Hello everyone, and welcome to the first semi-annual Marvel FanCon! I’m Next X-Man, and this is my panel on Earth-166. As you might have noticed, this reality’s number is a mix of 616. That is because it’s my Earth-616. It’s going to be my main reality from this point on, which means it will get the most of my attention and planning.

So far, I’ve only planned the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Guardians of the Galaxy. The Avengers have some minor development as well. This has created some problems, which brings me some sad news.

Ladies and gentlemen, in order for this, the most awesome of realities, to survive and thrive, another reality must be sacrificed. One I’ve put much work into, and you the public didn’t see much of. Earth-5 will meet its end in the coming days. This is something that I choose to see as a good thing: as it fills holes in both realities that might not have been fixed otherwise. This will bring some better changes, including changing a certain Alexander to Arno. I also intend to keep many rosters from that universe, among them the Dark Avengers, Young Avengers (albeit revamped), West Coast Avengers, Guardians, X-Force, the Thunderbolts, and the Defenders.

But to start, the Fantastic Four, as in 616, are gone. They were chosen by an unknown deity believed to be the One Above All. They became the elements, after abandoning their lives. But they were replaced, just like in Earth-616. Firestar, Justice, Cage, and Pym step up to protect the public as the new Fantastic Four.

The X-Men are basically the same. But assuming that Cyclops was taken by the Shi’ar for his advanced genetic signature, Havok survived with no harm done, but he became a founding X-Man in his brother’s place. This led the group down a similar path, but cost them similar members, such as the world terrorist Storm and eventually a steel-skinned fellow. Who he is, though, I shan’t say.

So hopefully this is a good taste of what’s to come, 166 should be a new experience for myself and others for how mainstream it is. Thanks for attending, I’m Next X-Man, stepping off.
