Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Earth X is a Marvel Comics series of books. Based off of ideas by Alex Ross, it was written by Jim Krueger and drawn by John Paul Leon. This was originally created by Ross when asked by Wizard: The Comics Magazine to create a Marvel counterpart for DC Comics' legendary series Kingdom Come.Flash Forward the Marvel Universe circa 1999-or-so 20 years in the future. Aaron Stack, the Machine Man, is awakened by a monolith. The black slab rips away his synthetic skin and human appearance and transports him to a lost city on the moon. There he is greeted by Uatu, The Watcher, who has been blinded. There, Aaron is told that he is to be the new Watcher, and to release all aspirations to be human.Meanwhile on Earth, civilization has crumbled, and prominent heroes as well as villains across the world have risen to power to save their nations. America is under the control of Norman Osborn, the Goblin King. Across the world, people are enslaved to the parasitic Hydra. Tony Stark has armored himself in a sanitary skyscraper. Half of the Fantastic Four are dead. Marching up to the streets of New York is the mysterious Skull, who has built an army by controlling all he meets.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Oh, and everyone (and we mean literally EVERYONE on Earth) has super-powers. Nobody knows why.And thus begins a journey from the dawn of the universe to its twilight, exploring the themes of heroism, empowerment, life, death, afterlife, and the cosmos.The story continues in two other mini-series. In Universe X, the resurrected Captain Mar-Vell teams up with Captain America to help wage war with Death herself as the heroes deal with Earth's magnetic axis being shifted. Finally, in Paradise X, Earth's heroes try to hunt down a new Death as war is preparing to brew within the Negative Zone.In 2019, it was announced that a prequel, Marvels X, will be released.Not to be confused with the DC Alternate Universe that operates under Godwin's law. | |

| Earth X / Comicbook / int_2557e3a9 | comment |
Palette Swap: Costumes in in the afterlife are colored inversely to what they'd be in the world of the living (white becomes black, blue becomes orange, red becomes green, yellow becomes purple etc. and vice-versa). Also, the Venom symbiote somehow became black and red after bonding with May, instead of the usual black and white. | |

Captain Ersatz | |
| Earth X / Comicbook / int_25b5600 | comment |
Captain Ersatz: Hyperion, referred to repeatedly as a "super man". His storyline is meant to be the Alternate Company Equivalent of Kingdom Come, and the expanding Paradise that's devouring the Negative Zone is an affectionate parody of the "white wall" effect in Crisis on Infinite Earths. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Earth X / Comicbook / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Pretty much every character's altered appearance is meant to be a Mythology Gag of some sort. For instance, the fact that half of Namor's body is now on fire is apparently a reference to the original, Golden Age Human Torch. Alex Ross had depicted a fight between Torch and Namor in his Marvels series. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Earth X / Comicbook / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Aaron/X-51 plucks heroes and villains out of alternate realities to warn other Reed Richards' about the growing Celestials in their planets' cores. The Watchers come out of hiding to judge Uatu, and Aaron sends them to alternate worlds (by way of portal-spamming) to let those Earths know that they are being watched, thus setting the infinite war against the Celestials in motion. Another one; Thor, Loki, Dr. Strange and Xen trek to Asgard to find Clea. When they get to Yggdrasil, they find out that she's in Hel. Odin then appears, and they make a deal, trading one of their band in Clea's place (them's the rules). Loki volunteers to be the substitute, but Odin rejects the offer, and chooses to take Thor instead. After returning to earth and killing zombie Fin Fang Foom, Thor teleports back, revealing that he had freed everyone in Hel with a speech, and that was the plan all along. If it was Loki who did it, they wouldn't have believed him. But Thor... who wouldn't believe Thor? As Loki put it; "Ain't I a stinker?" | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| Earth X / Comicbook / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: Word of God from Marvel is that nothing from this series is canon to the mainstream Marvel Universe. Ret-Canon: Except Norman Osborn ruling America, Osborn taking the "Goblin King" moniker during Superior Spider-Man, the detail about the 2001 monolith from Machine Man's origin story was a Celestial gizmonote in the last issue of his 1990's series, the Celestials take him away into space using a monolith, the idea of Earth being a cosmic egg gets brought up in Jonathan Hickman's SHIELD, and infecting Earth's population with the Terrigen Mists to turn everyone into Inhumans has been done twice in the Mainstream universe—during War of Kings and Inhumanity. There's also the tidbit about Death trying to put together one unified Marvel universe from the discarded moments of all the myriad timelines, which is what eventually happens at the end of Secret Wars (2015). The 2018 Avengers series opens with confronting Celestials over their intent for the world. Turns out Earth's mutagenic potential is caused not by a Celestial gestating within it, but a diseased one dying on it. Earth is pretty much a petri dish intended to develop a vaccine to this infection, which the Eternals were meant to safeguard until it fully developed. | |

Doing In the Scientist: The Marvel universe mutants never really squared up with science to begin with, but in this continuity they're the result of experimentation by the godlike Celestials. The above case of killing the wizard is also, oddly, an example of this, because the means by which they became Sufficiently Advanced Alien Shapeshifers is also by Celestial manipulation. | |

Old Superhero | |
| Earth X / Comicbook / int_6aa199f3 | comment |
Old Superhero: Many of Earth's heroes are feeling their years. Particularly egregious cases: Spider-Man (who returns to action in a Halloween costume that can't conceal his spare tire), Mr. Fantastic (bearded, and living as "Dr. Doom" out of guilt), Captain America (still in good shape — time doesn't affect the Super Soldier Serum, it seems — but bald, despondent, and wearing a tattered American flag as a costume), and Wolverine (a drunken slob married to a disgusted Jean Grey). | |

Superman Stays Out of Gotham | |
| Earth X / Comicbook / int_70489c17 | comment |
Superman Stays Out of Gotham: An interesting attempt to justify one of the bigger examples of this in the Marvel Universe; one character suggests that the reason the X-Men and the other superheroes kept on butting heads rather than working together more often is that the major dark forces of the world - strongly implied to include Mephisto, and other such demonic entities - manipulated events to play up anti-mutant prejudices so as to keep them apart. | |

Another one; Thor, Loki, Dr. Strange and Xen trek to Asgard to find Clea. When they get to Yggdrasil, they find out that she's in Hel. Odin then appears, and they make a deal, trading one of their band in Clea's place (them's the rules). Loki volunteers to be the substitute, but Odin rejects the offer, and chooses to take Thor instead. After returning to earth and killing zombie Fin Fang Foom, Thor teleports back, revealing that he had freed everyone in Hel with a speech, and that was the plan all along. If it was Loki who did it, they wouldn't have believed him. But Thor... who wouldn't believe Thor? As Loki put it; "Ain't I a stinker?" | |

Ret-Canon | |
| Earth X / Comicbook / int_c6898a73 | comment |
Ret-Canon: Except Norman Osborn ruling America, Osborn taking the "Goblin King" moniker during Superior Spider-Man, the detail about the 2001 monolith from Machine Man's origin story was a Celestial gizmonote in the last issue of his 1990's series, the Celestials take him away into space using a monolith, the idea of Earth being a cosmic egg gets brought up in Jonathan Hickman's SHIELD, and infecting Earth's population with the Terrigen Mists to turn everyone into Inhumans has been done twice in the Mainstream universe—during War of Kings and Inhumanity. There's also the tidbit about Death trying to put together one unified Marvel universe from the discarded moments of all the myriad timelines, which is what eventually happens at the end of Secret Wars (2015). The 2018 Avengers series opens with confronting Celestials over their intent for the world. Turns out Earth's mutagenic potential is caused not by a Celestial gestating within it, but a diseased one dying on it. Earth is pretty much a petri dish intended to develop a vaccine to this infection, which the Eternals were meant to safeguard until it fully developed. | |

Retcanon: The plot point of Black Bolt releasing the Terrigen Mist across the globe to create a new race of human/Inhuman hybrids was later brought into the mainstream Marvel canon during Infinity and its follow-up, Inhumanity. Other plot points like a female Thor, Norman Osborn in a position of high power over America, and Loki going through a moral identity crisis all became canon storylines. | |

Writer on Board | |
| Earth X / Comicbook / int_e88e8a8f | comment |
Writer on Board: A mild case, but you get the feeling that all involved (especially Alex Ross) really don't like Wolverine. By Paradise X, the hate had severely waned and the creators even note it in the linear notes, giving Logan some un-vitriol. Also, Peter Parker's One True Love was Gwen Stacey, and he only married Mary Jane out of guilt. Explored further in the sequel series, which had Peter Parker's "perfect world" depicted as one where he was married to Gwen with a son named Ben, rather than what happened in his real life where he married MJ and had a daughter May (who was this reality's Venom). Again, another mild case but you do get the feeling that the creators (again, especially Alex Ross) definitely had their own feelings on who Spider-Man's OTP was. | |
