    Right before Siege was unleashed on the Marvel Universe, we heard that the events unfolding had been in the making for the past seven years. Bendis and Marvel had everything figured out and knew where the 'universe' was headed. Could that be  happening once again? In today's Avengers #5 we just might be getting a glimpse at what is to come. 

    No Caption Provided
    If you've been reading Avengers, you know that part of the team is in the future with Future Tony Stark and Maestro. From the image above (clickHEREto see a bigger, high-rez version!), we see a timeline that could have the secrets of what is in store for the Marvel Universe. 
     
    Looking carefully at the image, we see several things that have already happened and some interesting bits that just might be coming up. What are the important parts here? 
     == TEASER == 
    We see "Heroic Age Begins," "Hope Returns!?" "Three," "Man Without Fear" and "Five Lights" listed on the timeline. Maybe we need an even closer look. 

    No Caption Provided
    We can see "What is where Asgard should be?" "What's in the rings" (maybe dealing with Mandarin), something about Iron Lad, "Galactus Seed,"  "Where's Wanda?" "Fear Without Man," "Steve's Vision" (probably from Captain America: Reborn #6), "Ultron War" and "Yesterday's X-Men." There's also a bunch of math scribbling about the whole thing. As a former Mathematics teacher, perhaps I should start working on those. I have a feeling this is going to be one important comic book panel in the months or years to come. 
      
    What do you think about this? Is this some of what we can expect or is it just a bunch of crazy writing from a random alternate future?

    They may just be leading up to the Ultron War as the next big crossover, if you look at the spacing between events, the time-line doesn't take place over very long, and yet 80 years or so in the future we have the Summers Rebellions (maybe), this is probably them leading up to with a "How Hope changes time" story.

    I see "Scorched Earth?" as the last thing on there. I am really interested to see someone 'decode' it. I see "Who is worthy?", doesn't tell you much though. I can't wait to see what this means.

    When I saw this I thought it was amazing and surprised it hasn't been done before. Just amazing and makes the first few issues really worth it.

    I can't wait to pick up this issue.  I am really enjoying this run so far.  BTW, who is "the King"?  I see "Return of the King" on the timeline.

    Some of them might be red herrings (just to get you speculating), but a few things like Ultron War, seem like they're quite probable for future story-arcs.

    "Steve's Vision" from Reborn #6 looked like a blatant "War Of The Worlds" homage with a "What if they won?" twist.

    Woah, more Marvel mega-events plotted by Bendis! What could be better!? 
     
    Anything. Anything could be better.
     
    Though if the Ultron War is Cosmic based that'll be sweet.

    I wonder if Rip Hunter is aware that Marvel found his plot foreshadowing device. 
     
    And I agree, Bendis has been heading the Marvel ship too long. It is time for another creative voice,

    I like the little Punisher skull in one of the equations a the bottom. But i have a problem, surely they've basically found Wanda, subject to rescuing her from a certain big baddy in the Children's Crusade?

    Would be awesome if 'Master of Kung Fu' means that they will give the title to Iron Fist and that would be the start of his new solo series. (Like Man without Fear going from DD to BP)

    You write a billion books a month, sooner or later you are gonna have to start ganking stuff from people. I hope this is something that, if it is a long term plan, stays mostly in the Avengers, or even just in this Avengers book. I am really getting burnt out on super large mysteries in comics, not to mention big crossover events in general.

    I bet some are major red herrings, but I bet more than you think are legit. That way years later when you read this issue, you can laugh a the stuff that did, and didn't, come to pass.

    Rip Hunter's chalk board anyone? Just as DC had major Marvel envy with Galactus, it turns out Marvel aren't that perfect either. As for that storyboard, looks interesting. I hope most of them aren't red herrings.

    Did Rip Hunter write this timeline?   I know both companies take ideas from each other.. but geez.  Sometimes it's so obvious it's annoying.

    Dear Marvel, copying ideas is par for course but copying without putting your own spin on the idea is pathetically shameless.   
     
    Why not put some creative juice into that concept by showing the branching potential of history or add different sorts of mystery by having parts of the drawing missing or implying that there have been multiple authors overwriting each others' messages?

    HA! 
    Maybe IGN should have waited a bit longer before complaining that they  "Want their events back"
    (here's your "spine") 

    Whatever big event their leading up to, I just hope Bendis isn't the only one spearheading it, or writing it. After Seige, I've grown weary of his events. 
     
    Too bad they could't have thrown this pic in the back of the book (Hickman style ^_^) so we could get a better view.

    I don't think these are planned. Probably just titles that they'll use to come up with storylines later, if they feel like it anyway. With time travel there's always the excuse that what they're doing now changes what was going to happen.

    Let's not forget the "999" connected to "Who is worthy?". Also, I'm pretty dang sure "3(skull)ION" = Triskelion. Makes sense, no? 
     
    I also see "ALL HOPE LIES IN DOOM!". Doctor Doom, I imagine.

    " I also see 'Schizm!,' 'Nova Antiquus,' and 'Master of Kung Fu.'  Would be awesome if 'Master of Kung Fu' means that they will give the title to Iron Fist and that would be the start of his new solo series. (Like Man without Fear going from DD to BP) "

     Nova antiquus= old star in latin, or Old Nova maybe the Nova Corps r coming back "
    That's cool, I did not know that. Would love to see some more Nova, he's one of my favorite characters. Get Abnett and Lanning to write it too!
