My pitch for a Squadron Supreme run spinning out of Ultimate
With the knowledge that Armageddon is going to be a 616-based followup to the Ultimate Universe, I thought it'd be really cool if we got a new Squadron, with powers coming from the different Origin Boxes brought to the main universe.
My idea was that the Hyperion from Hickman's Avengers comes back to the spotlight after some time away, recognizing that the new powered individuals roughly match up with those on the Squadron. The book would see Hyperion going on his own to recruit the new superhumans, eager to make the Squadron Supreme actually work long-term. He is joined by Tilda Johnson, former partner to Supreme Power Nighthawk, who inherited his tech and costume, who wants to help carry out Kyle Richmond's mission on a global scale.
The new members would be:
Marin Kingsley, aka Iris: Marin, a student at ESU, comes across an Origin Box containing the Power Prism from Earth-6160. It immediately bonds to her, attaching to her chest. The Prism has a mind of its own, urging Marin to use its power for good as Iris.
Itsuki Minaminoto, aka Warhead: Itsuki Minaminoto was a nuclear physicist before receiving his powers, which came from an Origin Box containing the Radioactive Man's chemical origins. Itsuki, confused and enraged by his new abilities, would go on a brief rampage before being calmed and taken in by Hyperion and Nighthawk. The two would design Itsuki a containment suit, allowing him to control his powers and radiation output. To repay them, he would join the new Squadron Supreme as Warhead.
Layla Adeyemi, aka Power Princess: Layla Adeyemi was raised in Nigeria and always idolized Earth's superheroes, wanting to be just like them. Her wish would come true as, on her 21st birthday, she would stumble across the Origin Box containing the chemicals that gave Jessica Jones her powers. Layla, viewing this as a sign, immediately went to design herself a costume, calling herself Power Princess. The insane coincidence of both name and powers caught Hyperion's eye, who recruits her for the Squadron.
Jacob Andreas, aka Arcane: Jacob Andreas was always fascinated by the supernatural and was a great believer in fate. He would stumble across an Origin Box containing various items of power once belonging to Earth-6160's Agatha Harkness. He would learn to do real magic from these artifacts, even being contacted by the spirit of 6160's Harkness. His magic ability attracted attention from various sources, especially Nighthawk, who brought him into the Squadron's fold.
These were just some fun ideas I had! Let me know your thoughts.
