Fantastic Four Establishes Sacred Timeline For Marvel Comics As Well

Published Wed, 15 Sep 2021 07:14:11 -0500

Today's Fantastic Four #35 is a riotous run around the history of the Fantastic Four, with a variety of Kangs at different points in their life attacking the Baxter Building to steal the same artifact, again and again, killing any Fantastic Four members they can. Which means a trip to sixties FF, nineties FF, Hickman FF, and the current day. Which also draws the attention of the Time Variance Authority. We'd already mentioned how the Kangs were calling each other Variants now, seemingly in reference to Loki. Well there's more. We get the Neverspace made up of broken timelines…

A place for Kangs, across timelines and timezones, to gather, plot, plan, regroup and restrategise.

That's when they get along of course. It's just that Kangs rarely do.

And with the Time Variance Authority naming the "Sacred Timeline" that they watch over, just like in Loki…

In the TV series, The Sacred Timeline is the term designated to the reality isolated after the Multiversal War by He Who Remains, that lead to the birth of He Who Remains and preventing the birth of evil variants of him, known as Kang. If individual choices caused a branch within the Sacred Timeline that deviated from the sacred timeline, the Time Variance Authority would arrive to prune it. While in Kang The Conqueror #2, also out today, there are other timelines diverging from it… as one version meets another without memory of each other.

Whose is the sacred timeline? Time for some TVA pruning? Man, what will they think of Avengers Forever…
