Timeline

Dawn of Time

  • Thor Annual Vol. 1 #5 (Prologue) - The Marvel Universe forms, and Ymir, King of the Frost Giants, comes to be. Once Ymir falls asleep, the first of his descendants are formed. Afterwards, the first of the Asgardian gods, Suri, comes into existence. And lo, when Ymir's descendants and Suri form a union, the first Aesir are born, Ve, Vili, and Odin. When Odin grew older, he and his siblings went to war against Ymir. When Ymir fell, only two of his kind remained, Bergelmir and his wife, though Odin, Ve, and Vili were unaware. Soon, the three formed Midgard, Earth, and all its various features by raising Ymir's body to the surface from the flood created after his slaying and using the different parts. As for the skull, it was used to form the vault of the heavens and within that vault, sparks that formed the various stars as well as the sun and moon blew out. Eons passed and, eventually, time was created. And after Midgard was complete, the Aesir formed their home, Asgard, and the bridge that connected Asgard with Midgard, the rainbow bridge known as Bifrost. Within Asgard, Odin led the Aesir and decided to create the first humans. But as evil formed underneath Midgard, a champion was created to fight it, Odin's son and future ruler of Asgard, the mighty Thor. Within time, Thor gained his signature weapon, the mighty Uru hammer, Mjolnir.
  • Super-Villain Classics (The Birth of Galactus) - In the vast reaches of the universe, there once existed a planet known as Taa, a planet far more advanced than any others in the cosmos. However, a scientist of the planet named Galan discovered something troubling. Taa was headed for destruction. Beings across the universe, and eventually across Taa, begin to die of radiation poisoning. But Galan, determined to see that at least one being survives the destruction, takes a starship and a crew into a blast of cosmic rays so they may die nobly instead of by radiation poisoning. And so, the starship was bombarded by cosmic rays in an event that scientists call the Big Bang, in which the original universe died and another was formed. But Galan remained, and he was soon, after fusing with a deity, reborn as the galactic ravager known as Galactus. And so, after crashing onto the planet home of Uatu the Watcher, future member of The Inhumans, Galactus begins his incubation process over the planet Archeopia, which lasts for years. Until finally, the incubation cube is destroyed and Galactus emerges, ready to begin his unending trek across the universe to consumer life energy from the various planets, though some Archeopians manage to escape Galactus' rampage and become known as The Wanderers. Eventually, after millennia, Galactus finished work on Taa II, a world ship that would be home to Galactus.
  • Silver Surfer Annual Vol. 1 #2 (Saga of the Serpent Crown: Creation) - Many eons ago, after life energy was granted to the relatively new planet Earth through Demiurge, the beings known as the elder gods came to be. They included Mother Nature, then known as Gaea, Chthon the dark mystic, and Set, the great devourer. Within millions of years, Chthon became the first master of black magic, Gaea watched over the forms of organic life on the planet, and Set began his quest for total domination of the planet with his offspring, Sliggluth and Damballah. As a result, Gaea retreated deep into the earth and gave birth to Atum, a being who wielded the power of the sun, allowing him to destroy the legion of demons that followed Set's example. However, Atum absorbed the forms and energies of the demons he slayed into his own body, transforming him into Demogorge, the god-eater. Ultimately, Demogorge destroyed all the demons, save for Chthon, Set, and the spawn of Set. But not even they could stop him, until Chthon decided to retreat to another dimension after creating a link between himself and Earth. Set and his offspring soon followed, but not without leaving their old forms behind to fool Demogorge. Demogorge destroyed them, and dispersed of his form to become Atum once again. But Set did return, unaware to anyone, to continue where he left off.

Gaea realized that the future of the earth lied with the small mammals that lived side by side with the dinosaurs, but Set refused to let his dominance through the dinosaurs fade away, so he set the dinosaurs out to either hunt and kill the mammals, or trample them underfoot. Then, Gaea challenged Set to face her after she realized he was behind the deaths, and so Set took form on the planet after millions of years of being away so he could destroy Gaea and make the world his own. However, Gaea summoned Atum to do battle with Set, and the mighty being severed Set's head from his body with a single blast. However, as Atum returned to his form of Demogorge, from where one head was destroyed, two more took its place, and so on until the creature gained seven heads total. The war between Demogorge and Set ended up causing the extinction of the dinosaurs, but through Gaea, the mammals survived.

  • Mavel Team-Up Vol. 1 #112 - Spider-Man feels himself floating through space, his arm bleeding and sore, his head throbbing with pain. He recalls how he and Devil-Slayer battled Serpent Men and Spider-People, and how those he thought were the Defenders — including Devil-Slayer — turned out to be more Serpent Men in disguise. Then he remembers Serpent Men's fangs stabbing into his arm, their venom mingling with his blood. The images slowly fade and are replaced by the familiar visages of Wong and Dr. Strange. Wong informs his master that Spider-Man is awake. As Spider-Man clears his head, Wong tells him that he is in Dr. Strange's Greenwich Village sanctum, and Strange, levitating nearby, says that Spider-Man has been feverish and delirious for hours. Spider-Man wonders why he is so ill, and Strange says that he is dying of the serpent bite sustained during his recent battle. Ordinarily, he continues, the bite would not be fatal, but the venom is deadly to Spider-People, the Serpent Men's hereditary enemies. Spider-Man has much in common with them, says Strange, including their reaction to the poison. Suddenly, Spider-Man keels over in pain, and Strange casts a spell that levitates him back onto the couch. Strange tells Spider-Man to stare at a lit brazier that he calls the Cauldron of the Cosmos. Within its flames, Spider-Man begins to see the vague outlines of a castle and people marching. Strange says that he is seeing a world of 20,000 years ago, when Atlantis still stood above the sea and King Kull was monarch of the Earth's greatest nation, Valusia. Strange explains that after Kull drove the Serpent Men into hiding, his scholars studied the serpent ways and wrote down descriptions of their obscene rites and arcane magicks. Unfortunately, few Valuslan works survive, he continues as he removes a tome from a shelf, and there is only one way to cure his condition. Spider-Man, however, is unwilling to travel backward in time. But before he can say anymore, he faints. Strange says that he could not send Spider-Man physically back in time because it would cause untold temporal chaos. Instead, he weaves a spell to bring out Spider-Man's astral form. The astral form will be sent into the past, and another spell will give Spider-Man the power to possess a human host for a limited time. Thus equipped, Spider-Man should be able to find the cure on his own. Strange will remain in the present to protect Spider-Man's corporeal body. Spider-Man is so bewildered to be outside his body that Strange has to cast a Spell of Acceptance to calm him. Then he chants an incantation that sends the astral form back to the Age of Valusia. Spider-Man sees many historical events as he passes backward through time, arriving in Valusia just as King Kull is leading his loyal Red Slayers into his capital city. As Spider-Man watches the cheering throng from above, he notices a bowman on a roof overlooking the plaza take aim at the king. He swoops down and possesses the body of a citizen. He is pleased to discover that when he takes over a host, the person gains his spider-powers. The citizen sheds his boots and quickly clambers up to a roof, from which he leaps down onto the assassin before he can shoot his arrow. Kull and his right-hand man, Brule the Spear-Slayer, note what happened, and Kull summons the man who saved him to his court and is astounded that the man has no idea what he did. The man says that something seemed to enter his body, but he can remember nothing more. Uttering an oath, Kull admits that it smacks of sorcery. There are many wizards who would like to see him dead, he muses, but none, as far as he knows, who would aid him. Then Spider-Man, through Brule, asks Kull for the mystic potion to counter the effects of the serpent venom. But Tu, Kull's advisor, explains that there is no such potion in Valusia. At this Spider-Man becomes angry and grabs Tu by the lapels. He has journeyed 20,000 years into the past seeking a cure, he rages, and now he is told that the cure does not exist. Then his time in Brute's body expires, and he leaves Brule standing before Tu, who is on his knees begging the "great spirit" not to do away with him. Brule is bewildered, but after Kull explains what happened, Brule says that there is indeed a man who has such a potion. He is Ju-Lak, a Pict like Brule, and an outcast shaman. His knowledge of the dark arts is as great as his lust for power, says Brule, but he is quite insane. Kull feels that he owes his life to whatever spirit possessed his rescuer, so he arranges an expedition to the Pictish mountains to find the shaman. Soon Kull and Brule are at the head of a column of horsemen headed into Pictish territory, with the astral form of Spider-Man floating invisibly above them. Unfortunately, Ju-Lak himself observes them from afar within the flames of a brazier similar to Dr. Strange's Cauldron of the Cosmos. Spider-Man's spider-sense tingles, but before he can possess a body to warn Kull, the king halts his men, saying he smells "death in the air and blood on the wind." Suddenly a group of leather-skinned beast-men descend from the trees and attack. The horsemen dismount to defend themselves against the demons, who are armed with swords and shields. Spider-Man possesses one of the soldiers, who gains spider-powers and starts to wreak havoc among the creatures. Kull exhorts his troops to match Spider-Man's feats and courage, and the men start to beat the demons back. Ju-Lak curses Kull's prowess. But, he thinks, much more dangerous than Kull is the spirit that serves him. He decides that he must own the powerful spirit himself, so he changes his tactics. Dropping a sparkling powder into his cauldron, he creates a hot wind and blots out the sky with black clouds where Kull is battling. Then an enormous hand appears in the air above Kull, and everything turns black. When consciousness returns, Kull is bound on his knees in the middle of Ju-Lak's village surrounded by Pict warriors, his men are likewise held captive, and Spider-Man's astral form is floating in a mystic cage. Remarkably, the cage makes that astral form visible. Ju-Lak gloats over his victory and the power of his spells, but Kull is not interested in the boasts and simply asks what the shaman wants. Ju-Lak proposes a "fair" contest between himself and Kull. But first he will mortify himself by absorbing the "spider-spirit." This Spider-Man refuses to do, but the shaman chants a mystic spell that compels Spider-Man's astral form to enter his body. Having gained Spider-Man's powers, Ju-Lak sets Kull free and challenges him to battle. Kull replies that he fears no sorcery of Ju-Lak's, for he has his own spiritual links to the Tiger God. Then Ju-Lak and Kull battle. They are almost evenly matched, until Kull is distracted when a Pict warrior starts to beat up the helpless Brule, allowing Ju-Lak to knock Kull out. As Ju-Lak prepares to sink his spear point into Kull's body, Spider-Man suddenly starts to battle the shaman from within. This immobilizes Ju-Lak long enough for Kull to regain consciousness and kick him into a totem pole. Claiming victory, Kull raises his sword to behead the shaman, but then he remembers to spare him, because only the shaman knows how to make the potion that will save Spider-Man's life. As the shaman revives, Kull tells him to brew the potion or die. He swears to do it and releases Spider-Man's astral form. Soon the liquid is ready, and as Kull prepares to drink it, Spider-Man enters his body. Then, as Kull gags over the vile-tasting substance, Spider-Man is pulled swiftly forward to the twentieth century and the mansion of Dr. Strange. As soon as his astral form re-enters his body, Spider-Man rises from the couch feeling perfectly cured. He discards his sling and does some acrobatics. Unfortunately, he remembers nothing of his strange experience, which Dr. Strange believes is just as well, for it could drive him insane. Spider-Man thanks Strange for whatever it was that he did -the "old hocus-pocus" - and web-swings out the window. As he passes by a theater showing the movie Excalibur, he thinks about inviting Debra Whitman on a date to see it. He enjoys sword-and-sorcery stories, he muses, even if they are a bit far-fetched.

  • Amazing Spider-Man Annual Vol. 1 #23 (Cataclysm) - 20,000 years ago the second host of Celestials came to Earth to follow up on their experiments. They discovered that the Deviants of Lemuria have enslaved humanity. However, there are forces at work to try and oust the Deviant occupation. One such man was the alchemist known as Atra, who was working on a weapon to vanquish their enslavers. This was the Serpent Crown, a device that was constructed by alchemists with the help of the dreaded Serpent Men. Meanwhile, the city of Atlantis was under attack by Deviant forces. The only beings opposing the Deviants is Lord Kamuu, the ruler of Atlantis, and his wife Zartra. With the battle going poorly, Kamuu ordered the lava flows around the island opened. This destroys the Deviant invasion fleets, but also doomed Atlantis to sink to the bottom of the ocean. As Zartra fell to the blade of the Lemurian warrior known as Nolem, Atra sacrificed his daughter to power the Serpent Crown. At that same moment, the Deviant ruler known as Phraud is informed of the arrival of the Celestials, and orders their ship shot down. As Kamuu lamented the death of his bride, Atra attempted to use the Serpent Crown to eliminate Phraug. However, much to his horror, Phraud is a devout worshiper of Set, and is protected from the Serpent Crown's power. It's at this moment that the Deviants attempted to attack the Celestials. In retaliation to this, the space gods used their power to sink the islands of Atlantis and Lemuria. As the Eternals came to help those ravaged by the ensuing flooding, the Celestials imprisoned the traitorous Dreaming Celestial. Among the wreckage of Lemuria remained the bodies of Atra and Phraud, still grappling for the Serpent Crown.

On his way, Conan comes across Jongalt, who tells Conan that Garrad helped Jongalt and Corum, Conan's grandfather, fend off a tribe of Raven Picts. Garrad was stabbed in the heart with a lance, but a strange Pict, the Ghost Man,who none of the Cimmerians wanted to kill for some reason, somehow saved Garrad's life with magic. Garrad has not aged a day since. Conan finds another Cimmerian, Brax, aiding Garrad, who does not expect Garrad to see morning. Garrad claims he won't die because his heart beats no matter what happens to his body. He claims that years before, he spared the Pict who saved him, and that Pict placed the heart of a god in his body, preventing him from dying. He makes Conan swear that if he ever seems to die, Conan will cut the heart out and release his spirit. Conan earns the enmity of Kirhak, a local bully, when he refuses to fetch water for him and throws him in the stream, and that night he and Brax go visit Garrad again. Kirhak follows and throws a spear that brains a fully recovered Garrad. Conan, in a fury, follows and spears Kirhak through the chest. Conan returns to cut the heart, still strongly beating, from Garrad's body and it turns into a jewel, which is reclaimed by the ancient Pict. The Pict returns the heart to his god, a giant bat-like creature, who flies away.

Investigating, he sees Ferus wither to dust before his eyes -- the women are nymphs intending to feed on the Cimmerian youths.

They travel north across the mountains until they find a cave for shelter. The inside of the cave appears as if it is a massive temple. Inside is an aged shaman named Sharkosh, and his young maiden Tara. Sharkosh tells them that he safeguards the power of Star-Stone - a device that can project images of the past and the future. Sharkosh requires the sacrifice of a powerful fighter. Volff tells him of the dark maned barbarian he had seen assisting the Aesir. While the villains conspire with one another, Conan and Olaf fight off a trio of winged demon fighters. The winged monsters attack both the Vanir and the Aesir. One of them kills Olav then attacks Conan. It flies Conan high into the air then drops him to the ground where he falls unconscious. When he awakens, he is inside Sharkosh's cavern temple.

Picking it up, he heaves it against a wall until it shatters. An explosion of supernatural energy kills Sharkosh, Volff and Hothar, but Conan manages to grab Tara and dive for safety. Tara explains that she is actually from the same dimension as the winged monsters, but in order for her to remain in this world, another must take her place in her own reality. Sharkosh intended on creating a spell of transference on Conan so that he would unwillingly take Tara's place. With the Star-Stone destroyed, Tara fades away and returns to her home dimension.
  • Conan the Barbarian Vol. 1 #2 - While traveling through Aesgaard, Conan comes upon the dead remains of a giant Beast-Man. He then spies a young woman shivering in the snow. He chases after her hoping to ask her some questions, but she runs away. The woman, Moira, baits Conan into a trap and he is ambushed by two brutish ape men. The beasts lay him low with a blow across the back of the head and drag him down into their underground kingdom of Brutheim. They place him inside of a dungeon filled with "manlings". These men have been raised in slavery and have never once traveled to the surface world. The leader of the slaves is the Chief Thrall, Kiord. Kiord befriends Conan, but tells him that dreams of escaping confinement are futile. Later, Conan is marched out into the middle of a battle arena and presented to the Beast-Men's king, Gha-Kree. He is stripped of his war helm and Conan fights back, but he is quickly overwhelmed. Gha-Kree is impressed with the Cimmerian's temerity and decides that he will be of great sport in the arena games. Conan is taken back to his cell. Kiord offers Conan a sharpened stone should he wish to take his own life. Conan scoffs at the notion, indicating that he still intends to fight back. He is brought back out into the arena and forced to fight against a savage snow-lion. Conan kills the lion with Kiord's rock knife and the sight of victory inspires Kiord to revolt. He breaks free of his cage and his followers run out into the arena. The Beast-Men are shocked but such never before seen courage and are unsure how to react. Many run in fear. Conan and Kiord press against one of the Beast-Men's wheeled battering rams and push it towards the king's throne. The battering ram smashes through the pillars of the arena causing one side of the structure to collapse. During the frenzy, King Zha-Gorr comes up behind Kiord and strikes him dead. Conan leaps in anger and slashes the king across the back of his neck with his sword. The other Beast-Men are either buried beneath the rubble or have fled the arena. Conan takes Zha-Gorr's crown and places it on Kiord's lifeless head, proclaiming him "First among men".
