The **timeline** of Earth-Prime is a series of significant events listed in chronological order. The timeline is always in a constant flux when a person with access to some form of time travel goes backwards in time and changes events, creating a new timeline from that moment onward, though some events like the big bang are always supposed to happen.

Because of the nature of Earth-Prime, many events from its constituent Earths have also taken place but with slight changes to certain events. See Timeline of Earth-1, Timeline of Earth-3, Timeline of Earth-38, Timeline of Earth-42, Timeline of Earth-616, Timeline of Earth-666, Timeline of Earth-TUD5 to see more events.
