Avengers Forever is a great series released by Marvel from 1998 to 1999. Great artwork, great story, great characters and it introduces the new Captain Marvel. Here’s how it could eventually inspire the events of the MCU.
The major Avengers in the story include:
Giant-Man (or Goliath)
The Wasp
Captain Marvel
Songbird
Captain America
Hawkeye
Yellowjacket
Immortus (Kang), and the Time-Keepers believe that the human race, with Rick Jones as the catalyst, will develop powers and eventually conquer the universe. They decide that he must die.
The Avengers fight back.
So, we have, Kang, a time-traveling Hank Pym, and a new Captain Marvel.
I feel like Rick Jones could easily be replaced by an Inhuman, or the Inhumans, and the catalyst could simply be Earth becoming too powerful because the Inhumans on Earth are becoming more and more powerful.
I know this is far-fetched but give me time-traveling Pym and Kang in the movies and I’ll be happy. Captain Marvel is being introduced in the MCU soon, and seeing a young time-traveling Hank Pym with Stark, Banner, and Reed (when the rights come home in phase 4 or 5 ;) ) would be amazing.
Not just Reed but bring in the entire Fantastic 4 to this and it would be amazing. I definitely want to see Dark Reign adapted as well but having Kang and time-travel in the MCU in phase 4 or 5 would be awesome, and they could take advantage of the amazing job Marvel has done with continuity.
Imagine Cap traveling back in time to World War II, or Stark traveling to the future. Maybe even Banner traveling back in time and having to struggle and decide whether he should prevent his life changing Gamma Accident or not, and how that would affect the events of the future.
The possibilities are endless.
Anyway, I was thinking about this during the week and I thought I’d share.
