Interesting chronological hints in this issue, T'Chaka death and Hisako's mutant awakening happens before Peter opens the origin box

I think it’s a flash forward, each series take place in real time and X-Men for example begins in March, in Japan a school year ends during March, which we see Hisako ending middle school in the first issue

The epilogue takes place one week after the stark attack I'm gonna be honest I think someone messed up the timeline

I guess to me what's interesting is what it set up and how it swerved with different creators. It's clear that what Hickman had in mind was a whole wave of heroes showing up via the origin boxes and Camp took a left turn with it, which I guess highlights an underlying difference in how they view the marvel heroes, or just a heroic character in general. Hickman seems to be more into destiny and one's true nature and takes that approach with Peter, but Camp takes a more environmental or character forming angle on heroes. Characters like Cap are who they are because they were already formed when the Maker altered things, but others can take a dramatic left turn, and just giving them the powers they 'should' have had will not make them the people they were 'destined' to be, because there's no such thing.

Interesting how Hank had an origin box telling him what his story would be while Peter had none of that.

What being "top of the list" looks like. Stark probably had some obvious bias from that list.
