SUBJECT: CONTINGENCY PLAN ALPHA-ZULU: Post-Event Analysis of the “Doomsday” Scenario.
This document serves as both a briefing and a historical record. The events leading to and following the temporal-spatial anomaly designated AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY represent an Extinction-Level Event (ELE) of a nature previously thought theoretical. What follows is a synthesis of all intelligence, from mystical premonitions to quantum forecasts, outlining the inevitable, the potential survivors, and the faint hope for a future.
1.0 SITUATION REPORT: The Pre-Doomsday Battlefield
The conflict designated THE KANG DYNASTY was not a war in any conventional sense. It was a multi-front temporal assault led by the entity known as Kang the Conqueror and his innumerable variants. Our initial assessment was flawed. We prepared for an army. We faced a pandemic of reality itself.
Status of Key Assets & Personalities:
- The Temporal Locus: The Sacred Timeline is a fractured concept. Incursion events, where two universes collide and annihilate each other, are no longer rare anomalies. They are metastatic. The rate of decay is exponential.
- The Avengers Initiative: The unit is decentralized, operating as independent cells. Morale is low following catastrophic losses in The Kang Dynasty. The belief that “we can do this all day” is being tested against the unyielding physics of cosmic entropy.
- Allied Forces: Wakanda, New Asgard, and the Sorcerers of Kamar-Taj are on high alert, but their power is localized. The threat is universal.
Conclusion: The victory over Thanos was a battle. The conflict with Kang is a diagnosis. The universe is terminally ill. AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY is the name we have given to its final, feverish crisis.
2.0 THE DOOMSDAY MECHANISM: Three Potential Cataclysms
Our analysts have modeled three primary “Doomsday” scenarios, any of which could form the central conflict of the event.
Scenario 1: The Incursion Cascade (Probability: High)
This is the most likely model, based on data provided by Doctor Stephen Strange.
- Mechanism: A chain reaction of Incursions, triggered by the sustained temporal damage from the Kang War. One universe collides with another, the energy from that destruction destabilizes three more, and so on. The collapse is geometric and unstoppable.
- Visual Manifestation: The sky will not simply darken; it will fracture, showing glimpses of dying worlds before they blink out of existence. Geography will become fluid; a street in New York may suddenly end in a Celestial’s graveyard from another dimension.
- The Stakes: Not the defeat of a villain, but the cessation of all things. There will be no one left to remember we ever existed.
Scenario 2: The Beyonder Protocol (Probability: High-Confidence)
Intelligence from alternate reality contacts suggests the involvement of a meta-physical entity.
- Mechanism: As the multiverse dies, a being of incalculable power—designated THE BEYONDER—intervenes not as a savior, but as a curator. It will harvest the last remaining fragments of reality and forge them into a single, patchwork planet known as BATTLEWORLD.
- Visual Manifestation: A white flash. Then, survivors from across the multiverse find themselves on a terrifying new world, with landscapes stitched together from fragments of Earth-616, the Sakaaran Empire, a 1930s Chicago, and others.
- The Stakes: Survival under the rule of a capricious god. The Avengers must learn the new rules of this reality and find a way to plead their case for restoration before the Beyonder grows bored and scraps the experiment.
Scenario 3: The Doom Gambit (Probability: Contingent)
This scenario is contingent on the successful emergence of a new, dominant power player.
- Mechanism: A genius-level intellect, such as the anticipated VICTOR VON DOOM, seizes the moment of universal collapse. Using technology and sorcery, he does not stop the Doomsday event; he harnesses it. He becomes the linchpin that holds the last shreds of reality together, proclaiming himself God-Emperor.
- Visual Manifestation: A world saved, but under the iron fist of a benevolent tyrant. Technology and magic are fused. Doom’s face is literally stamped on the cosmos.
- The Stakes: Freedom vs. Survival. Is a universe under Doom’s control better than no universe at all?
3.0 TASK ORGANIZATION: The Projected Response Team
The following personnel are projected to form the core response unit for the Doomsday Event.
Command & Control Cell:
- CAPTAIN SAM WILSON (FALCON): Designated Mission Lead. Provides moral authority and ground-level tactical command. His experience as a para-rescuer is critical; this is no longer an assault, it’s a recovery operation.
- DOCTOR STEPHEN STRANGE (SORCERER SUPREME): Head of Mystical & Multiversal Affairs. The only operative with a firsthand understanding of Incursion-level threats. His judgment, however, remains a potential liability.
Tactical & Scientific Response:
- SHURI (BLACK PANTHER): Head of Technological Development. Tasked with creating tools to navigate and potentially stabilize collapsing reality. Wakanda’s vibranium reserves may be the only material strong enough to withstand multiversal shear.
- BRUCE BANNER (HULK): Head of Gamma & Cosmic Sciences. His unique understanding of gamma radiation—a power that transcends dimensional boundaries—is vital for analyzing the “energy” of the dying multiverse.
- SCOTT LANG & HOPE VAN DYNE (ANT-MAN & THE WASP): Quantum Realm Specialists. The Quantum Realm may be the only stable reference point, or a potential lifeboat, during the collapse.
Heavy Support & Wild Cards:
- CAROL DANVERS (CAPTAIN MARVEL): Cosmic Firepower. Her role is to hold back the tide—to literally push back against collapsing dimensional walls or engage threats on a stellar scale.
- THOR ODINSON (GOD OF THUNDER): Divine Intervention. As a cosmic entity, his very life force is tied to the Nine Realms and the wider cosmos. His power may be needed to reignite the “idea” of a universe.
- SPIDER-MAN (Identity Redacted): The Human Element. His proven connection to the multiverse, combined with his scientific genius and unparalleled resilience, makes him a key operational asset, despite his desire for a low profile.
4.0 MISSION OBJECTIVES: From Victory to Salvation
The goals for this operation have been fundamentally redefined.
- Primary Objective: Ensure the survival of a meaningful continuum of reality. Total victory is impossible. The objective is now managed failure.
- Secondary Objective: Preserve the knowledge, history, and essence of Earth-616 (our primary universe). This is no longer about saving lives, but about saving the story of our lives.
- Tertiary Objective: Establish a beachhead in whatever new reality emerges, ensuring the principles of freedom and self-determination are not lost in the rebirth.
5.0 PROJECTED OUTCOME: The New World Order
The post-Doomsday landscape, or BATTLEWORLD, will be characterized by:
- A Soft Reboot: The universe will be reassembled, integrating previously disparate elements. This is the predicted mechanism for the official introduction of MUTANT HOMO-SAPIENS (X-Gene carriers) and the FANTASTIC FOUR into mainstream continuity.
- A New Pantheon of Heroes: The classic Avengers will pass the torch, not through retirement, but through cataclysm. Wilson’s Captain America, Shang-Chi, and others will be the foundational heroes of the new world.
- The Next Saga: The conflicts will shift. With the multiverse stabilized (or destroyed), the next threats will be internal (the mutant question) or from entirely new dimensions previously inaccessible.
CONCLUSION: THE FINAL ASSEMBLY
The Doomsday event is not a punishment. It is a necessity. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has become overburdened with its own history, its own contradictions, and its own sprawling narrative weight. AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY is the controlled demolition required to build a stronger, more cohesive, and more daring future.
This will be the Avengers’ most heroic hour not because they win, but because they have the courage to choose what to save when everything is lost. They are no longer fighting for the world. They are fighting for the idea of a world.
They are writing the final page of our universe, so that a new story can begin.
