* **February 14th:** Aldrich Killian finds candidates for his Extremis program, including Ellen Brandt, Chad Davis, Eric Savin, and Jack Taggart, all of whom were in the United States Army and suffered serious injuries.
* **February 19th:** The Extremis candidates are given the virus. Some of them do not survive, and their bodies explode. The successful subjects heal from their injuries and regrow lost limbs.

### May

* **May 6th:** Eva Belyakov, a member of the Inhuman community in Afterlife, goes rogue after Jiaying refuses to allow Belyakov's unstable daughter, Katya, to go through Terrigenesis. She takes with her an assortment of stolen Terrigen Crystals, which she uses to transform Katya without the proper mental conditioning. Katya develops sensory manipulating powers and a hunger for pain. The mother-daughter duo travel to Bahrain, where they create chaos by using Katya's powers to sap the emotional energies from local civilians.

### June

* **June 7th:** Thunderbolt Ross loses track of Bruce Banner, who eventually arrives in eastern Nunavut near Greenland. Bruce had come to the Arctic Circle deliberately in order to commit suicide in a place where his body would not be found. Once he had become thoroughly hopeless and lost in the cold, Bruce attempted to shoot himself through the mouth. The bullet penetrates, but does not prevent Bruce from transforming into the Hulk, who promptly heals from the trauma and spits out the bullet before going on a rampage in the wilderness. Bruce wakes up afterwards completely fine, rendering the suicide attempt a failure.
