Timeline / Infinity Crisis

Go To

WARNING: ALL SPOILERS ARE UNMARKED!

In 5 years of existence, Infinity Crisis evolved from a simple superhero crossover to an immense collaborative project with more than 50 franchises (and counting) involved. With more than 70 stories (and counting) written in the setting, few explicit continuity notes and retcons (as well as concepts related to Meta Fiction) being involved, it can be difficult to see where something happened and when it happened.

If you edit the "Main timeline" folder, don't forget to put the name of the universe in which an event happened. In general, don't also forget to precise in which IC story an event has been shown.

     Timeline of post-retcon Earth- 51 (DC Extended Universe) 

Pre-World War II

  • 1914-1919: World War I rages. Wonder Woman debuts.

World War II

  • 1940 - November: Adolf Hitler obtains the Spear of Destiny. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt is alerted of this by a British spy named Timothy Smythe.
    • Diana of Themyscira returns to America and convinces Roosevelt to let her investigate. She is joined by two other "mystery men": Jason Peter Garrick/Flash I and Alan Ladd Wellington Scott/Green Lantern I.
    • Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern travel to Mc Murdie Castle in Scotland where they discover a Nazi project called the "Mordmaschine" (Murder Machine). The three heroes are captured by the Mordmaschine and taken to Germany. They are displayed to the public by Hitler, who then uses the Spear of Destiny to summon a group of Valkyrie, who are tasked with killing Roosevelt.
    • Alerted to a future Nazi invasion of England, Kent Nelson, aka Dr. Fate, gathered another group of heroes to stop it: Al Pratt/Atom I, Carter Hall/Hawkman, Shiera Hall/Hawkwoman, Rex Tyler/Hourman I, and Jim Corrigan/The Spectre. This group aided British troops in stopping the invasion in Dover. Uniting with Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern, the heroes would manage to intercept the Valkyries and stop them except for one: Gudra.
    • Gudra manages to make her way to the White House. The Atom engages her in battle. He is injured, but is able to buy time for the Secret Service to get Roosevelt to safety. This incident convinces the President that the United States will have to join the war at some point. He convinces the gathered heroes to join together to protect the country from the Nazis. The Justice Society of America is born. The Spectre does not join, but does aid the team on occasion, and is considered a member.
  • 1941 - December: The United States enters World War II. The Justice Society becomes an arm of the All-Star Squadron, a massive grouping of the era's mystery men and women. Unlike the Invaders of Earth-199999, the superheroes were unable to fight in the front line due to Hitler's possessing the Spear of Destiny and the Japanese having the Philosopher's Stone.
    • In that same year, the JSA engaged a villain named Ian Karkull. The battle ended with Karkull exploding and bathing the heroes with strange radiation. It will not be discovered until the 1960s that the radiation caused the JSA members and their loved ones at the battle to have their aging slowed to the point they are practically immortal.
    • Over the war years, the JSA's roster would change and grow, with Dinah Lance/Black Canary I, Ted Grant/Wildcat I, Ted Knight/Starman I, Wesley Dodds/Sandman I, Charles Mc Nider/Dr. Mid-Nite I and Johnny Thunder all being members of the group.

Post-World War II

  • 1951 - The Justice Society chooses to retire as a response to accusations of being Communist agents by J. Edgar Hoover thanks to Wonder Woman using her wartime fame to promote civil and LGBTQ+ rights. Unknown to them, Hoover was influenced by time traveler Per Degaton.
  • 1955 - J'onn J'onzz is accidentally brought to Earth by a scientist named Saul Erdel. He would take up the identity of "John Jones", a private investigator in Middleton, a suburb of Denver, Colorado.
  • 1957 - The Justice Experience is founded. J'onn J'onzz takes up his first superheroic identity: The Bronze Wraith. He would be the only constant member of the group throughout its decades of existence.
  • 1977 - Per Degaton obtains the Spear of Destiny and uses it in an attempt to bring about Ragnarok. The Justice Experience joins forces with the reunited JSA (sans Wonder Woman and Black Canary I) to stop this. It would be the only time the two teams join forces, as this adventure results in the JSA being trapped in Asgard for decades, stuck in a never-ending battle.
  • 1980s - Several of the JSA's children would become Justice Experience members: Jade, Obsidian, Wildcat II, Silver Scarab, Northwind, Nuklon.
