in the MU

Thinking of potential events to be mentioned in MARVELS II got me thinking. How many major events have been passed off by average citizens as some form of mass hallucination?

1. Inferno

That's all I've come up with off the top of my head. (It's too early in the day to think much.) I know the merging of Earth's and Doramammu's dimensions wasn't because Dr. Strange removed most people's memory of it.

What about:

1. The various appearances of Galactus? 2. The Celestials?

Drat, my brain isn't working. Guess I should go back and reread MARVELS, too.

The Perelman era

IIRC, Galactus was somehow cloaked or somesuch.

I don't think so. I reread the Trial of Galactus TPB recently. I'm pretty sure Frankie Raye's (who would become Galactus' herald Nova) response to the Invisible Woman mentioning Galactus was along the lines of, 'Galactus? You mean he's real?'

Well the Celestials USED to have some sort of persistent mindwipe set in place on the planet earth so that only those actively involved with them would remember them. The human professor that hung out with the Eternals once had a scene where he gave a lecture about the true prehistory of humanity to a group of professors and everyone attending had forgotten what he'd said before they got out the door.

Wasn't the Dire Wraith invasion written off in that way?

It's unclear. While the governments of the world never told the general populace exactly what was happening, it's obvious *something* happened. Unlike many major MU disasters, this one wasn't magically undone once everything was over. There's no hiding that people died and property was destroyed.
