MCU PSA and Status and...Roll-Call?

[redintheledger]

Hey gang!

Just to further clarify a comment I made in another post:

Tl and I have decided, after a few months of discussion, to make our Clint and Natasha AU from the MCU cast in M'ways. This is mostly just so we're free to do our thing post-Avengers should it come up without stepping on anyone else's toes. Of course, they aren't aware of it...yet.

(And Bucky | Alex and young Nataliya are a bit wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey-multiversey - details or M'ways!handwave pending)

But given this, and other pups coming in from different places, I thought it might be a good idea just to open up the post to where everyone else is in various timelines and worlds.

Sooo, guys, where your pups at?

Not part of the MCU, but the XMFC-U, my Hank McCoyis still at Division X before the first successful Cerebro run with Charles. They've had tests but I don't think the actual recruiting has happened yet.

I am going to wait until next month to app Sam Wilson and plan to bring him in at the start of Cap2. Thus I will wait until our Steve (at the very least) gets to that point as them meeting within Milliways before meeting in DC breaks my brain. I am in no rush to play Sam, as I've lots of other loose threads to tie with my other pups, so no worries for me. =]

ETA: When I do bring Sam in, how do you feel about him sort of flirting with Nat? After the interview with Machie where he said each scene with Nat he thought Sam was flirting with Nat, it's sort of become head canon for my voice but Sam is professional enough to tone it down or not express it; i.e. if you don't want me to, I won't have him flirt with your Nat.

Just saw Captain America, will meander theres-a-way to flail in a mo. Anyway.

Jemma Simmons is currently pre-AoS, (and thus pre-Thor2 / pre-CA2), and... idk about worlds. From the same one as Fitz, presumably from the same as May, presumably from the same as Coulson? So much idk.

[thefirststark]

First off...Ashie, you must be aware of the glitch in CA:WS where we're told Natasha is only 30, and yet served in the KGB (defunct with the USSR). Clearly, she is much older than SHIELD's compromised database told even CRT Zola. Which plays right into your hands, yes?

Anyway, Howard remains in 1947, ostensibly helping run the SSR, but probably letting Peggy be the real boss while he's running Stark Industries. Our new Peggy and I need to hash this out. And I can finally see about writing that "Howard is forced to work with Zola" fic that inspired me to app Howard in the first place. The sad truth of Howard's death is so far in the future that I don't need to address it. But might someday.

It is a bit odd knowing that even while Howard and Peggy think things are good, HYDRA is slowly regrouping. It's sort of like being in a Star Wars prequel, where you know that the bad guys win despite all that you do. I wonder how much we will get to find out in canon, from either an Agent Carter series or Age of Ultron.

[splash_of_blue]

Right, so.

Three things about Coulson:

1) He's just pre-Thor in his entrance posts, as I've been waiting to kill him off until canon lets us know how he survived, which (I'm told; I am hilariously behind on AoS) it has now done. So! He will now be slowly but steadily moving through canon, including the ass-hatty Norse god with inappropriately sharp spear. (Ow.)

2) HOWEVER, because I love his tiny Agents of SHIELD kids and general universe-mates with the power of approximately a hundred tantrumming Hulks, he is also scooting through time and space as I require it (and, frankly, as I find it funny). This is so that he can thread plot and various ridiculousness as needed. (Hi, Hill.) He's sticking fairly closely to canon, so this can apply.

3) To aid and allow for point 2, Coulson is from a 'verse where his Captain America has never found Milliways. As I say, he's going to be sticking fairly closely to canon (and Milliways is such a game-changer).

I've been operating under the idea that Fury is from the main MCU universe. I am fully spoiled for AoS the show, but am waiting to see what the heck they're going to do next before I bother trying to incorporate it into my personal timeline.

Fury is about to step up through Cap 1 canon and then shortly after into Avengers, now that we know what happens next.

So far it seems like Fury is sharing a universe with Clint, Natasha, Bucky, Hill, Thor, and Howard Stark. Maybe Peggy as well? (ETA: and Bruce Banner!) I'm not as sure about the AoS people and Cap, as they're coming in from a different time. This may all change!

Please do keep us informed as what y'all are up to. I for one very much enjoy the idea that some of us come from the same universe outside of Milliways.

[silveraspen]

Conveniently, my ex-US-Army-soldier-turned-Soviet-spy-and-assassin-with-HYDRA-influence-in-development is so confused about who he is and his own timeline, I have the flexibility to toss him wherever would be helpful and wherever people are interested in having the Winter Soldier show up.

(I figure between Marvel's own nature and Milliways-ness, there's plenty of room to move.)

He's from the "main" MCU universe, as Fury describes above, but with Earth-616 comics canon strongly influencing backstory and development. I think Steve's also part of this 'verse - at least Bucky considers him to be, and the Steve he knows/knew/may-again-know in Milliways is from the same world as he is.

(Just for the record, Ashie and I have talked about Bucky-Nat-Clint dynamics, given everything, and Clint/Natasha works well in "present" time, so no problems there!)

ETA: Ha ha, whoops, I forgot to explicitly state where he is in canon right now. The Winter Soldier is post-CA1, currently in 1955, and will be moving forward through time and various events over the next few months, headed for CA2.

[spit_it_out]

Bruce is currently post Incredible Hulk, and will very soon be in India for his lead-up to Avengers. He'll be around the bar at least a few times this coming month, for possible in-bar reasons; he's sticking with canon (and is so not surprised to find he was targeted as one of the threats to be taken in in Cap 2), and will hopefully be through Avengers by the end of the summer.

[mjolnir_retriever]

Thor is currently hanging out in the time between the end of Thor and the start of The Avengers, and thus stuck in Asgard except for a) Milliways, or b) serious emergencies big enough to justify the use of enough power to push him between worlds. He'll probably be stuck in that portion of the timeline for a while yet before I get around to doing Avengers. That said, spoilers and timeline hijinks aren't a big deal for him, as long as they don't involve spoilers about specifically what Loki's gonna be up to.

I'm assuming he's from the main MCU universe, and from the same version of it as at least Fury and Darcy and Erik, and others as well unless I know you want to be in a one-step-over AU for that kind of freedom. But I have no problem with surreptitiously diverging AUs from canonmates if at any point it seems useful to do so -- for me or for them, and for actual trousers-of-time canon divergence or just for the OOC freedom to not need to check in too much. I'm easy!

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Steve is pre-Cap 2. It's probably about six months to a year for him prior to the events of the movie. He's just signed up with SHIELD and is getting ready to leave New York for DC.

Steve does have his own, Milliways-influenced timeline. If people want to play in that 'verse, great; if not, I'm good with one-step-over AUs too.

[howdoyoufeel]

After having spoken with Alex on the matter, Peggy is from the same point in time as Howard. She's quite content to be in charge of things and although she's not necessarily supposed to be in the field, I can see her early on still going out in the field. It's just in her nature.

As for Fitz, attached_to_his_pinky, he is indeed from the same timeline as Simmons as I feel that would be quite awkward to have them both from different times. Not that they couldn't work through it, I just would rather see them continue through Millicanon or what have you together.

[fosterscience]

Late to the party, as usual.

Jane has been stuck during the events of Thor for the gods know how long, but she'll be coming in post movie fairly soon. I have no problem with future spoilers up to Thor 2 and Cap2 (haven't seen the latter yet, but I do watch AoS).

Totally late to the party but Shulkie and Siryn are here

[gammagammahey]

Totally late to the party but She-Hulk is here and being played as close to her current comic canon as possible. By the way she'd love to bump into Natasha and Bucky.

Siryn is being played close to her current comic canon except that she didn't get pregnant with Jamie Madrox's baby. I'm ignoring that Jamie-absorbed-mah-baybee nonsense.
