HistoryEdit

Nixon was the 37th President of the United States from 1968-74. In our reality, He is the only president to resign from office.

During the Nixon administration, the President authorized the Fantastic Four to stop an attack from The Sub-Mariner^[1] and also oversaw the Fantastic Four avert an attack on Earth from Galactus.^[2]

Nixon urged calm when Thor and Odin's adventures in the World Beyond caused cataclysmic flooding and tremors around the world. He noted to his aides that, after all, it was "an election year" ^[3]

Nixon, along with Vice-President Spiro Agnew, also paid a visit and appeared to be very supportive of funding for Hulk Buster Base.^[4]. Later, when the Hulk was temporarily captured by Thunderbolt Ross and his Hulk Busters (again with help from the Fantastic Four), Nixon shocked many by authorizing the Attorney General to place the Man-Monster on public trial.^[5]

Nixon made inroads for equal rights for females when he authorized SHIELD to create an all female assault team "Femme Force" with Sharon Carter as its first leader.^[6]

NotesEdit

• Due to the fact that Earth-616 operates on a sliding time scale, Nixon's appearances as President of the United States in the below referenced issues should be considered topical for the time they were published. Most of these stories were published in the late 1960's to early 1970's, during the time that Richard Nixon was president of the United States.
• Nixon's 1974 resignation from office, time-wise, corresponded with the Secret Empire's Number One being exposed as a criminal in Captain America #175. Number One was described as a high ranking government official who immediately committed suicide upon his capture by Captain America.
