History ComicBook / EarthX

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Nearly every Marvel character as of 2000 is touched upon here, as well as many, many others specially created.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Even the long-dead live, after a fashion.

''Earth X'' is a Creator/MarvelComics series of books. Based off of ideas by Creator/AlexRoss, it was written by Jim Krueger and drawn by John Paul Leon. This was originally created by Ross when asked by ''Wizard: The Comics Magazine'' to create a Marvel counterpart for Creator/DCComics' legendary series ''ComicBook/KingdomCome''.

* BaldOfAwesome: Steve Rogers has no hair.

*** Death's Realm can't hold the Hulk! Who'd have guessed it?

*** The Celestials really did destroy the original universe and create the multiverse. The First Firmament's still missed about it. (And since these cosmic beings transcend alternate histories, it's possible Mar-Vell woke him up!)

* {{Retcanon}}: The plot point of Black Bolt [[spoiler: releasing the Terrigen Mist across the globe to create a new race of human/Inhuman hybrids]] was later brought into the mainstream Marvel canon during ''Comicbook/{{Infinity}}'' and its follow-up, ''Comicbook/{{Inhumanity}}''.

* AntiAntiChrist: Inverted by Loki, who decides to bring about Ragnarok; because it's the right thing to do.

*** A female Thor, which eventually came to fruition in the form of [[ComicBook/Thor2014 Jane Foster]].

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The Monster Generation is made up of people who mutated so hideously that they became outcasts even among the entirely mutant population of Earth.

* BadassGrandpa: When the new X-Men attack Cyclops to prove they can hang, Scott mops the floor with them despite being outnumbered five to one and fighting people young enough to be his kids, one of whom is a giant.

* The Celestials really did destroy the original universe and create the multiverse. The First Firmament's still missed about it. (And since these cosmic beings transcend alternate histories, it's possible Mar-Vell woke him up!)8

%%* BewareTheSuperman: Justified and explained. Also, Beware The General Populace.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: To ''ComicBook/KingdomCome''. Both are set in a BadFuture by Creator/Alexross where Earth's heroes have turned their backs on Earth.

Not to be confused with the DC AlternateUniverse that operates under Godwin's law.

* AFateWorseThanDeath: In retaliation for killing his uncle Johnny, Franklin Richards uses his RealityWarper abilities to make it so that half of [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]]'s body is constantly burning for as long as he lives.

%%* PresidentEvil: Norman Osborn.

%%* WingedHumanoid: Wyatt Wingfoot/Red Wing, Luna, as well as many other unnamed characters.

%%* ImAHumanitarian: Jamie Madrox/Multiple Man with himself.

* BadFuture: Not as bad as, say, ''ComicBook/OldManLogan'' or ''ComicBook/Marvel2099'', but nonetheless a lot of our favorite heroes have retired to become shells of their former selves, died, or sunk into depression. The Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four are no more, as almost all of Earth’s telepaths, even Professor X, died when the Skull was born, the Avengers (Giant-Man, Wasp, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and a four-armed Hawkeye) were all killed by the Absorbing Man, and a disastrous final mission by the Fantastic Four ended with the Human Torch, Doctor Doom, and the Invisible Woman dead, Namor cursed by Franklin Richards to burn on his left half, and Mister Fantastic moving to Latveria and donning Doctor Doom’s armor, while the Thing married Alicia Masters and started a family. Spider-Man is overweight, widowed, and

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The Skull's attempt at world domination is stopped, and the Celestial threat to Earth is gone, but the destruction of Earth's Celestial embryo has resulted in worldwide catastrophes, and the Celestials are still out there.]]

* {{Autocannibalism}}: Multiple Man eats a duplicate of himself while lost in the frozen wilderness. This results in him becoming the new,, [[MesACrowd endlessly multiplying]] {{Wendigo}}.

%%* DeathSeeker: Daredevil.

%%* EnfantTerrible: [[spoiler:The Skull.]]

* OldSuperhero: Many of Earth's heroes are feeling their years. Particularly egregious cases: Spider-Man (who returns to action in a Halloween costume that can't conceal his spare tire), Mr. Fantastic (bearded, and living as "Dr. Doom" out of guilt), Captain America (still in good shape — time doesn't affect the SuperSoldier Serum, it seems — but bald, despondent, and wearing a tattered American flag as a costume), and Wolverine (a drunken slob married to a disgusted Jean Grey).
