Exploring Lieutenants in the Multiverse: A Potential Merging of X-Men and Avengers

In the vast and ever-expanding universe of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), exploring the concept of a multiverse opens up a myriad of intriguing possibilities. One such potential scenario involves the convergence of the X-Men and Avengers if a villain from a parallel universe were to open a doorway to our universe.

Let's delve into the possibilities of key villains from the X-Men and Avengers joining forces to present a formidable threat to our heroes. These heroes will have to work together to prevent mass destruction and maintain the balance of the multiverse, given the notorious track records of these villains in other universes.

The Villain's Doorway

One of the most intriguing villains to explore in this scenario is Apocalypse. This psychopathic mutant with the ability to rewrite reality has appeared in various alternate timelines across the MCU. His ambitions go far beyond mere conquest; he seeks to reshape the entire multiverse at his whim.

In the original animated series and in comics, Apocalypse constantly pushes the boundaries of good and evil, often leading to catastrophic outcomes. His desire to re-write reality aligns closely with the goals of Thanos, another malevolent force in the MCU. Both would be willing to open a door to other universes to find allies and resources that help them achieve their goals.

Strategic Alliances: X-Men and Avengers United

In the face of such a threat, it would be logical for the X-Men and Avengers to form a strategic alliance. Monica Rambeau's appearance in The Marvels and her ties to both the Avengers and the X-Men make her a perfect mediator for such an alliance.

The Avengers can provide the technological and strategic expertise, while the X-Men offer their mutant powers and knowledge of cosmic realities. Together, they may find themselves battling not just a single threat, but a series of threats from different corners of the multiverse.

Tabletop Exhibition: Marvel's "What If?"

Before any concrete action is taken, Marvel might present a "What If?" series to test the waters of this crossover. This would allow the audience to see how these heroes and villains interact in a more controlled and less intense environment. If the results are promising, the final confrontation could be even more thrilling and impactful.

A Loki Scenario: A Dangerous Experiment

Loki is particularly intriguing in this scenario. In one comics storyline, Loki faced and lost to Apocalypse. If an alternate, unreformed version of Loki discovered a doorway to another universe, he might seek revenge on Thor. However, this could lead to the emergence of a powerful and dangerous ally for Loki who is capable of killing Thor. Such an event could lead to unforeseen consequences for both heroes and villains.

Red Skull's hate Propaganda

Red Skull is another character with a dark and nefarious past. If an unreformed Red Skull opened a doorway to our universe, he could use his talents to exploit the hate and fear of non-Aryan people, linking it with the prejudices of the Friends of Humanity. This could provide a firm base for his reign of terror, with the ultimate goal of wiping out his enemies, much like a true Nazi.

The history of Red Skull's relationship with Captain America and the X-Men could also make for an interesting subplot, where Wolverine might recall his memories of fighting against a similar foe.

Mr. Sinister's Multiversal Exploits

Mr. Sinister is a demonic eugenicist with a dark and sinister agenda. His services are in high demand across the multiverse, and it is not unreasonable to think that he might ally with a villain to achieve his goals. Mr. Sinister could conduct a series of experiments, seeking to find the perfect combination of powers and resources to enhance his own position in the multiverse.

Conclusion

The exploration of multiversal scenarios between the X-Men and Avengers offers a fascinating and complex narrative that pits heroes against villains from other universes. Whether it's Apocalypse seeking to rewrite reality, Loki embarking on a dangerous mission, Red Skull spreading hate, or Mr. Sinister conducting experiments, each scenario presents unique challenges and opportunities for the heroes to grow and face new threats.

Marvel and the film industry should continuously innovate and develop these narratives, creating an interconnected and expanding MCU multiverse filled with excitement and potential for future crossovers.
