History WMG / SecretWars2015

They did so by passing off another universe as 616, and either as part of the plan or a side effect of it, Marvel Comics published comics about this other universe and billed them as 616. This universe is very similar to 616, except in this universe Storm married Black Panther out of nowhere, Tony Stark [[ComicBook/CivilWar became a totaliarian, practically-if-not-outright-villainous fascist]], Norman Osborn [[ComicBook/DarkReign took control of the superhero community for a while]], and Spider-Man made a DealWithTheDevil to [[ComicBook/OneMoreDay erase his marriage]].

* '''Confirmed''' for Miles, '''jossed''' for Gwen -- though it seems she'll have the ability to hop between her reality and the mainstream MarvelUniverse.

The Prelude to Secret Wars volume included issues from the original ''ComicBook/SecretWars''. Issues wherein we learned that Doom hadn't actually finished off the original Beyonder, that he was, in fact, still alive but weakened, and manipulated Doom into reviving the fallen heroes. Why include that segment of the story unless it had some bearing on the current event? The Beyonders were beaten, but not destroyed, and some vapor of them is still around, waiting to strike and reclaim that which is theirs. But this time, they'll agree to leave the multiverse alone because they'll receive aid from the heroes of the multiverse. In fact, ComicBook/AForce's Singularity may be what remains of the Beyonders after Doom fought them and brought them low.

The tie in to the original Secret Wars will be Owen Reese revealing to Doom that he hadn't been able to restore his face because of a mental block. Doom always felt he was inferior to Reed. Deep in his heart. And he always felt he was wrong, somehow. So now, he couldn't get past that and fix his face. But as he helps Reed save the multiverse, Doom will be free of that, the same way Doom once helped Owen Reese get around his own mental block back in the original ''ComicBook/SecretWars''. As Doom lets loose the power to restore everything, his face is restored.

* This makes sense in light of earlier "Doom rules all" stories. In the original ''Comicbook/SecretWars'', after he stole the Beyonder's power, Doom began to doubt whether he was worthy of it and ended up subconsciously reviving all the heroes he had killed, who then defeated him. And in ''Emperor Doom'', where Doom also conquered the whole Earth, he intentionally allowed the Avengers to go against him, because he was bored with of all the duties that come with ruling the entire planet.

Likewise, Shang Chi, the Master of Kung-Fu will have to have a different father due to Marvel not owning the rights to Literature/FuManchu, the Microverse and ComicBook/CaptainUniverse still exist despite the lack of ComicBook/{{Micronauts}}, and [[ComicBook/DoctorStrange Shuma-Gorath]] will be completely separated from [[Creator/RobertEHoward Robert E. Howard]]'s ''Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian'' (and thus [[Creator/HPLovecraft H.P. Lovecraft]]'s Franchise/CthulhuMythos), among other instances.

* Marvel 2099 will become [[ExtyYearsFromNow 2115]] or 21XX.

Doom is certainly a genius level intellect. Yet, for all his planning, schemes, and machinations, he constantly loses to the Fantastic Four and other heroes. He scoured all of Battleworld looking for Reed Richards. Did he do so because he wanted to gloat? Or because he wanted to stop Reed from defeating him? He assigned Valeria to the task of finding Stephen Strange's murderer (Doom himself). He knows how intelligent and clever Valeria is. Did he think he carefully concealed his tracks, or was he aware that Valeria would eventually (figuratively) unmask him? His conversation with Owen Reese, who said Doom reeked of shame, suggests the latter. If Doom had considered his actions justified and proper, he could have just told everyone that Stephen betrayed them and he had to deal with it. Instead, he seems to have chosen to hide the truth in ACertainPointOfView rationale. Valeria has tumbled to the truth, and it's not hard to guess that Doom is already aware of it. Doom has been unconsciously sabotaging himself from the beginning, because for all his bravado, he doesn't feel like he deserves to win, and this is partly why he has been unable to restore his own face. Except that we now, thanks to the debut of All New All Different Marvel prior to the close of Secret Wars, that he will have his face restored.
