Warning! Spoilers ahead for Timeslide #1!It’s a brand-new year and, for anyone who missed it, Marvel Comics is making it crystal clear what readers can expect in 2025. Last year was full of big changes for the iconic universe, with new eras and game-changing events. But by the looks of things, 2025 is going to be even more consequential for the Marvel Universe.
Over the holidays, Marvel Comics published Timeslide #1 by Steve Foxe and Ivan Fiorelli, which saw Cable and Bishop receive a warning from a displaced version of the mutant Bronze, who warns the duo of things to come in the Marvel Universe.
On X, Marvel posted Bronze’s warning, which included phrases like “One World Under Doom” and “Strange of Asard”, things that have already been officially revealed. But there are less-clear hints of the future, such as “The Ghost Fist Walks” and “Who Would Trade Away Immortality?”, leading to speculation among fans as to what each of these clues could mean.
Marvel Comics Teases a Seriously-Packed 2025
Doom Reigns, a New Thor, and a 616/Ultimate Crossover?
It’s never been uncommon for Marvel to hint at its upcoming storylines. For the past several years, Marvel Comics has been publishing one-shots late in the year to tease what lies ahead. The previous Timeless-branded stories have hinted at wild directions for its characters, such as Punisher joining the Hand, the end of the X-Men’s Krakoan era, and the arrival of a new Moon Knight. These one-shots are always jam-packed with mysteries and seeds of plots that usually take a while before readers see any payoff. However, some teases, such as Marvel’s shocking Miracle Man tease, still haven’t paid off.
With that in mind, fans already know a few of these teases are happening, such as Doom taking over the Marvel Universe and Doctor Strange going full-Asgardian. But does the “Ultimate Incursion” really mean that readers will be seeing a full crossover with Marvel’s new Ultimate universe this year? And what does “Who is the Man with the Hammer?” mean for Thor? A new legacy or death for the hero entirely? These clues are certain to keep Marvel fans on edge in the coming months as they start to see which of these teases will actually pay off.
What Does 2025 Actually Hold for the Marvel Universe?
Anything is Possible, So Expect Most to Happen
Granted, not everything in Marvel’s yearly preview of the coming year comes to fruition, but most of the time, it’s a solid indicator of what the publisher has in store. Doctor Doom conquering the Marvel Universe is set in stone, as is Doctor Strange’s next chapter. It’ll be interesting to see what becomes of the “Ghost Fist” (likely a revived Danny Rand) or how things will shake out when (or if) Dormammu invades Earth. But Marvel wants as many fans to be aware of these teases as possible, meaning 2025 could have most of, if not all, these plots playing out in some way over the year.
Timeslide #1 is available now from Marvel Comics.
