Doomsday And Secret Wars' “Beginning” Theme Has A Basis In The Comics, But Not Marvel’s
GivenAvengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Wars' multiversal plot, the two movies are likely to lead into a multiversal reboot that will streamline Marvel’s infinite collection of parallel realities and possibly retcon several characters and events to leave all Marvel characters in one place. Such an extensive overhaul has been a comic book staple for decades. Curiously though,multiversal reboots are a regular occurrence in DC Comics, while Marvel’s comic book timeline has never restarted from scratch.
