BackSet
The Great Thief Yatagarasu!
I made a timeline. Thoughts? Criticisms? Too much? Too little? I figure anybody with basic history knowledge should be able to fill in the gaps.

Timeline
Over a billion years ago - merging of two universes and creation of our universe**
To universes collide into one another initiating the big bang and melding together to form our universe.
Billions of years ago but after the creation of the universe - earth forms*
Earth forms and life develops soon after.
Years later - a spaceship crashes, causing the death of the dinosaurs***
Years After That - Humans find the spaceship. The few aliens who are left are worshipped as gods***
Years Later (again) - The aliens fight and all the humans in the battleground are disintegrated but the city is untouched. The aliens are horrified.***
10 years later - the aliens move to greece (not yet greece) and build a flying city above mount olympus (not yet mount olympus).**
Years later - a couple of dudes climb mount olympus and find the alien’s sky city (now populated by the alien’s descendants.) And meet the twelve aliens that are left from the original group. They then go back down the mountain and tell everyone about the aliens and how they are the gods who control everything.**
Years later - Jesus tries spreads Christianity to the Roman Empire. Then he is killed.* Jesus was an Alien spy.**
AD 313 - Christianity is made legal by Constantine.*
AD 319 - worship of other gods Is made illegal.* Humans try to storm the Olympus sky city to bring down the aliens, proclaiming them false gods, but fail.**
fast forward...
1607 - England starts colonizing America.*
1610 - the colony of Greyhollow is founded*
1730- Greyhollow in grip of crime wave.
April 19, 1775 – September 3, 1783 - revolutionary war. America wins its independence.*
1880s or so - Greyhollow is rechristened Greyhollow City after a large amount of expansion. Jacob Zane christens himself Honcho and stokes crime wave even further.
1910s or so - Centurion City is founded and soon starts expanding. Jacob Zane is killed and Reed Swiss takes his place.
1919- Reed Swiss is killed.
July 28, 1914 – November 11, 1918 - World War One. First costumed hero, Mr. Patriot, appears. Soon after he died in combat because wearing a red white and blue costume with a mask and shooting a gun doesn't make you a superhero.
1920s or so - the company Engineering and Drilling Union forms (they specialize in engineering and oil drilling but eventually expand as new technologies become available). They would later change their name to EDU Corp and become a major enemy or various heroes.
1931 - A hero known as Planetarian makes centurion city famous and becomes an icon of hope (which is useful because America is having a depression). Centurion city becomes famous for being the most super city in the world. Planeterian kicks Thomas Allan out of Centurion.
September 1, 1939 – September 2, 1945 - world war 2. When America joins the war they bring a superhero team called the Legends along with them. This is the beginning of the age of costumed heroes. After the war the legends disband because they aren't needed anymore.
1940s- Drake Blackwell takes over as Honcho in Greyhollow, taking advantage of the distraction because of the war.
1947- drake blackwell expelled from city by citizens revolt, Ghost Scare kills him privately. Maybe.
2018- Johnson Black aka the Grey starts trafficking illegal alien tech from london and selling it to villains.
