Timeline 1

**Timeline 1**, commonly referred to as the **main timeline**, is the main timeline where the events of *Zero* and *Zero: Origins* take place. There is one person who interfered with this timeline: Dr. Murphy, interfered with the timeline when he came back in time to find and stop Present Xeno from causing chaos that would lead to a horrible future.

When Dr. Murphy went back in time, it disrupted and altered Timeline 1, making an "Altered Timeline", or "Altered Timeline 1", overwriting events portrayed in *Zero: Origins*. *Zero* takes place in this Altered Timeline. However, it is still Timeline 1, just like *Zero: Origins*.

## Events

Timeline 1, as noted above, is the main timeline where everything takes place. It is similar to Timeline 2, however a major difference present in Timeline 2 is that Zero was created as an android instead of an AI, Aero was never built, and Zero and Xeno have been archenemies for quite some time. Timeline 2 Zero's fate was never revealed. When Dr. Murphy went back in time, he had the intention to change history, altering this timeline. However, simply going back in time had disrupted the timeline.

## Major Differences

Events from the Original Timeline still happen in the Altered Timeline. 20 years after Cooper's birth, however, is where the events of the Altered Timeline begin to take place, overwriting the events of the Original Timeline. Generally everything in *Zero* is different from the Original Timeline.

* Xeno's arrival from Timeline 2 still happened. However, Xeno returns from the future at the same time as Dr. Murphy, and goes into sleep mode for five years. After waking up, Xeno starts his chaos, knowing that his past self is in sleep mode.
* Villains such as Kane, Neo, Julian, Sonic, Multiplex, Frozin, XYZ, and many others appear in the Altered Timeline, but are civilized people in the Original Timeline.
* Humankind and civilizations are more advanced than they were in the Original Timeline.
* Aero does not exist in the Altered Timeline, as the Altered Timeline overwrites events in the Original Timeline, events portrayed in *Zero: Origins*.
* Dr. Cyanide does not build his army of robots and the doomsday device, however this is because he is killed by Xeno in the Altered Timeline.
