Some individuals survived the war through special or supernatural means. In ' I Remember You,' Simon says to Marceline that they may be alone after the apocalypse, and ' Simon & Marcy' depicts a post-war society devoid of any other humans. Throughout the episode they try to find a fallout shelter called the 'Clubhouse,' with Marceline ultimately arriving to find the vault door open and the skeletal remains of its inhabitants, implying the shelter failed to protect them from the Mushroom War. In the flashbacks from ' Obsidian,' Marceline's mother Elise is shown to be dying from an unknown illness which is strongly implied to be radiation poisoning from the nuclear fallout: this suggests this was the fate of most humans who survived the war.

Nonetheless, most presumably perished during the war. Abandoned and destroyed vehicles were a common sight in the devastated landscape and their rusting skeletal remains can be seen in the backgrounds of several episodes.ĭespite the great destruction, some humans managed to survive the war, such as Simon Petrikov ( Ice King), Moe, the tribe of humans led by Two Bread Tom, Elise, and the family lines that eventually led to humans in the current setting of the series, including Finn and Susan Strong Marceline, a half-human/half-demon, also remained as one of the war's only survivors. A great deal of human technology also remained scattered throughout the land. Evidence of the war appear in the form of abandoned military vehicles, ruined army blockades, bombed buildings and crashed warplanes. The little human infrastructure that survived, such as girder bridges and office buildings, now lay in ruin. The infrastructure that had existed throughout the land had been mostly destroyed. The end of the war left much of the world devastated and devoid of much life. Further evidence that proves that the War took place in the 2000's is in the episode ' Sons of Mars,' where Abraham Lincoln briefly shows a penny that has a date with the first two numbers being '2' and '0' (the rest of the numbers are obscured). Pim's flashback of the human era, in 'Elemental' this could indicate that the Great Mushroom War began sometime around 2010. Modern smartphones are seen in Patience St. This would also help explain why Internet-derived expressions and phrases are frequently used by characters. However, due to the appearance of a Generation 3 iMac computer in the episode The Lich, (which started becoming available to mass public consumption in 1998), it can be assumed that the war occurred sometime after the year 1998. Belvedere, which premiered that year in 'Simon & Marcy' the Ice King is depicted singing the theme song and making reference to the sitcom Cheers, which premiered in 1982, further supporting the 1980s timeframe of the war. The exact year(s) that the war took place have never been stated, though it can be concluded that the Mushroom Bomb was dropped sometime after, at the earliest, 1985, as in ' Everything Stays', Two Bread Tom, a surviving human, is depicted singing the theme song to the sitcom Mr. Marceline's flashback in 'Simon & Marcy' is explicitly stated in a time card in the episode to have taken place 996 years ago prior to the present setting. The war likely ended approximately one thousand years before the events of Adventure Time. Also, in 'Finn the Human,' Farmworld Marceline suggests that the mushroom bomb likely concluded the war as she states that the world would have been annihilated if Simon had not stopped the bomb with his ice powers. Despite some destruction, without the detonation of the mushroom bomb, humanity continues to exist. This implies that either some country used the essence of the Green Catalyst Comet to make the weapon, or it was a regular nuke that released the evil essence upon explosion. When the wish is granted, Finn is transported to a world where the sorcerer Simon Petrikov has sacrificed himself to stop the mushroom bomb and freezes the entire Earth in the process. Not much is known about The Mushroom War or the events leading up to it, except that it ended with a mushroom bomb being dropped on what was once America, awakening The Lich and ending most of life on Earth. The episodes ' Finn the Human' and ' Jake the Dog' support this, as Finn wishes the Lich, a product of the mushroom bomb, never existed. 3 Evidence or clues of former civilization.
