History ComicBook / MarvelComics2

An AlternateTimeline MarvelUniverse where everyone (well, almost everyone) has had SpinOffspring and following the [[RetiredBadass retirements]], [[KilledOffForReal deaths]], [[DisappearedDad disappearances]] and [[NoodleIncident disbandings]] of their parents/mentors/favorite super-teams, the kids have taken up the torch.

* AdultsAreUseless: Subverted, with most of the MarvelUniverse acting as mentors to the younger generation. Though there some who look down on the kids, underestimate them, etc.

* OfficialCouple: Since the line deals with the future of the then current MarvelUniverse couples, some ships of present time still exist, or are made official. Then there's curveballs like [[spoiler: ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} and ComicBook/{{Elektra}}]].

%%* EarnYourHappyEnding: J2, [[spoiler: when Zane finally frees his dad]].

%% * GenerationXerox: Played straight in that almost all of the [=MC2=] heroes are following in their parent's or mentor's footsteps (and costume choices). Averted in that most of them have different personalities and motivations.

%%* MarriedToTheJob: American Dream

%% * MissingMom: Darkdevil is the son of Ben Reilly and the Elizabeth Tyne (who, in this reality, has gone missing); Franklin Richards (for a while).

** The Fantastic Five, an expansion of the original Fantastic Four: Franklin Richards (Reed and Sue's son), his uncles Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm, his aunt by marriage Lyja Lazerfist (Human Torch's Skrull wife) and Big Brain, a robotic buddy.

* BadassFamily: Since in the reality the present day heroes had children, this is a given. Some examples:

** The Fantastic Five, an expansion of the original Fantastic Four: Franklin Richards (Reed and Sue's son), his uncles Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm, his aunt by marriage Lyja Lazerfist (Human Torch's Skrull wife) and Big Brain, a RoboticBuddy.

%% * DistaffCounterpart: Several are the result of this universe, though some have made it into comics after the majority of [=MC2=] became defunct ,in one way (Anne Parker in places of May Parker, Captain America 2099 in place of American Dream) or another (X-23 in place of Rina)

%% * BadassFamily: The Fantastic Five. Also, the Parkers. All of them. Even [[MamaBear Mary Jane]] and [[BadassAdorable the baby]].

* FutureBadass: The MC2 continuity is a possible future of then current Marvel Universe (late-1990s, early-2000s), so many of teen and kid heroes of "present time" grow up to be this. Examples include [[TheLeader Jubilee]], [[TeenIdol Franklin Richards]] and [[AntiHero Araña]].

%% * BadassNormal: American Dream. Though it did take her a lot of physical therapy to [[spoiler: regain the use of her legs]].

!!Getting its start as a WhatIf, the 'verse has expanded to include the following series and miniseries:

* ''Last Hero Standing''. A CrisisCrossover for this line. A number of well-known superheroes, both retired and active ones, disappear without a trace. The superhero community is concerned but there is no singular suspect. As everyone reacts in their own way, some of the missing heroes return. But acting as villains and attacking fellow heroes. Who is pulling everyone's strings remains a mystery for a while, until the shocking revelation: [[spoiler:Loki seeking to end the Avengers and the "Age of Heroes", rectifying his role in accidentally starting it.]] Published as a 5-issue mini-series (August, 2005).
* ''Last Planet Standing''. A second CrisisCrossover. ComicBook/{{Galactus}} has decided to evolve himself to a new level and now requires more energy than usual. He starts actively campaigning against the Shi'ar, the Asgardians, and other targets. With Earth once again on his list. Heroes and villains have to team-up to prevent the extinction of sentient life-forms. But ComicBook/SilverSurfer offers his own solution to the problem. Published as a 5-issue mini-series (July-September 2006).
* ''American Dream''. Featuring Shannon Carter, niece to Sharon Carter and LegacyCharacter to ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. Starred in a 5-issue mini-series (July-September, 2008).
