1 Mundo del Excalibur Nazi linea temporal
Linea Temporal de Earth 597 Hogar del Escuadron Relampago La Version Nazi de Excalibur (Multiverse del Capitan Britania)
Linea Temporal de Earth 597 Hogar del Escuadron Relampago La Version Nazi de Excalibur (Multiverse del Capitan Britania)
Earth-597 is the home of the Lightning Force, a Nazi version of Excalibur. This timeline covers them as well as other Hitler Wins worlds in the Marvel Multiverse. In addition, some attention has been given to the Marvel Universe's established adaption of history relevant to the Nazis, such as the Marvel Universe history of the Jews, Japanese, Aryans and Germans (the Japanese play a part for the history of Earth Thunder-Guard [see below for explanation of Earth-Thunderguard] and the alternate Earth in Captain America IV#17-20, hence their inclusion).
Many stories with themes similar to that of Earth-597 exist. However, none of them can really be smoothly melded with Earth-597. So, they appear on this timeline with appropriate color-coding.
Text in black represents events from either the established history of the Marvel Universe with regards to Aryans, etc. or Earth-597 events. Earth-597 only appears in issues of Excalibur.
Text in teal denotes events from Earth-Thunderguard. Earth-Thunderguard is an alternate timeline seen in the A-Next series, which is a spin-off the Spider-Girl series. These series take place in a possible future for Earth-616.
Text in maroon denotes events for the Captain America IV#17-20 timeline. This storyline presented another thematically similar alternate Earth.
Text in red denotes sundry alternate timelines to Earth-597. These would include those of Kommandant Englander, What If II#1, and Fantastic Four III#47. (Those last three could be the same Earth.) Also, the world seen in the prose novel X-Men: Chaos Engine Book 3, which featured the Lightning Squad, which could not be the same Earth as that of Englander/What If II#1/Fantastic Four III#47.
400,000,000 Years Ago
======================
A time-travelling Baron Von Strucker from March 1964 went here and nabbed a

The Hyborian civilization of Shem were the ancestors of the Israelites/Jews and
of the Arabs. They were not monotheists, but worshipped Ishtar, Bel, Pteor, Adonis
(also called Tammuz), Derketo, and others. [Hyborian Age Essay by Robert E. Howard]
At some point, jealous of the human beauty Isolene, Ishtar had her placed in a tower
guarded by demons-and then forgot about her. [Savage Sword of Conan #98/2]
Ishtar was served by a wizard named Libro, who became greedy and stole her powerstone.
Under the alias of Alonia, Ishtar regained her powerstone. [Conan the Barbarian I#40]
Tel-Ammon, a city-state of Shem, was ruled by Queen Atala. She was seduced and slain
by Nebuhan, who only married her to become king. However, Atala's daughter Ayelet
escaped, and about two decades later, with Conan's help, would avenge her mother.
(Upon the advice of a Vanir mystic, Nebuhan had placed his soul in a mystical container.
Ayelet and Conan acquired the container.). [King Conan #17]
The pirate queen Belit of Shem became Conan's lover and sailed with him for three
years. They even had an adventure at the Mountains of Madness and met a shoggoth.
Sadly, she was slain by an ape-like monster, but Conan avenged her death.
[Conan the Barbarian #58-100, Savage Sword of Conan#107, Conan the Savage #2-4,
Marvel Feature Presents Red Sonja #6-7, Giant-Size Conan#1]
Conan has an adventure in Asgalun of Pelishtia, meeting king Akhirom, who worshipped
Pteor. ["Hawks Over Shem", Savage Sword of Conan#36]
Later, Zukala (a minor god in the time of Atlantis) offered to resurrect Belit, and her
corpse had started to emerge from the sea, but Conan stabbed Zukala. [Conan the Barbarian #115]
In a Shemite city-state, Conan meets Rosina, whose crystal figures are stolen. [Savage Sword of Conan#217]
On the borderline of Aquilonia, Conan saw one of Mitra's angels-the angel who usually
appeared to those about to die. The angel of Mitra appeared again to Conan and granted
him Mitra's power to stop a priestess of Yog (a demon worshipped in Darfar).
The angels of Mitra and the demons of Yog looked on as the two fought. Conan killed the
priestess and saw her blood fall to Earth. The blood cursed the land upon which it fell,
making that land a place of war and disorder. This land would eventually become known
as Palestine. [Savage Sword of Conan #188]
In Shem, Conan is employed by two rich brothers to find the woman Fionqu'a. Little does
Conan know that these brothers are the Gamesmen of Asgalun, using him and Fionqu'a in
an amusing game of life and death. [Savage Sword of Conan #89]
Conan has a few encounters with Nergal and Tammuz. [Conan the Barbarian I#30, Savage
Sword of Conan #220-230]
Conan encounters Shumash-Shum-Ukin, a time-travelling Babylonian monarch. After an
encounter with Xka'Ahk, a serpent demon rival of Set, Shumash-Shum-Ukin declares he
will time travel a few thousand years into the future to meet with a carpenter who can
perform miracles. [Savage Sword of Conan #65]
Conan faces a giant turtle in Shem. [Savage Sword of Conan#72]
Conan encounters Bel, one of the gods of Shem. He also meets Ashtoreth, another god of
Shem. [Savage Sword of Conan #211-212].

machinations of an imposter posing as Conan's son, Taurus. [Conan the King#21-22, 28; King Conan#50]
Circa 9,500 to 8,000 BCE
=======================
In the waning days of the Hyborian Age, as the clash of mighty nations and an
encroaching Ice Age end this phase of civilzation, a group of Vanir, Nordir,
and Cimmerian tribes migrate to live around the Vilayet Sea. These people come
to be known as the Aryans. The Vilayet Sea eventually shrinks to become the
Caspian Sea, and the Aryans are forced to migrate due to a growing population.
Eventually, the Aryans displaced the Picts in Europe. [Hyborian Age Essay by
Robert E. Howard, "Kings of the Night" in Savage Sword of Conan #42-43,
"The Lost Race" in Savage Sword of Conan #69, "Men of the Shadows" in
Savage Sword of Conan #102-106]]
During the time of the drift from Nordheim, an Aesir named Niord joined his tribe in
their migration. (Niord and his people worshipped the Frost Giant Ymir.) During the
journey, they encounter Grom, a Pict. Another Aesir named Bragi was also on the journey.
In the Valley of Broken Stones, Niord faces Satha, the great snake, and an odd monster
left behind by the Old Ones (C'thulhu related monsters). [Robert E. Howard's "The Valley
of the Worm" in Supernatural Thrillers #3, reprinted in Kull and the Barbarians #1]

In Vanaheim, the man mutated by the Caretakers witnessed the battle between the alien
Ulluxy'l Kwan Tae Syn and a hero of the Vanir people. During this battle, the
destruction of the Hellfire Helix took place, shattering it into numerous pieces.
Most of the humans present for the battle against Ulluxy'l died-however, two of them
became immortal by taking fragments of the Hellfire Helix, called the Bloodstones.
The hero of the Vanir people became Ulysses Bloodstone. The man previously mutated by
the Caretakers became the Mad Merlin. [Year and location in Vanaheim from OHOTMUDE #16-

In issues published in the early 1960's to 1970's such as Fantastic Four I#11, Sgt. Fury #3, and Captain Savage and His Leatherneck Raiders #7, Ben Grimm and Reed Richards having served, respectively, as a pilot and an OSS agent were acknowledged, but this has become topical.
In Excalibur: Weird War III, the Red Skull recalls battling Magneto's band of rebels.
Captain America IV#20 has an odd ending. The Red Skull and Captain America are lost in the time vortex, a bright flash occurs-and the next page is a scene which takes place in 1964. However, this time we see Captain America being revived in a version similar to his Earth-616 revival, with the Avengers finding him per Avengers I#4. The intended implication may have been that the timeline shown in this story arc was the virgin, unaltered timeline, and that Earth-616 was created through the events seen in this story. However, that last scene explicitly identifies the events as taking place in 1964, which does not work for Earth-616, which has a rolling timescale. Perhaps the world seen on the last few pages of Captain America IV#20 was Earth-1961 (seen in Fantastic Four Annual 1998), a world which is very similar to Earth-616, save that it does not have a rolling timescale, so references to time are absolute, not relative.
Many stories with themes similar to that of Earth-597 exist. However, none of them can really be smoothly melded with Earth-597. So, they appear on this timeline with appropriate color-coding.
Text in black represents events from either the established history of the Marvel Universe with regards to Aryans, etc. or Earth-597 events. Earth-597 only appears in issues of Excalibur.
Text in teal denotes events from Earth-Thunderguard. Earth-Thunderguard is an alternate timeline seen in the A-Next series, which is a spin-off the Spider-Girl series. These series take place in a possible future for Earth-616.
Text in maroon denotes events for the Captain America IV#17-20 timeline. This storyline presented another thematically similar alternate Earth.
Text in red denotes sundry alternate timelines to Earth-597. These would include those of Kommandant Englander, What If II#1, and Fantastic Four III#47. (Those last three could be the same Earth.) Also, the world seen in the prose novel X-Men: Chaos Engine Book 3, which featured the Lightning Squad, which could not be the same Earth as that of Englander/What If II#1/Fantastic Four III#47.
400,000,000 Years Ago
======================
A time-travelling Baron Von Strucker from March 1964 went here and nabbed a
dinosaur. [Captain America (IV)#18]

The Hyborian civilization of Shem were the ancestors of the Israelites/Jews and
of the Arabs. They were not monotheists, but worshipped Ishtar, Bel, Pteor, Adonis
(also called Tammuz), Derketo, and others. [Hyborian Age Essay by Robert E. Howard]
At some point, jealous of the human beauty Isolene, Ishtar had her placed in a tower
guarded by demons-and then forgot about her. [Savage Sword of Conan #98/2]
Ishtar was served by a wizard named Libro, who became greedy and stole her powerstone.
Under the alias of Alonia, Ishtar regained her powerstone. [Conan the Barbarian I#40]
Tel-Ammon, a city-state of Shem, was ruled by Queen Atala. She was seduced and slain
by Nebuhan, who only married her to become king. However, Atala's daughter Ayelet
escaped, and about two decades later, with Conan's help, would avenge her mother.
(Upon the advice of a Vanir mystic, Nebuhan had placed his soul in a mystical container.
Ayelet and Conan acquired the container.). [King Conan #17]
The pirate queen Belit of Shem became Conan's lover and sailed with him for three
years. They even had an adventure at the Mountains of Madness and met a shoggoth.
Sadly, she was slain by an ape-like monster, but Conan avenged her death.
[Conan the Barbarian #58-100, Savage Sword of Conan#107, Conan the Savage #2-4,
Marvel Feature Presents Red Sonja #6-7, Giant-Size Conan#1]
Conan has an adventure in Asgalun of Pelishtia, meeting king Akhirom, who worshipped
Pteor. ["Hawks Over Shem", Savage Sword of Conan#36]
Later, Zukala (a minor god in the time of Atlantis) offered to resurrect Belit, and her
corpse had started to emerge from the sea, but Conan stabbed Zukala. [Conan the Barbarian #115]
In a Shemite city-state, Conan meets Rosina, whose crystal figures are stolen. [Savage Sword of Conan#217]
On the borderline of Aquilonia, Conan saw one of Mitra's angels-the angel who usually
appeared to those about to die. The angel of Mitra appeared again to Conan and granted
him Mitra's power to stop a priestess of Yog (a demon worshipped in Darfar).
The angels of Mitra and the demons of Yog looked on as the two fought. Conan killed the
priestess and saw her blood fall to Earth. The blood cursed the land upon which it fell,
making that land a place of war and disorder. This land would eventually become known
as Palestine. [Savage Sword of Conan #188]
In Shem, Conan is employed by two rich brothers to find the woman Fionqu'a. Little does
Conan know that these brothers are the Gamesmen of Asgalun, using him and Fionqu'a in
an amusing game of life and death. [Savage Sword of Conan #89]
Conan has a few encounters with Nergal and Tammuz. [Conan the Barbarian I#30, Savage
Sword of Conan #220-230]
Conan encounters Shumash-Shum-Ukin, a time-travelling Babylonian monarch. After an
encounter with Xka'Ahk, a serpent demon rival of Set, Shumash-Shum-Ukin declares he
will time travel a few thousand years into the future to meet with a carpenter who can
perform miracles. [Savage Sword of Conan #65]
Conan faces a giant turtle in Shem. [Savage Sword of Conan#72]
Conan encounters Bel, one of the gods of Shem. He also meets Ashtoreth, another god of
Shem. [Savage Sword of Conan #211-212].
Ayelet remained a staunch ally of King Conan. However, she later died due to the
machinations of an imposter posing as Conan's son, Taurus. [Conan the King#21-22, 28; King Conan#50]
Circa 9,500 to 8,000 BCE
=======================
In the waning days of the Hyborian Age, as the clash of mighty nations and an
encroaching Ice Age end this phase of civilzation, a group of Vanir, Nordir,
and Cimmerian tribes migrate to live around the Vilayet Sea. These people come
to be known as the Aryans. The Vilayet Sea eventually shrinks to become the
Caspian Sea, and the Aryans are forced to migrate due to a growing population.
Eventually, the Aryans displaced the Picts in Europe. [Hyborian Age Essay by
Robert E. Howard, "Kings of the Night" in Savage Sword of Conan #42-43,
"The Lost Race" in Savage Sword of Conan #69, "Men of the Shadows" in
Savage Sword of Conan #102-106]]
During the time of the drift from Nordheim, an Aesir named Niord joined his tribe in
their migration. (Niord and his people worshipped the Frost Giant Ymir.) During the
journey, they encounter Grom, a Pict. Another Aesir named Bragi was also on the journey.
In the Valley of Broken Stones, Niord faces Satha, the great snake, and an odd monster
left behind by the Old Ones (C'thulhu related monsters). [Robert E. Howard's "The Valley
of the Worm" in Supernatural Thrillers #3, reprinted in Kull and the Barbarians #1]

=======================
During these transitional times, the Caretakers of Arcturus endowed a man with
metahuman powers. This man turned against them. [Doctor Strange III#27/2]
In Vanaheim, the man mutated by the Caretakers witnessed the battle between the alien
Ulluxy'l Kwan Tae Syn and a hero of the Vanir people. During this battle, the
destruction of the Hellfire Helix took place, shattering it into numerous pieces.
Most of the humans present for the battle against Ulluxy'l died-however, two of them
became immortal by taking fragments of the Hellfire Helix, called the Bloodstones.
The hero of the Vanir people became Ulysses Bloodstone. The man previously mutated by
the Caretakers became the Mad Merlin. [Year and location in Vanaheim from OHOTMUDE #16-

Universal Cube so he could conquer parallel dimensions. Crimson Curse gave her
life.
All of the members of the Thunderguard died (except for one called Stormtrooper
who decided to spend time with the A-Next's Earth's version of his deceased
son, now known as Thunderstrike II). [A-Next#10-11]
Note
One note is that Reed Richards and Baron Zemo became Dr. Doom's chief advisors as mentioned in A-Next #11.
In issues published in the early 1960's to 1970's such as Fantastic Four I#11, Sgt. Fury #3, and Captain Savage and His Leatherneck Raiders #7, Ben Grimm and Reed Richards having served, respectively, as a pilot and an OSS agent were acknowledged, but this has become topical.
In Excalibur: Weird War III, the Red Skull recalls battling Magneto's band of rebels.
Captain America IV#20 has an odd ending. The Red Skull and Captain America are lost in the time vortex, a bright flash occurs-and the next page is a scene which takes place in 1964. However, this time we see Captain America being revived in a version similar to his Earth-616 revival, with the Avengers finding him per Avengers I#4. The intended implication may have been that the timeline shown in this story arc was the virgin, unaltered timeline, and that Earth-616 was created through the events seen in this story. However, that last scene explicitly identifies the events as taking place in 1964, which does not work for Earth-616, which has a rolling timescale. Perhaps the world seen on the last few pages of Captain America IV#20 was Earth-1961 (seen in Fantastic Four Annual 1998), a world which is very similar to Earth-616, save that it does not have a rolling timescale, so references to time are absolute, not relative.
