Toonverse History

This is a sub-page for the Toonverse in the Toon Wars Timeline.

## Distant Past

Long before the Toon Wars and the Nicktoons/CN Multiverse, there was Pibby. Like in another familiar timeline (the one we're seeing up on Adult Swim), she was the main character of her own children's show aimed mostly for pre-schoolers, when one day, a mysterious entity of sorts began to spread throughout her world, consuming it and her friends before moving onto the rest of the early universe. With barely a few survivors from other worlds at her side, she was forced to adapt and become the hero they desperately needed. Amid the outbreak, a powerful weapon forged to fight this great evil by the ancient gods was mastered by Pibby, using it to quickly erase the virus from every infected world except for her own. She and her partners traveled back to her cartoon to confront the source of the spread, giving their lives to destroy it in a cosmic battle that resulted in the known universe being split in two, creating the original Multiverse.

Although reality was saved, remnants of the virus' master code had been ejected during the final battle into both Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, creating the entities that would become Aku (CN) and The Mawgu (Nick). The ancient ones who forged Pibby's blade would confront Aku in his original form before he landed on Earth, while The Mawgu would land in the core of Volcano Island; both entities becoming sentient once their magic capabilities had taken shape. Because of the split of the universe, this also created The Void at the heart of the new Multiverse, not only bridging the gap between the Fourth Wall and reality, but serving as the pseudo trashbin of reality.

## Nicktoons, CN, and Pre-Toon Wars (Early 2000's to 2017)

   The classic Nicktoons join forces after Professor Calamitous allied with other villains, sparking many crossovers with each other.

* **The Ultimate Enemy** - Danny Phantom is almost assassinated by ghosts from the future when he learns he will become a mad, powerful supervillain destroying all in his path. He is met by Clockwork, who initially tests the teen by sending these ghosts after him and taking him to his lair where Danny ends up jumping into one of his time portals. While visiting the future, Danny discovers how Dan was created after an accident caused the loss of his friends and family. Wanting to end his pain as Danny Phantom, Vlad felt his sympathies and offered to comply with the operation by splitting the power from Danny's body. However, it instead made the ghost half into a being of itself, merging with Vlad's and becoming the madman the future knows him to be. With observation from the time keeper, Clockwork, Danny traps Dan in his Fenton Thermos and prevents the dark future. However, Dan still remains outside of time stuck in the thermos, slowly but surely building in power.
* **Attack of the Toybots (2007)** - After making contracts with Enterra Drive Yards, the intergalactic shipbuilders of the Yokians and other alien races, Professor Calamitous begins to take over entire worlds in the universe with an army of toy-themed robots powered by energies from each one.

* **Nicktoons Wrath** - One day, Timmy wished for an evil clone of himself to change things up from his usual enemies only or the clone to reveal to Chester and AJ that Fairies exists and went out to set an ancient entity free from Volcano Island. While Timmy could still share his fairies with his friends, the Leviathan captured them along with Spongebob, Jimmy, and Danny to corrupt them and infect the universe with the island's ooze. Thanks to their efforts, they were able to stop it and learn that Levi was betrayed by the ancients, so Timmy wished for a partner for Levi to be with in her travels through deep space. However, the other Nicktoons vowed not to let him in on their next adventure as a precaution from his terrible wishes.
* **Phantom Planet (2007)** - Now having almost nothing to lose, Vlad Plasmius exposes his identity to the world and opts to buy out the Earth and inadvertently the Ghost Zone by holding both worlds hostage against the ever looming Disasteroid.

Danny and his friends and family are then recognized for their heroic actions throughout the series and are deemed everyone's protectors.
* **Escape from Cluster Prime** - Queen Vexus attempts a full-on assault on the planet Earth when the android, Jenny Wakeman, travels to Cluster Prime. She sets its populace free from its leader's tyranny, and puts an end to Vexus' rule, stopping the Cluster invasion.

### 10 Year Gap

   After the Nicktoons Unite Series, the Nicktoons go on their separate ways, discovering new worlds and secrets about the universe.

* **Enter the Florpus** - Zim attempts to take over the world with an elaborate plan to transport it directly to the Irken Armada. However, he is thwarted when he and Dib learn that the galactic wormhole, Florpus, was on the path of the fleet. With help from Dib's father, Professor Membrane, they bring the Earth back to the Milky Way Galaxy.
* **Sponge out of Water** - After hundreds of failed attempts at obtaining the Krabby Patty formula, and taking over Bikini Bottom, Plankton makes a desperate launch to attack the restaurant.

* **The Void (Episode)** - In the Cartoon Network Universe neighboring Nickelodeon, the young cat boy, Gumball Watterson, discovers the tear in reality known as the Void. He learns it's where all the mistakes or forgotten assets of Elmore are sent, and witnesses several fourth wall-breaking abilities of its own.
* **The Rival** - When forgotten by everyone and being distorted from the Void, Rob decides to take on the villainous persona of Dr. Wrecker, and becomes Gumball and Darwin's arch enemy.
* **The Fury** - Sometime later, the mother of Gumball, Nicole Watterson, is met by her old friend and rival, Yuki Yoshida, who challenges her to one-on-one combat for revenge for her disgraceful defeat in the tournament from their youth. They fought long and hard, but with such skill and enginuity, and support from her children, Nicole overcomes Yuki and the two happily reconcile.
* **Samurai Jack (Series)** - Elsewhere in the universe, a samurai warrior called Jack takes up the mantle of warrior for his people to save his world from the wrath of the ancient shapeshifting demon, Aku. Aku sends Jack into a distant future under his tyranny. But thanks to help from allies of the future, Jack eventually returns to the past and undoes all of Aku's madness. His victory is shortlived, however, when he realizes that all he had met in while in Aku's history would never come to be in his lifetime.
* **Wrath of the Phantom** - Years following the Ultimate Enemy, Dan Phantom gathers enough energy to break himself out of the Fenton Thermos trapping him outside of time, and kills the Observants and put a critical wound on Clockwork. He uses the knowledge of the cosmic device, the Dimensional Monitor, to give him a supreme level of power never seen before. Fortunately, with both the Ghost Zone and his friends and family by his side, Danny and a team of select heroes shoot the Monitor into deep space and delete Dan. Not long after, the device lands in the hands of Jimmy Neutron, allowing him to unlock the map to the multiverse and discover unseen worlds in the Nicktoons Universe.
* **The Fourth Wall (Episode)** - The Teen Titans of *Teen Titans GO* address the real world through the machinations of Control Freak, fighting to keep their series on air despite the criticism and hatred towards it.
* **Quest For Knowledge** - In the medieval land of Lyvsheria, the two excitable warriors Vambre and Prohyas (Warriors for Hire) set out on different quests to collect various magic-based swords called Magiswords. They are led into a frenzy when their old professor, Jeremy Cyrus, tells they and his other students about the Legendary Knowledge Magisword. They reluctantly work together to find it and the Warriors claim it for themselves.
* **Magiswords Fusion Wars** - Immediately after their treasure hunt, the two inadvertently lead one of their enemies to steal the sword from their home and accidentally unleash the alien warlord known solely as Fusion. She attacks Rhyboflaven, forcing the Warriors to team up with their friends again to merge together to form Centurion using the Combiner Magisword. Following Fusion's defeat, Centurion goes to outer space to put an end to her evil mastermind at their mothership before they could use their World Cannon to destroy the land.
* **CN Crossover Nexus** - A well-armed supervillain named Strike forcibly gathers a plethora of select characters from across the Cartoon Network Universe to freeze them for sport at the ruined CN City. He is defeated when K.O., Ben Tennyson, Garnet, and Raven (GO) team up to restore the city and unfreeze the victims. However, unknown to them, the evil Syndicate of the Nicktoons Universe (with the exception of Plankton) arrive at the city to manipulate those still present to go against each other. While all this is happening, a clone of Black Hat, a yet to be fully recognized supervillain from his own cartoon, Villainous, gathers enough information about the coming conflict to retain his self awareness and remain in stasis until the war could end in hopes of taking over once all forces had been eliminated.

## Toon Wars Era (2018-2022)

    After 10 years of planning and waiting, the Syndicate wage war on the multiverse and successfully manipulate entire worlds through then unknown means into attacking one another.

* **Nicktoons Saga** - The Nicktoons, excluding Spongebob, ally with each other once again to stop this ever looming threat from escalating. But sadly, despite their best efforts, the Syndicate's first full-scale invasion was but a ruse to distract the heroes from continuing to grow their new Toybot and Morphoid army. With Fairy World, Tak, and many others gone, Jimmy Neutron proposes the idea of an indefinite teamup as the heroic Toon Force.
* **Gumball Saga** - On their first mission in the CN Universe, they encounter Gumball, who's home's civilians were taken hostage at Volcano Island by the Syndicate's army. He along with his mother Nicole, Yuki, and Penny ally with them to save Elmore. However, after freeing the people, they learn that this was a distraction to keep them from interrupting Vlad from opening the Rip Zipper, freeing the Mawgu from his prison. He proceeds to use the added power of the Morphoids to completely decimate Dimmsdale and almost annihilates Amity Park. But thanks to Gumball's quick timing, he activates the island's defense cannon and kills the Mawgu. On the downside, he and the others with him are unable to return home as the coordinates had been lost, and the Syndicate escaped still with a new phase in motion.
* **Samurai Jack Saga** - Their next step involved warning Aku from the past of *Samurai Jack* the series to create an entirely new timeline ruled by the four of them. Because of this, Jack reunites with Ashi and meets his old friends in the Syndicate Timeline with help from Jimmy, Danny, Zim, and Tucker. Meanwhile, at the proper timeline, the Syndicate leave behind a devastating assault from other cartoons on Jump City of Teen Titans GO and Retroville that cripples the Toon Force on both fronts. After receiving a new ally in the form of the young Hali and the snobby adult version of Anais Watterson, the heroes trapped in the Syndicate Timeline successfully defeat the Syndicate and Aku, gather new members, and return to their version of events. From his time with Jack and Gumball, Jimmy sees ahead and initiates the new expansion project which makes the Toon Force into a full multiversal organization, teaming up with more Cartoon Network shows.
* **5-Year Gap** - For a total of 5 long years, the Toon Force battled against the remaining forces of the Syndicate and ventured into more political matters concerning the future and associating themselves with previously unexplored cartoons from both universes.
	+ **Magiswords Echoes** - When the mysterious Echo corp led by DeBizz abducts Vambre Warrior and Princess Zange, the Toon Force engage in a lengthy battle known as The Siege of Rhyboflaven. In the midst of the fight, the pirate mage, Professor MaBarnacle, reunites with her long lost family, learning that Bimm, Familiar, and Plunderbite are all biologically connected. Jimmy Neutron and co take back the stolen schematics used to create the Echo Androids and work to restore the ruined Rhyboflaven with their technologies.
	+ **How to train your Hero (Short)** - Near the end of the war, Hali and her dragon Firefly discover a new Dimensional Monitor that restores the coordinates to previously lost worlds.
	+ Siege of Enterra - The last major battle of the war took place at Enterra Drive Yards; the main shipping facility for the Syndicate war machine, which took them hostage for the purpose of using their factories as enemy bases. With the Toon Force's help, Enterra were able to put an end to the production facilities and force the Syndicate into hiding until they eventually wound up surrendering to the heroes
* **Toon Wars: The Final Days** - Following the war's end, the Toon Force briefly retire for a period of 2 weeks, but are put back on the front-lines when a godly being and his reality-bending virus steadily begin to corrupt and delete the multiverse. They turn almost every allied world against the surviving members of the Toon Force and nearly put the cosmos into extinction. While Dr. Wakeman and Professor Utonium work on an Antivirus to erase the virus from within, T.K.O finds himself completely in control of K.O. after his good half was deleted by the Toon God, the mastermind behind the virus. He reluctantly allies with Dendy and Fink, the last known survivors of the initial invasion. However, in their efforts to escape, Dendy turns out to have been corrupted by the virus too, luring the pair into a series of traps in the Boxmore Facility. With advice from Professor Venomous before his death, Fink finds the backup generator to the Boxmore portal in his office to flee the complex with Turbo after successfully routing out Dendy. Before they can leave, however, the virus corrupts the still intact body of Venomous to turn him into Shadowy Lazerblast, battling through the remains of the facility before they're completely overwhelmed. From the experience, Turbo and Fink finally let go of their anger, unlocking Absolute Power to purge the virus from Venomous, allowing them to escape with him before his demise. Clockwork then takes the two to an artificial timeline where they can hone in on their new powers in preparation for the final battle against the Toon God. Meanwhile, the Toon Force are reunited with Spongebob Squarepants, who follows the rest of the team to the core of the virus located in the ruins of Dimsdale after the Mawgu's attack. Jimmy Neutron with a small group of other heroes, on the other hand, is teleported to the distant Forgotten Society led by Doug Funnie, and learns the truth that the Toon Wars had begun after the Syndicate anomaly broke the Fourth Wall and used their knowledge to manipulate others. When the corrupted form of Nicole Watterson, the Toon Goddess, invades the city, she tells them that the area was actually that of a long-term trap set up by the still-active Mawgu to effectively kill everyone in one place. Once the Toon Goddess is separated and slain by the Antivirus-powered Bimm and Hali, reality is reset to a period long before the war began. However, through several hints and manipulation, the survivors recover their memories with the help of Turbo and Fink, and confront the main villain behind the virus, self titled the Toon God. He reveals himself to be Doug's villainous persona fully corrupted and in control of reality after much conflict left his world devastated in the war. He engages them in a long, epic battle that warps and shatters reality until Bimm with the help of the other heroes and the sacrifice of Spongebob erase the virus at its core and purge the Toon God. Using the Fourth Wall controls, Jimmy successfully restores the multiverse and brings peace to all.

### 2 Year Gap

* **She-Ra and the Princesses of Power** - Unknown to the Toon Force at the time of the Toon God's final battle, The Horde, an opposing force plotting to take over Etheria in the Netflix Omniverse, successfully finds the means of using portal technology to summon the Horde Fleet led by Horde Prime. Hordak's initial efforts prove unsuccessful as his portal malfunctions and causes a reality distortion due to the meddling of his force captain turned second-in-command, Catra, in hopes of crushing the Rebellion (the Princess Alliance to save Etheria). Catra's old friend, Adora, who became the princess of power named She-Ra, attempts to close the ensuing portal while being pursued by her former ally, corrupted by the storm. Having finally had enough of her abuse (also likely gathered from Catra's obsessiveness towards her for years), Adora knocks out Catra, leading to her apparent demise before reality could be restored by Queen Angella at the cost of her own life. Catra was also brought back thanks to the fix, but her corrupted self during the storm had actually survived, being thrown into the Nick/CN multiverse when Bimm completely dismantled reality with her blow to the Toon God. Thanks to their cartoon's self awareness being retained from their pilot-status and material posted during the war, Black Hat's henchmen were able to wander the destroyed multiverse, eventually stumbling upon Catra's disfigured body.
* **OK K.O. Let's Be Heroes Finale** - Thanks to the reality fix administered by Jimmy, OK KO was able to return to its intended events while Turbo and Shadowy Fink continue to live in the newly constructed Toon City. Before the later episodes could take place, Shadowy Figure, the dark side of Professor Venomous, is contacted by Black Hat, having finally awoken from his 5-year stasis period. He commissions him to gather Glorbs for his reconstruction of Catra, who has yet to be seen in the Toonverse. As an alternative to continue to pump out Glorbs, Shadowy invents a machine that, when installed in its own station, could create artificial ones with the same level of power. Eventually, after numerous transformations into Shadowy, Venomous is completely taken over by his monstrous self, also summoning the mad version of K.O., who he reveals to be his son born after his apparent demise as Laserblast. With T.K.O. in control, both heroes and villains are forced to team up to take down him and Shadowy, who are both set free from their turbo halves. Though T.K.O. ultimately reconciles with K.O. to finally merge with him as the perfect hero. Since Shadowy Figure is dead, Black Hat quickly seizes control of his secret criminal enterprise built during the course of the show and the Toon Wars.
* **Birth of Cyber Catra -** Thanks to the acquisition of Shadowy's resources, Black Hat was able to expand his reach in secret across the Toonverse, bringing other evildoers into the fray. In their efforts to rebuild Catra, the Villainous crew begin harboring discarded war material sold off the black market. Meanwhile, finding inspiration from the Syndicate's machinations, Black Hat and Catra start modeling their Zero Heroes Plan, which follows an elaborate series of different initiatives made in conjunction with one another should either of them fail. Knowing their numbers weren't enough, Catra proposes they use the discarded Commando Drones pumped out during Magiswords Echoes. To do this, they hire notorious bounty hunter, Tanya Keys, to gather a number of drones for them. Tanya also discovers prototype schematics for the Syndicate's Syndicannon, which would've been able to destroy entire cities during the war. To act as a mobile fortress for Catra's Horde Syndicate (as she would later name it) Black Hat's enterprise construct a massive dreadnought made out of huge parts from Yokian and Toyco vessels, capable of warping around the universe. Soon after extensive repairs and testing on her new form, Cyber Catra is able to roam and enact her plan with Black Hat.

## Legacy Era (2024-2039)

2 years following the Final Days, the new Toonverse remains at peace, introducing new cartoons to both CN and Nickelodeon and expanding to other universes.

* Crossover Forces - When members of the Toon Force embarked on an expedition to unknown space, the Toonverse was threatened by a new villain organization, the Horde Syndicate. They were comprised of Orangusnake, his henchmen, several hundreds of salvaged Echo Commandos, HueHue, and their leader, Cyber Catra. Cyber Catra in particular was member of the Netflix omniverse, having been duplicated in a freak reality incident she caused at the end of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power's third season. The villains plotted to send their fleet of modified Battloons to subjugate the universe and Etheria, threatening immediate action should the Toon Force intervene. Luckily, with the arrival of Blue Hat from an alternate timeline, he gathered enough heroes of the newer generation Cartoon Network shows to form a new team. Together, they sabotaged the plans of the Horde Syndicate by liberating their worlds and confronting their leader. However, this was all secretly a ruse set by Black Hat, who was in disguise as Blue Hat to gain the trust of the Toonverse enough that he could access the Fourth Wall controls. Doing so gave he and Catra ultimate power over the Toonverse, forming an empire in a few days. Fortunately, those who were saved by the new heroes banded together to fight back. With Mao Mao's leadership, they put an end to the Horde Empire, defeated Black Hat and his henchmen, reset Catra to an earlier point in her life into a toddler, and restored the Toonverse in time for the crew of the original Toon Force to return.
* The Watterson - After completing his training with Nicole Watterson, Gumball returns to Elmore but struggles with the fear of involving his city with the rest of the Toonverse. When he learns that Darwin already knew of the events of The Final Days and the Toon Wars, Gumball is abducted by the Spectra Corp clones of Nicole who sought to exterminate all abnormalities of the world. With the aid of their friends and new ally, Walton, Gumball and Darwin are able to escape the invaders and discover that the Rainbow Factory, Nicole's old job, was originally a subsidiary of Spectra Corp in Netherworld, Walton's home town. After visiting the place and extracting the files regarding the clones, with help from one of the duplicates, Nicole 39, the team make an infiltration on the hidden headquarters of Supreme Nicole, the leader of the clones. This is before the clones could bombard Elmore as per their plan to try and corrupt Gumball and Anais. However, Supreme Nicole changes her strategy and decides to release her monstrous horde of Richard clones. While Netherworld's citizens fend against the creatures, Gumball and Darwin confront Commander Nicole and Supreme Nicole separately, not only allying with the Nicole clones to fight back, but also learn that Nicole Watterson is actually one of the clones of the Supreme Leader. The original Nicole intends to unlock Gumball's dark side from his time in the Toon Wars to take her place and rule over the planet, only to accidentally kill herself from a slip and fall. Though she was able to briefly corrupt Gumball, he was finally able to let go of his trauma and guilt and overcame his dark side, putting an end to the Spectra Corp invasion. Following the attack, he and the many clones of Nicole and Richard move on and begin living new lives in and out of their world.
* Dark Disney - During The Watterson, Max was accidentally sent forward in a century to a dark future ruled by Disney, which transformed the Toonverse into the Disneyverse. Though those from the Toonverse were long gone after a great disaster between it and Etheria, The Underground, led by Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, gathered any remaining cartoons, games, comics, etc to overthrow Mickey Mouse's regime, which not only led to the death of millions but also led to billions being brainwashed by the Elysium Engine and locked down time and space. With Max's help, the Underground were able to sabotage the empire's efforts and eventually confronted Mickey directly in his castle. However, it turned out that Black Hat (or rather a copy of him) was the true mastermind behind the Disneyverse, having traveled to Disney many years ago to sell Villainous and get close to the Mouse to manipulate him. He sought the same level of power he had during Crossover Forces with the Fourth Wall controls and needed Max to unlock the Toonverse's lost technology for his own ends. Ultimately, his plan would come to a permanent end when Max discovered Bimm's corpse within Elysium which powered the engine, reanimating her to reset the timeline to the point where Black Hat was just getting ready to launch. With his death, the Disneyverse never came to be and the great disaster was prevented thanks to Max's intervention, forewarning the Toon Republic of its eventual fruition.
