I went to the Marvel: Universe of Super Heroes exhibit and wanted to share for anyone who has not seen it. I am under the impression that the installation changes from location to location so I wanted to show this snapshot in time. I fully admit to being biased in what I will post so if you want to see a particular character, please let me know! Apologies ahead of time for my crappy photo taking skills.

Steve Rogers (Captain America)
The whole tour started off with Steve featuring immediately. You can see Captain America all throughout the exhibit but in the room that was more focused on him, Steve was sharing the space with Sam and Bucky.
The picture above was from a small monitor showing different designs and CGI work. I particularly loved this concept sketch. The extra long eyelashes are on point. 👍
The iconic comic cover of Captain America punching Hitler was one of the first items shown in the exhibit.
I thought it was interesting that half of Steve’s plaque was about Bucky. 🤣🤣🤣
It was honestly a bit intimidating to stand beside the uniform. Chris isn't the tallest of the bunch but still plenty tall! It just felt really impactful. This was worn by him in Age of Ultron.
The urge to smash and grab this was very strong. 😝😝😝 I loved the "As wielded by Chris Evans". This particular shield was used in Endgame.
Steve's various interactions with American presidents. Bush Jr. criticizing Steve for resisting against the Superhuman Registration Act which led to "Civil War", makes me even more glad that I was always Team Cap.
But maybe more importantly:
OBAMA WAS THE ONE WHO PARDONED BUCKY IN THE COMICS?!?! HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS BEFORE???
The Tesseract. Without the CGI for the glowing blue, it was mostly just clear. But still very cool.
I admit I am not that knowledgeable about the comics and seeing this "Cap's Kooky Quartet" made me go on a Google info hunt. But basically the other Avengers are tired and abandon Steve to go on vacation and without his knowledge, hire the "New" Avengers line up of Clint, Wanda, and Pietro...who are at this point newbies and basically criminals. From what I gather, it was a lot of bickering and shenanigans (Clint calls Steve "Glamor Pants"!!). I found this incredibly helpful post to explain the dynamic and also please look at this adorable picture of Dad Steve and his Misfit Kids.
The exhibit ended with the gift shop and I had to ask myself, "Do I REALLY need a soup bowl shaped like Steve's head?". He was definitely the character the most heavily present in merchandise! I was tempted to buy this Marvel cookbook but I do think it was a missed chance for Steve. I mean, okay, I get it. The beef tongue as a nod to living through the Depression. But I would have made corned beef tongue in an acknowledgment to his Irish roots. Just my two cents. 😘😘😘
This is just a small sample of Steve in the exhibit and this post would have gotten way too long if I tried to fit it all! I had a lot of fun and I'm so glad I had a chance to see it!

Imagine Wanda confronting S.W.O.R.D. about leaving you, Vision, and her alone in Westview
Did she not deserve to get her happy ending? When the snap was reversed, everyone was so happy to be reunited with their missing loved ones. Families were reunited once more and everyone in the world celebrated. Everyone except Wanda who came back to Vision still being gone and the Avengers fragmented once more. There was no family to return to.
It was why as she stepped outside of the dome, drone in hand, Wanda felt a mixture of grief and anger swirl inside of her as she looked at the agents with narrowed eyes as they began to surround her. The feeling only grew as she took note of how they were all armed, scopes trained on her and their finger ready to pull the trigger and fire as they watched her every movement carefully though that did nothing to deter her. She now had something she was willing to protect. "Is this yours?" She asked rhetorically, throwing the drone harshly at the feet person who looked like they were in charge.
"The missile was just a precaution," He explained, taking slow steps near her.
"I think I can." Staring him down, she narrowed her eyes at him. "This will be your only warning." She spoke to all of them though she maintained eye contact with the man. Channeling her powers, she formed an orb in her hands before brushing it away as its wisps entered the minds of all the armed agents. "Stay out of my home."

Since Peter and Wade have drag queen alter egos, would Petra and Wanda have drag king alter egos?
