The red dust in Black Widow was a substance that helped Black Widows free themselves from Dreykov's mind control. Yelena goes on the hunt for widows in the red room during the film, and the movie ends with her discovering that there are thousands of widows out there. Is it ever answered whether Yelena found and freed them all, or could they all potentially be reactivated at some point by Dreykov's mind control system?

I also hate that Taskmaster's death wasn't shown as a more impactful death to Yelena. During the Black Widow movie, Yelena was repeatedly crushed any time one of her former Widow sisters died. Taskmaster was mind controlled even by her own father, something that would seemingly make her more sympathetic to Yelena. However, in the New Avengers, Yelena seems rather unphased by Taskmaster's death and remarks that the life of an assassin is a shit life. I get that Yelena is used to death and killing, but I still find it out of character that she wasn't at least partly sympathetic to a girl she helped free and who Natasha always felt guilty about, believing she had killed her as a young girl in an explosion while trying to take Dreykov out.

Do you think we'll ever see Dreykov's mind control system and the red dust again?

She-Hulk's Winter Hulk form might be a creative way to bring it all back...

The water seems to be in reference to how Tommy got his body, alluded to in "Agatha All Along".

This issue is also immediately following the debut of Viv's human form, making it a key part of her story.

I know this is a photo from the first movie, but this idea is mostly for the comics first and foremost. What if Cassie was the all-new Yellowjacket?

The Yellowjacket mantle isn't exactly known as heroic. In the comics, it was the suit Hank Pym used during his most controversial tenure, including the period of domestic violence against his wife Janet Van Dyne who left him, back when divorce was a much bigger social taboo than it is today.

After Hank Pym left the mantle in the comics, a woman named Rita DeMara assumed it for a time before being killed off. Ultimately the mantle is still wide open for the taking, and MCU Cassie has a unique connection to the character.

In the comics, Darren Cross is the man standing between Cassie and the lifesaving transplant she needs to survive. In the MCU, Darren is the Yellowjacket who comes for Cassie to get back at her father. Cassie has intimate knowledge of the Yellowjacket suit, having almost been kidnapped by Darren with it. It would make sense for her to be somewhat scared of it, but also for that fear to make her feel empowered if she ever put it on, much like Batman with bats, the batcave, and his persona.

I would also argue that the Wasp mantle would seem fitting if there wasn't already another already active "Unstoppable" Wasp, Nadia van Dyne. And the "Stature" mantle has worked for a time, but it doesn't roll off the tongue or have much of a theme compared to the insects of her father and other related characters.

We desperately need more Cassie content, she's extremely under-utilized in the comics, and I think her taking over the Yellowjacket mantle would be the best way to elevate her character, pay homage to her origins, utilize an underutilized Marvel moniker, and finally give Cassie the fully developed concept she's so desperately needed for quite some time now.
