While I’m glad that we’ll see one of my favorite superhero teams in the future (and yours too, I assume), I am a bit concerned about how the narrative will be structured—given how carelessly the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been handling storylines lately...

Honestly, I’d love to see them closer to Earth-712.

but...

I have a feeling that could turn into a 'Second Civil War' type of event—something i definitely don't want to see, it is for me bad...

The Earth-616 option is more convenient, and—against the backdrop of - 'Secret Wars' it likely represents a more coherent integration.

I also like the idea of ​​the Defenders and the possibility of them crossing paths during events agains Null the Living Darkness, similar to the comic—Defenders Vol 1 #103, or finally implement the - 'Serpent Crown' storylines and introduce them via events involving crowns from other realities. However, that would require them to tap into the multiverse again—something I don't think they’ll do after the current Multiverse Saga.

Also shouldn't forget—though it’s likely already official—that the next saga will 99% be dedicated to the Mutants.

We also have news that Marvel Studios is interested in director Zack Snyder. Of course, i know there are people who are skeptical—or even negative—about him; however, the story of the Squadron Supreme from Earth-712, in particular, seems like a perfect fit for him and his vision. The question remains whether he would actually take an interest in this group of heroes and delve into the material to craft a compelling story; unfortunately, I have my doubts about that. He would likely want to do things his own way, which certainly wouldn't sit well with the studio or Kevin Feige.

In any case, what kind of arc would you personally like to see ?

Honestly, i was expecting something of the sort back in the second installment, James Gunn essentially beat the Marvel Cinematic Universe to the punch—and far too early, at that...

I realize that our hopes now rest on Doctor Strange 3, but something tells me that installment will be a carbon copy of the second one-just with an even bigger multiverse concept. It seems the current MCU needs its own Matt Reeves for stories like this, more grounded and cohesive.

The powers in comics:

D'Spayre

Fear and Despair Inducement via Illusions: D'Spayre is capable of causing fear and despair via illusions and hallucinations. He is capable of reading his victims' minds and/or emotions to bring out their deepest fears.

Emotion Absorption: D'Spayre feeds off negative emotions. (Some believe that D'Spayre does not need to feed on emotions, but does so because of sadistic pleasure).

Intangibility: D'Spayre is normally intangible.

Interdimensional Teleportation: D'Spayre can travel to various dimensions, presumably via teleportation.

Immortality and Self Sustenance: He does not seem to age, nor need sustenance.

Energy Projection: D'Spayre can fire magical blasts of energy.

Superhuman Strength: D'Spayre possessed a high level of superhuman strength. He was easily able to send the large Doc Sasquatch flying

Jack of Hearts

Jack of Hearts possesses a number of superhuman physical and energy-manipulative capabilities as a byproduct of cellular mutation.

Zero Energy Blasts: Upon making contact with the experimental Zero Fluid, created by his father, Jack of Hearts' body underwent mutation at the cellular level allowing him to project powerful beams of concussive energy from his body. The energy itself is generated through unknown ways by the cells in his body and can be directed and controlled through conscious thought. This energy, referred to as Zero Energy, is generated constantly by his body and is emitted in negligible amounts whenever his cells have reached the maximum amount of energy they can store. He typically directs the energy consciously through his hands and is capable of creating a powerful shock wave of unknown limits. Whenever he discharges the energy consciously, the discharge is accompanied by a pink-colored light.

Flight: Jack of Hearts is able to direct the blasts of his Zero Energy downward for the purposes of generating sufficient thrust to allow him to fly. However, he must keep his arms pointed beneath him while in flight and is unable to use his energy as an offensive weapon unless an opponent happens to be directly in the path of the energy while in flight. The maximum speed he can attain while flying isn't known, but he has flown from Philadelphia to St. Louis in three minutes and it is thought that he can use the Zero Energy to open hyperspace warps while in space allowing him to travel at speeds faster than light.

Superhuman Strength: Jack of Hearts' entire metabolic structure, bone, and muscle tissues have been transformed and augmented due to the mutagenic effects of the Zero Fluid. His strength has been known to fluctuate dramatically with his overall power levels. At his peak, he possesses sufficient superhuman strength to lift at least 25 tons. Jack has gone toe to toe with beings with much greater strength, though that could be due to a combination of his strength coupled with his energy powers and his body's great resistance to physical injury.

Superhuman Stamina: Jack of Hearts' augmented musculature generates less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of a normal human. At his peak, he can physically exert himself for roughly 24 hours before the build-up of these fatigue toxins in his blood begins to tire him appreciably.

Superhuman Durability: The effects of the Zero Fluid have also augmented Jack of Hearts' bodily tissues, rendering them much more resistant to physical injury than those of a normal human. He has been known to withstand great impact forces, such as being struck by a superhumanly strong adversary, with little to no injury whereas a normal human would've been severely injured or killed outright. He has also demonstrated resistance to high caliber bullets, falls from great heights, and being struck by powerful energy blasts. Jack of Hearts also requires much less oxygen than a normal human and can survive unprotected within the vacuum of space for extended periods. While traveling in space has shown to have no detrimental effects on his body, he must enter an oxygen-rich atmosphere from time to time. His body is particularly augmented for the rigors of traveling at extreme velocities. Flying unprotected at high speeds, as Jack of Hearts does, would severely injure a normal human. When he has to breathe, Jack of Hearts can do so with complete ease even while traveling at speeds of hundreds or thousands of miles an hour whereas a normal human would suffocate.

Accelerated Healing Factor: In spite of his great resilience, it is possible to cause Jack of Hearts injury. If injured however, his augmented metabolism enables him to fully heal mild injuries more than twice as fast as an average healthy human. The full limits of this ability is uncertain as, for example, it isn't known of Jack of Hearts can merely heal normal injuries or if he can fully regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue.

Scanalyzer Enhancement: After being exposed to a Scanalyzer powered by a Symbiot Energy Sump device, Jack of Hearts' underwent another mutagenic alteration that allowed his encephalic patterns to be overlaid with the Scanalyzer's artificial intelligence. This enhanced his consciousness to a level where he can think at the speed of a computer, as well as retain and retrieve stored information with computer logic along with the human brain's naturally large storage base

Do you think they should change anything about their abilities ? Or improve something ?
