Ditko’s Spider-Man really wasn’t jacked at all, it wasn’t until Romita came along that Peter started to seem to put on muscles. It always felt more how he drew spider-man and less he actually got jacked later. I would suggest maybe trying to find some flashback comics written since the 90s, they may include something. But nothing really pops out.

My first thought after watching it... Theory: Timely was actually split across every reality. While not Variants, more like temporal copies put into each reality/universe. Each one with the memories and everything of Timely. Thus creating all the Kangs and starting the upcoming war.

Chris Zylka ... For me... I think which one with the right amount of time, I could see become Agent Venom. Out of the three, Chris Zylka seems like he could become the former bully turned injured War Vet, to Agent Venom.

While I am no expert on either of them here is my take :::

Both at the top of their game…

— Iron Fist before giving up his powers / at his traditional power level he has been at for years

VS

Shang Chi at the same time

… yes Shang Chi is often considered the best Martial Artist… though even that is questionable. Back in Heroes for Hire vol 1 #19 in 1999 … Iron Fist defeated The Cat. And while Shang Chi s often cos the best… Also The Cat is considered Shang Chi’s equal (yeah comics logic lol).

Iron Fist & Shang Chi often have fought to a stalemate lik in Iron Fist #7 2017 … they fought to a stalemate. But Shang Chi was being mind controlled… so like most of these fights usually heroes will hold back.

Just look up all of Iron Fists powers, they give him such an advantage. But the biggest advantage Danny has is was his popularity. Starting with Immortal Iron Fist vol 1 #1 2007. Danny has been through ALOT that really has put him on a next level to Shang Chi. Just to survive these insane inter dimensional fights .. battles.. war… And. To come out victorious, he had to push himself. Unfortunately, Shang Chi hasn’t had the spotlight lately long enough to help out. The Phoenix tournament really is just the biggest thing he has taken part in.

For me Winner :: Iron Fist

Buuut if it is right now Shang Chi Vs a depowered Iron Fist. Danny seems tired / done with being the super hero Iron Fist. He willingly gave up his powers. Shang Chi however is at the top of his game.

While I could see this being a stalemate… I likely is Shang Chi being victorious.

Kaine would be perfect as the leader!

I think They should recast him. T’Challa’s MCU story has just begun. He has so much more he can do, adventures to go on, and much more!

It’s very similar to the Spartacus (minus we don’t don’t know Bosemans wish’s), sometimes a role is bigger than the actor who plays them and the story requires a recasting. Black Panther needs T’Challa and the MCU needs him.

However I do worry, to the posters question, I feel like Marvel is leaning to replacing T’Challa instead of recasting. I just don’t think Shuri is ready (the actress is great though). I hope I’m wrong and marvel keeps T’Challa around.

What If Thanos won Infinity Gauntlet? Yeah somewhat similar to the Movies… but the comics played out pretty differently… it could be interesting exploring an alternate reality where Thanos’s killing half the universe wasn’t undone.

For the 5 I posted I took the OG post and added a few rules of my own. First it would be about Powers I would use in Our Reality. Only 1 power from A Character. So A character can only show up once & Can't use multiple powers of a character. Flight is the power I always wanted, Teleportation & Technopathy seem very helpful in our world. With Space Travel & if I somehow ever find myself in other realities, Darwin's Adaptation would likely come in handy. Especially because I would lose Manifold's teleportation ability if I left our Reality somehow. And Flight, Teleportation, And Technopathy seem like abilities that don't seem extremely hard to learn. And Adaptation & Intuitive being passive abilities I wouldn't need to learn just to start using. LoL I put alot of thought into mind.

And thanks to LardWad420 for Monet's Intuitive Ability ... kinda borrowed that one lol

They are all outcasts, outlaws, and outsiders each and everyone of them. On the run from the Galactic Council, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and their pasts... their only option is to stick together for better or worse (likely worse).

Most of them used to putting themselves first and distrust strangers. Each one carries dark secrets... And If their own secrets don't catch up to them and kill them, they might just kill each other. Pirates, Mercenaries, Outlaws, War Criminals, and the rest of the Galaxy's rejects must figure out how to survive each other if they ever wish to make it out of this alive.

Their Only Goal... Keep moving so their pasts don't Catch up! In the heart of Firefly & The Expanse, comes the Anti-Guardians Of The Galaxy team, The Ravagers!

Damn, you guys are REALLY great at making teams!
