Here is my idea of what Battleworld could look like in *Avengers: Doomsday* / *Secret Wars*.

I envision Battleworld as a massive world made up of different territories drawn from various universes. Each territory would be led by a Baron—a key figure governing their own region on behalf of Doctor Doom.

Here are the different domains I imagine:

Latveria — Doctor Doom

New Salem — Agatha Harkness

Greenland,Hulk's domain — Maestro

Wakanda — Killmonger

Savage Land

New York — split into two sections: a 616 side and an 838 side (Valentina Allegra de Fontaine or Kingpin)

Subterranea — Mole Man

HYDRA Empire — Captain Hydra or Red Skull

Egypt — Apocalypse

Talokan — Namor

Deadlands — Zombie Scarlet Witch

Russia / Red Room — Evil Black Widow

Ultron's Domain — Ultron

Asgard — Hela or hold Thor

Krakoa — Magneto

Kamar-Taj — Baron Mordo

Ta Lo — Wenwu

What do you think? Would you like to see these territories and characters as Battleworld Barons? And what other characters or domains would you add?

.

I loved both portrayals, but I’ve always had a special fondness for Jennifer Lawrence’s version. I prefer her character arc, her personality, her relationships with the other characters, and everything built around her throughout the films. I would have loved to see this version of Mystique interact with MCU characters—Yelena, in particular. To me, a confrontation between Florence Pugh’s Yelena and Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique would have been far more impactful. Plus, her return could easily have been justified, given that we know Mystique ages more slowly thanks to her powers.

​

Personally, I would have done things differently. They would still have symbolically represented the new generation of Avengers, but without officially bearing that name. Valentina would have introduced them to the public as Earth's new heroes while keeping the name "Thunderbolts"—especially since she had heard Red Guardian suggest it.

I think that would have made more sense, as it would have avoided any confusion with the actual Avengers team Sam is putting together. The Thunderbolts would have retained their own identity while still being viewed as Earth's new protectors. That way, they could have honored the Avengers' legacy without giving the impression that they were officially replacing Sam's team.

In the MCU, are Thor, Loki, Zeus, and the others actual gods in the literal sense, or are they simply extremely powerful beings perceived as gods by humans and other alien races—much like certain Eternals (such as Thena, the goddess of war)? If they are indeed true gods, what exactly does that entail? What makes a being a god in the MCU? Can one become one, and if so, how and why?

I think the new version of Avengers: Endgame, coming out in September, could alter or add archival footage of the missing people, particularly Yelena and Red Guardian, since they didn't exist in the MCU at the time. This would make sense for the general public, especially since they'll be in Avengers: Doomsday. I also imagine a scene where Natasha watches this footage with emotion, experiencing a particular feeling as she sees important people from her past appear among the missing.

Thunderbolts: Project Fury

After several global crises, the Avengers are scattered and increasingly difficult to mobilize quickly. Nick Fury realizes that he needs a permanent intervention force, capable of carrying out missions that traditional heroes would refuse.

But another concern is pushing him to act. For several months, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been investigating possible Skrull activity around the world. The shape-shifting aliens have already proven in the past that they can infiltrate governments, militaries, and secret organizations. Fury knows it is impossible to rule out the possibility that they have also targeted certain heroes.

The Avengers are the most powerful individuals on the planet, but they are also the most recognizable. If a new Skrull infiltration is underway, no one can say with certainty that they are all still who they claim to be. For Fury, this is yet another reason not to depend solely on them.

He needs a discreet team capable of operating in the shadows, carrying out covert operations, espionage missions, and interventions that traditional heroes would never accept.

His idea is simple: use criminals and dangerous individuals, but keep them under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s control.

To lead this unit, Fury chooses Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow. A former spy and former assassin, she understands redemption better than anyone... but also manipulation.

Fury's Proposal

Natasha is summoned to a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. facility.

Fury presents the project to her:

"The Avengers save the world. You're going to stop it from needing to be saved."

The program is given the name Thunderbolts.

Each member is either a prisoner or an unstable individual receiving a reduced sentence in exchange for their service.

Natasha accepts on one condition:

"I lead them. No one else."

Fury agrees.

To him, the Thunderbolts are not merely a replacement team. They are an insurance policy in the event of a major crisis. If the Skrulls were ever to launch an open invasion using Super-Skrulls with powers comparable to Earth's heroes, or if some heroes became compromised, this team would need to be capable of holding the line on its own.

This is one of the main factors influencing his recruitment choices.

Recruitment

Agent Venom – The Loyal Soldier

Flash Thompson already works for S.H.I.E.L.D. thanks to the controlled Venom symbiote.

He becomes Natasha's second-in-command and her primary field operative.

Unlike the others, he is a volunteer.

Part of his role is also to keep an eye on his teammates.

Ghost – The Infiltrator

Held in a maximum-security prison.

Ghost agrees to join only because S.H.I.E.L.D. promises to continue research that could permanently stabilize her molecular condition.

Natasha quickly recognizes her immense value for espionage operations.

Songbird – The Voice of Redemption

A former criminal who is genuinely trying to become a better person.

She is probably the closest thing to a true hero on the team.

Black Widow quickly comes to see her as her greatest ally within the group.

Radioactive Man – The Human Nuclear Weapon

Confined in a specially designed cell built to contain his radiation.

He joins the team in exchange for improved living conditions.

No one trusts him.

Even Natasha always keeps a contingency plan ready in case he turns against them.

However, Fury knows that if they ever face opponents on the level of the Super-Skrulls, very few individuals on Earth possess power comparable to his.

Juggernaut – The Brute Force

Physically impossible to control.

His recruitment is opposed by many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

But Fury simply responds:

"If Hulk ever shows up, you'll be glad he's on our side."

Juggernaut accepts mainly because he would rather smash things in the field than remain locked up.

For Fury, having a force capable of rivaling the most powerful beings on the planet is a necessity.

Blizzard – The Master of Chaos

A technological genius capable of creating devastating ice storms.

He joins the team in hopes of regaining his freedom.

His sarcastic attitude and oversized ego quickly create tension with Ghost.

Sentry – The Most Dangerous One

Robert Reynolds is voluntarily confined within a secret facility.

He does not consider himself a prisoner.

He considers himself a threat.

The Void, his destructive alter ego, is always present in his mind.

When Fury offers him a place on the team, Sentry refuses.

It is Natasha who eventually convinces him.

She tells him:

"If you want to prove you're not a monster, start by saving lives."

He finally agrees.

For Fury, this recruitment is essential. If the worst-case scenarios he fears were ever to become reality—a Skrull invasion led by multiple Super-Skrulls, or the loss of trust in Earth's greatest heroes—then Sentry might be the only asset capable of balancing the scales.
