The timeline of Earth-Prime 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.
Because of the nature of Earth-Prime, many events from its constituent Earths must have also taken place but have not been confirmed to have happened on Earth-Prime specifically. See Timeline of Earth-1, Timeline of Earth-38, and Timeline of Earth-TUD5 to see more events.
