This is a timeline of events that occurred before 2024 in a universe where Gamma Beasts invaded Earth.
Banner rests against a tree, struggling to catch his breath. Wilson checks on him and introduces himself, saying he recognized Banner. Banner explains that cardio is a good stress reliever and that he had tried many things. Wilson asks if Banner ever tried talking to someone and suggests he join Wilson's support group.[2][3]
2nd[]
Bruce Banner attends a meeting of the District of Columbia Support Group. He shares that the worst part of Hulk taking over is the people being afraid of him, which makes him feel lonely. Sam Wilson assures Banner that no one in the group is afraid of him. Banner gets up to leave, and Wilson realizes that he could do more to help Banner as a friend than as a counselor. He places his hand on Banner's shoulder.[2][3]
Sam and Sarah Wilson take Bruce Banner out on the Paul & Darlene. Banner compliments the boat and asks for another drink, but they get distracted by a sudden storm coming. Sam and Sarah attempt to secure the boat, but a large piece of metal flies toward Sarah. Banner pushes Sarah out of the way, but gets hit, transforming into Hulk despite Sam's efforts to calm him down. Banner breaks the floor of the boat as Sam tries to get through to him. Horrified, Hulk, turns around and jumps away despite Sam's pleas.[2][3]
10th[]
Still ashamed of Hulk, Bruce Banner decides to try overloading his body with Gamma Radiation. However, Banner transforms into Hulk and separates from a new monster, Apex. Hulk passes out while Apex grows, destroying the building. Apex walks through the city and spawns several Gamma Beasts, destroying the helicopters flying at him.[2][3]
The Avengers realize that fighting the Gamma Beasts would require large armors, so Tony Stark starts building them.[2][3]
Attack on the Gamma Beasts: Inspired by the deaths of the Avengers, a new group of heroes become inspired to attack the Gamma Beasts, chasing the beasts and killing what they believe to be all of them. However, Apex survives in the body of the ocean and begins creating more Gamma Beasts.[2][3]
21st[]
Horrified by the results of his actions, Bruce Banner flees and goes into isolation in the Astra Islands, finding an abandoned government project which he turns into a laboratory. He begins developing a protocol for various armors to merge into one Mighty Avenger should Banner become an unstoppable threat.[2][3]
↑ 1.01.1Sometimes the Marvel Cinematic Universe alludes to events that happened in our world, and it is assumed they happen on the same dates in the universe, for timeline purposes.
↑ 3.003.013.023.033.043.053.063.073.083.09In What If... The Hulk Fought the Mech Avengers?, the starting point for history going differently is shown to be Bruce Banner meeting Sam Wilson in a parallel to when Steve Rogers met Wilson in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. These events can be taken to have happened on the same day as in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, placing them on March 1, 2014 (see 2014 references). It can then be approximated that Wilson and Banner went out on Wilson's boat a short time later, suggesting it occurred approximately March 9, 2014. Apex's birth was an immediate reaction to the boat scene, so it can be taken to be the next day. Approximating a brief period of time for the Avengers' mech suits to be built, it can be approximated that the Avengers were killed on March 17, and that the new Avengers team picked up fighting immediately and defeated the gamma beasts the following day before they could rebuild their forces, March 18, 2014. A title card places the main events of the episode “Ten Years After the Gamma War.” A weighted calculation places these events on April 22, 2024.
↑In What If... The Hulk Fought the Mech Avengers?, a young girl refers to Go-Avenger: Heroes of the Gamma War as an "old show" in approximately April 2024 (see 2024 references). It fictionalizes events which happened in March 2014 (see other references), meaning it must have occurred between then and when the line is said. Given this is only a ten year period, the show must have released within the first third of this time period. It can be approximated that it released at the midpoint of this period, September 19, 2015.
↑In What If... The Hulk Fought the Mech Avengers?, Bruce Banner says, "It's been years since I've had an incident." This can refer to a minimum of two years, and can have happened any time after he left to live in the Astra Islands on March 21, 2014 (see other reason). This event can be approximated to the midpoint of these dates, April 5, 2018.
