- ↑ In The End is at Hand, Brandon Gamble mentions of his 0-8-4 package in 1983, "That one belonged to my grandfather who was SSR. Been in my family for decades." The SSR existed between February 1940 (see 1940s references) and December 1949 (see 1940s references), so (assuming it is the same in the History Altered by the Chronicoms timeline) using the midpoint of its existence as an approximation, the grandfather may be taken to have received the package around January 1945, fitting as "decades" before 1983.

- ↑ Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Season 7 shows events in an alternate timeline, but one where events up to 1955 are only altered in small ways by the Chronicoms and agents. Therefore, Gideon Malick can be taken to have been born at the same time in both timelines.
Based on Powers Boothe's approximate age at the times of filming The Avengers and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Season 3 and working back from the setting of his scenes, Malick would have been born around October 1948. Based on Cameron Palatas' approximate age at the times of filming Paradise Lost and A Trout in the Milk and working back from the setting of his episodes, Malick would have been born around March 1948. With more flexibility on the older Malick's age, a weighted calculation would suggest Malick was born around May 1948 (in both timelines). - ↑ In Alien Commies from the Future! and Out of the Past, Daniel Sousa's breakup with Peggy Carter is alluded to. Given the History Altered by Chronicoms timeline is almost identical to the main timeline up to 1955, it may be taken that it occurred on the same date in the History Altered by Chronicoms timeline as in the main timeline: July 12, 1948 (see 1940s references).
