MARVEL KNIGHTS 2099 (2004)

The Marvel Knights line launched in 1999 so, to celebrate its fifth anniversary (OK, sixth, but who's counting?), the guys who revamped Daredevil, the Black Panther, the Inhumans and the Punisher jump 100 years into the future to see where these characters are in the year 2099. And it's all brought to you by The Walking Dead's Robert Kirkman!

Instead of setting the tale in the pre-established Earth-928 that previously starred future versions of Spider-Man, Doom, Ravage and the Punisher, the five one-shots are set in a whole new dystopian future. In this timeline, Earth-2992, the Mutant Registration Act outlawed super-beings. The heroes fought for their rights... and lost. Most of them were killed or thrown into Guantanamo 2099 (prob'bly). Only a handful of outlaw super-humans remain...

Samuel Fisk inherited the family business started by his grandfather, Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of Crime. But to atone for his family's dark history, Samuel has secretly taken up the mantle of his father's greatest enemy, becoming the Daredevil of 2099. But Samuel's wife, Elaine, becomes frustrated with his hobby and leaves him, taking their son with her.

When months pass and his wife does't return, Samuel Fisk searches for her as Daredevil and finds her shacked up with another man. Despite his supposed morality, Samuel has the man brought to his office where he pops a cap in his mouth...

In Latveria, the legacy of Victor Von Doom is passed from one man to the next. Now Lucian becomes Doctor Doom, killing his predecessor and passing his remains off as his own.

K'Shamba confronts the Wakandan Council, believing they've lost their way since taking over rulership of Wakanda when T'Challa's bloodline ended. Doombots burst in, interrupting forcing the council to surrender. In six weeks, Doom has taken over the once-impenetrable city.

K'Shamba takes up the mantle of the Black Panther and leads a rebellion, forcing Doom out of Wakanda and becoming the city's new ruler.

The the Mutant Registration Act in full-swing, Black Bolt can see that planet Earth isn't going to welcome his people, the Inhumans. So he puts his loyal subjects in stasis and sends them to the moon. A perfectly rational response.

Black Bolt's deranged brother Maximus wakes up, takes over as ruler of the Inhumans and kills the Inhuman Royal Family, except Black Bolt. When Black Bolt finally wakes up from stasis, he goes a little crazy himself and his scream destroys Attilan and kills Maximus and every other Inhuman.

So, it looks like the Punisher and Elektra hooked up back in the day (or forward in the day, depending how you look at it). And while they're dead, their daughter, Cassondra Castle, is the new Punisher. But she's not gonna be around forever, so she's training up her son to take over.

Franklin Natchios (or 'Castle' or whatever) isn't keen, so he passes. Then his mum dies. It just warms your cockles, doesn't it?

In the 20th Century, Chad Channing was the drummer in Nirvana. He played on Nirvana's Bleach album. In the year 2099, Chad Channing isn't a drummer and isn't a member of Nirvana 2099. He's a mutant. And, like all other mutants in this fun-time future, he has a number burned into his arm and has to take super-power-suppressing drugs that stop his abilities from ever kicking in.

Exploring beneath the streets of New York (because they must have shite TV in the future), he discovers the head of Reed Richards who unleashes his powers. When Reed's head builds a Thing-replica body for himself and goes back to being called Mister Fantastic (dude, you could've picked anything and it would've been better than that), he joins Chad who takes the name Mutant 2099 (dude, you could've picked anything and it would've been better than that) and the duo save innocents from attacks from rogue mutants and the Mole People.
