Marvel Shockers: The 5 Most Surprising Marvel Moments of 2024
Starting from 2021, Marvel Comics has been releasing an annual special issue titled Timeless, which provides a glimpse into the future of the Marvel Universe at year’s end. The first issue of Timeless in 2023 hinted at some significant changes that would occur over the next 12 months. For instance, Tombstone assumed control as the new ruler of New York City’s criminal empire (as depicted in Amazing Spider-Man). Professor Xavier, founder of the X-Men, was imprisoned for human rights violations and his mutant school transformed into a detention center for mutants (depicted in X-Men: From the Ashes). Johnny Blaze, the previous Spirit of Vengeance, was replaced by a villain, while Miles Morales, the Wall-crawler, was turned into a vampire after being bitten during a vampiric invasion (as portrayed in Blood Hunt)). Moreover, Doctor Doom seized Doctor Strange’s powers and became the new Sorcerer Supreme (also in Blood Hunt).
