Secret Wars #4 spoiler

[vitruvian]

Your first paragraph about Molecule man was well written btw, a better explanation to what is happening than what Hickman actually wrote.

But with the future thing, that is something to wonder about. The idea was what? 25 years in the future from when Molecule man got his powers all realities would collapse but futures exist which are further ahead, even in the view issues before Secret Wars, we still had time travel into the future, what were they travelling into the future of?

The best and only explalantion is that Secret Wars happened in all of the pasts of those futures, in those futures and they were all reset and everything back to either a-okay or dismal futures what could happen. Or Molecule Man wasn't there to explode, which means Beyonder's experiment was not a very good one.

It's not anyway, according to the story there was a Molecule man in every reality. Which includes ours... where is he?

The Marvel Multiverse has had an analogue to the real world in Earth-1218 for a while now, but since none of the events presented as happening there with Marvel characters visiting have ever happened in real life, that's all it is, an analogue. Especially now that it's been destroyed according to Secret Wars, what with 616 and 1610 being the last two in the multiverse, obviously 1218 got kacked earlier.

As for the futures past Molecule Man inception +25... unclear, except that each and every one must have had a history explaining how that universe was in existence at the future date, whether that involves avoiding the Incursions and Molecule Men bombs entirely, being destroyed and then recreated (with time travelers jumping over Secret Wars none the wiser), or what have you. A universe can't exist with a history saying that it no longer exists, barring the bizarre 'remnant' futures seen in Guardians 3K recently.
