1970s

"These timelines are so confusing." The specific order and/or accurate dates presented in this article may be unconfirmed. They have been inferred by fans and therefore they can be inaccurate, incomplete, or biased.

Deadpool & Wolverine uses the designation Earth-10005 for the revised timeline, which is the same designation used for the original timeline. As such, the wiki is currently operating on the basis that Wolverine overwrote the same timeline without creating a branch. Despite the overwrite, certain pages have been marked with "/Revised Timeline" to distinguish events that occurred pre-timeline rewrite with those that occurred post-rewrite.

For the post-Days of Future Past version, see 1970s.
