Secret Empire has ended today (or at least its climax did, because there's still the Omega issue in the horizon), and I wanted to bring up some stuff to discuss.

Vanishing Point
First of all, it's apparent the Vanishing Point from this series is not the location of the same name that appeared in the pages of Secret Avengers. While that Vanishing Point was a wormhole, this one was first and foremost described as Kobik's mind. I think the best way to describe it is as manifestation of Kobik's mindscape.

I suggest renaming the current Vanishing Point page to "Vanishing Point (Wormhole)" and creating "Vanishing Point (Kobik).

Stevil's reality
The second thing I wanted to bring up is the creation of a TRN for this reality created by Kobik, which would be followed by the creation of pages for Stevil Rogers, and all of the characters that appeared in the flashbacks from Captain America: Steve Rogers. Elisa Sinclair should be renamed to the reality number of this TRN (its potential number is Earth-TRN640).

I think the best way to make sense of the events that surround this reality is the following:

This reality was retroactively created by Kobik when she wanted to turn Steve Rogers into a Hydra loyalist. In this altered version of history, Steve was recruited and brainwashed by Hydra when he was a kid. To make sense of Steve's transformation in the present, Kobik had the Allies create a Cosmic Cube with which they allegedly rewrote history themselves to actually turn Captain America into their champion. So in the eyes of Stevil, Kobik simply undid the damage caused by the Allies. Due to the scope of this change, rather than simply altering the memory of the real Steve Rogers with that of Stevil, Kobik had Stevil take Steve's place, trapping the real one inside her mind (the Vanishing Point). By the end of Secret Empire, Kobik saw the error in her ways and brought back to the real world the true Steve Rogers (he's not simply a memory recreation of him).

It wouldn't be surpising if some of this stuff is expanded upon in the Omega issue, so while I encourage to make the distinction between Vanishing Points as soon as possible, the creation of the Stevil TRN can wait.
