Along the chronological spine
Where the guide talks about them (3)
The TVA determines that the Fox universe (Earth-10005) is dying because its anchor being — Logan — died in Logan. The universe is scheduled for erasure. The villain is Cassandra Nova, Xavier's twin sister, exiled to the Void — the junkyard reality at the end of time where the TVA dumps pruned timelines. There they find survivors of discarded franchises: Elektra, Blade, Gambit, X-23, and the Human Torch from the 2000s Fantastic Four films.
Set in a separate universe with a retro-futurist 1960s aesthetic, not on Earth-616. Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm have been public heroes for four years following a cosmic-radiation accident.
