As in many comic universes, the timeline in the HUniverse is somewhat rubbery. Events with a particular real-world historical context (for example, World War II) tend to be fixed, but as you get closer you get to present day, time becomes less linked to specific real-world years. (Think of Spider-Man having decades-worth of adventures whilst aging 2-3 years and you have the general idea).
Historical Age[]
A number of events occured throughout history that laid the foundation for the heroic age.
