History[]

Between Stranger Things 1-3=[]

November 6, 1983-March 1986[]

At some point after Will Byers' abduction and subsequently, Vecna's successful possession of him, Vecna seemingly decided to go after twelve children and replicate what he did to Will. He started targeting Thomas by taking the form of a kind-hearted imaginary friend, Mr. Whatsit, presumably with the same "promise" he made to Holly Wheeler: protect her and her family from monsters. However, unbeknownst to Thomas, Mr. Whatsit was Henry Creel, the first Hawkins lab experiment, and a dangerous killer.

Stranger Things 4[]

An unknown "earthquake" hit the town of Hawkins, Indiana. However, this was the 4th and final gateway for Henry's plan of invading Hawkins with the upside-down opening after the first death, but then the subsequent resurrection of Max Mayfield. Thomas and his family were among the few citizens to remain in Hawkins, where the military set up a military base that quarantined the town.

Stranger Things 5[]

1987[]

On November 4th, 1987, the day after Holly Wheeler was kidnapped, the American government issued an order that all children between the ages of nine and ten be transferred to the MAC-Z for protection. However, Thomas and his classmates were bait for Vecna (whom the military mistook for Eleven).

Vecna briefly left the Upside-Down and came to the military base on Earth, causing an explosion that knocked out most of the military personnel. Debbie and Thomas were being transported on a truck by Robin and Murray. However, the truck was knocked over, allowing the Demogorgons to steal Thomas and Debbie for Vecna's plan to use them as vessels.

  1. In "Sorcerer," Dr. Kay mentions that the military collected children from the ages of 9-10 in the Hawkins area for "protection", placing the children from Hawkins Elementary School at around this age. This means Holly Wheeler and her classmates are this age.
