Creation


  • Based on the template of New Earth, the Earth is formed approximately 10 billion years after the {{w|Big Bang}}, following the reformation of the [[Multiverse]] in the Infinite Crisis.
  • Following the universe's creation, the Lords of Order and the Lords of Chaos emerge.
  • Sentient beings begin to arise and the Endless enter the universe.



5 Billion Years ago


  • Believing the Source could be a threat to them, the [[Old Gods]] of Urgrund split the Source into its positive component, still called the Source, and its negative component, the Anti-Life. After the Source regains its strength, it compels the Old Gods of the Third World to descend into war, but one of them, Gog, flees their homeworld, crashing on Earth. Finally, there came a time when the Old Gods died, destroying themselves and their world. Its remains are shunted into an alternate universe called the Fourth World, eventually forming into the worlds Apokolips and New Genesis.
  • The [[Guardians of the Universe|Maltusans]], an immortal race of beings, settle the planet [[Oa]], at the center of the Universe. In time, they discover the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum, and succeed in building the [[Central Power Battery]]. One day, the Maltusan scientist [[Krona]] observes the beginning of the universe, but his machine is struck by energy which causes the universe to "be born old". Krona is sentenced to existence as an energy life form.
  • Following Krona's banishment, the Male Maltusans dedicate themselves to combating evil where it rises, becoming the Oans. Following a battle with [[Parallax]], the Oans believe that it would be best to suppress emotions, lest they interfere with their judgment. The females declare that a life without love is blasphemy, and depart Oa, becoming the Zamarons. The Oans eventually create the [[Manhunters]] to patrol the universe.



3 Billion Years ago


  • Following the Massacre of Sector 666 and the failure of the Manhunters, the Oans decide that a sentient force is needed to combat evil whenever it rises. A group of Oans favouring a more proactive approach depart, eventually becoming the Controllers. The Oans who remain become the [[Guardians of the Universe]]. After a short lived force called the Halla, the Guardians form the [[Green Lantern Corps]].



7-2 Million Years Ago


  • 2 million years ago, the "Homo" (Human) genus diverges from the "australopithecines" genus in Africa.
  • The White Martians genetically manipulate the human genetic code; stimulating their evolutionary progress.
  • Martian colonists establish the settlement known as Z'onn Z'orr in the region of Antarctica. The citadel is soon abandoned.



400,000-250,000 Years Ago


  • Archaic ''Homo sapiens'' evolve in Africa and spread across the globe, replacing populations of ''Homo erectus'' and ''Homo neanderthalensis''.



143,000 BCE


  • Two powerful [[Kingdom of Atlantis|Atlantean]] mystics named Calculha and Majistra became the most powerful sorcerers in the world. Calculha, a follower of the light, manipulated White Magic, while his only living equal, Majistra was a practitioner of the dark arts. Through their influence, Atlantis flourished and grew into an advanced community unlike any other on the planet. Although magic was the dominant means of power throughout the continent, noted intellectuals began to recognize the wisdom of science. While the rest of the world had yet to benefit from inventions such as the wheel, the Atlanteans were already developing highly advanced technological wonders.



48,000 BCE


  • [[Vandal Savage|Vandar Adg]], a caveman and leader of the Bear Tribe, finds a mysterious meteor that crashed to Earth. Bathing him in radiation, the meteor granted him incredible intellect and immortality. An observer from the Bear Tribe would later approach that same meteorite and become Savage's eternal nemesis, the Immortal Man, possessing the power to be resurrected as a new persona every time he is killed.



40,000 BCE


  • The New Gods visit Earth and experiment upon an early Neanderthal named Aurakles, endowing him with abilities far beyond normal humans and providing him with technology beyond the capabilities of his fellow Neanderthals, all in order so that he could lead his people and defend the Earth for centuries. Aurakles became the world's first superhero, battling against the 666 Monsters of Chaos.



33,000 BCE


  • A Cro-Magnon son is born to Neanderthal Ne-Ahn and becomes known as Anthro, the First Boy.
  • Clans of Cro-Magnan eventually wage war against South American Neanderthal tribes, eradicating them and their culture from the world.
  • The shaman Rheelai (possibly the last Neanderthal) crafted two relics of great mystical import. The first was a polished amber stone which later became known as the Claw of Aelkhünd; the second was a golden cup which would one day become the fabled Holy Grail of Christian lore.



30,000 BCE


  • A caveman returns to his home after a harrowing day of hunting. Having lost the use of his arm in battle, he feels weak and ashamed. His pregnant mate tries to console him, but her pity only drives him into a fit of rage. Picking up a club, he brutally bashes her across the head, killing her. The dead woman’s spirit leaves her body and travels into the underworld.



9500 BCE


  • During the reign of King Orin I, a massive earthquake rips across the continent of [[Kingdom of Atlantis|Atlantis]], killing untold millions of people. However, as many Atlantean scientists had predicted such a catastrophe and warned Orin, the King and constructed large shield domes, which protected several major cities from the devastation. Nothing however, could prevent the entire continent of Atlantis from sinking permanently into the sea. Eventually, King Orin's scientists are able to develop a serum that allows the Atlanteans to survive breathe underwater and survive the oceanic pressure.



7000 BCE


  • A young boy named [[Shazam]] is chosen by six long-since forgotten gods to become their champion and becomes known as the Wizard Shazam.



5000 BCE


  • The first recorded whereabouts of the mighty sorcerer now known as [[Felix Faust]]. He appeared in the legendary African empire of Kor. The king of Kor was Nommo, the prime wizard of his time and the guardian of the mystic power called the Flame of Life. The evil sorcerer battled Nommo, attempting to use the Flame's power to his own corrupt ends. Nommo then called the Flame of Life into himself, defeating the sorcerer by banishing him to another dimension.



4000 BCE


  • Members of the Oan race crash land on Earth somewhere in Northern Mesopotamia and are worshiped or mistaken for the Anunnaki, the gods of the Sumerian and Babylonian Empires.



2030 BCE


  • In 2030 B.C., the Egyptian deity Anubis rewarded his most devoted follower, the mad priest Khalis, with a gift, the Amulet of Anubis, holding part of the god's own power. In the following years, Khalis used the Amulet to take mental control of a legion of Nubian slaves and made them build "the mightiest of pyramids" to honor Anubis. However, when Nabu the Wise, a Lord of Order in human form who served various Egyptian Pharaohs, discovered the actions of Khalis, he was not pleased. With a wave of his arm, Nabu freed the slaves from the priest's spell and let them have their revenge on Khalis. As Khalis was buried, Nabu took the Amulet as his own.



2000 BCE


  • Zeus and his allies go to war with the Titans, the first generation of the Olympian gods, overthrowing them and casting them into Tartarus. Zeus and his brothers cast lots for creation; Zeus takes the heavens, Poseidon takes the seas and Hades takes control of the underworld.



1279-1230 BCE


  • The Wizard Shazam becomes a high priest to the pharaoh Ramses II of Egypt. As the wizard grew older, he sought a champion worthy to inherit his powers. The young prince [[Teth-Adam]] of [[Kahndaq]] (Ramses' son) impresses the wizard with his fairness and decency. But before Shazam could bestow his powers, his daughter Blaze makes a deal with the god Set. When Teth-Adam spoke the name "Shazam," instead of gaining the wizard's powers, he was blessed with the power of seven Egyptian gods: Shu, Heru, Amon, Zehuti, Aton and Mehen.
  • Teth-Adam serves Egypt for many years alongside the great wizard, Nabu, but this duty drew him away from his wife, Shiruta, and children, Gon and Hurut, in Kahndaq. While he was away, the mad priest Ahk-ton ravages Kahndaq and kills Adam's family. Unable to apprehend Ahk-ton, Adam entombs his family and returns to the court of Ramses and allied himself with [[Hawkman|Prince Khufu]].
  • As prophesied by the wizard Nabu, a space ship lands in Egypt. Prince Khufu, Nabu, and Teth-Adam search the desert, finally coming across the remains of a Thanagarian ship styled with a hawk-like motif. Nabu casts a spell translating the strange language of the female space traveler. Just before dying, she whispers the words, "[[Nth-Metal|Nth Metal]]", the name of the substance that powered the downed ship.
  • The ship is studied at Khufu's palace. The remaining Nth metal is examined and melted down to be used to create several devices; including a scarab which allows Khufu to fly, a deadly knife, and a battle glove referred to as the Claw of Horus. However, the metal also strengthens the souls of Khufu and his wife, Chay-Ara, binding them together in their love and imprinting them with the collective knowledge of Thanagar.
  • The villainous priest Hath-Set murders Khufu and Chay-Ara with the knife of Nth metal.
  • Becoming disparaged, Adam eventually meets three travelers from the future ([[Hawkgirl]], [[Mister Terrific]], and [[Captain Marvel]]) who help Adam capture Ahk-ton. Adam then kills the priest as retribution for murdering his family. Adam then returns to Khandaq and forcefully overthrows the government present there, appointing himself ruler. The wizard Shazam was made aware of all of these events and, thinking Adam had been corrupted by Blaze, unleashed a spell that trapped Adam's soul and powers within a scarab and renders Adam's de-powered body into a withered corpse. Shazam then buried both the body and the scarab in the tomb of Rameses II, where he had planned for it to remain for all eternity. In death, the former hero was referred to as "Khem-Adam" ("[[Black Adam]]"). Disillusioned by what he perceived as Adam's betrayal, Shazam went several millennia before appointing a second champion to fight evil in his name.



1200 BCE


  • [[Circe]], a princess of Colchis, has her subjects object over her killing her weak husband. Driven out of the kingdom, she finds refuge on a small island called Aeaea and begins to accumulate her considerable magical power. Limited to the island, Circe eventually uses the Sirens of Greek lore to lure seafarers to the island.
  • A convocation forms in the palace of Zeus on Mount Olympus. Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, petitions Zeus to create a new race of warrior women – a race that will help to lead mankind back towards faithful worship of the Gods. [[Ares]], the God of War, believes this plan to be pitiful and will only serve to weaken the vitality of the Gods. Zeus has no interest in the idea at all, and leaves the chamber, allowing the other Gods to decide the issue amongst themselves. Artemis addresses Zeus' wife, Hera, and asks for her blessing in this endeavor. Hera warns her to tread lightly, and to never again ask her to take sides against her husband.
  • Artemis gathers several Gods sympathetic to her cause together including Hermes, Demeter, Aphrodite, Hestia and Athena. Without Zeus' knowledge, they book passage across the River Styx to the Cavern of Souls. The Gods then pool their resources, extracting the souls and reincarnating them on Earth on the shores of Greece as a warrior race of women known as [[Amazons of Themyscira|Amazons]]. One spirit, however, is not reincarnated and remains behind in the Cavern of Souls. Athena notes that this one has a special destiny, and that her time of rebirth has not yet come.
  • Athena addresses these newly born Amazons and tells them that they are born to lead humanity in the ways of virtue. Athena selects [[Queen Hippolyta|Hippolyta]] to serve as Queen of the Amazons, with her sister Antiope acting at her side. Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth, forges them a great city and the Amazons live in prosperity for centuries.



1000 BCE


  • Feeling threatened by the Amazons' existence, Ares convinces Herakles and his friend Theseus of Athens to seduce the Amazons' two queens, Hippolita and Antiope. Herakles then enslaves the Amazons, stealing Hippolyta's girdle, and departs.
  • With Athena's help, Hippolyta frees the Amazons and they massacre Herakles' army. Antiope then leads an army on Athens and Theseus asks Antiope to become his queen, which she accepts. However, his wife Adriane, prompted by Circe, murders Antiope and herself killed in the struggle.
  • Theseus and Pythia, Antiope's daughter, each believes the other is responsible and Theseus banishes the Amazons from Athens. The Goddesses declare that the Amazons have failed in their mission of peace and exiles Hippolyta's faction to [[Themyscira]]. Pythia's faction renounces the Gods of Olympus and found the city of Bana-Mighdall.
  • The young Atlantean Gamemnae is left to die for her blonde hair. Surviving, she becomes a sorceress capable of absorbing the power of others, and raises Atlantis from the ocean, turning them back into air breathers and appointing herself Queen. When Atlanteans from the future arrive to escape from a future enemy, Gamemnae enslaves them and imprisons their king, [[Arthur Curry]], trapping him in a water like form. When she discovers that his comrades-in-arms, the [[Justice League of America]], would soon arrive and rescue the Atlanteans, Gamemnae assembles a similar group, the League of Ancients, from all over the world and kills the Justice League. However, Gamemnae is betrayed by a member of the League of Ancients, Manitou Raven, over her ruthless methods and revives the JLA, freeing Arthur. Arthur then resinks Atlantis, breaking Gamemnae's air breathing spell and killing her in the process.



15th Century AD


  • The man who would be known as [[Ra's al Ghul]] is born to a tribe of nomads in a desert somewhere in Arabia, near a city whose inhabitants' ancestors have journeyed to the Arabian Peninsula from China. Ra's is interested in science from an early age. Unable to learn any science living as a nomad, he abandons his tribe to live in the city, where he can conduct his scientific research. He becomes a physician and marries a woman named Sora, the love of his life. He eventually discovers a naturally occurring solution known as a [[Lazarus Pit]], which he uses to heal a dying prince. However, the prince is driven insane and kills Sora, while the king blames Ra's for the murder and buries him alive. Freed by the son of a former patient, Ra's reunites his tribe and they massacre the city, killing the king and his son.

To seal the deal, the rulers of the two worlds exchange sons: Izaya gives his son to Darkseid, while Darkseid gives his son [[Orion]] to Izaya. Izaya's son, named [[Mister Miracle|Scott Free]], rejects the teachings of Darkseid and [[Granny Goodness]], while Orion takes to teachings of New Genesis becomes forever opposed to his father.

    • Loring asserts that she did not mean to kill Sue, nor was it her intention for Jack Drake, [[Robin]]'s father, to be killed. She argues that she sent the note and gun in order for him to protect himself and survive the attack.

Injustice Timeline


Prologue:

In an alternate universe, The Joker succeeds in giving Superman one really bad day. He ruins the Man of Steel's life by drugging Supes with modified fear toxin to trick him into killing Lois Lane (who is hallucinated as Doomsday). Not only was Lois pregnant with their child, she had a trigger which caused the nuclear destruction of Metropolis. Because of this, Superman finally abandons all moral constraints, intruding an interrogation session of the Clown Prince of Crime and drives his fist through Joker's chest against Batman's wishes.

Year One:

Encouraged by Wonder Woman, Superman reveals his Secret Identity on television and starts forcefully putting an end to world conflicts with help from the Justice League. Public opinion turns in favor of Superman's Regime when he single-handily kills an entire invasion force from Apokolips and murders Darkseid's son Kalibak. With the world pretty much kowtowing to him, Superman figures the Justice League can't police the entire world by themselves, so his best friend Lex Luthor comes up with a pill made from Kryptonian technology that will give anyone who takes it super strength and durability.

Batman opposes Superman from the start and puts together his own team, the Insurgency, to stop Superman's Regime. Batman learns of Luthor's Super Soldier pill and sends the Insurgency to the Fortress of Solitude where the pill is being made. Green Arrow is able to get one pill out to Batman before Superman beats him to death. Back at the Batcave, Batman distracts Superman long enough for the Bat-Computer to analyze the contents of the pill and send the information elsewhere. Then Alfred Pennysworth takes the pill, delivers a Curb-Stomp Battle to Superman, and escapes with Batman via teleporter.


Year Two:

Sinestro comes to Earth to warn Superman that the Guardians of the Universe will not appreciate him taking over his planet, especially with the help of Hal Jordan. His warnings prove correct and the Guardians demand Superman stop his takeover. Superman refuses so the Guardians return to Oa, imprison Hal, and assemble a strike team to apprehend Superman. John Stewart breaks Hal out of prison and Superman is able to repel the strike team with the help of JLA's Watchtower laser, Sinestro, and the Sinestro Corps. The surviving Green Lanterns are forced to surrender.

Seven months later a much larger Green Lantern army led by Guy Gardner invades Earth. Ganthet takes away Hal's Green Lantern ring but Sinestro replaces it with a Yellow Lantern ring. The Green Lanterns are able to stalemate the Sinestro Corps until Superman receives his own Yellow Lantern ring. The extra firepower coupled with Sinestro killing John Stewart and Hal killing Guy Gardner pushes back the Green Lanterns.

Year Three:

Year Three starts with John Constantine saving his daughter Rose from a collapsed building caused by the Lantern War of Year Two. Seeking to protect his daughter, Constantine drops Rose off at the home of Doctor Fate, then goes to meet with Trigon the Terrible. Trigon has a piece of John's soul and John is willing to locate his daughter Raven in exchange for it. Constantine meets up with Batman and several magic users to discuss something that is protecting Superman from magic attacks. John also reveals to Batman and Detective Chimp that he was the one who captured Raven. Raven temporarily escapes and begs Superman to save her. When the Regime confronts Constantine and Batman, Constantine tells Trigon that Superman was the one who kidnapped Raven. The force protecting Superman from magic is revealed to be Mr. Mxyzptlk bonded to The Spectre.

Mr. Mxyzptlk and Trigon fight, but their fighting threatens to shatter reality, so the Regime and the Insurgency call a truce. Working together the two teams banish Mr. Mxyzptlk and Trigon to oblivion. Constantine admits that he had orchestrated the events of the entire year to get Trigon out of the way so he and his daughter can live in peace without fear of Trigon coming for his soul. Constantine buggers off to another dimension with his daughter, leaving the Injustice universe with a few less heroes.

Year Four:

Zeus himself gets sick of Superman acting like he's a god and egged on by Hera and Ares, leads the Amazons and Hercules against Superman's super soldiers. Superman and especially Wonder Woman don't like this, but the gods take Wonder Woman's mother Hippolyta hostage. Superman is temporarily defeated, but Harley Quinn saves Hippolyta and Superman fights back with the help of Shazam. Eventually, Highfather of the New Gods tells Zeus to back down.

At the end of the year, Plastic Man stages a prison break, using Mirror Master's technology, to save his son and everyone else in the underwater prison. Desperate to keep the imprisoned Green Lanterns escaping, Sinestro accidentally destroys the prison.

Year Five:

With all the escaped supervillains running wild, Superman decides to recruit some supervillains into the Regime with brainwashing, starting with Doomsday.

Meanwhile Batman's Insurgency falls apart when Catwoman gives up and goes to Superman and Alfred Pennysworth is killed by Victor Zsasz. In one last desperate gamble to stop Superman Batman builds a device that can open a breach between dimensions.

Which leads to...

Realising his grandson's dreaded heritage Bruce develops technology to mimic ionizing radiation to suppress Paul's innate abilities.

It is around this time that Superman conceives a daughter with Wonder Woman known as Alys Kent.

Harley, filled with confidence after overthrowing Superman, broke the Prime Joker out of his dimension's prison and brought him to her dimension. They married, but at the reception, the Joker's mashing Harley's face playfully into the wedding cake caused her to snap: after enduring her own world's Joker's abuse for so long, she suddenly slashed her husband's throat. Now, she resides in Arkham Asylum, still wearing her wedding dress.

Hawkgirl wrested free of Superman's brainwashing and exacted revenge for the death of her husband, Hawkman. She was imprisoned for her role in Superman's reign.

With her new invincible armour, she set out to get revenge against those who had captured Hawkman.

2 AR:

Superman's fall meant new governments rising up to fill the power vacuum left over, which meant no shortage of work for Deathstroke. Too much work, as it turns out: being only one man who can only assassinate so many people and cause so many revolutions, he sought out those who served in the Regime's army before its collapse and recruited them into a team of elite assassins: the New Titans.

Prime Superman is left troubled after his victory over his Regime counterpart: what's to stop him from becoming a tyrant, as well? To ensure this would never happen, Superman, working with the Justice League, ingested a remote-release capsule containing Kryptonite that would open and kill him if he ever went astray.

After defeating Superman, Aquaman gains an interest in conquering all of the world's oceans for Atlantis, giving the sub-aquatic civilization a great deal of control over the ecology and economy of the planet. The governments of the world did not approve of Aquaman's power play and sent assassins to kill the Atlantean king. This did not go over well with the general population, who grew to like Aquaman, and support swelled for uniting the entire world under a single government, ruled by Aquaman.

Blinded by rage he would hack and slash at his father with rage constructs whilst he killed all major heroes, and villains mercilessly at the command of an insane Sinestro. Supergirl arrives to plead with Damien and stop toying with his son; unbeknownst to Paul that Kara was his mother.
