Chronology

Comments

Issue #

21st Century

Convergence, pre-Flashpoint: When the multiverse is rewritten due to "Flashpoint," Brainiac plucks Clark Kent and Lois Lane from the dying reality and places them in a self-contained reality, on a world called Telos. Superman is deprived of his powers and Lois becomes pregnant.

Convergence: Superman #1 (July 2015)

On Telos, Clark Kent and Lois Lane have a son, Jonathan Samuel Kent. Note: This was Jonathan's first appearance in print. The story is no longer in continuity, retconned by the events of "Superman Reborn."

Convergence: Superman #2 (July 2015)

The New 52 Superman dies from kryptonite poisoning and from absorbing a dangerous amount of energy. His body flares with energy that infuses (the New 52) Lana Lang and Lois Lane (who became "Superwomen"), and Kong Kenan in China (the "New Superman").

Superman vol. 3 #52 (July 2016)

Rebirth

Lois and Clark retreat to Superman's Arctic Fortress of Solitude in preparation for the birth of their son, Jonathan Samuel Kent. They take sabbaticals from the Daily Planet (and the Justice League) and move to California. About a year later, they return to their former duties and relocate to rural Hamilton County, north of Metropolis. Notes: This Action Comics story retcons the Convergence tale of Jon's birth. The Superman: Clark & Lois mini-series takes place in Salinas, California.

Superman: Clark & Lois #1 (Dec. 2015), Action Comics #978, (June 2017)

Rebirth: Clark Kent and Lois Lane move to the Smith Farm in Hamilton County, 300 miles north of Metropolis. At the age of 10, Jon's heat vision manifests and he accidentally kills his cat. His super-hearing is also developing.

Superman vol. 4 #1 (Aug. 2016)

Superman introduces his son Jon to the Justice League as Superboy. Note: In New 52 continuity, there were two prior Superboys, a son of Superman from the future, and his clone. The pre-Flashpoint Superboy (Conner Kent, also a clone) also returned in Young Justice vol. 3 #1 (Mar. 2019).

Superboy uses freeze breath for the first time. He is taken by the Batman to the Batcave, where he meets Robin (Damian Wayne) and his ally, Nobody.

Part 4: Two versions of Superman and Lois Lane (pre- and post-Flashpoint) are essentially merged into one, and Superman's history and reality realigns more closely to his pre-Flashpoint experiences. Notes: Many flashbacks reference pre-Flashpoint Superman events, suggesting that much his earlier history has been reinstated. This retroactively eliminates the New 52 Superman (though some of his adventures are merged in with revised continuity). Clark, Lois and Jon do not remember any other existences, but do remember their "odd" encounter with Mxyzptlk. The resulting Superman, however, has never met the Legion of Super-Heroes.

To prevent it from happening again, they call together representatives from planets across the galaxy and suggest the formation of a United Planets.

The Future

LEGION of Super-Heroes: MILLENNIUM

Rose Forrest meets the President — Supergirl. The medication that suppresses her alter ego, Thorn, is being discontinued and she fears what Thorn will do.

Legion of Super-Heroes: Millennium #1 (Nov. 2019)

2039: The Thorn meets Terry McGinnis, the Batman who succeeds Bruce Wayne (but she had hoped he was the original Batman). Note: There are several versions of "Batman Beyond." The television show debuted on January 10, 1999, on Kids' WB. The character's first in-comic appearance was Batman Beyond #1 (Mar. 1999). That world has also been identified as Earth-12 (in Countdown and elsewhere). McGinnis also appeared in the canonical future of Earth-0, in Batman #700 (Aug. 2010, which was pre-New 52).

Legion of Super-Heroes: Millennium #1 (Nov. 2019)

The Great Disaster: The Thorn steals the uniform of the original Superman from Kamandi and his friend, Ben Boxer. Note: Kamandi first appeared in Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth #1 (Oct. 1972). This event echoes those from Kamandi #29–30 (May–June 1975). No concrete date was ever definitively established for the era of "Earth A.D." (After Disaster), but it was considered non-canonical to Earth-One. Superman #295 (Jan. 1976), Karate Kid #15 (July/Aug. 1978) and Kamandi #58 (Aug./Sept. 1978) all assert that Kamandi’s era was an alternate version of the 30th Century in which the Legion of Super-Heroes never comes to be. However, other stories from the same period (including the 1975–1977 Hercules Unbound) suggest that the Great Disaster takes place in the near future, after an atomic war, implying that Kamandi’s time is the mid-to-late 21st Century. Post-Infinite Crisis continuity placed these characters on Earth-51 (Countdown #19-13, 2007–2008).

Legion of Super-Heroes: Millennium #1 (Nov. 2019)

The Thorn applies to Tommy Tomorrow to become a part of the Planeteers, space adventurers. Note: Tomorrow first appeared in Real Fact Comics #6 (Jan. 1947), then regularly in Action Comics between 1948–58. His adventures were said to be 50–100 years in the future. Crisis on Infinite Earths #12 (Mar. 1986) and History of the DC Universe #2 (1987) asserted that in the post-Crisis timeline, the boy who would otherwise have become Kamandi was rescued from Command D by Gen. Horatio Tomorrow of the Planeteers and became Tommy Tomorrow.

Legion of Super-Heroes: Millennium #1 (Nov. 2019)

2462, Gotham City: Thorn meets security guard Michael Jon Carter (the future Booster Gold) at the Space Museum. Note: Booster Gold first appeared in Booster Gold #1 (Feb. 1986). Date from Booster Gold #6 (July 1986). The Space Museum first appeared in Strange Adventures #104 (May 1959), which also established that it was “one of the wonders of the 25th Century.”

Legion of Super-Heroes: Millennium #2 (Dec. 2019)

Thorn challenges OMAC (Buddy Blank) to find solutions beyond violence, then she/Rose Forrest ventures into space. Note: OMAC first appeared in OMAC #1 (Oct. 1974). In all previous OMAC stories, the character was set in times before Kamandi's. No definitive date was ever established for OMAC’s era, described in the original series only as "The World That’s Coming!" However, Kamandi #50 (April/May 1977) established that OMAC’s alter ego Buddy Blank was the grandfather of Kamandi. Then in post-Crisis reconfiguring, in Who’s Who, OMAC was also made the grandfather of Tommy Tomorrow. Post-Infinite Crisis, Buddy Blank was also the grandfather of the boy who became Kamandi on Earth-51 (Countdown, 2007–2008), although that story was set in the present day.)” The OMAC backup series beginning in Kamandi #59 asserted that OMAC tales took place 60 years before Kamandi.
