 2009, Fury's Big Week is set in May-June of 2010 or 2011, and Fury's Big Week is 6 months after "I am Iron Man".
The best solution possible, to satisfy the most evidence with the most importance, is reasoned out as *Iron Man* being set from February-November 2009 and Fury's Big Week being set in May-June 2010. To see a full, detailed description, calculation, and explanation of the reasoning, see here.
21. ↑ 21.0 21.1 21.2 The *The Avengers: Iron Man Mark VII* comic shows that its "Day 189" is just before Tony leaves for the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, and "Day 199" is a little while after the Battle at Stark Expo. With the Grand Prix dated to May 23, 2010 (see other references), this would imply that "Day 189" is May 22, 2010, fitting with "Day 199" being June 1, 2010, the day after the battle. This would then put "Day 1", shown to be the day of the test flight with the icing problem, on November 15, 2009, which lines up perfectly with the fact that *Iron Man* presents the party the following day as being November 16, 2009, and then "I am Iron Man" being November 25, 2009 (see other references). The comic does contain recounts of the Battle of Gulmira and the Duel of Los Angeles on "Day 23" and "Day 30" respectively, but unlike with the test flight and the Duel of Monaco, shown actually playing out, they only appear as recounts. Because of the strong evidence putting the films in their November and May placements, this should not affect the timeline, but instead just be considered as Tony recounting those events during December, allowing the timeline to work out perfectly.
22. ↑ 22.0 22.1 22.2 22.3 22.4 22.5 22.6 22.7 *The Avengers: Iron Man Mark VII*
23. ↑ In *Iron Man 2*, Anton Vanko is shown finishing his work, then the film cuts to "six months later". While dialogue and director commentary confirm this is meant to mean 6 months since "I am Iron Man" at the start of the montage and the not that it has covered months with the montage then jumped 6 further months, *Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline* later established otherwise, with 2 years between "I am Iron Man" and *Iron Man 2*. For the "six months later" to have any relevance, therefore, it must be now taken to be in reference to the time since the end of the montage. So, Vanko finishes in November 2009 (6 months before May 7, 2010, approximated to November 10, 2009).
However, the book also refers to Vanko's work and planning as "2008-2010", meaning some work in his planning must have happened in 2010. This is dated to March 7, 2010 as the halfway point between the start of 2010 and his first 2010 action shown in *Iron Man 2*, meeting with a Ten Rings agent on May 12, 2010.
24. ↑ *Moon Knight: 1.02: Summon the Suit*
25. ↑ 25.0 25.1 In *The Writing on the Wall*, it is said on the reasoned date of March 16, 2015 that Rebecca Stevens was said to have died "5 years ago." This would place her supposed death around April 21, 2010. It can be assumed that the trials began around a month before this, approximately March 19, 2010, and that the preparations on Project T.A.H.I.T.I. would have begun around 3 months prior to that, approximately December 18, 2009.

33. ↑ In *Shadow Selves*, Bradford says he was fired a year after helping Connors cover up Billy Johnson's murder. With that dated to February 26, 2009 (see 2000s references), this could refer to a near exact year later, around February 26, 2010, or more generally "2009 + 1 = 2010" (approximated by mid-2010). Putting more weight on the more specific, a weighted calculation would place his firing around April 9, 2010.
34. ↑ *Cloak & Dagger: 2.03: Shadow Selves*
35. ↑ 35.0 35.1 35.2 35.3 In *The Incredible Hulk*, the scenes before Banner arriving at Culver University are set before Fury's Big Week begins. This scene is shown to be "17 days without incident" (since the Ambush in Rio de Janeiro). With Marvel's timeline showing that the day he arrives is Day 3, so May 31, 2010, 17 days prior would mean the Ambush in Rio de Janeiro is May 14, 2010, and him waking on "1 day without incident" on May 15th, with the other scenes between that and arriving at Culver University distributed between those dates. When Banner wakes after the ambush, before his counter resets to "1 day without incident", it is shown that he had gone "190 days without incident". This would mean his last incident before the Ambush in Rio de Janeiro on May 14, 2010 would have been on November 5, 2009, and so the date on which the film begins with Banner's metronome, shown to be "158 days without incident", is April 12, 2010.

This scene is Day 1, May 29, 2010, with May 29th being Tony's birthday, as given on a file in a deleted scene from *The Avengers*, and the same file displayed at an event, and lining up with the other evidence.

The *Stark Expo 2010* website had Stark Expo supposedly starting on May 7, 2010. This just about lines up with the May 29th date. On the day Stark promotes Pepper, it is shown clearly in the background that there is "362 days remaining" of the Expo. On the date of the Expo battle, there is clearly "343 days remaining", so there is 19 days between these dates. It can then be seen that it takes Tony 4 days to return home after the senate, 5 days after the Expo opens. This would mean there is an opening day, 365 days of normal Expo, then the closing day, plus counting inclusively (ie. on closing day it says "1 day remaining"), meaning there is "367 days remaining" on May 7th, and thus 5 days later on the 12th, "362 days remaining". This way, these two dates gel very nicely.

So, with the opening on May 7, 2010, Pepper's hiring on May 12, 2010, and Tony's birthday on May 29, 2010, somewhere between the May 12th and May 29th dates is Monaco. Monaco cannot be on May 1st/2nd like in real life, as it does not fit within these limits. But that is fine, as the *Marvel Cinematic Universe* is a different universe, so it can be different. It is still in the same ballpark as the real world. In an adaptation comic of *Iron Man 2*, in the same scene where Rhodey confronts Tony about Vanko having attacked him "yesterday", "Natalie" then comes downstairs to say Tony's guests are arriving, and they have the discussion about Tony asking what she would do if she knew it were *her* last birthday. This would put Monaco the day before his birthday. However, this scene actually contradicts the film, which depicts the Rhodey conversation and the "Natalie" conversation as separate scenes in separate rooms. It can be put down to the adaptation condensing the film (like the *Iron Man* one putting Coulson asking for a meeting on "the 24th" at Tony's returning press conference rather than the party months later), and ignore this. The *The Avengers: Iron Man Mark VII* comic implies that "Day 189" is the day before Monaco, putting Monaco on Day 190. It implies as well that "Day 199" is around 2 days after Day 3 of Fury's Big Week, putting that on Day 5. This would put Day 1 around the Mark VII Day 195, 5 days after Monaco, therefore putting Monaco around May 24, 2010. However, it would work better on the 23rd, because the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique was held on a Saturday-Sunday in the real world, so it would make sense for it to be a Saturday-Sunday in the MCU as well. May 23, 2010 was a Sunday. The second day of the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, in the real world, is supposed to be 2 weeks before the main Monaco Grand Prix (in this case, 2 weeks before May 16, 2010 - May 2, 2010). There is still some logic if the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique second day were 1 week after the main Grand Prix as a sort of after-party, rather than a build-up, which works as May 23rd. Plus, if Monaco is the 23rd, this puts "Day 189" on May 22, 2010, which then puts "Day 199" on June 1, 2010, the day after the Battle at Stark Expo, still working, and puts "Day 1" on November 15, 2009, which works perfectly with the timeline of *Iron Man* (see other references).

49. ↑ In *Thor: The Dark World*, Darcy Lewis says to Jane, "Last time [Thor] was gone for, like, 2 years." The reasoned date for him going away is June 2, 2010, so the interpretation has to be taken as, "Last time Thor left you, Jane, he was gone for, like, 2 years until he came back to Earth," referring to *The Avengers* rather than *Thor: The Dark World*, being gone until May 3, 2012.
50. ↑ In *Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline*, the closing scene of *Thor* is placed after the Duel of Harlem (June 4, 2010, see other references). Given the revelry on Asgard following, it should not be too long after their victory against the Frost Giants on June 2, 2010 (see other references), so June 4, 2010 makes the most sense for the scene.

53. ↑ 53.0 53.1 Through *Runaways* it is said that PRIDE sacrificed someone to Jonah once a year for 15 years (*Fifteen*: "One a year for 15 years", *Hostile*: "You ever notice that every year one of your young parishioners goes missing?", "Same time of year, every year", *Last Rites*: "One a year"), resulting in fifteen sacrifices (*Fifteen*: fifteen names are listed, *Kingdom*: "Fifteen kids have died in this room", *Doomsday*: "How could you murder fifteen kids?", *Last Rites*: "Like you killed fifteen runaways"). Fifteen annual sacrifices would amount in fact to 14 years start to finish, and with the last one in December 2017 (see 2017 references), that would make the first sacrifice around 2003.
However, there is evidence for 15 + years of sacrifices, not 14 years. In *Fifteen*, it is said they have taken runaways for "over 15 years". In *Doomsday* it is said that PRIDE has had a grip on the parents' "lives for the last 15 years". As well as this, Season 3 suggests there was in fact a further sacrifice (*Smoke and Mirrors*: "I only sacrificed seventeen innocent kids" (including Andre Compton, which the previous counts did not), *Rite of Thunder*: "She helped murder seventeen teenagers", *Enter The Dreamland*: "We are the seventeen"). Plus "one a year for 15 years" could be taken as "one a year, and we've been doing that for 15 years" rather than "one a year fifteen times, amounting to 15 years". So, it would seem overall that yes, the sacrifices started around 15 years before 2017, not 14. This, then, would make the first sacrifice 2002.
However, in *Doomsday*, a flashback to "fifteen years ago" before December 2017, set shortly after the first sacrifice. While this would align with 2002, Nico Minoru is shown to be a baby only about 3-4 months old. With Nico born around January 2001 (see other references), this would make it roughly April-May 2001. Amy Minoru is also shown to be about 2½. With Amy born around December 1998 (see 1990s references), this would make it roughly mid-2001. Given this, and the lack of flexibility to the children's ages, particularly baby Nico, then the latest this scene can be is June 2001. So, taking this latest possible time, the "fifteen years ago" must be taken to be a rounding from 16 years, and the first sacrifice, Brooks Watten, must also be moved from 2002 to June 2001. With the *Metamorphosis* flashback to "fifteen years ago" of the Wilders getting their house set not long before this and particularly given it is also stretched already to 16 years prior, but enough time to get Brooks Watten, it can be assumed that Watten did not undergo 6 months at the Church of Gibborim like the other Runaways, and was procured in May 2001, with the house scene set that same month.
With it said in *Hostile* that the sacrifices are the "same time of year, every year", it should be assumed that almost all the sacrifices were in early December, like the one on December 4, 2015 (see 2015 references) and the one on December 8, 2017 (see 2017 references), so likely the Friday closest to December 6th. With fourteen sacrifices prior to Destiny Gonzalez and not including Brooks Watten, the second sacrifice would therefore, however, be 14 years prior in December 2003, 2½ years after the first. Given Jonah deteriorates over a year, it should be taken that there were never two sacrifices more than 18 months apart. So, it may be taken that the second sacrifice was in fact December 2002, the third June 2004, and then the fourth December 2005, with the fourth to sixteenth (Gonzalez) all being annually in December from 2005 to 2017, and the first few negligible enough to be discounted in the statement of "same time of year, every year".
Fifteen names, up to and including Gonzalez, are shown in *Fifteen*, meaning there is a bonus sacrifice not listed on the computer somewhere between Brooks Watten and Destiny Gonzalez, making them between the second and fifteenth sacrifice, so it may be guessed that they were the eighth/ninth. To decide which, taking halfway between June 2001 and December 2017, it would have been roughly late 2009, making it closer to the eighth sacrifice than the ninth. So, it may have been taken to have been the eighth.
Therefore, overall, the sacrifices were: Brooks Watten June 2001, Adam Cooper December 6, 2002, Jamie Baxter June 8, 2004 (halfway between December 6, 2002 and December 9, 2005), Tim Bennett December 9, 2005, Xavier Marquez December 8, 2006, Karly Scolari December 7, 2007, James Braswyck December 5, 2008, unknown runaway December 4, 2009, Anthony Rocha December 3, 2010, Kim Hwang December 9, 2011, Bridget Bynum December 7, 2012, John Donahue December 6, 2013, Emily Wong December 5, 2014, Yvonne Taylor December 4, 2015, Brian Geparhart December 9, 2016, and finally Destiny Gonzalez (failed sacrifice) December 8, 2017 and Andre Compton December 11, 2017 (see 2017 references). Adam Cooper to Destiny Gonzalez would have been taken 6 months in advance.

56. ↑ In *Window of Opportunity*, on June 26, 2019 (see 2019 references), Sarge says Jaco "hasn't had his home atmosphere in 9 years". This could be taken to refer to a near exact 9 years, around June 26, 2010, or a more general "2019 - 2010 = 9", so just 2010 (approximating with mid-2010). Putting more weight on the more specific, a weighted calculation suggests Jaco last had his home atmosphere around June 28, 2010.

Putting more weight in the specific than general, a weighted calculation gives the beginning of acquisitions doing Joy's taxes as approximately September 3, 2010.
69. ↑ In *Kandahar*, Micro says on October 30, 2015 that he has been unable to properly do his job for "5 years". This would specifically suggest October 2010 (5 years before October 2015), if not generally (so approximately mid) 2010 (5 years before 2015). Putting more weight in specifically October 2010 than mid-2010, it can be calculated that he became frustrated with his job around September 20, 2010.

78. ↑ In the *Iron Man 3 Prelude* comic, it is shown as beginning a while after *Iron Man 2*, with the damage from the Expo having been cleared up and Stark Tower having been fully planned, laid its foundations, and several levels into its construction. It then jumps to 2 months later, Mumbai, then 3 months later, Afghanistan, then 2 months later, Sudan, then 3 months later, Hong Kong, and this is shown to be the date of the Battle of New York, May 4, 2012. 3 months back from there would put Sudan around February 2012, 2 months further back would put Afghanistan around December 2011, 3 months further back puts Mumbai around September 2011, and a final 2 months back places the beginning in July 2011. This allows plenty of time, just over a year, for the Expo to be cleared completely and for the planning, foundations, and beginning of construction of Stark Tower. Several months prior to the beginning of the comic, work would have begun on the tower, around December 2011.
