Apparently people don't always keep up with superhero news - the Young Avengers get a mention in Champions #3 when someone mistakes the team for them. Viv Vision corrects that person only for someone to mistake them for mutants!

Just read a Captain Marvel spoiler and it seems like they just ruined Teddy's origin story in the MCU. Sigh.
I'm not really surprised.
spoilers:end of spoilers
Marvel hasn't really played up Teddy's relationship to Mar-Vell since his Young Avengers Presents oneshot (which was incidentally one of the stronger issues of that mini.)
They've mostly focused on Teddy's Skrull heritage, his royal lineage, and the fact that he's a hybrid. But nothing specific to the Vell legacy.
If they ever introduce Phyla to the MCU, I'd expect a similar divorce from Mar-Vell in her origin
I am actually surprised, honestly.

I knew that they weren't interested in using the real Mar-Vell in this film, and that was ok with me, but such a huge, drastic change like that which essentially erases the original character from the MCU was something I was not expecting. I honestly believed he was gonna get the Hank Pym/Guardians 3000 treatment.
And yeah, I'm aware Marvel doesn't give a shit about the Vell family these days. I was just fool enough to hope that the MCU could've changed that. That we would get Mar-Vell being Genis, Phyla and Teddy's dad and that would be something that would inspire the comics to do more with this family connection because they love their synergy.
The optimist in me wants to believe there are ways to salvage it. They could change Mar's name and keep his essence on a character that would essentially play the same role, but the realist in me thinks that if Kevin Feige allowed this to happen, then I might as well face the fact that they don't care about this character to adapt him in any way at all.
So, yeah, I'm really disappointed. But I'll survive...

Jerks. They could at least wait until it's out in at least the UK and USA.
I was expecting you say a reviewer had posted something.

Is Jeremy Whitley launching a Young Avengers book? He's asking who we want to see most out of Wiccan, Speed, Cassie and Hulkling.

That would create a bit of an anomaly if he is doing YA. Since the book he currently has is a solo for one of the Champions, and he'd be writing a teen team without that character on it.
