Earth-691 - What became of 616 characters

Earth-691 diverged from Earth-616 in the 20th century (Marvel Two-in-One #69, Nov 1980). Also referred to as 'The War of The Worlds,' the Martians attacked and conquered Earth. Many popular heroes and villains were defeated or fled Earth in the process. The Martians would later flee and the Earth would be conquered again by the Badoon. Thus formed the Guardians of the Galaxy to combat them.

As with all alternate realities, readers want to know what their favorites were doing and why they aren't around. As a fan service, many characters back stories were thrown in to the mix.

This list compiles those small passages and appearances of prominent 616 characters and what became of them. Brief descriptions are provided as well as notes to direct your searches if you are interested. I've tried to add more expanded versions (if available) to the character pages where I found it necessary, so for more details check the alternate reality sections of the characters page.

Still a work in progress...

List items

  • Martians invaded the Earth in the late 20th century, killing virtually all heroes of the planet in the War of the Worlds.

  • The Badoon invaded the solar system in the late 30th century and forced the formation of the Guardians of the Galaxy

  • The fear of defeat looming, Tony Stark rocketed his armor into space to prevent the Martians from taking it (an error he made because he again took up drinking). It would eventually be found by an alien race who would worship him, even calling themselves the Stark.

  • Firelord would become the interim Protector of the Universe. He also became an honorary Guardian of the Galaxy and a member of the Galactic Guardians.

  • This reality has two Protectors - Firelord and the Silver Surfer

  • Vision would leave the Earth and become 'Main Frame,' the computer operating system of an entire planet. He would also guard Captain America's shield.

  • Guarded by Vision until the 31st century, the shield finally came in to the possession of Vance Astro (Major Victory)

  • Magneto led a group of mutants from Earth after a decree was passed and the Sentinels were sent against them. This would be referred to as the 'Great Injustice.'

    Magneto would die protecting the mutants from Apocalypse.

  • The Sentinels were enhanced and used in 'The Great Injustice' to destroy all mutants.

  • Apocalypse followed the fleeing mutants on their journey and attempted to rule over and enslave them. He and Magneto died in their battle.

  • Wolverine went with Magneto and is the only mutant to survive the ages long trip to a new world. Wolverine helped to find a suitable location on the planet to live. His offspring would go on to rule the planet, one more ruthless than the next.

    Wolverine would eventually be killed by Dr. Doom (or so he claimed), and his skeleton taken by Doom. Doom would then implant his own brain in the skeleton.

    See Rancor

  • Captain America was shown to fight in the War of the Worlds alongside Doom, Franklin Richards and the Silver Surfer.

  • Aron uses his power for good in this universe, teaching the Silver Surfer how to properly wield the Quantum Bands.

  • The Inhumans of the 31st century only number at about 600, having been enslaved in a reservation below Attilan by the humans. They were betrayed by "a royal who was not an Inhuman." They were selectively bred by Loki to invade Asgard and later enslaved by Rancor and her mutants

  • Namor is the one to destroy the super Sentinels who killed many mutants in the Great Injustice.

  • Rita stowed away on the Guardians ship when they time traveled to the time of the Infinity War. She stayed in the 31st century and joined the Guardians.

  • The Secret Wars never happened in this timeline. The Beyonder was made aware of this universe by Bubonicus and came because he was interested in Protege and Malevolence, who he took to study.

  • For centuries Loki laid dormant, taking the Inhumans as his slaves and successivly breeding the perfect Inhuman warriors to help him invade Asgard.

  • Being a god, Thor survived until the 31st century... although he got a little fat. After being forced to stop fighting and stay at home with his son Woden, Thor grew bored and complacent. He eventually became unworthy of Mjolnir. When his son returned to face Loki, he and his son and Odin all reconciled their differences.
