Jenny Quantum is born (*The Authority*).

The Thirteenth Doctor takes companions Graham, Ryan, and Yaz back in time to the Sydney Harbour Bridge to see New Year's 2000. Ryan later says that this is his favorite New Year's celebration (*Doctor Who*)(Due to the events of Y2K occurring in this Timeline, the reason why Ryan likes this particular New Year is due to the families and community coming together during the event).

As Homer Simpson neglected to make the computers at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant Y2K compliant, the Y2K bug causes worldwide destruction (*The Simpsons*)(Nowhere near as destructive as in the episode).

Because of San Dimas Time, Will Smith returns from 2222 just barely in time to ring in the new year. A malfunction in the time machine gets him stuck in black and white ("Will 2K" music video).

00:28: Bender Bending Rodríguez, under the control of spammers, travels back to this time from 3007 ahead of Fry, intending to kill him. He fails (*Futurama*).

00:29: Bender from further in the future travels back to this time and tattoos the time code on Fry's ass (*Futurama*).

00:30: Philip J. Fry time travels to this date and accidentally creates a duplicate of himself. While one Fry returns to the future, the duplicate stays in this era and resumes his life where he left off, not knowing he is being pursued by Bender (*Futurama*).

After a century of service, the immortal Captain Jack Harkness takes command of Torchwood Three. Everyone else kills each other from the pressure from the job. The last member to do so tells Jack "The 21st Century Jack. It's where everything changes, and we're not ready" before killing himself. Jack is left to rebuild the team into one that is ready(*Torchwood*).

The Eighth Doctor says goodbye to Chang Lee and Grace Holloway (*Doctor Who: The Movie*).

Philip J. Fry's mother watches Wisconsin beat Stanford 17-9 in the 2000 Rose Bowl. She remembers this due to it being the day Fry disappeared (*Futurama*).

Greg Cardiff is murdered in Philadelphia (*Cold Case*).

**January 4:** Kim Karlsen dies suddenly in Northern Arendelle(Norway). Almost all his friends gather for his funeral (Second sequel to *Beatles*).

**January 9:** SCP-939-A6 begins its metamorphosis (SCP Foundation).

**January 10:** SCP-939-A6's symptoms flare up again (SCP Foundation).

**January 15:** Wikipedia is launched (Real Life, Wikipedia).

**February 10:** Henry John Noone is born (*Big Finish Doctor Who*).

**March 3:** Boyd Gelder disappears. (*The 4400*)

**March 6:** At 6:02am, the entire planet is shrouded in unnatural darkness. The darkness blocks out the sun, and neither the stars nor the moon are visible. Many believe it to be the end of the world. Governments blame each other, thinking it to be the effect of some secret weapon. Riots, rapes, beatings, and murders are commonplace. Emergency call centers are flooded with reports of monsters roaming the streets and skies. Numerous people simply disappear. It is also during this darkness that thousands of people learn that they have become inhuman monsters. Many of them are killed before they know what has happened to them. Some are killed by mobs of terrified humans, others take their own lives. Those that survive learn that they could return to their human forms. These shapechanging beings are called the Nightbane, for it was at night that they become monsters (*Nightbane*).

**March 7:** A Kirijo Group experiment with Shadows from the Darkness goes awry, resulting in numerous researchers dying, various nearby bystanders suffering Apathy Syndrome, and the creation of the Dark Hour. Kouetsu Kirijo was attempting to fuse Shadows together to summon Nyx so she could destroy life, but Eiichiro Takeba sabotaged the experiment. Thirteen powerful Shadows of the Major Arcana escape; to prevent them from reuniting, the Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon Aigis seals the Death Shadow into a nearby newly-orphaned child (*Persona 3*).(This event prevents the Darkness on March 6 from becoming Permanent but reducing it to one hour between one day and the next during which most humans are unaware of it due to turning into coffins.

In an alternate timeline, the Kirijo Experiment never happens, as a result the Darkness continues. This is the world in which the Nightbane continue to exist(*Nightbane*).

**Spring:** Graduates of Raft College this year include Daria Morgendorffer (*Daria*)(This Episode replaces one of Daria graduating from High School due to the sliding timeline being removed).

Thanks to the Eighth Doctor, a young man named Gareth answers the second question on his midterm exam and passes it. Had he answered the third, he would have failed. (*Doctor Who*)

**April 9:** In a possible future, Congressman Peter Ross of Kansas, the frontrunner for his party's presidential nomination, is the victim of an assassination attempt while making a speech in Calvin City, Keystone(Pennsylvania). His campaign manager Samuel Kent shields him with his own body, inadvertently revealing to the world that he is Superman. The critically injured Congressman Ross drops out of the race and asks Superman to take his place. Although he is initially reluctant, Superman agrees and goes on to be elected U.S. President(*Armageddon 2001*)(In the source material this occurred with Superman. In then story continuity Superman was brought to Earth in a "Birthing Matrix" and so was technically born on Earth, justifying how he could become President ITTL, this is Superman's grandsom, Superman III, who was indeed born on Earth and in America, thus not making this an issue regarding his presidency).

**April 10:** Mitchell Hundred makes his debut as the Superhero, the Great Machine (*Ex Machina*).

**April 27:** Researchers from the secret installation in Greenland proceed to investigate an ancient Inuit tomb. The tomb turns out to contain the dormant "Tuurngait", a hive-mind entity which proceeds to assimilate the installation crew into itself, one by one(*Penumbra: Black Plague*).

**April:** The town of Grantville, West Virginia vanishes, replaced by empty German countryside (*1632*).

Shizuo Heiwajima, Izaya Orihara, Shinra Kishitani, and Kyohei Kadota attend high school at Raijin Academy. Izaya gathers followers (made up mostly of traumatized teenage girls). He stirs up a conflict between the high schools in the area, and Shizuo gains some fame as he finds himself in the center of it. Shizuo and Izaya meet for the first time and instantly hate each other (*Durarara!!*).

**November 7:** In Real Life, Al Gore concedes to George W. Bush and then retracts a few hours later as the election results in Florida become disputed (Real Life).

Democratic President Josiah Bartlet runs again, this time against Republican Alexander Luthor Jr. Bartlet chose Al Noah as his running mate, but an alien entity has possessed him(*SCP Foundation*). Luthor chose Texas Governor John Blutarsky as his running mate. Blutarsky actually passed away of a drug overdose in his home and the mind of an SCP Agent named Jack Bright was transferred into his body to run and hopefully prevent the ascension of the SCP controlled Al Noah to the Presidency. On election night, a time travelling Bending Unit destroys a large number of votes in Columbiana(*Futurama*). The Election is put on hold due to the election results becoming disputed in Columbiana.

On Earth 4, U.S. President Robert Redford is re-elected to a third term (*Watchmen (2019)*).

In an alternate timeline, Bartlet chose to step down. Al Noah( Al Gore) appears to be on the cusp of winning the election despite some problems in Columbiana(Florida)(*Chrononauts).*

In an alternate universe, despite a mixup in Columbiana(Florida) Lex Luthor Jr is set to become President of the United States (DC Comics)(He clashed with George Sears in the Republican primaries. In this timeline, he defeated and secretly killed him).

In an alternate timeline with increased crime rates led to the city of Metropolis being turned into a prison, a religious fanatic named Nehemiah Scudder(*If This Goes on...*) becomes U.S. President after predicting the fall of Los Santos(Los Angeles) and imposes a theocratic state. Los Santos(Los Angeles) becomes a dumping ground for anyone opposed to his regime (*Escape from L.A.*).

In an alternate universe, Republican George Sears becomes President of the United States (*Metal Gear Solid*)(He clashed with Luthor Jr in the Republican Primaries but in this universe succeeded in killing Luthor Jr).

In an alternate Universe, Bartlett declined to run for reelection. Al Franken decided to run for President on the sole promise of abolishing ATM-Fees. Initially a joke, a Y2k bug hits and impacts everything except for ATM Machines. He then goes onto win the Democratic Primaries in a landslide against Al Noah(Due to the SCP Foundation not wanting SCP-4444 to win and meddling in the results) and then the presidency after Republican candidates Alexander Luthor Jr and George Sears kill each other, leaving only the bumbling John Blutarsky, which the SCP Foundation no longer has need for with Al Noah out of the election and so do not ensure he wins(*Why Not Me?*).

In a possible future, Superman wins the US Presidential election(*Armageddon 2001*).

In a possible future, Herbert Forrest wins the US Presidential election (*Armageddon 2001*).

In an alternate timeline, Robert "Dakota Bob" Shaefer is elected president of the United States, with Victor "Vic the Veep" Neuman as his vice-president(*The Boys*)(in the main timeline Shaefer was defeated in the Republican primaries by the more vicious Luthor Jr and Sears, you can thank the Boys for the two not being around to stop keep him down).

In an alternate universe where Jack Ryan never had most of his most famous missions and those events were largely butterflied away, Republican J Robert Fowler is elected President(In this alternate Universe, Fowler was never President while in the Jack Ryan timeline he became President in 1988 and was based on Michael Dukakis. As such he can be seen as a stand in for Dukakis, albeit here he ran again much later and is a very different person).

In an alternate Universe, a man named Graham becomes President(*Resident Evil 4*).

**November 11:** Elizabeth Rove commits suicide (*Joan of Arcadia*).

**November 13:** Truck Sugar is murdered in Philadelphia (*Cold Case*).

**November 15:** In an alternate universe, Servian(Serbian) peacekeepers enter the United States as a response to the violent Balkanisation of the country after the presidential election. (*The Onion*)

**November 30:** Seventh Presidian held at the New York Public Library. Stephen Swain is chosen as the human contestant; his daughter Holly is accidentally teleported in with him. The Presidian is aborted without a victor after Bellos is found to be cheating. The library is subsequently destroyed by self-destructing wristbands, but Swain and his daughter escape, as well as his guide (*Contest*).

**November:** Billy Butcher returns home and meets his mother for the first time since the death of his wife. (*The Boys*)

**December 13:**

In Real Life, Al Gore concedes to George W. Bush for a second and final time (Real Life).

An Assassination attempt is made on President Bartlet, but prevented. Al Noah, who has the alien entity SCP-4444 attached to his brain, prepares to be sworn in, only for SCP Foundation agent Jack Bright having assumed the body of the late John Blutarsky, to be sworn in before Noah, preventing his rise until Bartlet recovers(*SCP Foundation*) Rather than being angry Al Noah/SCP-4444 has become obsessed with saving the environment and begins to commit himself to this goal, including defeating the "Imaginary" creature ManBearPig(*South Park*). Bartlet is declared the winner of the election, replacing Noah with Kenneth Yamaoka, who becomes the first asian american Vice President, sadly he would be removed later on after being discovered to have conspired with several hate groups in order to bring them(*Eagle: The Making of an Asian American President*).

In an alternate universe, Robert "Dakota Bob" Shaefer is elected president of the United States, with Victor "Vic the Veep" Neuman as his vice-president. Susan Rayner, wife of Dakota Bob, is appointed director of the CEA(CIA). With their backing, 'Mother's Milk', 'The Frenchman', and 'The Female' are added to The Boys. Around this time, The Boys gradually become more aggressive and violent in dealing with superhumans (*The Boys*)

The CEA(CIA) backs the Boys with the inclusion of "Mother's Milk", "The Frenchman" and "The Female"(*The Boys*)(Justified as the main timeline has many more heroes and Villains walking around, thus justifying the need for such a group as the Boys and ensuring they'd receive funding from groups like CADMUS and SHIELD).

**December 24:** The IS-7 incident. During a cooking competition, a sculptor named Pierre Hoquet (also known as the chef Isaac Dover) is murdered in the residence of celebrity chef Jeff Master, by a confectioner named Dane Gustavia. Gustavia frames Master for the murder and runs away to Zheng Fa (*Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth*).

**December 25:** Marcus Reed destroys one of Metropolis's (New York's) top gangs by killing its leader Kev Lar before being recruited by police officer Terry Higgans to be in the PDM(PDNY). (*True Crime: New York City*)(The flip of the NYPD initials suggests this may take place in the home Universe of Miles Morales which also reverses the letters in the same way.

**December 31:** In what comes to be known as Bloody New Year's Eve, a giant robot appears in Tokyo, while simultaneously a biological weapon is released around the world. The Cult of Yujin(The Cult of Friend in English), develop and distribute a vaccine, becoming heroes as a result(*20th Century Boys*).

Sora Ikushima is born (*Tokyo Xanadu*).

In an alternate universe, Julian West awakens from a deep sleep after 113 years to discover that the United States has become a socialist utopia (*Looking Backward*).

In the main timeline Julian West still awakens at the same time, but is instead introduced to the modern world though some elements such as "Credit and Debit Cards" exist in both. Ironically this effectively would make this version a reversal of the original books which showed a future socialist Utopia, while the modern world would compared to West's time be a Capitalist Utopia(Given that the book *Looking Backward,* inspired Eugene V.Debs to become a Socialist candidate for President, I imagine that Julian West in the main timeline follows a similar path, maybe becoming an analogue of Bernie Sanders or the like).

An escaped prisoner and a necromantic Yakuza boss battle over the Forest of Resurrection (*Versus*).

Two criminals named Boka and Vard from an alternate universe version of 2000 travel back in time to Metropolis in 1959. Posing as agents of the Earth Bureau of Investigation, they convince the authorities in 1959 that Superman is a criminal from the future. They manage to subdue him using red kryptonite and return with him to 2000. Their plan is to take advantage of the fact that Earth's rivers have run dry by having Superman gather the water from two of Saturn's ice moons and sell the water to Earth for billions.

The godlike SCP is also likely to thank for most timelines of this nature being far more Utopic).

In an alternate universe, following a protracted election cycle including a lengthy recount in the state of Columbiana(Florida), Lex Luthor becomes President of the United States (DC Comics).

In an alternate timeline, A religious fanatic named Nehemiah Scudder(*If This Goes on...*) becomes U.S. President after predicting the fall of Los Santos(Los Angeles) and imposes a theocratic state; Los Santos(Los Angeles) becomes a dumping ground for anyone opposed to his regime.

A total of 2,996 people are killed and more than 6,000 others are injured (Real Life).

Gary Seven prevents Shaun Geoffrey Christopher from boarding one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center. This is due to Seven sensing that Christopher was needed to command a manned mission to Saturn in 2020(*Star Trek: The Original Series* short story "Assignment: One").

The Umayyad Revolutionary Council under the leadership of Saif Rahman Yasif(Osama Bin Laden), launch a terrorist attack against the US in which they hijack four planes with the intent to crash two planes into each of the Wynand Towers(World Trade Center) in Metropolis(New York), one into the Pentagon, and one into the White House.

After recruiting several of the Flash's old enemies, Diogenes has Wally's young son David kidnapped. As Diogenes planned, this causes the Flash to come out of retirement. While he desperately searches for his son, Diogenes has his agents fire special guns at the Flash which have the cumulative effect of sapping his speed and aura. Diogenes' overall goal is to transfer this power to Matthew so that he can become a speedster. However, the process goes horribly wrong. Matthew is killed as his body can't handle the Flash's speed.
