Captain America No More?

Most hardcore Marvel Comics fans suspected this after the events of Captain America: Civil War.

A literal and symbolic action, it begs the question:

Who is Mary Jane Watson?

Formerly announced actress Zendaya is now rumored to be playing long time Peter Parker love interest Mary Jane Watson.

Why is Mary Jane such an important part of not just the Spider-Man mythos, but the larger Marvel Universe as well? 

Where is Quasar? (The Universe Needs It's Protector)

Long time Marvel fans know there is a long legacy behind Quasar. 

 It is implied at the end of the storyline that a now powerless Wendell Vaughn would act as a mentor and guide for Avril Kincaid, the new Quasar. 

Captain Marvel and Brie Larson (Heroes of the Marvel Universe)

Brie Larson has been chosen for this important role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.   

I believe her place in the Marvel Universe is so important she now holds a place in pop culture that I can only compare to Wonder Woman over in the DC Universe.

Hawkeye: to kill or not to kill

 I think this portrayal goes against all previous history of the character. 

Maybe Clint was altered after he was resurrected in the aftermath of the House of M event, or maybe the shapeshifting alien Skrulls are back.

The Legacy of Iron Man (Who is worthy to wear the armor?)

There will be two different characters operating as Iron Man, one a long time Marvel villain and a new, fairly recent character.

The second person, who will probably act much more heroically than Doom is Riri Williams, a fifteen year old african american girl who is a M.I.T. student.

Cosmic Cubes (talk about an identity crisis)

After it matured, The Shaper sought to create life, not destroy it.

The Cosmic Cube that would later evolve into Kosmos was formed by the merging of The Molecule Man and The Beyonder.

Silver Sable (Mercenary or Uniter?)

Silver, whose real name is Silver Sablinova, is a mercenary and leader of the Wild Pack.   

While Silver is not the ruler of her home country of Symkaria, the operations of the Wild Pack drive the economy of the small European country.

Spider-Man: Clone Conspiracy (Dead No More)

While I would hope Peter and Mary Jane would finally be reunited, is this the point where Marvel reunites Peter and Gwen Stacy after 43 years?

Could he return in a version of his original body or as another clone of Peter, giving us the Superior Spider-Man once again?

Why Captain America is not a Hydra Agent

Just two words, but it set the internet on fire starting Wednesday morning.  Was this a stunt to draw attention away from DC Universe: Rebirth #1 that released on the same day?

Rated R Mutants (Are violence and mayhem the answers?)

But is that the secret to Deadpool’s success?  To go all grim, gritty, and violent?   

Of course probably the most popular and well known mutant to ever come out of the X-Men Universe is Wolverine.

The Many Armors of Iron Man

This armor was built of course so Iron Man could escape detection by radar or other scanning devices.

It’s weapon systems were based on sea life including the electric field of an electric eel, a camouflage 'ink cloud' and small 'manta ray' torpedoes.
