- ↑ 19.0 19.1 19.2 19.3 In The Wakanda Files: A Technological Exploration of the Avengers and Beyond, Arnim Zola talks about Schmidt's descent into madness. Given that Schmidt's madness leads to him taking the imperfect serum, the messages can be taken as being sent close to that date. Around the 1940s, mail usually took around 1-2 business days. With 4 letters, they could be spaced out as November 4, 6, 8 and 10 leading into Schmidt taking the serum on the 11th.

- ↑ In One Bad Day, Lillian says that her father "fought a world war". Based on her age, her father would have been born around the 1920s, meaning it would be World War II he fought in.

- ↑ An article in Iron Man says, "After the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt declared that the United States would build fifty thousand planes to fight the armies of Hirohito and Hitler. Howard Stark answered the call of duty and..." In the real world, Roosevelt made this declaration on May 16, 1940, before the attack on Pearl Harbor. It can therefore be taken that this happened soon after Pearl Harbor and approximated to the next day.

- ↑ Thor: Love and Thunder
- ↑ Chris Hemsworth portrays a young adult Thor in several flashbacks of Thor: Love and Thunder, including two of him running, one of him smiling at a campfire, one of him kissing a Passionist, and one of him kissing a Wolf Woman. Based on Hemsworth's age when filming his appearances as Thor and the rate at which Asgardians age (see details here), these events can be distributed throughout Thor's adulthood prior to the events of Thor, which start in 2010 (see 2010 references). This places the two scenes of him running in July 1670 and June 1738, the campfire in June 1806, the Passionist in June 1874, and the Wolf Woman in June 1942.
