History (What)[]
Multiversal Cycle[]
Earth-166 is part of the HMM cosmos, and but one of the many universes in this (tenth) incarnation of the Multiverse. The cosmos was created by the One Above All, who spawned into the House of Ideas with nothing, and created Aspirants and Celestials to accompany him on his mission of creation. Once the two factions of creators split, the universe was torn asunder and sent into a continuous cycle of rebirth. Each time the cosmos is reborn, it condenses to the size of a nugget, and the new cosmos bursts forth with explosive energy. These nuggets, due to them being signs of past existences lasting forever, have become known as Infinity Stones. Each Stone carries with it, through unknown means, the primary trait or differentiator of its universe, and the ability to control it. These cosmoses, and their evolutions, are as follows:
- First Cosmos: Reality (the initial fabric of creation)
- Second Cosmos: Space (the expanse of the new universe)
- Third Cosmos: Time (through which creation can evolve and change)
- Fourth Cosmos: Entropy (through which new variables can alter and challenge creation)
- Fifth Cosmos: Mind (the first time sentient beings were able to come around)
- Sixth Cosmos: Environment (through which beings can focus their effort to survive)
- Seventh Cosmos: Peace (in which all beings found themselves at the start)
- Eighth Cosmos: Power (the manifestation of which removed the peace)
- Ninth Cosmos: Soul (the presence of which may yet balance the power with the peace)
Current Incarnation (Marvel Age)[]
The tenth incarnation of the universe began with the Big Bang, after which the Beyonders began creating new worlds and galaxies. While waiting for life to form, the Celestials made contact with a survivor of the past cosmos and empowered him to be able to someday strike back against the Beyonders. The first brand new beings in this universe were Galactus and Ego, the Living Planet, followed by the races whose representatives would someday form the Elders of the Universe. Sometime in the first billions of years, the Klyntar were created by Knull to destroy the universe by sucking the vitality out of life as it developed.
General Overview[]
One thing that is important to note about Earth-166 is that it has a fixed timescale, unlike most other Marvel universes. This was established in the late 2000's, when Uncanny X-Factor revealed in an interview that the universe had a 1 to 4 timescale, where one year in the Marvel Universe passed during four of our years. Most chronological inconsistencies were later corrected and amended via retcons to varying degrees of success. On this website, when any Multiverse X page has the abbreviations "R.T." or "C.T.", these stand for "Real Time", i.e. years, months etc. as they have passed in our reality, or "Comic Time", reflecting the in-universe passage of time.
Advanced Timeline (When)[]
First Cosmos[]
- Creation: In the beginning, there was only the One Above All (also known as the Maker). This being's origins remain almost completely unknown to almost everyone in existence, including Himself. He seems to have spontaneously manifested in the House of Ideas, and created the cosmic expanse and the seeds of creation by breaking down one of the walls. Alone in the new universe, and seeking companionship, He created the first Celestial (or the Other), which would also become known as the One Above All. The Other and the One preferred to stay in the House, so He created another being predisposed to explore and operate outside the House: the first Beyonder. The One, relishing the act of creation, urged the Celestial and Beyonder to multiply and create as He did. Once there were several of them, each began creating cosmic objects, races, and beings. A schism formed between the Celestials: blind worshippers who wanted to remain in the infinite potential of the room with their Creator, and creators who sought control of the House to make it synonymous with the universe. Both factions hated the Beyonders for venturing and thinking too far beyond. Seeking to make peace without imposing His will, the One gave a voice to his last remaining creation: the cosmos itself. It contemplated its options, then triggered its own destruction, taking everything with it, then bringing back the House and the Maker, but leaving behind a stone. The One cast out the stone, then remade his work, this time strong enough to survive the universe's destruction, and unable to damage or destroy each other.
Later Cosmoses[]
- Eighth Cosmos: Roughly two billion years before the present day, the first mutants (known as the enriched) evolved, forming a civilization known as the Threshold.

Notes (Why)[]
- The most noteworthy difference about this universe is that it only exists under a different "real" reality in lieu of the universe we inhabit, known as Earth-1218. This universe is known as Earth-1618. Chief among the differences here is that, after the departure of Stan Lee from active work at Marvel, the already born and much older Uncanny X-Factor was brought in to replace him. But also noteworthy is that Marvel never made several critical mistakes that cost it in the long run, including better writer treatment and greater company rights. As such, many of its greatest writers never left to form rival companies, and without this extra competition, the MCU was able to be formed with all the characters Marvel didn't have rights to on Earth-1218. It also meant that characters from the rival companies that would have otherwise been formed, such as Image and Deviant, are instead part of the Marvel label, along with such later obtained characters as Prime and Prototype from the Ultraverse universe.[1]
- DC and Marvel also exchanged the Eternals for the Wildstorm Universe. This was a hush-hush arrangement, so Marvel quietly rebranded its most important Eternals "Titanians," while incorporating strong Wildstorm Universe aspects into already-existing characters. The Eternals, while part of DC, would go on to be characters involved with Darkseid.
- IMPORTANT: A great deal of this reality's history specifically was visualized with the help of ZoomZolomonZoom, and he was a major help in many minor ways for the reality as well, so he deserves more than a shout-out for his assistance. He was a critical part of the success of this project.

Trivia[]
- There are differences that pertain to this universe in the geographic sense, not only in characters and events. Some of these include:
- Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are in each other's geographic location as we know it on Earth-1218. This was done so that Pittsburgh could still be destroyed in the Black Event like in Earth-148611, while having a New York City origin during the fight with Galactus on Earth-616 that ended in Frankie Raye becoming the Herald of Galactus.
- Much of the Californian coast has eroded into the ocean due to Avalanche's manipulation of the San Andreas Fault.
