Cheat Sheet
- Marvel Comic Eras Classification -
The Marvel Universe is divided into four major eras: Golden Age (1939 - 1950), Silver Age (1956 - 1970), Bronze Age (1970 - 1985), and Modern Age (1985-present). A simple mnemonic like "Good Superheroes Battle Mightily" (G-S-B-M) helps recall each era chronologically, based on standard timelines from the Grand Comics Database and Marvel.com.
- Avengers Founding Lineup Mnemonic -
The original Avengers team debuted in The Avengers #1 (1963) featuring Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Ant-Man, and Wasp. Remember "I Think Heroes Always Win" (I-T-H-A-W) to lock in the lineup, as confirmed by the Official Marvel Encyclopedia.
- Sinister Six Original Roster -
Spider-Man's first Sinister Six assembled in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1 (1964) with Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Electro, Mysterio, Sandman, and Kraven the Hunter. Use "Our Very Evil Mercenary Strikes Kraven" (O-V-E-M-S-K) to memorize the order, per Marvel.com character bios.
- Infinity Stones and Powers -
There are six Infinity Stones - Space (blue), Mind (yellow), Reality (red), Power (purple), Time (green), Soul (orange) - each first detailed in Thanos Quest #1 - 2 (1990). A handy phrase like "Some Mad Rabbits Prefer Tackling Squirrels" (S-M-R-P-T-S) links stone names to colors and abilities, as outlined in official Marvel Publications.
- Major Crossover Events Timeline -
Key Marvel crossovers include Secret Wars I (1984), Infinity Gauntlet (1991), Civil War (2006 - 07), and Secret Invasion (2008 - 09). Plotting these by original publication year in a timeline chart helps track narrative flow and is supported by the Marvel Encyclopaedia and academic comic-history journals.
