2010 (Earth-Prime)

* Pt. I
* Pt. II
* Pt. III
* Pt. IV

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.

This is a timeline of events that occurred during **2010**. The following events that takes place in the year; **2010**, also known as **-2690 LY** (according to the Lothal Calendar), **5948 BFE** in the Imperial calendar, and the years: **2010 AD** (Anno Domini) in the C.R.C. calender, with the latter also being known as the original calendar, later known as **5967 BBY**.

## *`2010`*

#### *`January`*

	+ Wilson Fisk loans Derek Bishop a sizable amount of money, going into Fisk's debt.
* **January 6**
	+ Nick Fury sends in a team of United States Navy SEALs to board a ship controlled by the Ten Rings in the port of Aden. However, Iron Man suddenly appears and attacks the terrorists killing them and saving the SEALs.
	+ Iron Man returns to his mansion and informs Pepper Potts about the recent events.
* **January 9**
	+ S.H.I.E.L.D. monitors track Ghost.
	+ MacLaren's has hired a hot female bartender, Karina, and Barney seeks to add her occupation to his list of conquests. But she doesn't like men in suits, having dated insensitive Wall Street losers. Barney is forced to choose between the girl and the suits.
* **January 10**
	+ After leaving class, Ted intercepts a series of frat boys inviting a woman (Cindy) up to the roof to drink. Confiscating the alcohol, he sits down to drink the beer with Cindy, a PhD student roughly his own age to whom he can relate. He asks her out on a date and when he comes to pick her up at her apartment, it turns out Cindy has serious issues with her roommate (who is Ted's future wife); her dates keep falling in love with her roommate, and her roommate's strange habits annoy Cindy. Ted promises Cindy to never fall in love with her roommate, which turns to be impossible for Ted as the roommate is his future wife.
	+ For a while he attempts to dress casually, convincing the hot bartender she misjudged him. He even sneaks away to the bathroom to wear his suit, where he accidentally rips the back. The suit is damaged beyond repair, but his tailor transplants the buttons to save another suit and Barney cremates the remains.
	+ During the date, Cindy explains more about her roommate's strange habits which she dislikes but Ted secretly thinks are awesome. Cindy tells how the Mother paints pictures of robots playing sports and has breakfast foods singing show tunes. Even though she complains about her roommate throughout the evening, Ted wants to continue dating Cindy.
	+ Lily, Marshall, and Robin argue about the bartender's hotness. Robin is jealous, and even gets behind the bar to show how the location amplifies natural beauty. Carl soon kicks her out from behind the bar. Marshall insists that the bartender is not that hot, saying that Lily is the most beautiful woman he has ever met. Lily tries to get Marshall to say that she is not as beautiful as the bartender, and eventually even implies that the bartender is hotter than Marshall, actually upsetting him a little.
* **January 11**
	+ After the date, Cindy tells Ted she can't see him again, blaming the University policy preventing students and lecturers from fraternizing, as she fears it could cost her her scholarship.
	+ At first Ted tries to rationalize her decision as being for the best, especially as the others point out that Cindy's future and Ted's job are in jeopardy. Ted is inspired to try again, and shows up at Cindy's apartment and tries to persuade her to go out with him again, unwilling to miss out on the chance of her being the right woman. She takes Ted to talk in her room as her roommate is just about to leave the shower. As he tries to convince Cindy that their paths are meant to cross, he picks out items from her room which show how much they have in common. Cindy reveals that all three objects (the bass guitar, the Unicorns - 'Who will cut our hair when we are gone? ' album and World's End by T.C. Boyle) are really connected to her roommate.
	+ Frustrated that Ted is already more compatible with her roommate, Cindy tells him to leave. Ted does not meet her roommate, although on his way out he does catch a glimpse of her foot, as she disappears into her bedroom. Ted forgets to take the yellow umbrella he brought with him, unknowingly returning it to its original owner. Tracy is surprised when Cindy explains Ted had fallen for the Mother and all the things in the apartment that were associated with her. Tracy is revealed to be a calligraphist, a coin collector, and fan of renaissance fairs (all things Ted loves). Cindy kisses Tracy in the process, signaling the beginning of how she ultimately ended up with Casey.
	+ With the urn of suit ashes and his real tears for his lost suit, Barney convinces the hot bartender to go home with him. In his apartment Karina accidentally opens his closet full of suits and realizes he deceived her. She forces him to choose between her and his suits.
	+ Inside Barney's mind, a scene then transitions to a fantasy sequence, during which she is shown angrily leaving the building while Barney breaks into "Nothing Suits Me Like a Suit", professing his love of suits. He explains how he couldn't possibly choose one women over his suits that give him so much. He fires beams of magic at people on the street, transforming everyone so that they too are wearing suits. They and the rest of the cast all join in as the song grows to a big Broadway song-and-dance number. The sequence in Barney's mind ends, returning to the moment where she gave him the ultimatum, where this time he admits his doubts to himself, saying she is "pretty hot."
	+ Barney tells her she is more important than the suits and they will go first thing in the morning. As they fall into bed, he turns to his suits and whispers, "you guys are fine."
* **January 15**
	+ The Greendale Gazette is re-created by Dean Craig Pelton and Jeff Winger becomes its new editor-in-chief.
* **January 17**
	+ Ted and Marshall walk into a college bar, and Ted is worried about meeting his students there. Marshall returns to the bar on a regular basis to maintain his skeeball high score, under the pseudonym Big Fudge.
	+ Marshall then announces that they'll be meeting Jenkins, a co-worker, at the bar. He had told the gang a collection of hilarious stories about Jenkins, Ted imagining him as a fat funny-man. Barney then interjects with his desire to sleep with Jenkins, and Ted is surprised to find that Jenkins is a woman.
	+ Robin encounters fans of her pre-morning news show. When she met the boys at the college bar, one of Ted's students comes over to tell her that he's a big fan of her work.
* **January 18**
	+ The next day, Lily unexpectedly shows up for lunch with Marshall, and finds out that Jenkins is a woman. However, Lily is not at all jealous. Ted and Robin explain that it isn't Marshall's loyalty, but in every relationship, there is a "reacher" (a person who reaches for someone beyond their level of beauty), and a "settler" (a person who settles for someone below their level of beauty). Flabbergasted, Marshall forces Lily to classify herself as one or the other, and she, after much hesitation, says "settler."
	+ Full of pride, she interrupts Ted's class the next day to loudly announce that she is the host of the show. After she leaves, the class explains that they are fans because her show comes on as their night of drinking is coming to an end, and her interjection, "but...umm" is the basis for a drinking game (whenever Robin says this, the students take a drink).
	+ In an attempt to get Lily jealous, Marshall plans to show her how Jenkins flirts with him. While inviting Jenkins to go out again, this time with Lily, she kisses him. Marshall runs home and apologizes to Lily, who jokes that she's going to go punch Jenkins in the nose, when she obviously thinks he's just lying to make her jealous. Jenkins later apologizes, saying she was drunk from a late-night drinking game (see below), and plans to apologize to Lily, which Marshall knows will prove he is not just a "reacher."
* **January 19**
	+ Lily calmly listens to Jenkins' apology and promptly punches her in the nose, and continues beating her up, as Future Ted mentions that Marshall never tried to make Lily jealous again.
	+ Ted and Barney test this game the next night, watching Robin's show, and get thoroughly drunk. After Robin continues to brag about her wide viewership, Ted explains the drinking game. That night, his class invites him out to join their game. Robin gets her own back and decides to repeat the phrase "but...umm" excessively, prompting those playing the game to drink every time. In another bar, Jenkins is also playing the same drinking game and is still drunk the next morning when she kisses Marshall.
* **January 20**
	+ During the next day's class, Robin interrupts again, startling the hungover group with a megaphone.
* **January 24**
	+ Gray Nicholson starts the all-natural pet store Animal Ark.
* **January 27**
	+ Pepper Potts approaches Tony Stark as he tinkers with his Mark IV Iron Man armor to ask him how he is dealing with the fact that he has five simultaneous dates scheduled for the evening. He states that he wants to finish a piece for his armor first, and then will come up with a plan.
	+ Stark drives to the The Rearview garage to speak with a mechanic, and is greeted by a worker named Mike Charles. However, as they talk, an explosion goes off by Stark's car, followed by gunshots.
	+ Stark leads Charles to a truck he owns, explaining that mercenaries must have followed him to the garage. Charles drives and Stark calls Potts, telling her he needs the Iron Man armor, giving her an access code to type into J.A.R.V.I.S. so it will be ready. He then tells Charles that they will take the fastest route back to his mansion and starts giving directions. Charles is confused, saying he knows where the mansion is and that this is not the way, but Stark asks to trust him.
	+ Following Stark's instructions, Charles finds himself driving past a police parade. Stark explains that he used Charles' cell phone to look up events going on in the city and found out about it, choosing to pass so as to attract the authorities' attention. As they drive, he briefly leans out of the window to take a photo of the mercenaries' license plate.
	+ Stark continues to give instructions and chooses to pass by the apartment of two actresses, hoping they will see the commotion and that he will therefore have a good excuse for missing his date. Charles is bemused by Stark's motivation in the life-or-death situation.
	+ The pair finally drive to a bridge Stark has looked up on the phone to be opening soon. As it lifts, they drive the truck over it and jump the gap, landing on the other side and getting away from the mercenaries, who are unable to follow as the bridge is then too far open.
	+ Pepper Potts arrives and Stark says he needs to get back to Malibu.
	+ Stark picks up his Iron Man armor from his mansion and flies to find the mercenaries. He pulls the man inside, Jenkins, out of the vehicle.
	+ Iron Man flies back to Mike Charles and Pepper Potts with Jenkins in tow, to be arrested. Potts asks him if he has made a decision about his dates, and he says that he had to cancel them all. When Charles states that the women will be furious, Stark says that he is sure they will be - and tells him that that is why he gave them Charles' number, not his own, to Charles' horror.

	+ In the Western Ghats, India, Abby Rose prepares to drive for the Stark Industries racing team in a cross country rally. She is interviewed about the race and says she is confident that Royal Purple's gasoline will help her, as well as Tony Stark's shock absorbers. The interviewer asks her thoughts on whether the event should even be happening due to possible sabotage problems in earlier stages, but Rose says there is no proof of that. She admits, however, that her competition, Aiden Julius is a strong competitor, before getting in the car to start.
	+ Fifty miles from the start of the race, Iron Man discovers an illegal diamond mine. He spots a pickup truck arriving and believes they are carrying normal rifles. However, when he zooms in his vision, he realizes they are specifically trellor propellant rifles and spots a Ten Rings tattoo. They start to shoot, using diamond-tipped bullets to penetrate his armor. The Ten Rings then deploy an electromagnetic pulse, leaving him unable to fly away. Suddenly, Rose pulls up mid-race and opens the door to let him in. She drives to continue the rally and get away from the pursuing truck, while also contending with Aiden Julius.
	+ Iron Man asks Rose to slow briefly so he can warn Julius about what is happening. However, when he does so, they are shocked when Julius starts shooting at them. Rose realizes that the accidents in past races were an inside job, with Julius taking out the other cars to hide the illegal diamond mine.
	+ Rose continues to drive the race, confident she can win and that if they get to the end of the race, they will be safe as Julius cannot attack with witnesses. They lose the pickup truck, but Julius remains close behind. Meanwhile, Stark plugs his suit into the car to charge it as she drives.
	+ The cross country race continues and Rose drives fearlessly over and through obstacles. With 1 mile to go, the Iron Man armor is ready, and Stark leaves the car and blasts Julius' vehicle. He takes the unconscious Julius from the car and tells her to finish the race as he flies back to deal with the terrorists. As he leaves, he tells her that they should meet for an evening meal.
