He finds Superman's costume in a cardboard box and tries it on. A security trooper sees Konrad on the monitor and attempts to kill him with his vaporizer but the Kryptonian fabric of the costume protects him. When he leaves the library, Konrad causes a sensation as he encourages the people, who believe him to be the real Superman who had returned in accordance with the legends, to resist. The troopers eventually realize that Konrad can be killed if they fire their vaporizers at his exposed head and hands. Although he is reduced to dust, the people are inspired to stand up against their oppressors. When democracy returned to the American Republic years later, the Metropolis Christmas Rebellion of 2491 came to be regarded as the beginning of the Second American Revolution. (DC Comics)( There has been by this point a long line of Supermen as Clark Kent was succeeded by his sons. The original Superman is currently residing in the sun as a mix of All Star Superman and DC One Million, Superman II: Joel Kent was crippled by Doomsday in 1992 and forced to retire. Konrad Glumm found the suit of Samuel Kent, who was killed sometime between 2425 and 2525 when Lex Luthor's still living brain blanketed the Earth in Kryptonite. The Suit had some protective materials to it but did not protect the head or hands due to Samuel Kent's natural invincibility).

The lost 20th-century spacecraft *Ranger 3* is discovered drifting in interplanetary space ... along with a frozen, well-preserved payload, Astronaut William "Buck" Rogers, frozen in 1987. It is discovered by the Draconians, who are planning to covertly weaken and invade Earth. They arrange for him to make contact with Earth and he is briefed on the time period he has awoken in. Rogers soon after exposes the Draconian plot and begins to combat their schemes to take Earth (*Buck Rogers in the 25th Century*)(There are several version of Buck Rogers to consider, the first is Anthony Rogers from the original 1928 story *Armageddon 2419.* He was frozen and woke up in 2419 in a world where the Soviet Union took over and was then defeated by China, which has become the main world power. This is set on Earth 30 where the Soviet Union won the Cold War. That story was turned into a strip where unlike in the original story, the US still exists. This is closer to the Main Earth where Anthony Rogers joins the Federation and goes on adventures in Space after adjusting to this new time. William "Buck" Rogers is from the 1979 Television Series. He is related to Steve Rogers. The Rogers family possesses a metahuman gene that causes them to enter a type of hibernation when they are in intense danger which can last for centuries. William Rogers is reluctant to work with the Alliance here as he sees they are basically fascists, but he quickly becomes too famous to kill and a great propaganda tool, as well as the threat of the Draconians, means they are forced to work together).

Damian Wayne took over in the 2020's and resembles the Robert Pattinson Batman. Tim Drake took the role briefly and used the Batman Beyond suit. Terry McGinnis took the suit in Batman Beyond in 2039. Milt Cohen acted as an unofficial Batman in 2045 which resided in the Statue of Liberty and was an ally of Jonah Hex in his future set *Hex* series. Bryce Gawain, War-Bat, and Robert Kane are all from the Post Apocalyptic set stories "Legends of the Dead Earth" with Bryce Gawain being known as Batking, another version of Batman from those stories. The Bruce Wayne Clone is from the Post Apocalyptic story Batman: Last Knight on Earth and in that story fights the original now corrupted Batman and helps humanity to rebuild. You either die a hero or you live long enough yo see yourself become the villain. Batman did both).

New Troy (New York) State elects a supervillain governor, who relocates most of the world's major monuments to a New Troy(New York) beach, which is renamed "Monument Beach" (*Futurama*). These monuments include the White House, The Sphinx, Big Ben, Lard Lad Donuts(Replaces Randy's Donuts), some of the Easter Island heads from Olifa, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and Mount Rushmore, in which the supervillain carved his own head alongside the others(Given that even in Futurama we see the monuments appear to still be where they are geographically. We can assume that by the year 3000, the monuments either had replicas placed at their original location or the monuments were returned and replicas left at monument beach).

At one point, Kortan conquered the world. Following a routine raid, Quentin MacLeod, descended from Connor, revives as an immortal and takes up Connor's sword to depose Kortan, eventually succeeding (*Highlander: The Animated Series*)

A civil war amongst the colonies of Earth begins, lasting about a century (*Legend of the Galactic Heroes*).

### **2709**

The Federation of Planets first encounters the indigenous population of the planet Caldorre (*Sentinel Worlds I: Future Magic*).

### **2720**

By this time, the city of Galaxity on Earth is the center of the Terran Galactic Empire. The spatio-temporal agent Valerian and his companion Laureline protect Galaxity from threats across time and space (*Valérian*)(In this context, the Terran Galactic Empire likely occupied the Earth in 2705 and held onto it. The Federation still exists as a separate entity evidently).

First contact between the X-Universe races and the Teladi. Despite diplomatic efforts by the Argon/Boron Foundation Guild, the Teladi begin trading with the Paranid/Split Profit Guild. The Argon and Boron are naturally suspicious of this, but the Teladi reasoning is simply that they don't wish to switch currencies to the Argon Mark, preferring the Teladi Buckzoid (*X-Universe*).

Caldorre and Norjaenn join the Federation of Planets as fully represented members (*Sentinel Worlds I: Future Magic*).

### **2733**

The Teladi Space Company officially joins the Profit Guild (*X-Universe*).

The interstellar colonisation ship Dandelion arrives at Proxima Centauri (UC 0653) (*Mobile Suit Victory Gundam Side Story*).

A group of scientists create an army of colossal, biomechanical radiological weapons platforms known as the God Warriors and unleash them on the world to wipe out all industrialized countries in a last, desperate bid to prevent the complete extinction of all life on Earth due to pollution and Global Warming. As they and the organic components of the God Warriors succumb to radiation sickness, the scientists leave behind recordings of their personalities on a Master Computer in order to direct their other bioengineered creations as they sequester the fallout and other pollutants and return the ecosystem to its natural state (*Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind*)(In this case those scientists are members of the Terran Galactic Empire).

**January 2:** Two mutually hostile factions of Earth's government go to war, resulting in the Great Burn (*Babylon 5*)(In the source material this was between the Earth Alliance and a splinter of it call the Politidivision. Here those factions are part of the factions mentioned in Legend of Galactic Heroes made up of colonies).

### **2764**

The Replicants cleansing the world of White Chlorination Syndrome and the remaining Legion unexpectedly develop sentience. Over the coming centuries they build their own civilizations on the ruins of their Gestalts'. Their android supervisors continue to keep them on task, even though the Replicants are unaware of their true history (*NieR*)(a bit easier to fit in due to how devastated the world is from the Great Burn and the God Warrior).

### **2773**

The colony ship Marathon arrives at Tau Ceti. (*Marathon*)

A major nuclear accident on the Argon pleasure station *Ferryman* destroys the station, killing several thousand Argons. The resulting radiation makes the hulk off-limits for 30 years. The Community of Planets enacts the Energy Accord, banning large scale nuclear power plants (with exceptions for backup power supplies and starship powerplants). The majority of the energy used in space now comes from reusable energy cells charged with solar plants. Such plants become big business. (*X-Universe*)

### **2780**

World War VI is fought on Earth. The end of the war is followed by centuries of peace. (DC Comics)(World War I and II are still the same but what has been referred to as a World War has changed. The Star Trek Original Series era considered the Eugenics Wars a World War but that changed to refer to a Mid 21st century conflict. It's possible it shifted back to refer to the Eugenics Wars as one. It's likely the war in question is the civil war amongst the colones of Earth from *Legend of the Galactic Heroes,* set to last from 2708 to 2808.

## **2801-2900 C.E.**

In exchange for the Quantum II Hyperdrive, Louis Wu, Teela Brown and Speaker-To-Animals begin their journey to the Ringworld in a Puppeteer ship, the *Lying Bastard* (*Known Space*)(The Ringworld is formerly the world of Halo in this universe).

The French spaceship carrying astronauts Antelle, Levain, and Ulysse lands on an Earth-like planet in orbit around Betelgeuse. They name it Soror ("Sister"). They discover that the planet has indigenous species of humans, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans. Only the humans are primitives, while the others have formed an advanced civilization. Ulysse finds his mate in Nova, a primitive woman. They soon have a son: Sirius. However the threat of a sentient species of human causes hostility. Ulysse, Nova and Sirius leave the planet aboard the spaceship, heading back to Earth. Antelle had lost his sanity, Levain his life. (*Planet of the Apes*)(yes, the original book had not only no twist but was also...French! Honestly though I leave it up to interpretation what planet this is since there are so many races that are basically just Humans in appearance with enough time passing they could have been wiped out and Apes took their place).

I consider the solar flare hitting to be sometime around 2800, otherwise it would nullify the ending of WALLE).

Foundation of Stellar Union and Coordination Service (*The Psychotechnic League*).

## **2901-3000 C.E.**

### **2901**

Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth gives an A-minus grade to his student Ogden Wernstrom. Wernstrom had answered correctly all the questions in a test. His slightly lower grade was due to poor penmanship. Wernstrom swears vengeance on his teacher, pursuing that goal for the following century. Both rivals would go on to have complex relationships with Carol "Mom" Miller (*Futurama*).

### **2905**

A jumpdrive-equipped Xenon ship blunders into the Sol System. The Terrans' United Space Command captures it, and the Earth government agrees to allow the USC to try reverse-engineering its jumpdrive(In the source material this was the first attempt by Earth at such aninterstellar travel in nearly eight centuries). After many attempts through negotiation with the Community of Planets to have price controls and tariffs relaxed, Argon trader Moo-Kye founds the Yaki\* from the Argon word "yakuza", and they begin to build a secret smuggling empire in deep space between Split and Teladi territory (*X-Universe*).

### **2912**

**April 10:** The Land Titanic is launched from New Metropolis(New New York City)(*Futurama*)

**April 14:** The Land Titanic strikes a mailbox and sinks into the New Metropolis(New New York City) sewers (*Futurama*).

USC Major Kyle William Brennan takes command of the Terran jumpship prototype, the Xperimental Shuttle. During the jump test, the jumpdrive locks onto the X-Universe gate system and goes haywire, stranding him in Teladi space. He soon aligns himself with the Argon and helps them to destroy a planet-killer developed by the Xenon. This war becomes known as the Second Xenon Conflict. The Old Ones send the Community of Planets a message through the Sohnen telling them not to entirely destroy the Xenon. They then rearrange the gate system (*X: Beyond the Frontier*).

### **2927**

**October 17, 1:54pm:** Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth begins work on the first successful robot to be big and sporty, though is unable to make it low-emission.

### **2931**

May 13: Hubert Farnsworth and Carol "Mom" Miller break up when he disapproves of her plan to turn his cute toy into a death machine (*Futurama*).

### **2934**

Julian Gardna, the son of Kyle Brennan by an Argon woman, starts working at Terracorp. The Kha'ak, a race from completely outside the X-Universe gate system apparently possessing point-to-point jumpdrive technology, begin attacking the Community of Planets. Soon a Kha'ak planet killer arrives and destroys the Argon sector President's End, including one of its gates. They then attack Omicron Lyrae. Terracorp joins the fight against the Kha'ak, and Julian Gardna's wingman rams the Kha'ak planet killer, destroying it and granting victory to the Argon (*X2: The Threat*).

### **2935**

The Kha'ak war continues with the Argon military suffering heavy losses. Julian Gardna is contacted by the Argon Secret Service and asked to train new pilots. Gardna stumbles on a series of clues that lead to the secrets of jumpgate construction. Meanwhile the Paranid have been contacted by the Sohnen and asked to build a jumpgate in the sector Heretic's End. Upon completion the gate locks onto an unknown system. The Kha'ak arrive in Heretic's End to destroy the gate, but an enormous Terran warfleet streams out of the gate and flattens them. Earth has been reunited with the X-Universe (*X3: Reunion*).

Rosalyn "Roz" Forrester is born (*Doctor Who New Adventures*).

### **2938**

Over the past three years the Terrans have been making diplomatic forays, but despite their superior military technologies remain cautious almost to the point of xenophobia. They are suspicious of the Argon in particular, that they may be reverse-engineering the Xenon trying to create tame artificial general intelligence. For their part the Community of Planets fears the United Space Command's military strength and advanced technologies. The tensions eventually result in a cold war known as the Terran Conflict. Using special jump beacons, a small force of Xenon fighters enters the Sol System and is destroyed by the United Space Command. During the battle, a drone steals information from a Terran station and delivers it to an Argon ship near Pluto, which escapes with a jumpdrive. An unnamed USC pilot is tasked to investigate, leading to the rediscovery of the Terrans' long-lost Aldrin colony. Later that year, among other things the USC pilot helps the privately funded space force Operation Final Fury to destroy the last Kha'ak hive in Commonwealth space, aids the Goner in the construction of the Temple in Elysium of Light, and discovers the Hub, an ancient structure capable of inserting itself between up to three pairs of jumpgates. (*X3: Terran Conflict*)

### **2942**

The Terrans refuse to join the Community of Planets and deploy a network of spies into the Argon Federation. This network is eventually discovered, and relations between the human powers sour further. (*X-Universe*)

### **2944**

Under their anti-AGI legislation, the Terrans deploy a fleet to the Argon border. Knowing they cannot defeat the Terrans in a direct confrontation, the Argon begin developing artificially intelligent warships to counter the Terrans' edge in starship technology. Argon undercover operatives Saya Kho and Sherman Hiatu infiltrate the Sol System. (*X-Universe*)

### 2946

The Terran Conflict goes hot, becoming the Second Terraformer War when Argon AGI ships arrive in the Sol System and attack its planets (*X-Universe*).

### **2947**

The Ancients begin shutting down parts of the jumpgate system to try and corral the Xenon (*X-Universe*).

### **2948**

Saya Kho detonates a nuclear bomb on the Torus Aeternal, a massive station ringing Earth's equator that serves as a shipyard, docking ring, and orbital defense station. The bomb breaks the Torus, killing thousands of Terran civilians and military personnel instantly and causing millions of tons of debris to rain down on Earth. The Terrans launch an all-out assault on the Community of Planets. The Paranid Empire is so horrified by the actions of the Argon that it sides with the Terrans. The Terrans' Aldrin colony sides with the Argon over the Terrans' AGI paranoia, since the Aldrinites rely on tame terraformers to keep their society running. Due in part to the chokepoints created by the jumpgate system, the war stays deadlocked at the Argon/Terran border for over a year, with the various mega corps vying for power in the background. (*X3: Albion Prelude*)

### **2950s**

With military patrol forces diverted to the war, the Xenon surge into the X-Universe, rapidly taking over multiple sectors. The Ancients collectively say "fuck it" and shut down the X-Universe loop of the gate network as a firebreak. It stays that way for over a thousand years. (*X-Universe*)
