Time has always been a key part of superhero movies, and it used to be that their starting points could be whenever a creative team chose

Shifting sands have once again revealed mysterious petroglyphs on the shores of a remote group of islands. The carvings appear and disappear depending on the water current, sometimes remaining hidden for years at a time before returning like a divine omen.
