Board Thread:FanonCon Panels/@comment-4588264-20160704012025

Hey guys, welcome to my panel! Now, I realize this is late, so please pardon my mistiming. The main topic of priority is, as you may have noticed from the title of this thread, Marvel's Rebirth (Earth-5919). Today I'm going to give you all the low down on what exactly it is, unveil some brand new titles, and inform what's coming to Marvel Fanon.

What is Marvel Rebirth?
Marvel Rebirth is a completely transformed Marvel universe. For those of you who are also DC fans, think the Flashpoint Paradox. Characters are not who you think they are, origins have been changed, and the world itself has been altered. Originally, this was going to be a movie, then a TV series, and then a movie franchise, but I realized the best way to do this was put it into comic books. So, here's the starter comic line up:


 * Marvel Rebirth #1
 * Rebirth of Captain America #1
 * Rebirth of Spider-Man #1
 * Rebirth of The Hulk #1
 * Captain America vs Iron Man: Rebirth  #1
 * Rebirth of The Avengers #1
 * N-Man #1

What exactly are the changes that have been made? Why is Captain America fighting Iron Man? Who is the N-Man? Well, you'll have to check them out to find out. Expect each to roll around through summer to fall.

Rebirth?
Now, here's the big unveiling. Marvel Rebirth has its title not only because it is a rebirth of a universe changed completely, but because it brings in characters and elements that are quite literally reborn. To throw in for excitement and to give an example of what to expect when I say the word Rebirth, I would like to begin with Peter Parker from The Amazing Spider-Man franchise. I loved the movie franchise, and quite honestly, I wanted a third sequel. But, because the MCU had bigger plans, it was cancelled. The Amazing Spider-Man's Earth was in many ways destroyed. So what happens to certain characters when their earth disappears from existence? They get reborn. In Marvel Rebirth, we won't be seeing the exact Peter Parker we knew from The Amazing Spider-Man. Instead, we'll be seeing the character Peter Parker, refitted into the new timeline of Earth-5919. Therefore, his timeline is changed to match with that of the prime Rebirth earth. The characters that go through what is called "The Rebirth effect" (a sequence where earths are abandoned or in context, erased, and the universe takes certain characters and hands them to Earth-5919, what you can call the redirect page of the multiverse) are most often renamed, and their origins are altered, yet vaguely similar to their previous origins. As such, they still retain memories from their previous timeline, such as high school or elementary school. So in this case, it's pretty much Peter Parker (under his new name) but who doesn't grow up to become Spider-Man. That doesn't mean they aren't destined to go under a new mantle, though. So in all, Rebirth brings back characters from erased earths, but reshapes them to fit into the events of their new timeline.

With that in mind, prepare for some exciting appearances. In fact, I'll even announce another earth that is going to get the Rebirth treatment - Earth 26496 aka Spectacular Spider-Man.

And the best part of it is, you guys can tell me who you would like to see in the future reshaped into Earth 5919. They won't all appear at once, but every so often, they'll be placed in an issue or so. Eventually, these individual characters may even become something bigger. But we'll have to see. ;)

Conclusion
Hope you guys enjoyed the special announcement! Please stay tuned to the Rebirth page for more, as well as more updates in the very near future! Thank you!
