Daredevil #142 (Wolfman/Brown, Feb 1977). Foggy’s girlfriend is still missing, but Matt’s search is diverted when Mr Hyde and the Human Cobra escape prison. Hyde and Cobra hilariously keep crowing about how they’re so unstoppable — but Matt’s senses continue to leave him vulnerable, even to these goofballs. I can’t tell if something’s actually wrong with Matt or if the writing’s just sillier.

So Marvel made Agents of SHIELD not technically “MCU Canon” and in the show there are discontinuities revolving around Thanos.
I’m bored and just somehow got sucked back into AOS despite being in like three other fandoms, so I’m just going to put down my headcanons for the differences.
Everything under the tag because it got a bit long.
MCU:
Project Deathlok is a failure and John Garrett dies somewhere in a secret base.
Without anyone’s support, Raina’s persuasive ability can only get her so far. Her death appears in the newspapers as an open-and-shut murder case.
Ward wastes whatever potential he could have had in the prison system. He’s unfortunate enough to have been in New York in 2012 and an errant blast from a Chitauri ship kills him.
Ironically, in the same city, at the same time, a twenty-four-year-old hacker stays in front of Stark Tower just a few moments too long. She dies as Skye, buried beneath a pile of rubble.
Her father never finds what he’s looking for, and the SHIELD agents are just a little faster. Jiaying never makes it out of that village alive.
By a miracle, Calvin Zabo survives and clings to life just long enough to find a certain Daniel Whitehall. The bastardized serum works just long enough for them to kill each other.
Coulson dies on the operating table, unwilling to be dragged back to life.
Melinda May stays behind her desk and is killed fighting off a swarm of HYDRA agents. The Mockingbird falls, and so does a mechanical engineer by the name of Alphonso Mackenzie.
Fitzsimmons die in an unmarked grave. For all their brilliance and usefulness, they’re too loyal.
The Inhumans see what happens to their kind and the doors of the Afterlife never open again. Terrigen never falls into the sea, and Elena Rodriguez isn’t fast enough to dodge the bullets.
There’s no backlash against the Inhumans. For all the world knows, they don’t exist.
Lance Hunter continues on with his life, but the life of a mercenary is a dangerous one. He’s very good, but not everyone can outrun death.
Without the new SHIELD discretely taking down HYDRA cells, the Avengers become more involved. HYDRA agents, like Ruby, are killed in the ensuing destruction.
But SHIELD agents that should have survived are killed too. Davis and Piper both die as humans. Casualties aren’t just a result of HYDRA. Antoine Triplett dies securing the Gravitonium, and after SHIELD falls, its left in the Fridge, forgotten.
The monolith finds no sacrifice, and Hive still waits on an almost lifeless planet for a chance.
Ghost Rider never hides the Darkhold, but Agatha Harkness discovers quite an interesting read.
AIDA and the Framework never exist, and Radcliffe is only ever known as the eccentric transhumanist.
Without the Destroyer of Worlds and the Inhumans, the Kree never intervene again, Captain Marvel’s warning is more than enough to deter the Empire... for now.
The Shrike continue to grow to be a problem, and eventually, galactical superpowers intervene. On Earth, Kamar-taj steps in, quietly taking care of the problem.
Chroncya-2 is never destroyed, and the Chronicoms remain peaceful.
SHIELD never recovers, and half the universe dies.
AOS:
The Sokovia Accords are simultaneously better and worse. More people are fearful, but not many will be so brazen as to announce such radical and violent ideas to the face of an Inhuman delegate.
Those who signed the Accords are pushed to make it better, to make it more humane, and to make it more of a support system for those who suddenly find themselves with powers.
Thanos invades Xandar, expecting an easy fight. It’s suddenly not so easy when the Destroyer of Worlds and a person made of energy punch their way through his fleet. Xandar is wrecked, but the planet and its people still live on.
The Asgardians face Ragnarök, but without Thanos in their way, settle down in Norway, further contributing to the widespread changes made to the Sokovia Accords in favor of superhumans.
Captain America begins an “Out of Time” club, and eventually, the Avengers are peer-pressured into reforming.
