MCU-muns, Assemble!

[redintheledger]

Hey guys!

There are a couple more of us now, and some timeline shenanigans, so I thought it might be an idea for us all to mention where and when our characters are from.

(And if people are in odd times, maybe we can hash out basic character-interactions, or guidelines for dealing with the timeline mess?)

Greetings from the past! Howard is currently in March 1944, and will be staying in that pivotal year for a while longer, till after D-Day (because you can't ignore D-Day, even if your pup isn't part of the invasion). I plan to jump him ahead over the end of Captain America and into 1946 and the Cold War.

BTW, Aspen and Jenna, any thoughts on whether the public knows about Cap's death? I have some ideas about this. (Ashie, I know you dropped Peggy, but if you gave that question any thought, your input is welcome, too.)

Also, I would love to know if Nick Fury's mun has any ideas about when he and Howard met. (I have no plans to say that Howard was a SHIELD agent in the 50s, a la the short lived comic by Hickman, mainly because I just don't care for Hickman's work, sad to say.)

Hello from various points in the space-time continuum! I just had the idea of Cold War!Natasha and Howard meeting sometime, even if briefly (although it'd be after the late 50s, because that's when Natasha is being a field agent). Interested?

Re: Steve's death, I hadn't given it much thought, but I figured it'd be post-war? During the war, they need the morale-boost too much. But that's just my vague opinion.

Wow, Natasha is older than she looks. But as so is Nick, why not?

It sounds like an interesting idea. I just need to figure out how involved Howard would be with SHIELD. In the comics, even though Tony Stark of the 60s was busy being Tony Stark and Iron Man, he found time to help found SHIELD, so I can easily see that idea transferred to Howard. When Howard isn't busy helping with the early space program or developing reliable ICBMs.

She is! I decided to go "fuck it" and have M'ways Natasha born in 1928, as per comics (although a lot else of her comics origin I'm tossing out the window), so she's been serum'd and has decades of fun. Different things to explore than when I fic her.

*nodnodnods* makes sense! And if they end up interacting, it need not have to be about SHIELD - it could be a party where she's there being a Soviet spy, or something else to do with his work (or someone else's). I'm pretty flexible, and whatever it might be, it won't happen for a while.

But ahaha, yeah, working out comics-timeline vs MCU is fun.

Re: Cap's death: I assume it is made known, though probably not until some time after the plane went down. IIRC there's a memorial to Cap in the comics in Arlington Cemetery, which is something I'd like to deal with at some point.

That's one of my questions too.

I'm choosing to keep as quiet as I can about Fury's past and hope desperately for some more canon. I'm not optimistic, though.

I have theories, which I will happily discuss with you if you like. But I won't millicanon them yet.
