History
Inciting Incident[]
This reality came into existence when the Puppet Master of Earth-616 took control of the hero known as Power Man, during a period he was a temporary member of the Fantastic Four. While in the Puppet Master's thrall, Power Man went on a rampage through the FF's Baxter Building headquarters. During said rampage, he knocked a cylinder of Vibranium onto Mister Fantastic's Time Platform, sending it back in time. [1] The cylinder was sent back in time where it was split in half in the time stream. One half ended up in the past of Earth-616, [2] the other ended up creating this divergent reality where World War II took a very different course... [3]
Alternate History[]
The Vibranium cylinder ended up in the hands of the Nazis in occupied France cira 1942. They utilized the material to enhance their V-2 Rockets and as a result they successfully bombed London later that year. In 1943, the Nazis were able to cross the Channel and invade London with minimal resistance.
In 1944, instead of D-Day on the beaches of Normandy, the Nazis gained so much ground, they landed on the shores of Manhattan in the United States. By 1946, the Nazis had taken over the United States and Russia and ruled the world.
Setting History Right[]
This reality would have overwritten the modern era of Earth-616, had it not been for the Time Platform being activated again, transporting Nazi soldiers from Earth-76611 circa 1946 to the modern era of Earth-616. This brought the issue to the attention of the Fantastic Four who realized what was happening. They traveled back in time to 1942 and recovered the Vibranium with the aid of the Invaders creating. This replaced Earth-76611 with Earth-TRN558 where the FF and Invaders prevented the creation of the Vibranium V-2 Rockets. [3] The half of the cylinder that ended up in the past of Earth-616 was later recovered by the Thing and the Liberty Legion. This prevented Earth-TRN558 from replacing Earth-616.[2]Notes
