yingxing and blade are of the same mind, but not the same body. yingxing is “primus immortus”– the first immortal of the luofu. buckle up.
the ten lord’s commission criminal directory give information on the criminals in the shackling prison, and it seems to be in order of first -> last. shuhu. dream eater. primus immortus. imbibitor lunae.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
note how imbibitor lunae’s is the only one redacted. he is the only criminal to be released. but if yx was involved, why was he not arrested? how is he free. there is no way jing yuan can let three wanted criminals off the luofu. the answer is simple. if aeons can discard their human bodies when they ascend why couldn’t an immortal? yx is in the shackling prison and blade walks free.
after all, we know for fact shuhu is who was used for blade’s immortality as stated by jingliu and backed up by his follow up talent.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
on top of that, blade’s profile states he abandoned his body to become a blade, and that could be taken literally if he is primus immortus.
Tumblr media
note his eidolons. e5 is “death by the ten lord’s gaze” and e6 is “reborn into an empty husk”
Tumblr media
then his character story iv ??? “from this moment on, that body will be the one and only ‘blade’.”
Tumblr media
IT HAS BEEN IN FRONT OF US THE WHOLE TIME. YINGXING IS PRIMUS IMMORTUS AND HE IS SUFFERING EVEN MORE THAN BLADE 🥹

Film Review - Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
Having started our reviews of 2023 films in the realm of home-release animation, it’s now time to begin checking out cinema releases from that year, as well as to return to the MCU, which began its fifth phase with the somewhat ill-received Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania…
Plot (as adapted from Wikipedia):
Following the Avengers' battle against Thanos, Scott Lang has become a successful memoirist and has been living happily with his girlfriend, Hope van Dyne. Scott's now-teenage daughter Cassie has become an activist, helping people displaced by the Blip, resulting in her having a strained relationship with her father. While visiting Hope's parents, Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne, Cassie reveals that she has been working on a device that can establish contact with the Quantum Realm. Upon learning of this, Janet panics and forcefully shuts off the device, but the message is received, resulting in a portal that opens and sucks the five of them into the Quantum Realm. Scott and Cassie are found by natives who are rebelling against their ruler, while Hope, Janet, and Hank explore a sprawling city to get answers.
Hope, Janet, and Hank meet with Lord Krylar, a former ally of Janet's, who reveals that things have changed since she left, and that he is now working for Kang, the Quantum Realm's new ruler. The three are forced to flee and steal Krylar's ship. The Langs, meanwhile, are told by rebel leader Jentorra that Janet's involvement with Kang is indirectly responsible for his rise to power. The rebels soon come under attack by Kang's forces led by M.O.D.O.K., who is revealed to be Darren Cross, having survived his apparent death at the hands of Scott, and who previously received Cassie's message. Aboard Krylar's ship, Janet confesses to Hope and Hank that she met Kang when she was previously in the Quantum Realm. He claimed that he and Janet could both escape from the Quantum Realm if she helped him rebuild his multiversal power core. After they managed to repair it, Janet touched the machine and saw a vision of Kang conquering and destroying entire timelines. Kang revealed he was exiled by his variants out of fear, which drove Janet to turn against him. Outmatched, Janet used her Pym Particles to enlarge the power core beyond use. Kang, having regained his powers, eventually conquered the Quantum Realm afterward.
The Langs are taken to Kang, who demands that Scott help get his power core back or else he will kill Cassie. Scott is then taken to the core's location and shrinks down. In the core, he encounters a probability storm, which causes him to split into multiple copies of himself nearly overwhelming him, but Hope arrives and helps him acquire the power core. However, Kang reneges on the deal, capturing Janet with M.O.D.O.K. destroying her ship with Hank on it. After being rescued by his ants, who rapidly evolved and became hyper-intelligent after being pulled into the Quantum Realm, Hank helps Scott and Hope as they make their way to Kang. Cassie escapes and rescues Jentorra, and they commence an uprising against Kang and his army. During the fight, Cassie convinces Cross to switch sides and fight Kang, with him eventually sacrificing his life.
Janet fixes the power core, enabling her, Hank, Hope, and Cassie to jump through a portal home. However, Kang attacks Scott at the last minute. Before Kang can beat Scott into submission, Hope returns, and she and Scott throw Kang and the Pym Particles into the power core, destroying both. Cassie reopens the portal for Scott and Hope to return home. As Scott happily resumes his life, he begins to rethink what he was told about Kang's death being the start of something terrible happening, but brushes it off. In a mid-credits scene, numerous variants of Kang, led by Immortus, commiserate Kang's death and plan their multiversal uprising. In a post-credits scene, Loki and Mobius M. Mobius encounter another Kang variant, Victor Timely, at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.
Review:
The Ant-Man trilogy is one that started out well on its first instalment, but over time it seems to have deteriorated to some extent with each sequel, making it an example of that age-old concept known as the law of diminishing returns.  Why is this?  Well, to be honest, there are a few reasons.  First is an issue that also affects the likes of Deadpool, Guardians of the Galaxy, and even non-superhero films of the comedy genre like Police Academy, namely a failure to keep the humour fresh on each instalment.  There are only so many times you can play something for comedy before the jokes gets worn out, and I think a lot of the humour from the original Ant-Man film has been returned to a bit too often.  This might seem strange to say because some of the humour tied into Scott’s fellow ex-cons, but the reality is there was a fair bit of humour around Scott himself and the characters he came to know by becoming Ant-Man, and now it’s over-used.
Humour in this film also seems to be misplaced given the gravity of the adversary being introduced, and I think that Ant-Man and the Wasp alone going up against Kang feels like a major mis-match.  Kang, or rather the Council of Kangs, is meant to be the overall villain of the multiverse saga in the same way Thanos was the ultimate foe in the infinity saga.  This character is a major, Avengers-level threat, and to start him out, you have him directly face Ant-Man?  Really?  In effect, we have a serious villain that so far out-strips the title heroes for power and threat, and that character is then wiped out by people who should have been lucky to get out alive.  Combined with a bit of a mis-lead towards the end that sees the film buck the MCU trend of third film resulting in loss, I honestly think this film was a victim of Marvel’s quantity over quality methods that have resulted in a reduced quality of post-Endgame MCU productions.
The film also has ties back into the Loki series, but doesn’t rely on audiences knowing that series to understand the film, which is a step in the right direction.  Having non-film and therefore non-cinematic elements in the MCU is, as I’ve noted before, something that either shouldn’t happen or that should be an optional bit of extra viewing instead of required core material.  For me, though, it feels like we should have done something else on this film.  The Quantum Realm should either not have been done, or should have been reduced in scope.  In addition, as I’ve noted before, this film didn’t include some key characters from the past two Ant-Man films; no Luis and crew, no sign of Maggie (Cassie’s mother) and no Paxton, which given the scenes with the police early in the film made little sense.  If Cassie is getting in trouble with the law, why are we not seeing the cop that was dating Cassie’s mum pre-blip?
Also, we get a line from Cassie early in the film that opens up another can of worms.  She makes a retort to her dad about having grown used to looking after herself, doubtless referring to Scott being missing for five years of her life.  However, given that Cassie has a mother and said mother had a boyfriend, looking after herself would seem to imply that when Scott was trapped in the Quantum Realm, Maggie and Paxton both blipped.  It would then be logical to suggest that Cassie not only grew into a teenager during the blip years, but that she was growing up without any parents to look out for her.  Much like Luis and his associates, this question of Cassie’s experience during those years seems to be brushed aside in favour of bringing in Kang and spending a lot of time down in the Quantum Realm.
Now this all being said, the actors of the film all bring their A-game, and the visual effects are spectacular, and the various parts of the film that are Kang-centric are very good indeed.  Unfortunately, as a whole the film is inconsistent in its tone and perhaps misuses its screentime to over-explore the Quantum Realm while under-exploring the worlds of Scott, Cassie and so on.  Personally, I’d have preferred something that spent more time up in our world dealing with Scott, Cassie, etc. and that perhaps brought back Ghost, now acting as an agent for Kang in our world somehow.  The Langs and Hope could have beaten Ghost, learned about Kang and then gone to face up to him, only to suffer a major set-back, such as Scott being trapped in the Quantum Realm as Kang’s prisoner, and this setting up for the upcoming Avengers: Kang Dynasty and Secret War that are coming up.  As it is, we can only hope that as Marvel begins to replan its upcoming films and direction that they at least stick with Kang being a major villain and recast the role following actor Jonathan Majors’ criminal conviction.  After all, they’ve recast the likes of Hulk and War Machine, among others, for less.
This brings me to my final point, which is my disappointment in the recasting of the teenage Cassie following Avengers: Endgame.  If what Wikipedia indicates is true, there was no scheduling issue requiring Cassie to be recast, and Emma Fuhrmann, who played the role in Endgame, was looking forward to coming back to reprise the role.  Apparently, the reasoning seems to be about having a more established actress in the role to help ensure a box office draw, as well as considerations of athletic ability and ability to act well alongside Paul Rudd, who of course plays Scott Lang.  While I can respect the last two decisions, assuming that major actors will always equal a good box office return is a flawed strategy.
First, not every big-name can act well, or can do every role justice, with the likes of Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham and Will Smith all being examples of actors that just act like themselves under different names when appearing in any film.  This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it requires that the role be created entirely by and for that actor, which only works on original stories going straight into film.  If the film is adaptational, then the actors have to play the role as the source material defines it, so if you can’t shift gears to play someone who isn’t you, you’re not right for that role.
Second, actors who want to become established are more likely to make a serious effort while those who are already established might not make as much effort.  I honestly believe that some of the best films I’ve seen were so good because they were made by great actors that were committed to the film at hand, and who then got major careers from those roles.  Picking the right actors is more important than whether or not people already know them, because the right actors will bring a performance that makes them known for good reason.  In this film, Corey Stoll’s iteration of MODOK was someone making themselves known for no good reason, and I wish they’d left that part out of the film.  Overall, I give this film 6 out of 10, largely due to the performances from the people in the size-changing suits and Majors as Kang.  Bill Murray was also cool to see, but again, big-name star and yet this film failed to technically break even, so in the words of Stan Lee, ‘nuff said.

What's wrong with Fantastic four (2018) anniversary#35:
Hi, there I will write what's wrong with this issue Fantastic four #35 anniversary :
First, the main story by Slott and Romita jr seemed pretty lame, a mix of recycling characters and events and Loki TV series plot . What I mean : You gathered around all Kang versions : Rama-tuh, Kang the Conqueror, the Scarlet Centurion, Immortus the only thing they did is competing on how every of them destroy Fantastic Four meanwhile taking piece of a strange " Prize" created by Nathaniel Richards? Seriously? Honestly this was supposed to be an issue to celebrate Fantastic Four. I remember when I read the solicitation about this issue I was enthusiastic on the idea of Time travel and Kang's return. The thing is I was expecting Valeria and Franklin to be the principal protagonists, being them to help their family against Kang reincarnations through time revisiting famous Fantastic Four moments ! This would remain a dream because definitely isn't the storyline Slott decided to write. He prefers to resolve all around Reed,but Fantastic four is primarily a FAMILY, but seems that in his run the only characters developed are Reed and Ben, ruining Susan and Johnny characters ( like in the Bride Doom arc).
Second: returning on Nathaniel's Richards prize : surprise surprise Reed has a sister! What's wrong ? Dan Slott is recycling a character who already existed in the Fantastic four universe : Huntara.She was Reed's half-sister from a different timeline who appeared first during 90s Fantastic four run, the One when Franklin Richards was aged up being Psi-lord ( good storyline I recommend to read it). She was also a prominent member of Fantastic Force, the team established by teenager Franklin Richards/Psi-lord to supply the Absence of Fantastic four. So nothing new!
Third it' s possible that the Origin story by Waid and " Some time family" by Vc Carmagna outshined the Slott's story?

The double wedding being officiated by freaking Immortus was pretty weird (I also wonder what Clint is thinking about Cotati Swordsman and you’d think he’d be in this event considering his relationship with Swordsman).
I also forgot Mantis’ dad existed (he’s the guy in the back with the blindfold), what is Libra even doing anyway? You’d think he cared about his grandson waging war on all fleshies.

ADAM WARLOCK Him
The Idea A playable Marvel Contest of Champions character in the Mystic class with energy and healing properties.
Synergies  "Infinity Saga" with Gamora, Thanos, Silver Surfer, Annihilus, Pip the Troll, and Gladiator; “Infinity Stones” with Loki, Star Lord, Iron Man, Ronan, Red Skull, and Vision, "Dark Side" with Magus, Sentry and Void, and Professor X and Onslaught, Kang (or Immortus) and Iron Lad, and Mister Negative; "Time Stream" with Kang, Doctor Strange, Cable, Bishop, and Gorr the God-Butcher; "Allies" with Star Lord, Drax, and Phyla-Vell; “Creator” with the High Evolutionary and perhaps Ayesha depending how the MCU treats it; “Past and Future Self” with Vance Astro and Justice; “Time Anomaly” with Longshot, Dazzler, and Shatterstar
Other champs who could self-revive might be High Evolutionary, Genis-Vell, Morgan le Fay, and Nico Minoru. Others who might be able to provide team revive support without potions include Shiklah and Stick.
Guardians of the Galaxy synergies might be available between Adam Warlock, Star Lord (eventually replaced by Star Lord II aka Kitty Pryde), Gamora (on this list as Gamora (MCU)), Phyla-Vell, Drax (on this list as Drax (MCU)), Groot (on this list as Thor (Groot)), and Rocket (on this list as Rocket Venom).
Why Summoners Care • coming to the MCU (?) • original member, Guardians of the Galaxy (Earth-616) • comics Infinity Saga
Other Games Marvel mobile games to feature a playable Adam Warlock include the now-defunct card games Marvel: War of Heroes and Marvel Battle Lines, the retired title Marvel Avengers Academy, and currently Marvel Future Fight. 
Adam was also playable in Marvel Avengers Alliance. He is in the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes series of games.
Work-Ups by Summoners
Editorial (originally written for the MCOC Wishlist Poll in 2018): Adam’s playable character should have Regeneration that functions like that of X-23 (more proportional to power bars). He should be able to revive himself and teammates once he gains sufficient persistent charges. No potions needed! He should have a native “Mystic Ward” type of ability. 
Summoner “mattwolfspur” in August 2017 suggested this work-up for Adam.
NEWS
History of hype here.
February 14, 2020: Adam Warlock is on the Jim Grid. 
January 5, 2020: Adam made the Troy List.
November 21, 2019: reports are that James Gunn has ruled out the MCU introduction of Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
October 24, 2019: I predicted perhaps no Adam Warlock in 2020. My theory is he will enter MCOC when he enters the MCU.
May 5, 2017: based on Guardians of the Galaxy 2, it appeared Ayesha and the Sovereign will be the creators of Adam Warlock in the MCU.

365 Marvel Villain paper cut-outs - one villain, every day, all year.
April 30th - Kang The Conquerer 
Nathaniel Richards had been a researcher and historian living in the far distant future of the 31st Century.  Bored by the tranquility of his life and fascinated with the past, he stole a time machine and traveled back to ancient Egypt.  There he was able to use his advanced technology to convince the populace that he possessed godly powers and he was crowned as Pharaoh Rama Tut.  Yet his rule was cut short when the time-displaced Fantastic Four spoiled his ruse and forced him to flee back to the future.  Richards accidentally overshot his original timeline and arrived in an even more distant future which was a war-torn wasteland.  Highly advanced weaponry was used in this future, but the denizens had been at war for so long that they no longer understood how their technology worked.  Richards was able to understand this technology and he used it to design himself a powerful battle suit and host of specialized weapons.  He dubbed himself Kang and easily conquering the world.  Such conquest was a feeling that Kang quickly became addicted to; motivating him to gather an army and set off on subsequent campaigns, traveling to different timelines and different realities to ever expand his dominion of conquest.  Kang’s desire for new challenges brought him the so-called ‘Heroic Age’ where he battled The Avengers.  The Avengers ultimately prevailed and for once Kang was defeated.  Newly obsessed, Kang would return time and again to challenge the Avengers.  During his travels through the time-stream, Kang came to learn that he was destined to become the benevolent time-lord known as Immortus.  It was a future he found inglorious and Kang recruited a team of Avengers against their will to aide him in a quest to prevent this destiny.  He succeeded and time was split apart so that both Kang and his other self, Immortus, could each exist at the same time.  Meanwhile, a younger version of Kang traveled back in time and disguised himself as Iron Lad, assembling The Young Avengers hoping that they could assist him in preventing his ultimately becoming Kang The Conquerer.  Kang’s first appearance was in the pages of The Avengers Vol. 1 #8.

Will the Real WandaVision Villain Please Stand Up?
https://ift.tt/2NdA7zB
This article contains WandaVision spoilers.
WandaVision is in its home stretch, with one big “villain” reveal hitting at the end of episode 7, and more expected any episode now. Agatha Harkness’ basement gave off some real strong bad gal vibes, but historically in the comics she’s never been the mastermind behind Wanda’s troubles, so much of the world is expecting another.
And while all the speculation so far has centered on Mephisto – justifiably so, considering his history with Wanda, Billy, Tommy, and Master Pandemonium’s arms – we think there’s one dark horse contender that not enough people have been talking about. With his history with Wanda and his future with the Avengers (and very likely in the MCU, if the tea leaves we’re reading are correct), there’s a better than decent chance that this guy will be popping up in WandaVision’s final episodes. 
But first, let’s get one thing straight…
Agatha Harkness…is a red herring?
The end of episode 7 of WandaVision plays up the sinister aspects of Agatha Harkness. Her basement looks like it could have been ripped from the set of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. But that doesn’t mean she’s actually evil. 
In fact, through the entirety of Wanda’s story in the pages of Marvel Comics, Agatha has been one of the few people actually interested in Wanda’s well being. Sure, she was often very matriarchal about it, but she actually seemed to care that Wanda was messing with her own children’s existence. And in a Scarlet Witch solo miniseries from the mid ‘90s, she was the only one actually concerned with trying to give Wanda agency. It would be a big swerve for the show to adapt her into an outright villain.
However, she was also prominently involved in Wanda’s “nexus being” storyline as the one trying to snap Wanda out of Immortus’ trance (more on that in a minute). I am willing to bet a small amount of money that Agnes is not the main villain of WandaVision, just acting shady about how she’s trying to break Wanda free of someone else’s control.
That you, Mephisto?
We’ve been inundated with Mephisto references to this point – between all the “Demon Spawn”s and Coronet Theaters and devils in details. And to be completely fair, Mephisto makes a lot of sense as the big bad of WandaVision.
Billy and Tommy’s birth in the comics was a bit of a mystery when it happened. As in, how could a woman and a synthezoid possibly have offspring? Also the fact that they were twins was a surprise, but I don’t know that that’s especially relevant. Anyway, turns out Doctor Strange is a crappy OB and also, the way a woman and a synthezoid could have children was if the woman loved the synthezoid very much, she could capture wild magical energy loose because of damage caused to the lord of Hell’s soul by a battle with Franklin Richards, channel that energy into her womb, and create life and souls with it. Mephisto was not powerful enough to escape battle with the Fantastic Four’s firstborn, and Wanda unwittingly used shards of his soul to create Billy and Tommy.
Later on, a movie exec who cut a deal with Mephisto, one Master Pandemonium, tried to capture the twins, as he believed that the kids were actually fragments of his lost soul. Alas, instead they were just his arms, and when he went to reabsorb them into his body, Mephisto hopped in and took his complete soul back from the sleazeball with babyhands.
So Mephisto is deeply entwined with the origins of Billy and Tommy, and with Wanda’s story in the comics. But what if he’s not in the show? What if, while everyone else is focused on Mephisto, WandaVision actually gives us…
Immortus
Immortus is, among other things, the Scarlet Centurion, Iron Lad, Victor Timely, Pharaoh Rama Tut, and a Pope. He is a continuity black hole, but the simplest explanation is that he’s the oldest version of the being who, at varying points in his history, was/is/would become Kang the Conqueror. 
Here’s a…profoundly condensed version. 
The being who would become Immortus was born in the 30th century, to a post-scarcity world of peace, prosperity, and plenty. He was bored as shit by this. So he stole a time machine, traveled back to ancient Egypt, ruled as Pharaoh Rama Tut for a bit, got a taste for conquering, and eventually became Kang, who would come to rule tens of centuries as the undisputed lord of time. Eventually he got so good at conquering that he ended up just…ruling…instead of conquering anymore, and that was where his downfall began. 
After a series of paradoxes he got his own damn self into, he eventually hooked up with the Time Keepers, a trio of beings from the end of all time trying to do a bunch of stuff that ultimately would end up ensuring their own creation. As a brief aside, the Marvel time travel characters are like if you kept introducing new invasive species to a pond to wipe out the last invasive species you put in the pond. It’s grandfather paradoxes all the way down. 
Anyway, the Time Keepers put Immortus in charge of cleaning up his own timeline as well as monitoring the Avengers segment of the timestream. Along with his mastery of time, Immortus also had the ability to dance around the multiverse. He could peer between timelines, prune the bad ones, trap Kang and Songbird and Yellowjacket in the wild west, etc. etc.
Also his name is Nathaniel Richards.
The Fantastic Four Connection
Wait, does this mean Immortus is the father of Mister Fantastic, Reed Richards?
Technically no. But he may be a descendant of Reed Richards. Or Dr. Doom. That’s where he gets the time portal from. Apparently.

WandaVision: Is SWORD Hiding MCU Fantastic Four Clues?
By Mike Cecchini
This is probably not how they’re introducing the Fantastic Four to the MCU. It would be very weird to, say, flash back to Howard Stark and Nathaniel Richards going on a SHIELD mission in the ‘50s that had them cross paths with the Time Stone, have Howard believe Nathaniel was lost in action when Richards merely created an offshoot timeline that included the Fantastic Four and mutants, only to have an immortal Nathaniel, embittered by countless lifetimes of loss and hollow conquering, travel back to find a way to remerge the timelines so his past self could have a happy life. 
It would be particularly ridiculous for that to happen in a future Marvel show like Loki. Anyway, let’s get back on subject.
What Does Nexus Mean?
The commercial in episode 7 featured an anti-depressant called Nexus, a pointed reference to one of Wanda’s roles in the greater Marvel Comics cosmogony. Wanda is a Nexus Being, an entity with tremendous power over the path of reality, who can alter futures even after they’ve set, create branching timelines, and possibly prevent powerful, important beings in the future from being born. And they typically have exceedingly powerful children – kids who, when fully mature, can rival universal constants like Eternity, the Living Tribunal, Chaos, Order, or Death. 
In the comics, Wanda was a threat both to the Time Keepers, who wanted nothing more than to ensure their own existence would come to pass, and Immortus, who wanted to also ensure his own timeline would come to pass and ALSO screw those fish faced Time Keepers out of their jobs. To do this, he decided the best path would be to be a real dick to Wanda.
First, he tricked Wanda and Vision into falling in love, thinking nobody could make a baby with a synthezoid. Then he screwed around with Vision’s body and timeline, making him inhabit the body of the original Human Torch, then not inhabit that body, then do both at the same time. Then he just up and drove Wanda insane, infusing her with additional power to amp her nexus abilities, letting her manipulate the timestream at a whim.
Which leads us to…
MCU Phase 5: Avengers Forever
Here is a sampling of things we know or can reasonably ascertain about the future of the MCU. 
Time travel is probably going to be the thrust of Loki. We see the Time Variance Authority in the trailer, along with a brief flash of statues that look like the Time Keepers. 
A lot of the MCU TV shows seem to be pointing towards Young Avengers. Kate Bishop is in Hawkeye, Billy and Tommy are in WandaVision, and while it’s not a TV show, Cassie is in Ant-Man 3.
Also in Ant-Man 3 is Kang the Conqueror himself. He fits the Young Avengers theory – the youngest version of Rama Tut/Kang/Scarlet Centurion/Immortus was Iron Lad, the mysterious Iron Man analogue from the teen hero group. 
Chris Evans is rumored to be coming back one more time for an Avengers role.
The Young Avengers theory feels like a slam dunk. It would be the least surprising thing in the world to have Patriot (Eli Bradley, the grandson of Isaiah Bradley, a recipient of an experimental super soldier serum in a dark, Tuskegee Experiment-style follow up to the original super soldier program) show up in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, and there’s no way Marvel would spend that much energy laying the groundwork for a new generation of Avengers and not have it pay off. However, if you squint hard enough, you can see a second path being cut by these shows.
Avengers Forever.
Avengers Forever is a 1998 miniseries by Kurt Busiek and Carlos Pacheco that is widely beloved for its distillation of decades of Marvel continuity into one epic story. It has Kang and the Kree Supreme Intelligence gathering a team of Avengers from disparate points in the timeline – Yellowjacket from the early days of the Avengers; Hawkeye from just after the Kree-Skrull War; a disillusioned Captain America from a low point in the medium past; present day Wasp and Giant Man; and Songbird and Captain Marvel from a future Avengers team – to battle Immortus and the Time Keepers for the life of Rick Jones. 
cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });
All the elements are there, from the time travel nonsense to the easy opportunity to get the whole gang back together. The key is Immortus, and he could be revealed soon in WandaVision.

The robot villain Ultron created the Vision - a type of android he dubs a synthezoid - to use against Ultron's own creator, Dr. Hank Pym . He was named for being the "Vision of Perfection". The Avengers believe that the Vision's body was created from that of the original Human Torch, the android Jim Hammond, while the patterns of his synthetic brain were based on those of the then-deceased Wonder Man. The Avengers would later learn that the time lord Immortus harnessed the power of the Forever Crystal to split the original Human Torch into two separate entities; one body remained the original Torch, while Ultron used the other to create the Vision. #COTW #Marvel #Vision
