Equivalent to Shadow Earth, only Jethro Tull completed the original double album version of _A Passion Play_, and (mathematical) chaos precedes to alter history. (Baseline divergence 1973.)
Alley behind Michigan Theater (Ann Arbor), Earth-XM
Equivalent to Shadow Earth, only Alan Moore is never offended by Marvel UK, and replaces Chris Claremont to become the longest writer on the X-men. Again, chaos precedes to alter history. (Baseline divergence 1980.)
Alley behind Michigan Theater (Ann Arbor), Earth-BN
Equivalent to Shadow Earth, only Bill Sienkiewicz gets his act together and finishes Big Numbers on a quarterly schedule. (It was never finished on Roland's personal shadow.) Again, chaos precedes to alter history, though there aren't that many obvious differences yet. (Baseline divergence 1990.)
