Arrowverse Wiki

The timeline of Earth-1 is a series of significant events listed in chronological order. The timeline is always in a constant flux when a person with access to some form of time travel goes backwards in time and changes events, creating a new timeline from that moment onward, though some events like the big bang are always supposed to happen.

Timelines[]

Original timeline[]

Eobard Thawne appears to come from a timeline that was ultimately erased by the changes he caused to the past. Below are the events post-2000 that happened in this timeline/alternate future, excluding any events that also happen at the same time in later timelines (besides the Crisis of 2024, due to its importance in this timeline). For the timeline(s) that the various Earth-1-based series took place in, see Pre-Flashpoint and beyond.

  • After 2015
    • Eddie Thawne conceives at least one child, carrying on the Thawne bloodline.[1]
  • 2024
    • April 25, after several encounters, Barry Allen/The Flash teams up with Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, Ray Palmer/The Atom and Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl to fight Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash in the streets of Central City, causing the most destruction the city has ever seen. As the sky turns a deep crimson color, several trucks to start leaking their contents onto the streets and power outages spread over 20 blocks throughout the city. The speedsters start battling over two overturned tanker trucks, and the lightning emitted from them causes the oil from one of them to ignite. While surrounded by smoke, the speedsters have a very heated conversation on an unknown matter, then speed off leaving Green Arrow, Atom and Hawkgirl behind. The two then continue their fight up and down an unknown avenue before Flash vanishes without a trace.[5] However, unbeknownst to everyone, they both travel back to the year 2000.
  • Between 2015-2151
    • Eddie Thawne lives an uneventful life in a career of law enforcement, and eventually dies, being forgotten to history and being considered a failure by Eobard Thawne.[10]
    • The Thawne family members between the 21st and 22nd century become influential politicians, esteemed scientists, and captains of industry to a point where the family is chock-full of them and the Thawne legacy is a great and well-remembered one.[10]
    • Cows become extinct.[3]
  • After 2151
    • At some point in his adulthood, Eobard Thawne becomes a scientist, eventually joining academia as a professor and spending years learning the secrets of the Speed Force.[11][12]
    • At some point, Eobard designs the anti-speedster rifle, which would be used by the Legends in a later timeline.[13][14]
    • He becomes a fan of the 21st century Central City superhero known as The Flash, and obsessed with and desiring to be the Flash himself. After years of researching, Eobard learns how the Flash gained his powers and recreates the accident that gave Flash's his powers of super speed, resulting in Eobard gaining super-speed himself and the power of time travel through a connection to the Speed Force.[12]
    • After gaining a Speed Force connection, Eobard, under unclear circumstances, learns that he is destined to become the "Reverse-Flash", the Flash's greatest enemy and not the Flash himself. While it's unclear exactly what transpires, Eobard later speaks of it as though the Flash betrayed him, stating that "nothing is forgiven", and ponders which of them was right to hate the other. This implies that Eobard had an encounter with the Flash, possibly in retribution for future actions Eobard had yet to commit. Whatever the reason, Eobard grows to despise the Flash with every fiber of his being, and makes it his life's work to kill the Flash and prove his superiority as a speedster, indirectly fulfilling his destiny in the process as he descends into insanity. Eobard vows that for everyone Flash saves, Eobard will kill more, every person the Flash loves, Eobard will take from his former idol.[12]
    • He creates a suit similar to The Flash's, but with the inverse colors. He also somehow obtains possession of a Gideon.
    • Eventually Eobard begins researching various moments throughout history to find when The Flash was active. After researching several time periods, Eobard discovers the time in which Flash existed and Thawne travels to the 21st century, arriving on January 26, 2016.[12]
    • After his first encounter with the Flash, he returns to the 21st century again and again, to start a war with the Flash.

She says Oliver needed to embrace the killer instinct he used to torture Shrieve. then drugs Oliver and forces him back on Lian Yu to infiltrate a drug lord's cartel. Shortly after landing, Oliver is found by one of the men but easily kills him. He then dirties his clothes and throws the man's body over a landmine to make it look like he had been stranded the entire four years he was missing and that the man accidentally stepped on a landmine. He easily infiltrates their ranks due to the dead man leaving a vacant position for Oliver to take. He is later forced to torture a slave to psychologically torture the other prisoners who had stolen the drug. After a woman called Taiana Venediktov takes the blame of the stealing, Oliver is tasked to execute her. Instead, he takes her elsewhere to hide her somewhere safe but was accompanied by one other man. This forces Oliver to trick him into stepping onto a mine and Taiana gradually giving him her trust. After showing to Conklin he killed Taiana, Conklin finds Oliver's communication device and starts accusing him as a spy. When they return to Baron Reiter, he is interrogating a man called John Constantine about the maps he had. Before anyone could do anything, John makes a spell to escape from handcuffs and took Oliver to show him the spot on the maps. After he takes John there, John seeks and performs a spell to uncover the hidden passageway, much to Oliver's shock. Once inside, they explore the cave where John explains that there are areas of the world as old as it including Lian Yu, possessing things corrupt men aren't supposed to have such as Reiter. John eventually finds what he seeks and retrieves it but set off a trap which Oliver saves him from being killed by, insisting he's not one of Reiter's men. After exiting the cave John thanks Oliver for saving his life and breaks off the crystal off the rod to give to Reiter, as the rod itself is what contains the magic. John also warns Oliver about Reiter, insisting his narcotics aren't his only interest for being on the island. As insurance John also uses the rod to transfer a spell on his arm onto Oliver's torso, insisted he will know what to do when the time comes and on Oliver's request, John punches him out cold as part of his "escape" and leaves on his boat, but the two will keep in contact. After Oliver takes Reiter and Conklin to the cave, where he and John found the Orb of Horus, Reiter tasks Oliver to find out the spot the runes tells him about with some workers. Conklin goes with him and tasks Taiana's brother Vlad to drown Oliver. Oliver manages to kill him before that and he went back to Reiter with Conklin. Baron Reiter manages to find out the truth from Conklin and after they go away, Oliver steals a map from him. He then punishes Conklin by whipping him and goes to Taiana with the maps and news about her brother. He encourages Taiana to help him stop Reiter, by first going to the Amazo, to find maps that covered the whole Lian Yu. He fights with a shark after diving to get the maps, but after coming back to land, Conklin appears, promising to enjoy taking pieces out of him. Conklin then takes Oliver and Taiana to Reiter, who allows Conklin whip Oliver as a payback. Before Conklin can kill Oliver, the tattoos John gave him start to glow near the Orb of Horus and Reiter makes Conklin stop. Oliver makes a deal with Reiter, as long as Taiana would stay alive, he would cooperate. Conklin took them to an old Chinese cell where they keep the prisoners and there Taiana starts to heal Oliver from his fever and wounds. Reiter will then torture Oliver to find out why he needed the maps from Amazo. Oliver passes out from the torture and the fever and hallucinates that Shado will kill Reiter, his men and save him. Shado encourages Oliver to let go of his inner darkness and tell the truth about Vlad to Taiana. After waking up from the fever, Oliver told the truth about Vlad to Taiana and noticed he had the artifact in his hand from the hallucination. Taiana takes the artifact from him and tried to use it as leverage to get out from the sell. Reiter takes the artifact from her and forces her to take care of Oliver. She does that and they start talking about the losses in their life. Taiana tells him that he can be the man his father wishes, by saving the workers from Reiter, but can't do that as lost, shattered man. Oliver promises her that he would save the workers. Baron Reiter later informs Oliver and Taiana that the stone was the last piece to his puzzle and they will dig at daybreak as the Heaven he seeks is below them.

  • 2011
    • Oliver sets with the Slam cultivators to kill Conklin in order to prove that he was there to save them and take out Reiter. After Conklin was left alone watching over Oliver when Reiter departed from his office, he noticed Oliver attempting to stab him through his reflection in the mirror and engaged in a fight, vowing to kill Taiana after he is done with Oliver. During the fight, Oliver stabbed Conklin in the chest as he warned Oliver that Reiter was going to kill everyone on the island before dying. The following day a passage is discovered that leads to Reiter's desired "ultimate power" but a primordial energy takes the form of the deceased Conklin, standing in front of the cave entrance and spoke in tongues that everyone was going to die. After Reiter left Taiana and Oliver alone in the room the force, noticing the spell on Oliver's torso, deemed him worthy to pass before disappearing.In the depths of the cave, Oliver, Taiana, Reiter and two of his mercenaries, finally succeed in finding the Khushu Idol, a mystical object that allows the user to tap into the power of dark magic harnessing him enhanced physical attributes and psychic abilities by killing others. Oliver steals it and runs off into the tunnels with Taiana followed by Reiter's mercenaries, which they managed to incapacitate acquiring their guns. However, the path they took lead nowhere so they had to return to the cave where they came from. Reiter waited them there and due to the Idol, he was empowered by the deaths of his mercenaries and managed to defeat Oliver when he tried to fight him.His powers soon vanished and Oliver took the opportunity to knock him out and rushed to Taiana who was unconscious. While Oliver checked on Taiana, Reiter managed to disappear meanwhile with the idol. Taiana started to have second thoughts to kill Reiter's men while looking and old picture of her and Vlad. Oliver encouraged her again, telling that he used to watch picture of Laurel to remember who he once was, but stopped since he wouldn't survive on Lian Yu and neither would Taiana by being the person they once were. Coming back to the prison side, Taiana tricked Reiter's men to the caves where Oliver shot them and distracted the remaining ones while Taiana free the prisoners. They armed themselves to kill all Reiter's mercenaries and trapped Reiter in the caves. While having a brief break, Oliver showed Laurel's picture to Taiana, and they both promised to each other that if one of them wouldn't survive, the other would go to his/her loved ones and tell what happened on the island. While coming back to the surface, the island had changed to a war zone between the armed prisoners and Reiter's men. Oliver took his communication gear that Conklin had taken and more weapons to fight Reiter. He told the others to go to the plane while leaving himself to fight Reiter.A few hours later, Reiter came to the surface empowered by the idol even more and while Oliver tried helplessly to fight him, Reiter's powers made him too powerful while Oliver's efforts being too "mortal". With the help of Taiana, Oliver managed to keep Reiter down by shooting constantly with an assault rifle, while Taiana took the idol with her. They ran to the forest but after wandering in the forest for few hours, the idol started to affect Taiana, giving her powers while also corrupting her.Continuing their journey, two of Reiter's men found them and shot Oliver and Taiana. While Oliver was pushed back, Taiana was unfazed and mercenaries death made her even more powerful and corrupt. Oliver tried to talk her out of using the Idol too much, but Taiana didn't listen to him. They found some prisoners fighting mercenaries and after taking them out, Taiana wanted to kill a harmed prisoner, since it would make her more powerful. Oliver tried again to talk some sense to her, but she didn't listen and threw Oliver away. He then took the idol from her, claiming that she would have to kill him if she wanted it back. However Reiter appeared, claiming to kill them both.While they started to fight, Reiter destroyed the plane that the prisoners had used to escape the island, empowering him and Taiana even more. However, Taiana managed to suck Reiter's life-force and make him vulnerable. Oliver then threw a knife to his back, killing Reiter. Taiana managed to take control of herself and pledged Oliver to kill her before she kills everyone on the island and becomes worse than Reiter; Oliver fulfils her wish and the prisoners saw him, claiming he is a killer. Oliver however, manages to talk them down and calls on Amanda Waller and A.R.G.U.S. to save them. After they had come, Amanda says how the mission was never to make Oliver reject his inner darkness but to put him through it and show how sometimes killing can be the only option there is. She tries to recruit Oliver for different missions across the globe but he rejects, saying he has to keep his promise to Taiana.

      • Erased Timeline: In a timeline that diverged from November 25, 2014 (which seemingly didn't have a Flash), the United States Postal Service (USPS) shuts down permanently due to increasing violence in Central City (Earth-1) & also competition from other deliveries.[96]
  • 2080
  • At some point in the 22nd century
  • 2133
    • The Kasnia robotics laboratory is opened.
  • 2147
    • Vandal resided in the Kasnia Conglomerate where he served as an advisor to the late Tor Degaton, and tutored his son Per Degaton. Vandal's true aim however, was to use the advanced technology of Kasnia, in order to establish the foothold of his future global empire across Earth (Earth-1). He also sought to use their secret weapon the "Armageddon virus" to downsize the world's population, and prime it for his own personal conquest with far less threats to contend with. To achieve this, Vandal manipulated and corrupted Per's mind, raising him to be ruthless and cold; and to one day succeed his father Tor by murdering him, and would dictate his own desires through Per, who was his intermediate proxy. However, Vandal always sought to take power from Per when the time was right, but Per truly believed Vandal considered him a son. At some point during his stay in Kasnia, he sired a daughter named Cassandra, raised with an unnamed woman.
    • Current timeline: After a meeting with Tor where Vandal failed yet again to persuade him to use the virus, Per was abducted by Rip and his team. Savage met with Tor to discuss this and offered his assistance as he'd faced the abductors before. Savage lead a squad of soldiers and A.T.O.M. robots on Tor's orders to disable the Waverider but they were soon faced with the Atom, Hawkgirl, White Canary, Firestorm and Captain Cold. During the fight Savage apprehended White Canary and threatened to kill her but offered to trade her in exchange for Rip, but Rip appeared and offered the same deal but in exchange for Per's life. Per begged his father not to give in and to eliminate them now to which Vandal agreed on but Tor consented to Rip's terms, and after Per was released so was White Canary and the team were able to escape unharmed. Shortly afterwards, Vandal was visited by Per, who Savage told a story from Greek mythology of a prince who was exiled by his father, in fear of a prophecy foretelling the prince murdering him coming true; only for the son to survive and return years later to fulfill the prophecy (that is, the king died in the end!). Vandal then handed Per a knife and persuaded him that his father will make the same mistake and convinces him to murder his father. As a result of Tor's inadvertent death, Per was elected the new chairman, but due to him being currently underage, he elected Vandal to be his proxy. For his first action as stand-in leader, Vandal ordered the release of the Armageddon virus and killed billions, including Savage's wife (who was Cassandra Savage's mother). This led the planet Earth (Earth-1) ripe for conquest.
  • 2151
    • This was originally the year that Eobard Thawne was to be born. However, because of Eddie Thawne's suicide in 2015, he erased the entire Thawne family's descendants from existence, including Eobard himself.
  • 2152
    • Original timeline: In 2152, when Per was 19, he finally succeeded his father as leader of Kasnia and, on Vandal's insistence, unleashed the Armageddon virus which killed billions of people, including Savage's wife/Cassandra Savage's mother, and leaving the world prime for conquest. When this occurred, Vandal betrayed Per and murdered him to take his seat of power and become Kasnia's leader himself. Vandal would make Kasnia the foothold of his future empire, however, since Rip's actions changed these events and unleashed the Armageddon virus 5 years earlier, most of these events happened in 2147 instead.
    • Current timeline: While Per Degaton was at the height of his power in Kasnia Conglomerate, Vandal killed him during a battle to seize the country for himself. This also made Savage appear as a hero to those who believed that unleashing the virus was Per Degaton's idea alone, including his daughter Cassandra.

    • After stopping the Rival which got Wally into a coma-like state, Barry realizes that this timeline has made everyone else's lives worse and decides to reset the timeline with Eobard Thawne. However, because his memories are fading quickly due to using his speed in this timeline, Barry is unable to do so, and Eobard corrects the timeline himself.

Post-Flashpoint timeline[]

This is the timeline that Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash, who was imprisoned in Flashpoint, and Barry Allen/The Flash created after Barry realized the mistake he made in creating Flashpoint. The Post-Flashpoint timeline is almost equal to the Pre-Flashpoint timeline, only with some changes and with Eobard living as a time remnant, due to his Pre-Flashpoint actions still being intact in this timeline. Thus, only events that did not also happen in the Pre-Flashpoint timeline will be listed here. For more information about the changes between the post and the pre-Flashpoint timeline, see here.

Before each encounter, Savitar would use the Philosopher's Stone's power to possess a person to use a medium under the "Alchemy" alias, to prepare for arrival, by creating meta-humans for him to command.[109]

    • With the help of Supergirl and Superman, Oliver and Barry managed to take a hold of their new abilities and returned to their home universe, taking care of the dangers to their respective cities, including A.M.A.Z.O. and various (petty) crimes. Cisco Ramon managed to vibe John Deegan's conversation with the Monitor, and showed his vision to Oliver and Barry, allowing Oliver to recognize the general area as Gotham and speed-sketch the portraits of Deegan and Novu.
    • Assisted by Kate Kane/Batwoman, the superheroes figured out the link between Deegan and the discrepancies in the timeline, especially after their suspicions were confirmed by Barry Allen managing to send a message through the multiverse to Earth-38, notifying A.R.G.U.S. that the Book of Destiny was the key to the Elseworlds. Although Deegan slipped away, Supergirl managed to take the Book of Destiny with her. Afterwards, Barry Allen from Earth-90 appeared before the heroes through a breach/in the flesh, and explained the Elseworlds phenomenon, just as Mar Novu appeared on the Channel 52 (Earth-1) news. He congratulated the heroes on their first successes in finding the book, but immediately teleported it back to his hands and sent Flash-90 away to an unknown destination. He then teleported to John Deegan and gave him the book once again, asking to think big, beyond mere dreams (such as only swapping two lives), and thus to make more drastic changes to reality (such as giving himself superpowers).

Second Elseworlds reality created by John Deegan. Instead of the former, this reality has more extreme changes to the normal timeline and is thus non-canon to the current timeline.
