Event Synopsis
On November 22, 1963,[1] in Dallas, Texas, the President of the United States of America John F. Kennedy was riding with his wife Jacqueline, Texas Governor John Connally[2] and his wife. He was fatally shot by Lee Harvey Oswald firing from the Texas School Book Depository into Dealey Plaza from a nearby building. The motorcade rushed to the hospital where he was announced dead.[3]
Nightingale from First Line had a vision of the president being killed by an unknown assailant. The team travelled to Dallas to stop the attack but mistaken Chimera and Howler as the attackers not aware of Oswald's plans.[4]
Aftermath
Death of Lee Harvey Oswald
Two days later, Oswald was fatally shot on live television in the Dallas Police Headquarters.[1]
In an experiment the time traveler Immortas travelled back to 1963. Doing so he created Earth-9007 a timeline Oswald was killed by an Agent Corrigan. He arrived at the depository after getting a tip off phone call from Immortus. He created the alteration so that the single assassin theory would be ignored and the true killer of JFK from the grassy knoll would be investigated. Immortus erased the timeline rather then seeing how it would play out.[5]
Alternate Theories and Claims

Lee Oswald Taking the Fall
