Earth-399

Marvel Cinematic Universe, but they had all of their original titles available from day one (i.e. Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, X-Men, Hulk)

## Phase One: Dawn of the Superhero

### Fantastic Four

Act One:

Tony Stark lambasts the Baxter expedition, telling them the government should stop wasting money on space flight and instead spend more money on things like weaponry.

At his apartment, we see Victor approach a shrine in his apartment. He approaches, revealing that it is dedicated to his mother. He tells her visage that he may finally have found a way of saving her soul and bringing her back to him.

Act Two:

Ben Grimm is confronted by anti-mutant hysteria, culminating in his wife leaving him and kicking him out of their apartment.

Before Victor can drain Reed of all of his powers, Sue suddenly projects a force field to save him. Angered, Victor turns on his fiancee and decides he must drain her as well.

Ben and Johnny team up to stop Victor,

Johnny goes supernova, seemingly incinerating Victor to death to save his sister and Reed.

Themes: Found family, responsibility, making the most of your situation

* Postcredit one: nick fury???
* Postcredit two: Victor von Doom awakens back in Latveria, on a stone slab. Metal is grafted onto his burnt body. The camera zooms out to reveal his mask.

### X-Men

Magneto taunts Scott, encouraging him to take off his visor. However, when Magneto lifts the visor off of Scott using his powers, it blasts Magneto with Scott's optic blasts and knocks him back.

Themes: negative peace, activism, taking action

### Spider-Man

Postcredits:

* Postcredit one: Reed Richards tracks down Peter Parker to his apartment, and delivers him a suit.
* Postcredit two:

### The Hulk

Ross unleashes Weapon X on the Hulk? this is how Wolverine gets freed from their control?

Themes: Patriotism, what makes a good man

## Phase Two

### X2: Spawn of M

Themes: family, secrets we keep

rogue has joined the Brotherhood by now? maybe Nightcrawler too?

introduce Banshee and Siryn? idk. maybe that's too much?

hint at Legion?

Havok is there - maybe there's a conflict with

also, obviously, Polaris and the other two children of Magneto are there

### The Wolverine

starts back in WW2?could be a good way to introduce concepts like HYDRA and Cap and Madripoor

## Ideas

* first Spider-Man trilogy focuses on his relationship with Harry and Norman
	+ MJ is introduced as his childhood friend, and they don't become romantic until later?
	+ SM1 is Vulture???? or nah, someone else?
		- obviously Shocker should be there
		- Sandman? for the theme of responsibility?
		- maybe Electro? to parallel with Spider-Man: Electro uses his newfound powers for evil personal gain, while Spidey learns to use it for good
	+ SM2 is Lizard??? maybe Silver Sable?
	+ SM3 is Green Goblin
	+ we should probably build up to a Sinister Six movie at some point down the line, so...
		- Sandman? Beetle? Kraven? Scorpion?
* first big huge superhero event is like Galactus or something?
	+ maybe Inferno?
		- in Inferno, Norman Osborn (and maybe Harry?) can return from hell
* we should get Captain Marvel, Thor, Ant-Man in soon right?
* Doom solo film sees him begin learning magic, time travel, and taking over Latveria?
* Silver Surfer first appears in the Defenders or like The Defenders 2?
	+ Defenders lineup:
		- Hulk, Doctor Strange, Namor, maybe Valkyrie
		- maybe the first Defenders sees Doctor Doom contacting them about Mephisto? or Ghost Rider? idk. wouldn't that be too similar to the events of Inferno?
	+ later on Hellcat and Daimon Hellstrom join the team?
* Iron-Man starts out with the Hellfire Club, and his accident involves the Sentinels?
* Captain America
	+ gets a movie, Captain America: Man Out of Time, which sees him rehabilitate Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver?
* Avengers don't become a major thing until like... later? or they handle most of the political/alien events?
	+ The Defenders do more magical stuff
	+ Fantastic Four do mostly exploration
	+ Avengers handle more conventional terrorism and stuff????
