What about alternates that have nothing to do with Battleworld? Particularly the recent What If? Infinity books that have come out.

And speaking of The All-New X-Men in Axel Alonso confirmed in his latest CBR interview that the original 05 are not dimensional counterparts they are the true 616 past selves of the present day X-Men. I have posted a comment already about it but haven't heard anything back. And the response I know I am going to get is that I'm wrong because since they were brought to the future things have changed for them which is true but their past hasn't changed leaving it to still be Earth-616 (past). And I am aware of the ramifications that since they were brought to the future there is no X-Men in that past to train by Xavier meaning things would be different but time is linear and I don't see any real divergence anymore for them to be considered alternate counterparts. Because back in Battle of the Atom when Cyclops (past) died before Triage brought him back to life, the Cyclops (present) began to fade out of existence which means they are connected linear wise, whereas for example if Cyclops from Earth-295 died while being on Earth-616, their would be no death of Cyclops of 616 since they aren't tied to each other time wise. The Editor in Chief of Marvel confirmed it himself so if thats not a good enough indicator then I don't know what is. Is their any way to merge all of them with their 616 future selves while at the same time having their own pages since they have had their own adventures in the present that has defined them as individuals. I guarantee that if one of them dies their present selves with fade from existence. I hope this will be read with sincere thinking instead of having my comments passed by like a grain of salt.
