Earth 811(Days of Future Past)

Details of this timeline were originally conceived by Bryan Magnum. We ended up having a lot of the same ideas on this one.

## **Timeline**

**1980**
Jean Grey was possessed by the Dark Phoenix. She returned to the home of her parents and, driven by Dark Phoenix's rage, demonstrated her powers in front of them. In our universe, this had led her father to disown her and cast her out. However, in this Universe, her father understood that as a telepath Jean could feel the subconscious fear that her parents and sister felt in her presence. Realizing that this was causing her pain that she could not block out, he chose not to cast her out. As a result, Jean Grey was able to overcome the Dark Phoenix and did not die in the Shi'ar duel of honor (as she had in our universe), instead she gained ful lcontroll and defeated the Shi'ar, forcing them to retreat. She married Scott Summers later that year.

On Halloween, Professor Charles Xavier and U.S. Senator Robert Kelly (an outspoken opponent of mutant rights) were killed by the Brotherhood of Mutants in a bombing of a senate hearing. The incident created a public backlash against mutantkind.

In the wake of the incident, the Japanese government began conducting tests on Japanese citizens with mutant powers, especially those exhibiting ESP.

**1982**

On December 6, 1982 (1992 in the English version), a nuclear explosion destroys Tokyo and starts World War III. Which is a short conflict as in the main Universe. Akira was recovered and further tested, then placed in a cryonic chamber. Construction was begun on Neo-Tokyo.

**1984**
Anti-mutant candidates won both houses of Congress and the White Houses in the U.S. elections. As a result, other priorities were pushed aside and the Cold War never ended in this reality.

**1985**
The first Mutant Control Act was passed by Congress, but was later struck down by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional.

**1988**
Rachel Summers was born to Scott and Jean Summers, and inherited Jean's psychic powers.

A new Mutant Control Act was passed by Congress, and this time was upheld by the courts.

In Japan, a young boy named Akira lost control of his psionic powers while serving as a test subject in a government ESP project. The ensuing explosion annihilated Tokyo.

**1989**
The Sentinels robot police force was reactivated in order to capture those mutants who would not willingly register under the Mutant Control Act of 1988.

**1991**
The Eugenics Wars began throughout Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

**1996**
The Eugenics Wars ended. In the wake of the wars, several new governments were established including the authoritarian Republic of Greater East Asia in what is now Japan.

The Sentinels robot police force saved the planet from an alien invasion in July of this year. Public opinion of the Sentinels improved drastically.

**1997**
After 800,000 students walked out of schools across the Republic of Greater East Asia (formerly known as Japan) to protest the policies of the new authoritarian government, hardliners responded by passing the “BR Act.” Under this law, “unruly” classes of secondary students would periodically be selected to participate in a “Battle Royale.” They would be transported to a deserted island, where they would be forced to fight each other to the death on national television, with only one survivor.

**1998**
A dangerous asteroid was discovered headed towards Earth. Lex Luthor, the genius CEO of Lexcorp, helped modify the Sentinels to handle the problem and avert global disaster. The incident put Luthor in prime position for the 2000 Presidential election.

**2000**
Lex Luthor was elected U.S. President on a platform to restore America to technological leadership.

In the Republic of Greater East Asia (formerly known as Japan), the “Battle Royale” event saw its first escapees: Shuya Nanahara and Noriko Nakagawa. The two students were declared fugitive murderers.

**2001**
Lex Luthor was sworn in as President of the United States.

**The Mutant War**

**2002**
President Luthor turned the Sentinels robots on all superheroes, not just mutants, on the argument that they were all threats and that they were working together. With Luthor's innovations, the robots became near invulnerable and killed almost all of the rogue heroes, including Superman and the Fantastic Four. The rest were contained in concentration camps. Soon, the U.S. became an absolute police state under the rule of Luthor and the Sentinels.

**2003**
In the Republic of Greater East Asia (formerly known as Japan), several former winners of the Battle Royale event banded together as a rebel group known as “The Wild Seven” and conducted guerilla warfare against the government in an effort to end the Battle Royale for good.

**2004**
With his popularity at a record low and the country in disarray, President Luthor dissolved the government and refused to hold new elections, declaring himself dictator for life. He redoubled his efforts to find and destroy all superheroes and supervillains alike – anyone who might be a competitor or threat to him.

**2005**
In January, as Lex Luthor’s Presidential term officially came to an end, the Sentinels suddenly executed him and assumed complete control of North America.

**2009**
While prisoners together in the South Bronx Mutant Internment Center, Rachel Summers (age 21) fell in love with Franklin Richards. Learning about Rachel’s unique telepathic powers, Richards determined a hypothetical way to change the past, although he wasn’t certain if it would change their reality, or only prevent the present disaster in an alternate universe.

The rest of the world became more frightened of the Sentinels than of mutants, and threatened war if the Sentinels ever moved outside of North America. The Sentinels operated out of their main headquarters in the Baxter Building, New York City.

By the year 2013, people were in one of three classes and marked with a certain letter:

Baseline humans (H) have no mutant genes, and are permitted to breed;

Anomalous humans (A) are not mutants themselves, but possess mutant genetic potential, and are forbidden to breed; and

Mutants (M) who are forced to live in concentration camps and serve the Sentinels, and are shunned and hated by other humans.

**2013**

With the help of Rachel Summers (age 24), Kate Pryde projected her mind from her own body to that of her 13-year-old counterpart on our Earth in in order to prevent the murder of Senator Kelly in our universe. When she returned, Kate found that her actions had only affected the alternate universe, and not their own. In addition, only she and Rachel Summers had avoided a mutant slaughter carried out by the Sentinels in her absence.

In 2013, the Anti-Sentinel Resistance discovered that the Sentinels, driven by their prime directive, were planning to move out of North America and invade other countries. Knowing that this would automatically trigger a full-scale nuclear strike from the other great powers, and thus destroy the world in a nuclear holocaust, they made a plan to change history and prevent the Sentinels from taking power. In particular, it was Rachel Summers who worked out the plan to use her telepathic powers to send the consciousness of one member of the resistance back to Halloween 1980, to swap bodies with their younger self and prevent the assassination of Senator Kelly. Kate Pryde was chosen, since in 1980 her younger self (Kitty Pryde, aka Sprite) had only recently joined the X-Men and had not yet been trained to defend herself from psychic attack.

With Logan's help, they constructed a "jammer" to disrupt the effectiveness of their control collars, allowing Rachel to send Kate's consciousness back in time to 1980 in Earth-616 (although it was later revealed by Rachel Summers and, independently, by Nimrod that Earth-616 was not in fact the past of Earth-811 and that Kate had "moved cross-time as well as down"[6][7], and allowing the resistance members to remove the collars permanently and regain the use of their powers. Logan then helped them escape from the internment center, leaving Magneto behind to cover their escape. They were tracked down by Sentinels, and though they managed to defeat the Sentinels with their powers, Franklin Richards was slain. Leaving Rachel alone to protect Kate's body (and the consciousness of the younger Kitty Pryde), Logan, Ororo and Peter attempted to launch an attack on the Sentinels' headquarters in the Baxter Building, only to be swiftly and mercilessly killed

Back in 1980, Kate Pryde warned the X-Men of Senator Kelly's assassination and the bleak future it would cause. They traveled to Washington, where Kate successfully prevented the assassination before switching places again with the young Kitty Pryde, returning to her own reality.[4] Rachel Summers herself would end up traveling to the past, though like with Kate she too moved cross-time and ended up in Earth-616. She would later join the prime reality's X-Men. Years later she will be one of the founders of the British team of heroes, Excalibur.

Rachel Summers returned to her future with her teammates from Excalibur. They arrived in Britain two years after she had escaped to the past, and discovered that the Sentinels were seeking to take over the world. Battling the Sentinels were the Asian Alliance's Mega-Robots, Soviet Super Soldiers, and resistance groups in both South America and Europe. The Sentinels were also planning to send Nimrod units to every possible timeline to eradicate mutantkind. Excalibur joined forces with the remnants of the British Resistance Coordination Executive, and were able to put an end to the Sentinels' genocidal plans. Changing their Prime Directive to ensure that all life was protected.

**2016**
In another attempt to alter the reality of her universe, Rachel Summers (now age 28) traveled from to our own Earth. Finally realizing that her Earth was doomed, she remained on our Earth and joined the X-Men there.

**2017**
By this point, the transformation of North America into a war-torn police state had been completed. The rest of the world was in a similar shape, and the global economy collapsed.

To appease the masses, the puppet government of the United States had network television begin broadcasting a number of gladiator-style “game shows” in which convicted criminals were forced to fight for their lives on live television. (These shows had already proved very popular elsewhere in the world.)

**2019**

In Japan, Akira was awakened from his cryonic chamber and destroyed Neo-Tokyo, then disappeared.

Ben Richards, a former police pilot falsely convicted of participating in a food riot, becomes the first contestant to escape from the reality-television program *The Running Man*.
