Katherine starts a game of "Tell Me Somethin' I Don't Know" and asks Nick to tell her about his friendship with a girl named Suzie. Nick, not wanting Katherine to know that he and Suzie had been examining each other's genitals behind Jackson's barn, lies and claims that he and Suzie had seen a bullfrog with polka dots. Katherine smiles at the lie, which tells her what she wants to know about Suzie.[82][83]
In the early hours, teenagers Biff and Barb lie in the back of a truck in Nevada, spending the night looking at the sky. Biff insists he saw a flying saucer there before, though Barb says she assumed he had just said that to get her to come out with him. They kiss.[97][99]
The radio in Nevada plays an advertisement for a new car.[97][99]

Sousa's story begins to be told: Sousa was a noble agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., who risked his life delivering a vital piece of technology to Howard Stark, and died a hero at the hands of what seemed to be the Russians - the first fallen agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., whose story is considered inspiring to other agents. Files are written on the event.[100]

The Magistrate, however, grabs Jonah and transfers his essence to Jonah's body, causing a flash of light.[118]
↑In Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Mrs. Chen says that Katy Chen's grandfather moved to the United States. Katy says that her mother is American, implying that her grandfather moved before her mother's birth. Mrs. Chen's birth is approximated to June 1955 (see other references). The average age to have a child in 1955 was 28.7 years old, suggesting that Chen's father was born in approximately October 1926. Chen's father would have moved between his eighteenth birthday and his daughter's birth, so the moved can be approximated to February 1950.
↑In Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline, it is stated that the revived Super Soldier Program conducted on Isaiah Bradley occurred in the "late 1940s/early 1950s". It is implied in Star Spangled Man and Truth that the program only really returned in earnest during the Korean War, implying it began c. 1950. Because of this, the earliest restarting of the program has been placed to 1949, but there should ideally be roughly minimal time since it got started again in 1949 if it only properly resumed once the Korean War began (minimal time in apparent slow early redevelopment). So, it can be taken that the program kicked in properly as soon as Truman gave the order to help in Korea on June 27, 1950, so June 28, 1950.
↑ 30.030.130.230.330.430.5In The Star-Spangled Man, Bucky Barnes says that his and Isaiah Bradley's altercation was in 1951. Bradley later says that he was held in prison for "thirty years." In Truth, Bradley explains that during the Korean War, he was given the Super Soldier Serum, that he was the only survivor, and that he rescued his fellow soldiers before being sent imprisoned. Distributing these events evenly does not place the fight between Barnes and Bradley in 1951, so it must be placed independently of the other two, in approximately the middle of the year, July 2, 1951. Bradley and the other soldiers receiving the serum can then be approximated to between that fight and the beginning of the Korean War on June 25, 1950, since it is implied to have happened during the war, so approximately December 28, 1950. Bradley rescuing his fellow soldiers can then be taken to have occurred between the fight between him and Barnes and the end of the Korean War on July 27, 1953, so approximately July 14, 1952. In Truth, Bradley mentions that the people who had taken the serum began dying off before he rescued his men, so this can be approximated to the halfway point between receiving the serum and the rescue, so approximately October 6, 1951. Bradley also says in Truth that his superiors were planning to kill his team before he rescued them, and that "one night" after he overheard the plan, Bradley broke out. Bradley overhearing the plan can be approximated to three days prior, so that both Bradley's wording works and so that Bradley isn't waiting long enough that his superiors had already enacted their plan. After describing the rescue, Bradley says, "It wasn't long before it was only me left." Since it is implied that Bradley was imprisoned shortly after he rescued the soldiers, Bradley can be taken to have been sent to prison a week later, with the rest of the serum users dying during that week. His imprisonment can then be taken to have happened on July 21, 1952, and the deaths in the middle of the time between the rescue and his imprisonment, so approximately July 17, 1952.
↑ 54.054.1Based on a weighted calculation from John Kani's age at the time of filming Captain America: Civil War and Black Panther and working back from his scenes, and from Atandwa Kani's age at the time of filming Black Panther and working back from his scenes - reasoned against Sterling K. Brown's age at the time of filming Black Panther and working back from his scenes, considering that T'Chaka is older than N'Jobu. The calculations for these dates and the dates that flashbacks are set are all relative to each other, and can be found in detail here.
↑During Carter's interview in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the interview says that the two of them "spoke a great deal yesterday about the SSR, early days of S.H.I.E.L.D.". With this line being said on June 21, 1953, the interviewer would be alluding to something that happened on June 20, 1953.
↑In AKA Start at the Beginning, AKA Freak Accident, and AKA Sole Survivor, it is shown that Brian Jones was born in "1954" and died aged "46" in "2000". His date of death is April 13, 2000 (see 2000s references), meaning he was born between January 1, 1954 and April 13, 1954, making his date of birth approximately February 1954.
↑In Promises, Nick Fury says that when he and his mother went to Detroit, "we always had to ride in the colored car." Trains in the United States were all integrated by January 10, 1956, suggesting that Fury lying about his friendship with Suzie happened before then. Fury also notes that, at the time of the conversation, "Me and Suzie had a standing game of doctor we'd been playin' behind Old Man Jackson's barn." Playing doctor, children examining each other's genitals, is typical of children ages 3-6. Fury was born on July 4, 1950 (see other references), suggesting that he would have been playing doctor between July 4, 1953 and July 1957. Fury lying to his mother can therefore be approximated to between Fury's third birthday on July 4, 1953 and the integration of trains on January 10, 1956, placing it on October 6, 1954.
↑ 89.089.1In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Yondu says that he was sold into slavery as an infant and then spent 20 years in slavery, before Stakar Ogord freed him. Based on Michael Rooker's age when filming both movies, then working back from when both movies are set and taking an average, Yondu would have been born around January 1955, and so would have been sold around February 15th. 20 years later, he would have been freed around April 2, 1975. This fits with him then spending many years collecting Ego's children from 1975 up to any point between 1979 and 1988, then the final one, Quill, in 1988.
↑Based on Jodi Long's age at the time of filming her scene in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and working back from the scene's setting, Mrs. Chen would be born in approximately June 1955.
↑In Alien Commies from the Future!, Biff insists that he had seen a flying saucer the previous night. With this being said in the early hours of July 21, 1955, Biff would have seen the flying saucer in the night of July 19, 1955.
↑In Wig Out, it is said that Jackson Dillard was "8 years older" than Mariah. With Mariah's date of birth approximated to December 9, 1963 (see 1960s references), it can be approximated that Jackson was born around December 9, 1955, if not more generally meaning "1963 - 1955 = 8" then any point in 1955, approximating as mid-1985. Putting more weight in the specific December 9, 1955 but considering the possibility of generally 1955, a weighted average gives roughly October 17, 1955 - or, less specifically, October 1955 for Jackson's date of birth.
↑In AKA Sole Survivor, it is shown that Alisa Jones was born in "1956" and seemingly died aged "44" in "2000". Her apparent date of death is April 13, 2000 (see 2000s references), meaning she was born between January 1, 1956 and April 13, 1956, making her date of birth approximately February 1956.
↑Based on Dikran Tulaine's age at the time of filming Nakazat, working back from the setting of the episode, Nikolai Poloznev would have been born around June 1956.
↑In Scar Tissue, on May 2, 2018 (see 2018 references), Frank Castle says Arthur Walsh is "about 60 years old", implying he was born around November 1957. Given that actor Thomas G. Waites was 63 at the time of filming, it can be taken that he is a little older, born around September 1957.
