Timeline

The universe is the same as the Sacred Timeline up until 1988.

• 1988
  • Yondu, leader of the Ravagers, assigned the task of collecting Peter Quill to his underlings Kraglin and Taserface, who mistakenly abducted a young T'Challa from Wakanda. T'Challa agreed to join the Ravagers to explore the galaxy. (What If...? 1.02)

  • In Tivan's headquarters on Knowhere, they offered him the Power Stone as a distraction while T'Challa looked for the Embers, but he found a Wakandan spacecraft that was searching for him.
