* **Attack on Shang-Chi**:
	+ Gao Lei approaches "Shaun" on the bus, demanding that "Shaun" give him his pendant, Shaun declines, confused by the situation. Gao then reaches for the pendant, but "Shaun" pushes him off and is grabbed by two other men. "Shaun" says he does not want trouble, and Gao again asks for the pendant.

Razor Fist then slices the seat and wheel, forcing Shaun into a corner. Chen uses the opportunity to hit Razor Fist over the head with a fire extinguisher, saving her friend. Chen then takes the wheel, while "Shaun" continues to fight Razor Fist, causing all of the passengers to rush to the back. Razor Fist slices the pivoting joint on the bus before Chen then makes a sharp turn, nearly separating the two sections. Razor Fist approaches "Shaun," who jumps outside of the bus and clings to the side of it. Razor Fist then breaks a window from the inside, forcing "Shaun" to fall and grab onto the window ledge. "Shaun" grabs onto Razor Fist's arm as Chen makes another sharp turn, helping "Shaun" to gain balance as Razor Fist is thrown backward.
	+ "Shaun" ends up on top of the bus, so he runs to the front and attempts to swing in, hitting the door and scaring Chen. "Shaun" knocks on the door, so Chen opens it for him. "Shaun" tells Chen to take a hard right on his signal and returns to the fight. "Shaun" prepares to fight, and pushes Gao out of the bus.

Chen makes a hard right turn while "Shaun" kicks off of Razor Fist, separating the two halves of the bus as "Shaun" lands in the front half, leaving Razor Fist behind.
	+ Chen notices the bus approaching a truck, and shouts for everyone to hold on. Chen pulls up next to the truck and drives over a car, causing a woman to nearly fall out of the broken window, but "Shaun" grabs her and pulls her back into the bus. Chen screams as the friction from the other truck stops the bus, and Chen apologizes to the truck driver, saying that they make a good team. "Shaun" looks around, noticing that his pendant is missing.
* Razor Fist exits the destroyed back half of the bus as a car pulls up next to him to retrieve him. Razor Fist looks down at "Shaun's" pendant, which he had managed to steal during their fight.
* "Shaun" and Chen frantically return to "Shaun's" apartment as Chen asks where he is going.

Shaun says he will explain when he gets back, but Chen stops him from packing and demands answers about his past.
* "Shaun" shows Chen the postcard he believes was sent by his sister, and says that he believes the address to be where she is.

Chen continues the conversation by asking if he went through with the mission, "Shaun" lies and says no.
* "Shaun" apologizes for trauma dumping on her, but Chen extends her condolences about his mother's death. "Shaun" then tells her that his real name isn't Shaun, but rather Xu Shang-Chi.

However, Xialing continues until Shang-Chi tells her that their father is coming for them.

	+ While Shang-Chi is distracted, Chen is approached by a guard. She puts her hands up and starts singing "Hotel California" at the guard, who gets confused briefly before attacking her. Chen dodges and grabs onto a pole of scaffolding, which the soldier breaks, leaving her hanging in the air. Shang-Chi notices as the pole breaks further.
	+ Shang-Chi rushes to save her, fighting through soldiers, and catches her just as the pole breaks. However, Xu is attacked with a taser, forcing him to let go of Chen, who falls. Xialing grabs her out of the air, saving her life, and the two nod at each other.

* Chen and Xialing talk about how frightening Wenwu is, and Chen asks if he will kill them. Xialing tells her to keep quiet so that he forgets she is there.

Parker shows Beck the E.D.I.T.H. glasses, and then gives them to Beck to try on. While Beck wears them, he notices a resemblance to Tony Stark. Thinking that Beck would be better at being the next Iron Man than him, and believing Stark's note to him was in fact meant to mean he should choose the next Iron Man figure and not be it himself, Parker enables Beck to use E.D.I.T.H..

Parker realizes that Beck must have orchestrated the attacks, and tells Jones that he is in fact Spider-Man, and has messed up. They rush back to the hotel together.
* Beck rehearses the next Elemental attack with his crew, testing the drone holograms and damage as he wears a motion capture suit. He decides to increase the amount of damage, and Gutes Guterman points out the number of casualties it will cause, but Beck responds by saying it will result in increased coverage as an "Avengers level threat". An illusion of his suit glitches, and William Ginter Riva tells Beck that one of his projectors is missing, which angers Beck, worried it could become evidence.

Banner admits that it is very smart.
	+ Walters proposes her theory that Steve Rogers died a virgin. Suddenly, a spaceship drops down in front of them, causing Walters to swerve off the road. The car falls down the cliff while the two of them scream in fear.
	+ Walters gets out of the car, slicing her wrist on a window. She then makes her way over to the other side of the car and rips the door open to get Banner. She unbuckles his seatbelt and pulls him out. However, Banner realizes his inhibitor has broken and he is bleeding. He tells Walters to get away, but it is too late. Banner's blood drips into her open wound, causing her to transform into a Hulk. She runs into the woods as Banner also turns back into Hulk.
* Walters wakes up in the woods, in a confused daze. She slowly makes her way to the road, where she sees a bar. Walters walks in through the back and goes to the restroom, where she attempts to wash up. Four women walk in and rush to Walters' side, thinking a romantic partner was responsible for her state.

* Banner asks if Walters is okay, when Walters realizes that they hit a spaceship. Banner says that he recognizes the model from Sakaar and that they were trying to send him a message. Walters realizes that she changed into a Hulk, and Banner says that she got a lethal dose of gamma radiation, making Walters think she is going to die. However, Banner says that he was about to explain more, prompting scolding from Walters.
* Banner tells Walters that they share a rare combination of genetic factors that allow them to synthesize gamma radiation. He says that her blood allowed him to completely heal his arm, which Walters says makes her better than him.

Walters struggles to get out that she is hungry.

* Walters stands in a box and expresses confusion, since she thought they wanted to prevent her from becoming a Hulk. Banner says that they need to know the threshold of emotional distress she can take before transforming, so Walters suggests putting on a Pixar movie. Banner says that the triggers are anger and fear, which Walters comments is how women constantly feel. Banner activates spinning blades on a wall moving towards her, scaring her and allowing her to transform and break the blades, pushing the wall back.
* Banner cheers his cousin on, but Walters breaks through the box and throws the wall to the side. Banner attempts to calm Walters down, assuming she has a less intelligent alter like he first did.

Walters explains that the first time it was so intense she did not remember what happened, but says that it has settled in.
* Banner forgoes part of his plan, and Walters suggests that she is done. However, Banner says that she cannot control when she transforms. She asks how Banner used to return to his human form, saying that he would usually end up unconscious and wake up as Banner. He says that Natasha Romanoff would use a lullaby, confusing Walters. Walters realizes that being unconscious is the common thread, but Banner explains that he was once stuck as Hulk for two years.
* Walters panics, and Banner says that she has more to learn since she can cause damage.

He calls his device Uni-Mind, which gets a wave of displeasure over the name.
* Makkari asks what they should do after putting Tiamut to sleep, so Sersi says that they will find humans a new home on another planet.

Ikaris says that it will end soon, but Sersi says that it would never end. Ikaris says that he is in love with her and thanks her for their life together. She takes his hand.
* Sprite sits by herself on a rock when Makkari speeds to her, scaring her. Sprite casts an illusion onto the ground in front of her, showing where Babylon used to be, saying that it was the closest the Eternals had to a home. Makkari remarks that nostalgia is unlike Sprite, who rebuts by mentioning Makkari's hoard.

Makkari says that there are also beautiful things they have done, like stopping Thanos.

She rushes into the main room and sees that the rest of the Eternals know.

Druig figures out that he killed Ajak, and Ikaris defends himself by saying that Ajak put a burden on him with the knowledge of the Emergence.
* Ikaris asks how many humans would be willing to die to allow billions more lives would be born. Phastos says that humanity is not being given a choice and yells at Ikaris. Ikaris says that they exist for Arishem, but Phastos insists that he exists for his family.
* Makkari returns, only to find Ikaris trying to shoot her. Kingo saves Makkari and tells her to run, which she does. Kingo charges up a finger blast and points it at Ikaris.

Ikaris says that he will kill the Eternals if he has to and prepares to leave, but Sprite decides to go with him. They exit through an illusion.
* Kingo says Sprite went with Ikaris because she loves him. He then tells Karun Patel that they are leaving, since he agrees with Ikaris, but refuses to fight his family.

Patel thanks the Eternals before following after Kingo.
* Druig admits that he is not sure he could put Tiamut to sleep, and says Sersi turned a Deviant into a tree. Phastos says that she should try to repeat it, but Sersi says that she does not want to kill Tiamut the Communicator, refusing to try. Druig understands and says that he can handle it.
* Phastos gets a call from Jack Stoss, who shows his father a drawing of the Solar System he had made. Stoss shows Phastos his project and asks why planets are round. Phastos replies, saying that the gravity pulls down and makes it spherical. This gives him an idea.
* Sersi sits in another room, where Thena approaches her. Sersi says that she is unsure of why Ajak chose her, and Thena tells her that protecting the people you love is natural. She says that since Sersi has consistently loved them, there is no one better to lead them. She extends her hand to Sersi and helps her stand up. Phastos runs in and says he could link their powers through the Celestial Communication Sphere. He then extracts the sphere from Sersi.

He goes to kill Makkari, but she is saved by Phastos, who knocks Kro into a cave. Thena follows after Kro.
	+ Ikaris asks where Sersi is, and Phastos simply responds that Ikaris always underestimated her. He goes to get Sersi, but Phastos traps him in cables, keeping him on the ground. Phastos says that it is satisfying, while Ikaris demands that he let him go and Phastos refuses. Ikaris attempts to use his optic laser, but the cables inhibit it.
	+ Thena enters the cave and looks around for Kro, who taunts her about her Mahd Wy'ry. Kro and Thena begin fighting.

* Parker decides to leave and apologizes for wasting Strange's time, telling Strange to forget his request.

Parker asks what he meant, and Strange explains that the entire world will forget his identity, including himself. Parker asks if others can know, and Strange says that the spell is difficult to change while casting it.

Strange hesitantly changes the spell, making it so that Jones will remember.
* Parker thanks Strange for the change, when he suddenly remembers Leeds, asking for another exception to be made. Strange makes the change and asks Parker not to ask for anymore. Parker at first agrees, but asks for May Parker to be included in the spell. Strange makes the change and gets increasingly annoyed.

Brock, having resumed control of his body, shrugs.
* The native Parker asks if the spelled worked, and Strange says that it did not, since it was changed so many times. Strange says that something dangerous could have happened as a result, and Parker tries to apologize using Strange's first name, but Strange yells at Parker to call him "sir." Parker apologizes, and Strange says that he forgot that Parker is simply a kid. Strange says that Parker's problem is the fact that he is trying to live two lives. Strange says that he is sorry about Parker's friends not getting into MIT, but that if he asked the school to reconsider, there is nothing they can do. Parker says that he did not realize he could appeal his case, so Strange scolds him. Parker tries to defend himself, but Strange kicks him out of the Sanctum.
* Parker calls Flash Thompson, who is at the MIT mixer for new admissions. Parker asks where the mixer is, and Thompson asks what he will get in return for the information.

Octavius sends Parker crashing through the bridge before bringing him back beneath it and compromising the nanotechnology in his suit. The nanites attach themselves to Octavius' tentacles as Octavius expresses that he is impressed. Octavius prepares to stab Parker, who's face is revealed when his armor's nanites move to protect his chest.
	+ Octavius pulls Parker closer to him and says that he is in fact not Peter Parker, confusing Parker.

	+ Parker rushes to the vice chancellor's aid, saying that she can still make her flight. She tells him that he is a hero and says that she is going to talk to admissions about him and his friends.

Green Goblin approaches Parker through the smoke while Octavius recognizes him. Suddenly, they are taken to the New York Sanctum through a portal.
* Parker looks around in confusion and gets startled by Lizard hitting against his confinement. He sees Octavius in his own cell, and is frightened by Strange touching his shoulder, telling Parker to be careful what he wishes for. Strange tells Parker that the spell started pulling everyone across the multiverse who knows that Parker is Spider-Man into their reality. Octavius asks who they are as Strange says that it is better not to engage with them since they know very little about the multiverse. Parker says that he thought that Strange stopped the spell, but Strange says that he simply contained it, telling him that he found the Lizard in the sewers.
* Octavius gets confused by talks of magic, comparing it to magic performed at birthday parties and demanding to know what is happening. As proof of his claims, Strange asks if Octavius knows a Peter Parker who is Spider-Man. Octavius says that he does, but that the Parker in front of them is not him. Parker says that he saw another multiversal visitor, so Strange tells him to capture them and bring them to the Sanctum, starting with the Goblin, so that he can bring them back before they destroy reality or before Wong finds out.
* Parker says that he does not want to mess up his chance to get into college, but Strange gets annoyed and takes the remaining nanites from the Iron Spider Armor, modifying it so that the webbing sends what it hits into one of the cells. Parker asks what he did, so Strange demonstrates on him. Octavius asks how Strange did it, so Strange sarcastically says he worked at lots of birthday parties before letting Parker out. Strange returns the web shooter and tells Parker to get to work. Parker promises to fix the mess, saying that he will need help.
* Strange brings Michelle Jones and Ned Leeds into the Sanctum, which impresses Leeds. Leeds asks Strange how he knew that he was magic, since Leeds sometimes gets a tingling sensation in his hands, but Strange tells Leeds to talk to a physician. Jones and Parker hug, as Parker apologizes for getting them involved, but Jones says that it is fine. Leeds asks how the travelers arrived, and Strange reveals that Parker messed up a spell in his attempt to get them into college, confusing them. Parker says that they should focus on the good news, but Strange asks them to get on their phones and start tracking the visitors down. Jones says that it is his fault they arrived, telling Strange to say please. Strange says please without rewording the rest of his demand and tells them to work in the undercroft, impressing Leeds.
* The trio enters the undercroft, and Leeds is fascinated by the things in it. Parker tries to explain what happened, but Jones says that it is okay, asking him to run decisions by them next time and work with them. Leeds says that it is not a big deal as he notices what he believes to be a torture rack, but Jones realizes that it is simply a Pilates machine. Jones goes over their plan to track down the multiversal travelers, as Octavius demands to know who Parker's friends are. Parker introduces them, and Octavius tells them his own name, making Parker, Jones, and Leeds laugh. Parker asks for Octavius' actual name while Leeds notices the Lizard, who he believes to be a dinosaur.

* While Parker attempts to get the green paint off his Spider-Man Suit, he talks to his aunt, May Parker on the phone. May tells Peter to bring the suit to the shelter she works at if the paint will not come off, but Peter says that they cannot since they have to find the travelers. May tells him to go after, since they are having a canned food drive. Peter looks at the inside of the suit, saying that it could work temporarily. Leeds says that he found a multiversal traveler, so Peter hangs up with May.
* Jones and Peter Parker go to Leeds, who shows them reports of a disturbance at a military research facility where witnesses saw a monster flying through the air. Parker suspects that it is Green Goblin, but Octavius says that it is impossible. Curious, Parker asks if he knew Green Goblin, asking what happened to him, but Octavius scolds Parker. Parker starts to walk away, but Octavius calmly explains that Green Goblin died years prior.
* At sunset, Parker wears his Spider-Man suit inside-out and swings towards the facility, looking to find and capture the visitor there. *The Daily Bugle* photographs this.

#### 13th

* Ned Leeds looks in the refrigerator in the New York Sanctum, but is grossed out by what he sees inside. He returns to his computer where Michelle Jones watches Peter Parker swing through the area via a cell phone attached to Parker's Spider-Man Suit, looking for a multiversal traveler. Parker eventually gets to the military research facility where the traveler was seen. Flint Marko passes Parker, who notices the movement. He asks if his friends saw it, but they say that it is too dark.
* **Capture of Electro**:
	+ Parker wanders through the trees and senses something forming behind him. He turns around and sees Electro forming himself. Leeds asks if it is Green Goblin, but Parker says that it is not. Parker attempts to ask if he is from another universe, but he does not answer. Jones mistrusts the situation and tells Parker to shoot him, so Parker does. However, the web travels through Electro and hits a tree, sending it into a cell in the New York Sanctum and frightening Leeds and Jones.

Parker tells Marko to surround Electro while Parker cuts off his access to electricity.
	+ Walter Burke watches as Marko surrounds Electro in a sandstorm. Electro fires several jolts of electricity toward Parker, who dodges them while Marko says that he cannot continue for much longer. Parker grabs the power lines with his webbing and pulls, disconnecting them from the towers as Parker launches back.
* Marko and Electro land on the ground while Parker takes his mask off. Marko says that it is weird that he is looking at a different Parker, who thanks Marko and high fives him, causing Marko's sand hand to fall off. Parker apologizes as Electro stands up, realizing that he has his body back. Parker informs Electro and Marko that they are in a different universe. Electro realizes that it must be the reason he felt the power was different. Electro says that he likes the power, making Marko nervous.
* Parker says that it is his fault Marko and Electro are in a new universe, and Electro asks if they are going to simply pretend that he is not naked. Although Marko says that it is his intention, Parker sees clothes from an electrical lineman's uniform and has him put them on.
* Parker sends Electro into a cell in the Sanctum, causing Leeds and Jones to turn around. Electro looks at the other prisoners, and Otto Octavius waves at him.
* Marko asks Parker what he did to Electro, and Parker starts to say that it is alright. Marko says that he does not trust Parker and starts to attack him, but Parker shoots him with his web and sends him into the Sanctum. Marko hits the wall and asks what is happening, so Electro says that he picked the wrong side. The Lizard laughs, causing Electro to recognize him.
* Octavius asks if Electro knows Lizard, so Electro explains that he was a man, causing Leeds to realize that Electro and the Lizard are from the same universe. Electro explains that Connors was a scientist from Oscorp who turned himself into a lizard and attempted to turn New York City into lizards. Lizard defends his plan, referring to Electro as Max Dillon and say that his plan was the next step in evolution, causing Leeds and Jones to realize that he can talk. Connors notes that Dillon has changed, and offers to turn him into a lizard.
* Marko tells the two to stop talking and demands to know where they are, so Jones says that they are in a wizard's dungeon. Dillon says that he wants more of the new energy he felt, causing the lights to flicker. Parker calls Jones, and she assures him Dillon and Marko have arrived at the undercroft. Parker then tells her hes going to fix the power lines so the press doesn't blame the damage on him again and thanks her for the help. Leeds tells Jones to ask about if the tree is a monster or a scientist who turned into a tree. However, Dillon tells Leeds that it is simply a tree.
* Burke watches as Spider-Man spends the whole night repairing, finding it to be amazing.
* Norman Osborn attempts to hide his Goblin Glider while keeping the mask on his Green Goblin Armor hanging from a dumpster.

* *The Daily Bugle* creates a "Spider-Menace Tip Line." They post a video to their website, ensuring viewers that if they witness Spider-Man damaging property, harassing innocent villains, or looking at them strangely, then they should follow *The Daily Bugle*'s social media and visit the tip line to help them stop him. The article is posted along with a video echoing the information, along with a message from J. Jonah Jameson telling viewers to like and subscribe.

* Osborn finds Oscorp doesn't exist as well as his son, and his home address is being occupied by someone else. He finds an advertisement for F.E.A.S.T., featuring Spider-Man, so Osborn seeks refuge there and he meets May Parker.
* Peter Parker finishes fixing the power lines and admires his work. He receives a phone call from May, who tells him that one of the people he is looking for is at F.E.A.S.T.'s community center with her.
* Peter rushes into the community center, asking where May is. He rushes into the kitchen, where he sees May and Osborn sitting together. May introduces Peter to Osborn, confusing Peter.

Osborn explains that he is not always himself and rambles while May tries to ask him who takes control.
* May approaches Peter and tells him that Osborn is lost in his mind, asking if all the multiversal travelers are like him. Parker says that they all have problems and May suggests that they need help. Peter says that it is not his problem, and that their best chance at getting help is in their native universes. May suggests that Peter is only thinking out himself and reminds him that they help people. Peter insists that sending them home is what is best for them.
* *The Daily Bugle* behind-the-scenes crew set up a live interview with Jameson and the eyewitness of Spider-Man's "power grid attack", Walter Burke. Burke reveals that he witnessed Spider-Man destroy power lines, but that he did to help the "dirt guy" defeat the "power monster".

* In the undercroft, Peter Parker introduces Osborn to Jones and Leeds. Hearing Jones referred to as "MJ," Osborn believes her to be Mary Jane Watson, but Jones corrects him. While Leeds wonders if there are other versions of him, Osborn wanders to the multiversal visitors' cells, reuniting with Octavius. Octavius gets confused, telling Osborn that he had died, but Osborn denies it. Dillon says that he loves the new universe, while Parker asks what Octavius meant, given that Osborn is there.
* Marko reveals that both Osborn and Octavius died fighting Spider-Man. Octavius realizes that he was transported from his universe when he had Spider-Man by the throat, who was attempting to stop his fusion reactor. Dillon also realizes he was about to die when he was power-overloaded by Spider-Man. Concerned, Lizard asks Dillon if he also died.
* Doctor Strange arrives with the Macchina di Kadavus and transports Osborn to a cell, despite Parker's objections. Strange explains that once he finishes the proper ritual, the Macchina will reverse the original, corrupted Runes of Kof-Kol spell and send the multiversal travelers back to their respective universes. Parker disagrees as when the reversal happens, the villains will die. Strange says that in the grand calculus of the multiverse, their sacrifice means infinitely more than their lives, and apologizes as he prepares the ritual. Parker, Jones, Leeds, and the multiversal travelers get nervous.
* **Battle for the Macchina di Kadavus**:
	+ As Strange prepares to press the button to send them back, Parker steals the Macchina and transports Strange to Marko's cell. Jones and Leeds guard the fleeing Parker and Strange leaves the cell and goes after him.
	+ Parker leaves the building and attempts to swing away, but Strange opens a portal which brings Parker back to the Sanctum. Strange asks for the box as Parker attempts to use his webs to send Strange back to the undercroft, but Strange takes away the magic from the web shooter. Parker attempts to flee, but Strange uses a portal to cause Parker's web to catch Parker's foot, trapping him. Strange summons an Eldritch Whip and brings Parker toward him, sending Parker into the Astral Plane.
	+ Parker believes himself to be dead, but Strange says that he is merely separated from his physical body. Parker's Spider-Sense allows him to evade Strange's attempts to take the Macchina from him, confusing Strange. Parker glides back to his body and tells Strange never to do it to him again. Parker swings away, but Strange sends the Cloak of Levitation, which attaches itself to Parker, keeping him in the air while Parker tells it to get off of him. Strange catches up to Parker while the cape throws him to the side, so Strange traps Parker in the Mirror Dimension.
	+ Parker falls through the Mirror Dimension's version of New York City and swings through Strange's attempts to manipulate the dimension to stop him. Strange summons a train to hit Parker, causing him to temporarily drop the Macchina. However, Parker gets it before Strange can. Strange explains that he is in control of the mirror dimension and sends them to the Grand Canyon, telling Spider-Man that in the multiverse, there are an infinite number of people who know Peter Parker is Spider-Man. He says that if the Kof-Kol spell gets loose, they will all arrive in this universe. Parker counters that they cannot simply send them to die, but Strange says that it is their fate, which they cannot change.
	+ Parker suggests that they might be able to change their fate, but Strange splits the train into various pieces, causing Parker to fall. Strange opens a portal above and beneath Parker, causing Parker to repeatedly fall through the portal. The Cloak takes the Macchina from Parker, who captures it in a web through the portals and struggles with it for the box. Strange uses an Eldritch Whip to try to pull the Cloak away from the struggle, which Parker struggles against, still holding the webs to which the Cloak is attached. The struggle causes the portals to collapse into each other, shattering the Mirror Dimension further.
	+ Strange, the Cloak, and Spider-Man chase the falling Macchina. Parker, recognizing the dimension as moving in the pattern of an Archimedean spiral, realizes that the Mirror Dimension follows the principles of geometry. While Strange gets the Macchina, Parker fires his webs at various places while doing calculations in his head. Strange tells Parker that his attempt to save the multiversal travelers is over and that he will retrieve Parker when he finishes. Strange summons a portal to the Sanctum. However, Parker's webs form in a spiral and trap Strange while Parker proudly exclaims that math is cooler than magic. Parker takes the Macchina and Strange's Sling Ring. He apologizes to Strange, saying that he has to try to help them as he returns to the Sanctum and the portal closes.
* Parker tells Jones and Leeds that he won the fight and gives Leeds the Sling Ring. He tells them that he does not know how long Strange will be trapped, and Octavius asks why Parker did not leave them to die. Jones simply says that that is not who he is, and Parker tells the travelers that he can help fix them. Dillon asks what Parker means by "fix," and Osborn offers help to Parker, revealing that he is a scientist himself. Octavius refuses Parker's help, but Parker says that they will be able to have a chance in their home universe. Lizard tells Parker that there are consequences when trying to fix people, but is told that he can simply not come and deal with Strange. Lizard, Marko, and Dillon begrudgingly agree to leave.
* Parker tells Dillon that he has everything under control and pulls Jones and Leeds to the side. Parker asks Jones to keep the box safe, so that he can text her to press the button if something goes wrong. Although she wants to stay with Parker, Jones reluctantly agrees to Parker's plans. Jones makes it clear that she will press the button, and Dillon says that they believe her. Lizard expresses disbelief that Jones and Parker are dating. Parker and Leeds do their handshake, causing the Sling Ring to emit a small amount of magic. Jones and Leeds leave, and Parker asks the travelers who is going with them. Dillon says that he will come, threatening to kill Parker if it goes wrong.
* Parker, May Parker, Dillon, Octavius, Osborn, and Marko take the elevator to condominium.
* Happy Hogan and Matt Murdock meet with the United States Department of Damage Control, sitting across from P. Cleary. Murdock says that Hogan is a law abiding citizen with nothing to hide, and Hogan agrees. Hogan receives a notification on his cell phone, and looks at it.
* May and Peter bring the travelers into Hogan's apartment, where they are seen by the security cameras which Hogan watches. Peter asks where Lizard is, and May explains that he wanted to stay in the truck.
* Hogan gets nervous, so Murdock tells him to stop sweating. Hogan asks Murdock how does he do that.
* Peter says that he feels bad for using Hogan's apartment, but May says that he will get over it. Dillon turns the television on while Marko sits on the couch, causing sand to spread. Marko apologizes and tries to brush it off, leaving even more sand. Octavius says that he has no lab and will get them killed. Peter says that Octavius is first, causing Octavius to shout that he does not need to be fixed.
* Dillon senses an unusual energy as Peter unveils the Stark Industries Fabricator, explaining that it can build anything. As the fabricator activates, Dillon admires the Arc Reactor inside it. The fabricator fully opens, breaking the wall behind it and scaring Octavius.
* Two pedestrians walk by a F.E.A.S.T. truck as the Lizard moves it, confusing them as they walk away.
* Peter and Osborn realize that the Neural Inhibitor Chip on Octavius' neck, which was meant to allow Octavius to control his tentacles is instead causing the tentacles to control Octavius.
* May pours a glass of water and offers it to Octavius. He says that he is thirsty, so May jokingly asks if he wants freshwater or salt water. Octavius gets confused, so May simply decides to give him freshwater.
* Dillon looks out the window and notes that he is impressed with the universe they are in. Marko believes Dillon to be talking about the condominium, but Dillon corrects him. Dillon says that he likes who he is in the universe, and that with the Arc Reactor he could be more. Dillon asks why Marko came, so Marko replies that he has a daughter who he wants to see, realizing that Peter will not send anyone home until he is finished, despite his lack of trust for anyone. Marko asks how Dillon got his abilities, so Dillon explains that he fell into a vat of electric eels in a science experiment. Marko says that he fell into a supercollider to get his abilities, so Dillon comments that one needs to be careful where they fall.
* Peter and Osborn work on a device that can fix Octavius' Neural Inhibitor Chip, and Osborn says that he is impressed with Peter and offers him a job at Oscorp. Peter finishes the device, excited that it had worked. Peter rushes out and tells May to move Octavius to the edge of the interior balcony while Peter stands on it. Octavius struggles against Peter, who restrains him and puts the chip on him, temporarily rendering him unconscious. Everyone watches, uncomfortably, as Peter calls for Octavius, who suddenly returns and is relieved at how quiet his mind now is. He lowers himself and greets Osborn as himself, placing the Iron Spider Armor's nanites onto Parker's Spider-Man Suit. He thanks Peter and offers to help.
* As Hogan drives back home, he calls Peter and leaves a voicemail, asking who was brought into the condominium, asking him to call back.
* The Fabricator works on an Anti-Goblin Serum. Octavius asks how Osborn feels about getting rid of his darker half, and Osborn is relieved.
* Peter puts a device on Dillon's chest, telling him that it will draw power. He tells Dillon that when the lights are all green, the excess electricity in his body will have dissipated. He rambles about the electricity that naturally occurs in the human body before realizing that he is explaining electricity to Electro. Dillon asks if the LEGOs belong to him. The Fabricator dings, and Peter goes to check on it.
* Dillon shifts uncomfortably as the first light turns on, saying that something feels off. He tells Marko that he does not like the device, but Marko tells him to leave it alone, since it will allow them to get home quicker.
* J. Jonah Jameson arrives at the condominium and approaches his employee, who tells him that Peter is inside. Jameson chastises the employee for losing him and therefore preventing *The Daily Bugle* from getting incriminating footage of Peter. The Lizard hears them from inside the truck and realizes that a conflict is brewing.
* Peter works on another cure, when his Spider-Sense alerts him to imminent danger. He gets up, trying to identify the danger, leading to Octavius asking what is wrong. Peter calls for May, who asks what he needs. Peter looks around at the multiversal travelers, struggling to identify the source of the danger. He focuses, allowing his Spider-Sense to take over, causing him to shoot a web at Osborn, attaching him to Dum-E, impressing Green Goblin, who says that Osborn is no longer around.
* Green Goblin says that he would not allow Peter to simply take away his power, refusing to be cured as May puts the incomplete cures into a bag. Green oblin claims that Parker is trapped within May's moral mission, insisting that the travelers do not need to be fixed. While Dillon's device continues dissipating his electricity, Octavius and Parker try to tell Osborn that he does not know what he is talking about. Green Goblin says that Parker, having godlike abilities, should not have to choose between the things he wants. Dillon listens to Green Goblin as he says that they should be able to take everything they want.
* **Escape from Spider-Man**:
	+ Peter tells May to run, and she leaves the apartment as Dillon removes his device and Green Goblin frees his hand. Dillon fires electricity at the Fabricator, taking the arc reactor for himself. Green Goblin hits Peter, sending him flying into the bottom of the balcony, while Marko leaves.

	+ A *Daily Bugle* helicopter films the building.
	+ Green Goblin throws Parker through a wall into the hallway and mocks him for his refusal to take what he wants while fighting him. Peter jumps onto Green Goblin's shoulders and punches him in the face repeatedly, but Green Goblin remains unfazed, laughing manically, before slamming him through the floor into the hallway below. Peter goes out through the window and climbs the wall as the helicopter films. He takes a break to catch his breath and looks down.
	+ Jameson watches and is satisfied at having caught Peter on camera in the battle.
	+ The Lizard suddenly grabs Peter and brings him down several levels, reminding Peter of his warning about consequences. Lizard throws Peter into the building, on the floor Green Goblin is on.

	+ The cure does not work and Green Goblin realizes that Peter's morality comes from May. Peter tries to stand up, but Green Goblin steps on him. Green oblin then picks Peter up by his head, saying that he is going to fix Peter, while May prepares to fight Green Goblin. Green Goblin activates the Goblin Glider as Peter begs May to run, but Green Goblin sends the Glider crashing into the building, hitting May.
	+ Green Goblin jumps onto the glider as Peter struggles to right himself. Green Goblin tells Peter that good deeds get punished as Peter finally stands, and tells Peter to thank him later as he initiates a Pumpkin Bomb. He throws the bomb and leaves as Peter jumps towards it, deflecting it in time but getting caught in the explosion. Green Goblin causes several explosions outside as he leaves.
* May and Peter get up and recover, finding each other and hugging. May says that she is okay and stumbles. Peter laments that this is all his fault, but May insists that he did the right thing.

Leeds tries a third time, successfully opening it and impressing his grandmother.

* Jones, looking for proof that Parker is who he says he is, throws a piece of bread at Parker, testing for Spider-Sense. Parker says that he indeed has it, but that it does not warn him about bread. Jones picks up another piece of bread, but Parker tells her to stop, saying that he respects her distrust. He jumps and attaches his hand to the ceiling as proof, but Jones asks him to crawl around. Parker refuses, and they disagree on whether sticking to the ceiling is proof. Leeds' grandmother asks Parker to clean a cobweb on the ceiling, so Parker crawls to it and swipes it away. Leeds' grandmother thanks Parker as he returns to the floor, and Jones says that she believes Parker for now.
* Leeds and Jones turn to each other and realizes that Leeds opened a portal to the wrong version of Parker. Jones tells Leeds to continue opening portals until they find their Parker, calling him the "real" Parker, upsetting the alternate version in the room. Leeds opens a new portal, revealing an older alternate version of Parker, who steps through and greets them. Jones realizes that he is another version of Parker, the two Parkers lock eyes before their Spider-Sense causes them to shoot webs at each other and dodge them, the older variant uses his webs to cover the younger ounterpartc's Web-Shooter. Leeds' grandmother asks the Parkers to clean up after their webs, and they agree before his grandmother goes to bed.
* While the younger variant cleans, the other variant says that he has been trying to find the native Parker, sensing that he needs help. Jones says that he does, and that they do not know where he is. The older variant asks if there is somewhere the native Parker would go to get away from it all. The older Spider-Man says that for him it is the Chrysler Building, and the younger variant says that he uses the Empire State Building, believing the view to be better. Jones realizes that she knows where he would go.
* The native Parker sits on the rooftop of Midtown School of Science and Technology, crying. Jones and Leeds approach him and hug him in silence. Jones extends condolences and tells Parker that people are with them. Parker gets up quickly and watches as the two alternate versions of him meet them on the rooftop. Parker demands they wait before realizing who they are. The alternate Spider-Men attempt to give their condolences, but the native Parker tells them not to say that they know what he is going through, having lost his aunt. Parker says that her death is his fault and that he plans to send all the multiversal travelers to their native universes.
* The older variant tries to stop him, but the native Parker tells him not to, saying that since the other travelers are from their universes, what happens to them is on the Spider-Men, not him. He apologizes for dragging them into the conflict, but that they have to go home. The native Parker tries to reach for the Macchina, but Jones refuses to listen, motioning for him to listen to his variants.
* The older variant talks about the death of his Uncle Ben, which he says was his fault. The younger variant says that he lost Gwen Stacy, his version of Jones. With tears in his eyes he says that he will never forgive himself for Stacy's death, but that he tries to carry on as Spider-Man, eventually giving into his anger and becoming violent, warning the native Parker not to go down the same path.

* Peter-Two explains that when he releases the web from his wrist, it's like a clean release. Peter-Three suggests that it simply happens when he thinks it, and Peter-Two replies that it is a good way to describe it. Peter-One asks if it comes out of anywhere else, but Peter-Two says it only comes out of the wrists. Peter-Three asks if Peter-Two has ever not had webs, saying that he has run out all the time.

	+ Wong instructs the sorcerers to enter defensive positions, so all the sorcerers activate Tao Mandalas as shields.
	+ Maximoff tells Strange that she has been reasonable until now, but Strange says that she has not been.

Maximoff fires at Strange, only for the sorcerers to cast a defensive spell around Kamar-Taj, preventing her or her magic from getting in as Strange returns to the ground.
	+ Wong yells for the sorcerers to reinforce the shield, which they do, protecting them from Maximoff's blasts. Maximoff sees this, and begins using her telepathy, attempting to get into their heads.

This causes his magic to waiver as he runs, knocking over other sorcerers and weakening the shield.
	+ Maximoff blasts through the newly created hole, knocking away several sorcerers and destroying the shield. Maximoff flies towards Kamar-Taj, as other sorcerers use Sling Rings to summon canons to fire at her.

As Maximoff approaches him, she is sent into the Mirror Dimension, where she looks at her reflection before being surrounded by mirrors. Her attempts to escape are thwarted when her blasts bounce around the walls. After the blast dissipates, Maximoff stops and thinks of a way out, she slowly reaches her hand into the glass.
	+ Strange and Wong reunite with Chavez, informing her that Kamar-Taj has fallen. The doors slam around them, and the three watch Maximoff pull Hamir and another sorcerers into the ground through puddles.

Maximoff comments that all those wizards died just to protect Chavez.

* Maximoff throws Wong onto Kamar-Taj's courtyard, demanding information on the Darkhold's spells. Wong replies that she would have to kill him, so Maximoff picks up Rintrah and other nearby students, torturing them. Wong begs Maximoff to stop, but she ignores him. Wong reveals to Maximoff that the Darkhold was a copy, so Maximoff sets the students down as Wong explains that the original text is at Mount Wundagore, although no one has survived attempts to reach it. Maximoff takes the Sling Ring off a nearby corpse, instructing Wong to take her there.
* Wong opens an Inter-Dimensional Portal to Mount Wundagore, which he and Maximoff step through.

She tells Wong to look around, saying that despite the prophecy that she will rule the multiverse, she only wants her children.

	+ Bishop asks the LARPers where her gear is, and Missy rushes out with it. Bishop asks if they found her mother, and Grills tells her that they have not. Bishop asks them to clear out the civilians, including Duquesne.
	+ The LARPers attempt to guide people to safety, but find that they are being ignored. Grills says that being trained professionals is not enough, and that it is time to try something else. The three rush off.

	+ Grills carries Armand Duquesne VII to safety, despite Duquesne's insistence that he be put down. Grills says that he is trying to save Duquesne's life, and Duquesne asks if Grills knows who he is.
	+ Bishop tells Barton to hold on tight, worrying Barton. Barton pleads with Bishop not to do anything, but Bishop shoots the cables supporting the tree and fires an acid arrow onto the trunk, making the tree crash into the ice rink.
	+ The Tracksuits start surrounding the ice rink and aim their weapons at Barton, who is joined by Bishop, who shoots pipes to create a fog. Barton and Bishop try to rush to a less exposed place. Barton fires an electromagnetic arrow at a pole, making all the poles rip the guns out of the Tracksuits' hands.
	+ Barton and Bishop take cover behind a tree ornament, and Barton takes off his jacket, revealing his Hawkeye Suit, exciting Bishop. Barton tells them that they need to get off the ice and past the Tracksuits. Barton gives Bishop several trick arrows, and the two begin fighting the Tracksuits.

	+ A Trust a Bro Moving Company van drives toward the ice rink and at Bishop and Barton. Bishop grabs a Pym Particle arrow and shoots the truck, shrinking it. As the Tracksuits in the truck panic, Bishop asks what will happen to them, and Barton says that he will have to ask Scott Lang. However, Rocky comes and takes the truck away. Barton and Bishop watch Rocky as Barton fires an explosive arrow behind him, taking down the Tracksuits who were recovering.
	+ Barton and Bishop leave, and Bishop is warned that her mother left the building. Bishop resolves to find her mother, and Barton checks on her. As she leaves, Kazimierczak, Ivan Banionis and another Tracksuit Mafia member arrive. Barton shoots two consecutive arrows at the trio, with the second arrow splitting the first. The two halves of the first arrow take out Kazimierczak's allies, but Kazimierczak catches the arrow heading towards him in his hand. Kazimierczak raises his gun to shoot at Barton, but Barton is knocked out of the way by Belova.
	+ Lopez arrives to confront Kazimierczak. Kazimierczak tells Lopez that she should have left and not returned, and the two fight. Lopez disarms Kazimierczak and kicks him back.
	+ Barton recovers from Belova's attack, and Belova asks about the events surrounding Natasha Romanoff's death. Barton tells Belova that Romanoff sacrificed herself and saved the world, extending his condolences. Belova refuses to believe Barton and kicks him.
	+ Lopez approaches Kazimierczak and pleads him to stop fighting and leave with her. Kazimierczak refuses, saying it is his life, and was never supposed to be hers. Kazimierczak stands up, telling her not to make him hurt her.
	+ Eleanor Bishop enters her limo and sits down, hoping to find Kate Bishop. However, she sees that her limo driver is dead. Wilson Fisk rips the door off her car and tells Eleanor to talk. Kate appears and points an arrow at him, demanding he get away from Eleanor. Kate fires the arrow, but Fisk simply pushes it out of his way. Bishop shoots a grappling arrow at Fisk, but he grabs it and uses it to pull Kate toward him and punch her. Fisk approaches Kate, but Eleanor drives the car into Fisk, pushing him into a store.
	+ Kazimierczak tells Lopez that it is too late for him, despite Lopez's insistence that it is not. Kazimierczak says that Kingpin will never let him leave, and that he cannot walk between worlds. He then tries to attack Lopez with an arrow he pulled from a nearby body, only for her to turn it around and stab him in the stomach. Lopez cries as her childhood friend falls to the ground and dies. Kazimierczak warns Lopez to leave, since Fisk is coming for her.
	+ Fisk rights himself and approaches Eleanor, but is intercepted by Kate, who he simply pushes to the side. Kate uses an arrow to create a web of electric cables between Fisk and Eleanor. She rushes toward Fisk, who punches her across the room.
	+ Barton and Belova fight, and Barton again says that Romanoff's death was her own choice. Belova yells at him to stop lying and throws him down. Barton gets Belova in a chokehold and says that he could not stop her from sacrificing herself. Belova refuses to listen and breaks the choke hold, hitting Barton.
	+ Kate starts to crawl, but Fisk grabs her quiver and throws her away. He snaps her arrows in half, telling Bishop to mind her own business. Fisk starts walking toward Eleanor, and Kate attacks him. Fisk grabs Kate and throws her across the room.
	+ Belova asks why Romanoff would sacrifice herself for him and why he deserves it, and Barton says that he does not. He explains that he fought to be the one to sacrifice herself, and Belova says that he should have fought harder before attacking him repeatedly with her baton, knocking him down.
	+ Kate Bishop runs toward Fisk, who pushes her back with ease. Fisk says that Bishop is starting to annoy him and walks toward him. Bishop takes one of Fisk's cufflinks which she had stolen and flicks it at the trick arrows, causing them to explode underneath him and sending him flying back.
	+ Bishop gets up and rushes to Eleanor's aid, helping her out of the car. Eleanor tearfully apologizes and promises that things will return to normal. However, Kate says that it has never been normal. Eleanor tries to describe her relationship with Fisk as an arrangement, but Kate scolds her for killing Armand Duquesne III, hiring Belova, and framing Jack Duquesne. Eleanor tries to say that it is how the world works and that Kate was simply sheltered.
	+ Eleanor tries to explain that she did what she did for Kate, since she does not believe that Kate can handle living without money. Kate asks how she could know, and Eleanor says that Kate believes herself able to live without consequences. She says that people have to take responsibility, when the police arrive and arrest her. Eleanor asks if arresting their mother on Christmas is heroic, and Kate simply apologizes, saying that she loves her mother.
	+ Belova prepares to shoot Barton, but Barton whistles the tune that she and Romanoff would whistle when they were young. Startled at him knowing their secret whistle, Belova asks how he knows it. Barton tells Belova that Romanoff always told him about her and their life together, and that Romanoff always wished for Belova's safety.
	+ Belova gets emotional, and the pair agree that Barton got a lot of time with Romanoff. Belova says that she could have stopped Romanoff, and Barton says that nothing could have. Barton tells her that they are going to have to find a way to live with Romanoff's choice. An emotional Belova says that she loved her sister, and Barton says that he did as well. Belova helps Barton to his feet, and Barton extends his condolences. Belova wordlessly walks away.

* Fisk walks through an alley and is approached by Lopez in a truck. Fisk is relieved to see her, but Lopez pulls out a gun. Fisk tells Lopez that they are family while Lopez raises her gun. Fisk tries to say that family does not always get along, but Lopez pulls the trigger, shooting him on his left eye.
* Grills, Missy, and Orville work with the on-duty police to make sure that they arrest the right people. Missy and Orville brag about working with Barton.
* Conrad tells Duquesne that his swordsmanship is impressive and asks if he has heard of LARPing. Conrad begins to invite Duquesne to her guild, but Duquesne cuts her off, realizing that there is blood on his tie.
* Barton and Bishop sit in an ambulance. Barton tells her that he has come across someone who makes him better. He jokes that he means Missy, but then tells her that it is impressive she managed to take on Fisk. He says that he is very proud of her, and the two hold hands as Bishop thanks him. Barton and Bishop agree that they have to walk the dog.

#### 25th

* Kate Bishop, Clint Barton and the newly named Lucky arrive at Barton's homestead.
* Clint opens the trunk and pulls his bag out. He takes several gifts out of the trunk and is joined by Bishop, who takes Lucky toward the door. Bishop asks if Barton is sure it is okay that she join, and Barton says that his family is excited to meet her.
* Nathaniel Barton excitedly rushes out the door and hugs Clint. Lila and Cooper Barton greet him, excited that he made it in time, while Nathaniel introduces himself to Bishop. Clint introduces Bishop and goes inside.
* Clint greets Laura Barton and hugs her. The two say that they missed each other. As Bishop and Lucky enter, Clint introduces her to Laura. Laura hugs Bishop.
* Nathaniel opens a Nerf Blaster he received for Christmas and gets excited. Clint looks at Laura while the kids get excited and tells her that her watch was found at a black market auction. Laura takes it and thanks him, looking at the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo on the back. Clint jokingly tells her to take better care of her stuff, and Laura says that he is not one to talk. Clint asks Bishop to help him with something.
* Clint Barton and Bishop go outside, where Barton puts the Ronin suit onto the grill, offering her to help him end what she started. Bishop lights a match and sets the suit on fire. Bishop jokingly suggests a eulogy, and Barton nods. Bishop suggests codenames for herself, which Barton dislikes. Barton says that he has an idea for a name.

2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 2.8 In *Black Panther: Wakanda Forever: The Courage to Dream*, the narrative in the first portion of the book talks about T'Challa as if he were alive. The narrative in the first section is talking from the time where Assata considers her options by the Amanzi Kwakhona Umlambo, suggesting that T'Challa is alive at that point in the book. The day after, Assata joins the Dora Milaje, and then "a few weeks later," Ramonda is described in the narrative as "Queen Ramonda," and Assata addresses Ramonda as "my queen." *Black Panther: Wakanda Forever* shows that Ramonda had to be "reinstated" as Queen of Wakanda following T'Challa's death, meaning that this scene in the book must be after T'Challa's death. It can therefore be taken that T'Challa's death occurs between Assata joining the Dora Milaje and meeting Ramonda. "A few weeks" can refer to anywhere from 3-5 weeks, so it can be approximated that these events happened approximately 14 days before and after T'Challa's death, respectively. T'Challa's death is on the reasoned date May 3, 2024 (see other references), placing Assata joining the Dora Milaje on April 19 and meeting Ramonda on May 19. The events in the days preceding Assata joining the Dora Milaje can therefore be taken to have occurred on April 17-18. The event before then, Assata enrolling in Wakanda University, can therefore be taken to have happened at the beginning of that semester, in January.

Since Sam knows about the loan and didn't assume the man paid it off during the five years he was dead due to Thanos' Snap, it can be assumed that Sarah loaned the money after Sam's return on October 17, 2023 (see 2023 references). Sarah loaning the money can therefore be approximated to the time between Sam's return and this line being said, approximately January 13, 2024.

The invention of the device can be approximated to the midpoint of these dates, January 18, 2024.

Morris can therefore be taken to have been found on January 29, 2024.

18. ↑ 18.0 18.1 18.2 18.3 18.4 18.5 *Thor: Love and Thunder* shows a montage of adventures Thor went on with the Guardians of the Galaxy between his joining the team on October 30, 2023 (see 2023 references) and the Battle of Indigarr on October 21, 2025 (see 2025 references). The montage ends with Thor planting Stormbreaker on the ground in Indigarr. When Thor lifts Stormbreaker out of the ground, the handle made from Groot's arm has already taken root. Based on the amount it has grown, it can be approximated that Thor planted Stormbreaker two days prior to the battle, so on October 19, 2025. The rest of the events of the montage can therefore be distributed evenly between then and October 30, 2023.

20. ↑ The opening credits of *Never Meet Your Heroes* shows a montage of events in Kate Bishop's life. These events are:

	* Eleanor Bishop giving Kate a bow and arrow
	* Eleanor watching as Kate fires and hits a target twice
	* Kate placing a picture of her and Derek on a shelf
	* Kate placing a trophy on a shelf
	* Kate firing three arrows at two targets
	* Kate eating dinner with Eleanor at a young age
	* Kate eating dinner with Eleanor while older
	* Kate firing an arrow
	* Kate achieving third place in a fencing tournament
	* Seventeen ribbons and trophies sitting on Kate's shelf
	* Eleanor placing her hand on Kate's shoulder as Kate fires an arrow
	* Kate achieving second place in a fencing tournament
	* Kate as a yellow belt fighting a black belt in karate
	* Kate losing a fencing match
	* Kate touching her opponent in a fencing tournament
	* Kate as a black belt
	* Kate doing a flip on a bar
	* Kate firing three arrows at three different targets
	* Kate making first place in a fencing tournament
	* Kate standing on a balance beam on one foot
	* Kate standing on the roof of a building on one foot and jumping onto another building
Kate is shown asking Eleanor for a bow and arrow is dated to May 9, 2012 (see 2012 references), so her receiving the bow, which is shown to be soon after, can be taken to be the next day. Since the montage details Kate's training, it can also be understood that the first scene of Kate firing her bow and arrow is meant to be the first time she used it, placing that scene on May 10, 2012 as well.
In *Never Meet Your Heroes*, Eleanor says to Kate, "I still remember when you got your black belt at 15." This event is dated to December 15, 2017 (see 2017 references). It takes approximately 54 months to earn a black belt. However, in *Hide and Seek*, Kate says, "I, uh, started martial arts training when I was five." It must therefore be taken that she started at five, but did not take it seriously until after she decided she would protect her family in 2012. Using 54 months prior to when she earned her black belt, June 2013, as a starting point, Kate would have earned her yellow belt at the 3 month mark, in September 2013. She would have earned her orange belt, therefore ending her time as a yellow belt, that December. This fight can therefore be approximated to the midpoint of these dates, October 15, 2013. The scenes preceding this scene can therefore be evenly distributed between May 10, 2012 and October 15, 2013. Similarly, the scenes that follow this scene can be evenly distributed between October 15, 2013, and the start of the present day events, December 19, 2024 (see other references), while keeping events clear of events given more specific dates.

While on the flight to Macau, Xu states that he was sent to kill the Iron Gang leader when he was "14" and that he changed his name when he was "15." Xu fled to the United States shortly after the Assassination of the Iron Gang Leader and met Katy Chen after changing his name, and both of these events are referred to have happened "ten years" prior to the "PRESENT DAY," meaning he turned 15 years old ten years ago. Incorporating Xu's shirt, his 15th birthday would have either been in 2013 or 2014, with the main events of the film taking place ten years later. Since the film occurs after *Avengers: Endgame*, which takes place in October 2023 (see 2023 references), this places the main events in either late 2023 or 2024.
On Xu's bedside table, a magazine can be seen reading "SPRING'S TOP TALENT," suggesting it is currently spring, so spring 2024. Furthermore, when Xu reveals to Chen that he has a sister, he says that the postcard addressed to him was sent "a few months ago." The postcard is dated to "12-04," so this places the film's main events a few months after December 4th, which fits with spring. On the wall of Xu's apartment, an April calendar, evidenced by the month being numbered "4," the background being spring-themed, and the fact that it has 30 days, can be seen. Although the days of the week may not line up, this would fit well as being around April 2024, aligning nicely with the other spring evidence. On top of this, as the map to Ta Lo is being revealed, Xu Wenwu explains, "The passage to Ta Lo is guarded by a moving maze. But there's a direct path through the forest that only opens once a year on Qingming Jie." This is in reference to the Qingming Festival, which was held on April 4th in 2024, fitting perfectly with the other evidence. Based on the passage of time throughout the movie, the main events of the film can be firmly dated to March 27-April 4, 2024. Although a poster on the bus says "JAZZ BLUES FESTIVAL JULY 21 - 28," it can simply be taken that the festival is being advertised a few months ahead of time, allowing a March-April setting to still work out perfectly.

25. ↑ In *New World Order*, Christina Raynor says to Bucky Barnes, "I am the only person you have called all week." It is unclear whether Raynor is referring to the calendar week or the past seven days. She says this on Wednesday, April 10, 2024 (see other references), so if she is referring to the calendar week, the call would be approximated to the Monday prior, April 8. If she was referring to the past seven days, the call would be approximated to the Saturday prior, April 6. Therefore, the phone call can be approximated to April 7, 2024.
26. ↑ In *A Normal Amount of Rage*, Jennifer Walters is shown in a business negligence trial on April 7, 2025 (see 2025 references). Such trials tend to take approximately one year, so it can be approximated that the initial incident happened in April 2024.

The next day, he refers to the Blip, which occurred on October 17, 2023 (see 2023 references), as having happened "a few months ago." This should therefore be as short a time as possible after the Blip, six months later, so approximately April 2024. In *The Star-Spangled Man*, Lemar Hoskins says, "2 weeks ago we're prepping the team for a special ops mission in Chile, now this" referring to John Walker's appointment as Captain America. Sara Haines then says that Walker's interview with *Good Morning America* is at the end of a rollout tour, so this should be as long as possible after the official announcement that Walker would be Captain America, so two weeks later. In *The Star-Spangled Man* and the following episodes, there are several references to events happening "six months ago" that would have occurred sometime after the Blip, such as the Flag Smashers forming and a resettlement camp teacher asking for more supplies, all further supporting that this is at least April 2024.

However, the Dora Milaje appear throughout *The Whole World Is Watching* and *Truth* and make no mention of T'Challa's death, suggesting that their scenes should ideally occur before May 3, 2024 (see other references) if possible. Therefore, in order to place *The Star Spangled Man* and the following episodes as late as possible, the Arrest of Baron Zemo, the final scene featuring the Dora Milaje, can be taken to occur in early May soon before T'Challa's death. This would subsequently place the beginning of *New World Order* around early-mid April 2024, with *Star-Spangled Man*, *Power Broker*, and *The Whole World Is Watching*, as well as the events of *Truth* through Wilson starting his training, occurring around late April-early May 2024. This all aligns with *Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline* placing the events of the episodes' events in "Spring 2024," as well as T'Challa's death immediately following *Truth*.

However, starting with the Global Repatriation Council getting attacked in New York, *Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline* places the remaining events in "Summer 2024," between Peter Parker's identity getting revealed on July 7, 2024 (see other references) and his meeting with Matt Murdock shortly after. To best satisfy the small amount of time between implied between Parker's arrest and meeting with Murdock compromised with the longer implied amount of time passing in *One World, One People*, it can be taken that the GRC is attacked on July 7, 2024, very soon after the reveal of Parker's identity, and Parker meets with Murdock on July 15, 2024 (stretching those events), with the rest of *One World, One People'*s events taking place between those dates (squeezing those events). *Truth* includes a montage in which Wilson trains to use Captain America's shield, the days of which can be evenly distributed over the 2-month gap the book introduces of May 6-July 7, 2024.

It can be inferred that Soo is referring to the amount of time since their last meeting, dated to the night of March 27-28, 2024 (see other references). *Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline* places this scene before the start of *New World Order* on April 9, 2024 (see other references). To keep the scene as close to two weeks later as possible, it can be placed on Tuesday, April 9, 2024.

32. ↑ In *The Whole World Is Watching*, a news report says that one of the people killed in the destruction of the supply depot had "only been on the job for one week." The depot was destroyed on Monday, April 29, 2024, so the employee joining can be taken to be the week prior, either Sunday or Monday. Since Monday is usually considered the start of the week, it can be taken that the employee began working on Monday, April 21, 2024.

34. ↑ In *Truth*, Sarah Wilson tells Sam Wilson for the first time that Mr. Dinh was not buying the boat. Since Wilson did not know, this decision would have been made between the time when Sam left to look for the Flag Smashers on April 25, 2024 and his returning home on May 3, 2024 (see other references). Therefore, it can be approximated to the midpoint, April 29, 2024.

This is four days before a deleted scene shows the date to be "2025-05-07." The anniversary scene can therefore be placed on May 3, 2025, with T'Challa's death on May 3, 2024.
Some time is shown to have passed between T'Challa's death and the funeral. Ramonda expresses disappointment that Nakia did not go from Haiti, suggesting that she would have had enough time to do so. Later in the movie, a funeral from Ramonda is held the day after her death. It can therefore be approximated that the funeral occurred two days following his death, so on May 5, 2025.
38. ↑ In *Spider-Man: Far From Home*, the film *Heart of Iron: The Tony Stark Story* is shown to exist by June 27, 2024 (see other references). This would be made after the events of October 17, 2023 (see 2023 references). It would take at least half a year to have been released, meaning it was released between April 18, 2024 and June 27, 2024. So, its release may be approximated to the midpoint of May 23, 2024. With most films releasing on a Friday, it may be approximated to the nearest Friday: May 24, 2024.

43. ↑ In *The Goldfish Problem*, a store is shown to have a piece of art labeled as a "BASEL FRIDAY" in April 2025 (see 2025 references). Art Basel occurs in June, so the painting can be approximated to have been bought in June 2024.
44. ↑ 44.0 44.1 44.2 In *Spider-Man: Far From Home*, on Friday, June 28, 2024 (see other references), "Fury" says the event in Ixtenco was "a week ago". This would specifically suggest it was around June 21, 2024, but could more generally mean "the week of June 23-29, 2024 - 1 week = week of June 16-22, 2024", so approximately June 19, 2024. Overall, it can be approximated to June 20, 2024.

This is supported later when, in 2014, Ebony Maw says that Nebula has come from "9 years in the future", 2023. In *Spider-Man: Far From Home*, Betty Brant says on the last day of school, in late June, that the snapped people were brought back "8 months" ago. This would place Hulk's snap in October, so October 2023. Therefore, 8 months later, this is June 2024.
In June 2019, which has the same days of the week as June 2024, New York high schools finished on June 26th (1, 2, 3), so the most likely date for the last day of school in the 2023-2024 academic year is June 26, 2024. This scene is preceded by Mysterio arriving in Ixtenco, Mexico. *Peter's To-Do List* reveals that it is the day after the end of term that Peter Parker and his classmates go on summer vacation (on the last day of term, Ned Leeds asks Peter Parker what he will do with his "last day in New York"), beginning in Venice.
In the first trailer and in an official social media post, Peter Parker's passport is shown to be issued on "JUL 19" and "19 JULY" respectively, and on the first poster and background art, the passport stamps for Berlin and London are both for "24 JUL". However, by the end of school dates, the trip would be June 27th-July 3rd. Since the passport scene is not in the film and the passport stamps on the poster/background art are already erroneous, saying the year is "19" when it is 2024, these can be discarded in favor of what the film says. This makes Venice June 28th, Prague June 30th, Berlin July 1st, and London July 2nd.

50. ↑ The article in *The Daily Bugle* about Hydro-Man says that it is his "third day in a row" of eluding capture. Hydro-Man first attacked on June 28, 2024 (see other references), so the article was posted on June 20, 2024.
51. ↑ 51.0 51.1 *The Daily Bugle'*s article about Night Monkey says "The good citizens of Prague breathe easier today," and "Tonight, the city of Prague waits in fear." These statements imply that the article was published on the day after Night Monkey's first appearance on June 30, 2024 (see other references), making it July 1, 2024.
52. ↑ 52.0 52.1 52.2 In an article from *The Daily Bugle*, Flash Thompson is shown to have provided the footage taken during the Battle of London. Thompson can be taken to have provided the footage the day following the battle. The article then mentions that *The Daily Bugle* asked other eye witnesses to corroborate Thompson's claims in the video. It can therefore be taken that the article was published two days after Thompson submitted the footage, so on July 5, 2024.
53. ↑ In *Never Meet Your Heroes*, on December 19, 2024, Kate Bishop says that she got a "new" medal, suggesting that it is from the most recent tournament. The U.S. Open Martial Arts Tournament is held in the first week of July, so the midpoint of that week, July 3, 2024, can be taken to be when Bishop won the medal.
54. ↑ In *The Daily Bugle'*s article "FOLLOW-UP WITH HIGH SCHOOL INFLUENCER 'FLASH' ON LONDON ATTACK," it is said that the Tower Bridge has begun clean up efforts. This would have happened between the Battle of London on July 2, 2024 (see other references) and the article being published on July 6, 2024 (see other references). The beginning of clean-up efforts can therefore be approximated to July 4, 2024.
55. ↑ 55.0 55.1 In the post-credits scene of *Spider-Man: Far From Home*, which appears to be not long after the events in London, Talos says they gave Parker Tony Stark's glasses "about a week ago". With that event dated to Friday, June 28, 2024 (see other references), this would specifically suggest it is around July 5, 2024, but could more generally mean "the week of June 23-29, 2024 + 1 week = week of June 30-July 6, 2024", so approximately July 3, 2024. Overall, it can be approximated to July 4, 2024.
56. ↑ 56.0 56.1 56.2 *The Daily Bugle* features an article in which the Queen of England comments on the battle of London. Spider-Man's identity is still not publicly known when the article is published, so it would have been published between the Battle of London on July 2, 2024 (see other references), and his identity getting revealed on July 7, 2024 (see other references). The article can therefore be taken to have been published on the midpoint of these dates, July 5, 2024, with the Queen's comments being made the date prior, July 4, 2024.

It can therefore be taken that the follow-up article was posted on July 6, 2024.

62. ↑ In the *Venom: Let There Be Carnage* post credit scene, on November 12, 2024 (see other references), footage of Peter Parker unmasked is shown, with his red-and-black suit still clean. In *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, green paint is thrown onto the suit on July 8, 2024 (see other references). In order to be both after Parker's identity is revealed and before his suit is covered in paint, it can be placed early in the day of July 8.

Several days later, Peter Parker is arrested and interrogated. On the day of his arrest, a news report says that the Battle of London was "last week," so this can be approximated to July 9, 2024, within the week after the Battle of London. Later, Parker meets with Matt Murdock, and he is then shown moving into Happy Hogan's apartment wearing a different shirt, so that scene can be taken to be the day after. *Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline* places this after Bucky Barnes confesses to killing RJ Nakajima, which is implied to have been some time after the main events of *One World, One People*. To best satisfy the passage of time implied in *One World, One People* and *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, it can be taken that Parker is arrested on July 13 and meets with Murdock on July 15. After a further scene in Hogan's apartment, the next day is said to be Parker's "first day of senior year." In 2019, which had the same weekdays as 2024, New York City schools started on September 5, so this scene can be approximated to September 5, 2024, with a time jump between the two scenes in Hogan's apartment.
Following a time jump in which Parker receives several college rejection letters, Michelle Jones is said to be late to taking down Halloween decorations, suggesting around early November. However, during the Battle for the Macchina di Kadavus, Spider-Man enters a store selling Christmas decorations, suggesting around late November. To appease both, it can be taken to be around mid-November, fitting with *The Daily Bugle* featuring an article in which Parker's secret identity as Spider-Man is known to the public shortly after the United States' Election Day, meaning the events of the movie must be set after November 5, 2024, as well as a full moon being shown on the third day of the main events, which would align with the night of Friday, November 15, 2024. However, also on the third day, a whiteboard in a Midtown Tech classroom shows that students have an "Essay Final Draft Due Friday." This would ideally put the third day on a Wednesday, before the whiteboard would say "Due Tomorrow" or "Due Today." To best satisfy both the full moon and the whiteboard, it can be taken that the third day is in the early hours of Thursday, and that Mr. Cobbwell had not changed it yet. The main events of the movie can therefore be placed as occurring from November 12-14, 2024.
The film's epilogue is said to be set "a few weeks" after the climax of the film, and is set over two days. A weather forecast when Parker visits Jones at work says that it is Monday, and the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is shown to be lit, which happens on the first Wednesday following Thanksgiving. In 2024, this would be December 4, 2024, so the epilogue can therefore be taken to be set on the Monday and Tuesday following December 4, 2024, December 9-10, 2024, "a few weeks" after November 14, 2024.

67. ↑ The first video for *The Daily Bugle*'s TikTok account is posted on Betty Brant's first day on the job. In a later video, it is suggested that she got her job "for your personal connection to Peter Parker," suggesting that she was only hired after Parker was revealed to the world to be Spider-Man on July 7, 2024 (see other references). In another video, she reports on Parker being released by authorities, which lines up with Matt Murdock telling Parker that the charges against him will not stick on July 11, 2024. Brant can therefore be taken to have been hired between these dates, the midpoint of which is July 9, 2024.
68. ↑ 68.0 68.1 68.2 The *The Daily Bugle* article reporting on the reopening of Coney Island states that the revelation of Spider-Man's identity was "last week". With that event dated to July 7, 2024 (see other references), this could refer to an exact seven days, so July 14, 2024, or the week of July 14-July 20, 2024. A weighted calculation places this event on July 15, 2024.
69. ↑ 69.0 69.1 69.2 69.3 69.4 69.5 69.6 69.7 69.8 69.9 In several videos posted to the TikTok account for *The Daily Bugle*, Betty Brant knows that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. These videos would have been posted after Brant became an intern for *The Daily Bugle* on July 9, 2024 (see other references) and before Brant's memory of Parker was erased on November 14, 2024 (see other references). The videos can therefore be distributed throughout that time.
70. ↑ In a TikTok video from the official account for *The Daily Bugle* posted on September 25, 2024 (see other references), Betty Brant reminds Ned Leeds of an inappropriate text he sent her following their break-up. This text could have been sent anytime between their break up on July 3, 2024 (see other references) and this video being posted, and can therefore be approximated to the midpoint, August 14, 2024.
71. ↑ In *The Daily Bugle* video "Spider Sycophant," J. Jonah Jameson advertises on September 5, 2024 (see other references) an expose he had written as though it were recent, seemingly within the past week and absolutely within the past month. A weighted calculation would place the expose's publication on August 25, 2024.
72. ↑ In *Black Panther: Wakanda Forever*, Riri Williams says that she got access to the garage where she built her vibranium detector and stored her armor after making a deal with the head of sanitation. Williams says this as a freshman, which is also when she built the detector, so it can be taken that this deal occurred early into her time at MIT, in September 2024.
73. ↑ In *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, Flash Thompson is shown advertising his "new book" on September 5, 2024 (see other references). In a video published the previous day, he says that it will release "tomorrow." The book was therefore published on September 5, 2024.
74. ↑ In *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, Liz Allan is shown to have been interviewed by *People* by November 13, 2024 (see other references) regarding Peter Parker being Spider-Man. This would have occurred after Parker's identity was revealed on July 7, 2024. It can therefore be taken that she was interviewed on the midpoint of these dates, September 9, 2024.
75. ↑ The Daily Bugle's social media accounts show a picture of Peter Parker being wanted for his actions as Spider-Man, meaning it was posted at a time when his identity was known to the public. With his identity being revealed to the public on July 7, 2024 (see other references), and Doctor Strange erasing the public's memory of Parker on November 14, 2024 (see other references), this post can be taken to have been posted on the midpoint of those dates, September 10, 2024.

77. ↑ In *Eternals*, Kingo says on October 15, 2024 (see other references), "I can't just go. I mean, all these people depend on me, we just started shooting this movie." Bollywood movies take between thirty days and six months to shoot, with thirty to sixty day schedules becoming more common. A weighted calculation, placing more weight on the more common, gives *Legend of Icarus* a sixty-six day filming schedule. It can be approximated that Kingo is in the middle of this filming schedule, and therefore started filming approximately thirty-three days before he says his line, so on September 12, 2023.
78. ↑ In the "Web of Lies" portion of *The Daily Bugle*, rumors are shown to have spread about Peter Parker's eating habits. To allow time for the rumors to spread, the earliest this article can have been published is one week after Parker's identity was revealed to the public on July 7, 2024 (see other references). The article therefore would have been posted between then and the public forgetting that Parker exists on November 14, 2024 (see other references), placing it on September 13, 2024.
79. ↑ Jack Triconi's portion of *The Daily Bugle* was updated on September 26, 2019, after the website itself was launched. Considering the approximate amount of time between the posting and the update, it can be taken that Triconi was arrested five days after the Blip Blog was posted on September 13, 2024 (see other references), so on September 18, 2024.
80. ↑ In *A Normal Amount of Rage*, Jennifer Walters says on approximately October 5, 2024 (see other references), "I just got my own office," implying it was recent. This can be taken to have occurred within the month leading up to when she says the line, placing it on approximately the midpoint of that time, September 19, 2024.
81. ↑ 81.0 81.1 An article in *The Daily Bugle* references people planning to raid Area 51. This is a reference to the real-world event Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All Of Us, which occurred on September 20, 2019. It can therefore be taken that the MCU's version of the event occurred on September 20, 2024, and that the article was written the following day.
82. ↑ *The Daily Bugle'*s warning about fake accounts was posted during a time when other articles were being posted to the website. The earliest article on the website was post on June 27, 2024 (see other references), and the website closed on December 21, 2024 (see other references). The warning can be approximated to have been posted on the midpoint of these dates, September 23, 2024.
83. ↑ In *Eternals*, on October 15, 2024 (see other references), Kingo says, "We just got BTS to do a cameo." This could have occurred between Kingo saying this and the movie starting filming, which is approximated to have occurred on September 12, 2024 (see other references). It can therefore be taken that BTS agreed to their cameo on the midpoint of these two dates, September 28, 2024.
84. ↑ In *Eternals*, Sersi says that she bought Dane Whitman's ring on eBay. This realistically would have happened within a month before Whitman's birthday, which is approximated to October 13, 2024 (see other references). Sersi buying the ring can therefore be approximated to the middle of the month leading up to Whitman's birthday, approximately September 28, 2024.
85. ↑ 85.0 85.1 In *Never Meet Your Heroes*, Eleanor Bishop says to Kate Bishop, "there have been a few changes while you were away this semester" regarding her relationship with Jack Duquesne. Kate later comments that things moved "fast," suggesting that the changes included the start of Eleanor and Duquesne's relationship is one of the changes Eleanor is referring to. The start of their relationship and their engagement can therefore be distributed across Bishop's semester, which would last from September through December 2024. It can therefore be taken that they started dating on September 28, 2024 and got engaged on November 21, 2024.
86. ↑ 86.0 86.1 In *Black Panther: Wakanda Forever*, Riri Williams says of the Vibranium Detector, "I made that for my metallurgy class." The MIT class "Modern Blacksmithing and Physical Metallurgy" is only offered to freshmen in the fall semester, and Williams says this line in May 2025 (see 2025 references). Williams says that she is "Nineteen" years old, so it can be taken that she is a freshman during the events of the movie and built the machine in the Fall 2024 semester. Williams says that it took her a "couple months" to build, so these events can be spread out through the semester, which starts shortly after Labor Day and ends in mid-December. It can therefore be taken that the initial challenge from Williams' professor occured on September 29, 2024, and that Williams finished the device on November 18, 2024.
87. ↑ *Ms. Marvel: 1.01: Generation Why*
88. ↑ In *Generation Why* and *No Normal*, Coles Academic High School is shown to have won several volleyball championships in various years. Volleyball championships in New Jersey tend to happen in October, so they can be approximated to October of each year.
89. ↑ In *Eternals*, on October 12, 2024 (see other references), Ikaris says, "They must have been trapped in the ice for centuries and broke free last week when the glacier started to melt as the Earth's core heats up for the Emergence." "Last week" can refer to "seven days ago," so on October 5, 2024, or within the previous week, so September 29-October 5, 2024. A weighted calculation, putting more weight on the more specific, places the Deviants thawing on October 4, 2024.
90. ↑ 90.00 90.01 90.02 90.03 90.04 90.05 90.06 90.07 90.08 90.09 90.10 90.11 90.12 90.13 90.14 90.15 90.16 90.17 90.18 90.19 90.20 90.21 90.22 90.23 90.24 90.25 90.26 90.27 90.28 90.29 90.30 90.31 90.32 90.33 90.34 90.35 90.36 90.37 90.38 90.39 90.40 90.41 90.42 90.43 In *A Normal Amount of Rage*, Jennifer Walters says on the reasoned date of April 7, 2025 (see 2025 references) that her car crash was "a few months ago." When Walters enters the restroom following the car accident, "Green was Here 10-4" can be seen on a chalkboard. *Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline* places the flashbacks after Peter Parker's return to school on September 5, 2024 (see other references) and before the events of *Eternals*, which starts on October 12, 2024 (see other references). This suggests that the crash and its subsequent events occurred on October 5-12, 2024, aligning with being after October 4, and that the present day events of Episode 1 are a few months after that.
91. ↑ In *Eternals*, Gilgamesh says on October 15, 2024 (see other references), "I made it from corn. I chew each kernel myself and ferment it in my spit." Ales take between two and five days to ferment, and Gilgamesh says his line in order to explain to Kingo that make each beer takes a long time. It can therefore be approximated that Gilgamesh started fermenting this beer five days prior to the day he says his line, October 10, 2024.

Other dialogue from Ajak, Ikaris, and news reports throughout the film further imply that the Blip was fairly recent. Later in the movie, Ajak says, "5 years ago, Thanos erased half of the population of the universe." Thanos' actions occurred in 2018 (see 2018 references), placing *Eternals* in 2023. When Sersi and Ikaris arrive in Chicago, a pumpkin can be seen at the side of Phastos' house, implying that it is either around Halloween time or, more simply, that is fall, with the pumpkin being used as a seasonal decoration. The weather, foliage, and attire present in the London and Chicago scenes most closely match a late fall or early winter setting, suggesting around November or December. All together, this suggests a Fall 2023 setting for the movie. However, *Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline* places it in "Fall 2024," with the "TWO WEEKS LATER" epilogue in "October 2024," although the weather in the scene appears to suggest winter.
In the London scenes of the film, several posters can be seen advertising events happening in late November and early December. There is shown to be a full moon over London. The day before the full moon, Ajak says that they have "seven days" until the Emergence occurs. To align with the rest of the evidence, it can be taken that the full moon is not quite full, but very close on October 13, 2024, and that those seven days are from October 12-19, 2024. This places the epilogue, in which Thena, Druig, and Makkari leave in the *Domo* and Arishem takes the remaining Eternals on October 31, 2024.
93. ↑ 93.0 93.1 93.2 93.3 93.4 *Eternals* - Deleted Scene
94. ↑ In *Eternals*, Dane Whitman is shown to have discovered the Ebony Blade and his family's history prior to October 31, 2024 (see other references). He did not know about his family's past prior to the main events of the movie, so can be taken to have found out after Sersi would have returned from preventing the Emergence on October 19, 2024. Whitman's discovery can therefore be taken to have occurred between these dates and approximated to October 25, 2024.

96. ↑ In *Echoes*, Kate Bishop is surprised by a new level of security on her mother's laptop. It can be taken to have happened between Bishop's college semester starting in September 2024 and the date she discovers it, December 21, 2024. Eleanor Bishop can therefore be taken to have added the security on the midpoint of these dates, October 26, 2024.
97. ↑ In *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, Stephen Strange says on November 12, 2024 (see other references) that a "monthly" maintenance spell is required for the Rotunda of Gateways. It can therefore be taken that the gateways were meant to be repaired between the date the line was said and a month prior, October 12, 2024. Strange and Wong neglecting to perform the spell can therefore be approximated to have happened on the midpoint of these dates, October 27, 2024.
98. ↑ 98.0 98.1 *Ms. Marvel: 1.02: Crushed*
99. ↑ 99.0 99.1 In *Crushed*, Nakia Bahadir says, "We spend six weeks on ancient Rome and ancient Greece but six minutes on ancient Persia and Byzantium" on the reasoned date of September 29, 2025 (see 2025 references). Given this is less than six weeks into the school year, it can be taken that Bahadir learned about Greece and Rome in the previous school year, the 2024-2025 school year. In world history textbooks, Greece and Rome is a subject discussed approximately 11% through the curriculum. However, since Bahadir is still in World History, it can be taken that the course was split into two years, meaning the subject would have been brought up approximately 21% of the way through the school year. It can therefore be taken that this occurred from October 31-December 12, 2024.

101. ↑ In *Echoes*, Moira Brandon's apartment is shown to have a calendar left open to November, despite the scene being set in December. In *Hide and Seek*, Kate Bishop says that Brandon went to Florida for the winter, so it can therefore be taken that she left in November, the previous month.
102. ↑ In *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, Michelle Jones' boss gets frustrated on November 12, 2024 (see other references) that the Halloween decorations have not yet been taken down, despite him having asked someone to take them down. This request can be taken to have been made the day after Halloween, so November 1, 2024.
103. ↑ In *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, Wong explains on November 12, 2024 (see other references) that a blizzard had entered the building. Stephen Strange clarifies that it happened because the Rotunda of Gateways was not sealed on October 27, 2024 (see other references). The blizzard can be approximated to the midpoint of these two dates, November 3, 2024.
104. ↑ 104.0 104.1 104.2 The *The Daily Bugle* article about the Prime Minister asking for money from the United States government says that it occurred while "Our government is a bit distracted counting the ballots," implying that the request was made on United States Election Day, which in 2024 happened on November 5, 2024. It can therefore be taken that the article about it was published the following day.
105. ↑ *Secret Invasion: 1.06: Home*
106. ↑ 106.0 106.1 106.2 In the *Eternals* mid-credits scene, Makkari says, "It's been weeks. We haven't heard from any of them," referring to Sersi, Kingo, and Phastos. "Weeks" refers to two weeks at a minimum and seven at a maximum, before it becomes "months." It can therefore be approximated that this scene takes place approximately 4.5 weeks following Sersi, Kingo, and Phastos' disappearance. Their abduction occurred on October 31, 2024 (see other references), suggesting it should be at least two weeks since then. In the post-credits scene, Dane Whitman can be seen retrieving the Ebony Blade as a reaction to Sersi's abduction, suggesting it is the same day.
However, *Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline* places the Whitman scene after Makkari says "It's been weeks," but before Peter Parker approaches Doctor Strange on November 12, 2024 (see other references). To best satisfy the evidence, it can be taken that both credits scenes are set on November 12, 2024.

Disney+'s "Marvel Cinematic Universe in Timeline Order" section places the movie before *Hawkeye*: Season One, meaning the film should occur before Christmas 2024 (see other references). As he gets ready for Christine Palmer's wedding, Strange's watch shows that it is currently "TUE," "NOV," and "23" with an illegible year. Although the day of the week may not line up, this fits well as being November 23, 2024, meeting the requirement of having to occur between mid-November and late December as well as aligning nicely with the autumnal foliage shown throughout the film. Wanda Maximoff later says to Strange, having arranged to meet at sunset, "All this for a child you met yesterday?" This places Maximoff's attack and the rest of the movie's main events on the following day, November 24, 2024.
The film's epilogue is implied to be quite soon after its main events. However, cuts that Strange and America Chavez once had are shown to have healed, suggesting at least a bit of time has passed. Stretching both implications, it can be taken that Strange talks to Chavez in Kamar-Taj around five days after the climax, on November 29, 2024, and that he fixed his watch and developed a third eye the next day, on November 30, 2024.
109. ↑ 109.0 109.1 The video accompanying the article from *The Daily Bugle* about Spider-Man's web features an image from the Battle at the Alexander Hamilton Bridge, which occurred on November 12, 2024 (see other references). The article being published can be approximated to the midpoint of then and the website's closure on December 21, 2024 (see other references), placing it on December 2, 2024.
110. ↑ Sometimes the *Marvel Cinematic Universe* alludes to events which will happen in our world, and it is assumed they happen on the same dates in the universe, for timeline purposes.
111. ↑ In *Hide and Seek*, Jack Duquesne says, "I bought a book about being stepdad." Since the book is specifically about being a stepfather, Duquesne must have bought the book after he got engaged to Eleanor Bishop on the reasoned date of November 21, 2024 (see other references). It can therefore be taken that he bought the book between then and Duquesne saying this on December 20, 2024, the midpoint of which is December 5, 2024.
112. ↑ In the mid-credits scene of *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness*, it appears to be winter based on the clothing being worn. However, it has not started to snow yet in New York, which occurred in *Spider-Man: No Way Home* on December 9, 2024 (see other references). With Strange first getting his third eye on November 30, 2024 (see other references), it can be taken that the mid-credits scene happens soon before the snow starts, December 6, 2024.
113. ↑ In *Echoes*, Tomas says on December 21, 2024, "I buy Imagine Dragons tickets for my girlfriend, as, like, early Christmas gift, right?" This suggests that Tomas bought the tickets between the start of December and the day the line is said. The purchase can therefore be approximated to the midpoint of these dates, December 11, 2024.
114. ↑ The *Daily Bugle* Supplements advertisement on the TikTok account was posted a substantial amount of time following the remainder of the videos, and is the only one not to mention Peter Parker or Spider-Man, suggesting that the video was posted after people's memories of Parker were removed on November 14, 2024 (see other references). Brant began her internship with the *Bugle* on July 9, 2024 (see other references), and internships tend to last three to six months, meaning the video cannot have been posted after January 9, 2025, six months after Brant's internship started. The video being posted can be approximated to the midpoint of these dates, December 12, 2024.
115. ↑ *Werewolf by Night*
116. ↑ An epitaph in the introduction of *Werewolf by Night* has Latin text which says that Ulysses Bloodstone "was slain on the last full moon of the year," placing his death in December. However, *Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline* places the main events of the special in "Fall 2025," suggesting that Ulysses was killed in December 2024.
In the special, Jack Russell says, "the next full moon is in five days." Fall 2025 suggests that the special is set in October. Five days prior to a full moon in October aligns with October 31, 2025. The special can therefore be taken to be set on October 31, 2025, with the ending scene with Russell and Man-Thing being set the following day.

118. ↑ In *Partners, Am I Right?*, Eleanor Bishop says on December 21, 2024, "The other day, you said 'Absence makes the heart grow older.'" Kate Bishop is not aware of this incident, so it can be taken that Duquesne said it prior to her return to New York City on December 19, 2024. In order for Eleanor's line to work, "The other day" cannot mean more than a week prior, so Duquesne said it after December 13, 2024. The midpoint of these dates, December 16, 2024, can be used as an approximation for when Duquesne said this incorrect aphorism.
119. ↑ 119.0 119.1 119.2 119.3 The article on *The Daily Bugle* about savies features a picture of Spider-Man swinging through Rockefeller Center in his new Spider-Man Suit, which happened on December 10, 2024 (see other references). After that, the website is shown to experience a "HOLIDAY CLOSURE," implying it is closer to Christmas. These two posts can therefore be distributed between December 10 and December 25, 2024, placing the article about savies on December 16, 2024 and the site closure on December 21, 2024.
120. ↑ In *Never Meet Your Heroes*, a member of the NYC LARPers is shown to have posted to social media about rust. It is still a recent post, so the purchase and post can be taken to have occurred within a week before Clint Barton saw it on December 20, 2024. The midpoint of that week-long period is December 16, 2024, so the purchase can be approximated to then.

In *Echoes*, a car owned by a member of the Tracksuit Mafia is shown with an "05 25" registration sticker, meaning the series is set before May 2025. In *Ronin*, it is shown that Kate Bishop won a fencing tournament on "3/19/2024," meaning the series is set after March 19, 2024. These together would suggest December 2024, as this is the only December between these two dates. Furthermore, in *Echoes*, a Chinese New Year poster, which was revealed to read "HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025" in behind-the-scenes photos, can be seen. Since the series is set in December, Chinese New Year would have occurred shortly thereafter at the beginning of the following calendar year. With the poster being for Chinese New Year 2025, this would place the series in December 2024. Finally, in *Ronin*, a ticket for the Bishop Christmas Party shows that it will be held on "24 DECEMBER 2024," confirming a 2024 setting. Despite Rhys Thomas originally stating that the show is set "two years" after *Avengers: Endgame*, he later reclarified, instead saying that it is set only one year after, with this fact also being supported by Trinh Tran. With *Never Meet Your Heroes* beginning six days before Christmas and *So This Is Christmas?* ending on Christmas Day, the show can be taken to elapse from December 19-25, 2024.

Bishop gave Tomas the advice on December 21, 2024. The only dates between these where Tomas' whereabouts at night are not accounted for are December 21 and December 22, 2024, so they can be taken to have went to the concert on December 22, 2024.
