So Hyperon one shotting galactus is VEEEEEERRY likley a false memory or construct, as well as all their easy memory(hmmm If i didn't knew Aaron, I would think that there is a meta-commentary on the nature of comics where all the stories of the character are scripted and oftne canon is retcon here and there)
    There's no way you can kill Galactus that easy. That is a clearly a false memory. And if that's not the case, then it's probable that Galactus wasn't even the real one, but another "lie" created by Mephisto to be used like the Squadron Supreme itself.

    This couldn't have been caused by Echo, it's obvious Mephisto did it, somehow.

    By the way, I have another suspiction for the events to come. It's obvious the Avengers will restore the original world, but I just realized a way the Squadron Supreme MIGHT escape Coulson's and Mephisto's control. In issue #3, Silver Witch said Blur was unnatural and he shouldn't even be alive. Well, how about if by mixing the "Flames of Rebirth" from the Phoenix Force and the power of the Starbrand, the Squadron Supreme are turned into real people and neither Mephisto or Coulson can control them anymore.

    It would be appropiated if the Pnoenix's power burns out these fakers and then, makes them reborn as "real". Don't you think?

    I would like them real with an ongoing. As superheroes for a change without the mind control for a change.

Basically, the Butterfly Effect strikes again.
    So, Gwen being the Knightress, or whoever, in Heroes Reborn is most likely linked to her father, Captain Stacy, being the chief of police, very much like Spidergwen in her reality?

    Her codename is Nightbird. And yeah, it's probably the same as Batgirl Barbara Gordon's origin. Dad won't let her be a cop, so she becomes a vigilante instead.

    Out of curiousity had already be decided who is going to be Nighthawk's "joker"? You can't be a batman expy without your personal obsessive insane nemesis, is kind of a rule.

    Going by Heroes Reborn: Marvel Double Action #1 it should be the (Green) Goblin. So the cover homages the classic cover with dead Gwen in Peter's arms, but the "death of the sidekick" trope might play out like the death of Jason Todd 's Robin.

    The Blur issue was another "hero" showing off like #2. Just like Hyperion, it seems Blur is unaware that reality has been manipulated.
    Thank God this is weekly.

    Not gonna lie, I’m bored of this event already. The entire thing just feels like one of the ‘X vs the Marvel Universe’ minis where just every issue is the MU characters jobbing to individual Squadron members. As being an event, it just feels even more pointless than Age of Ultron did and it really doesn’t help that the only points where it seems that story progress is made is with the couple pages at the end of each issue of the Avengers being brought together.

    Can I recommend Siege Society then? The Squadron Supreme is soundly defeated in that one.
    spoilers:
    The team used to have at least eleven members, but five team members are killed there and another one goes in Magneto and the Mutant Force.

    Good choice of artist but I wasn't a fan of Edgy Redneck Spectrum.

    Honestly, I'm not sure whose idea it was to go with "Heroes Reborn/Return" cuz they could've gotten away with naming this "Squadron Supreme/Sinister".

    Haven't read any spin-offs for the past two weeks tho.

    I've been a fan of the art/story combinations. I think they go well together. Also interesting that they used this to age up the new starbrand

    Thought it was pretty cool that Siege Society adapted the rest of the classic Squadron Supreme members, even if they did get killed off.

    In better hands this could be a pretty decent take down of nationalism I suppose but in context it's kind all over the place. The gist of the event is still pretty solid: The Squadron, representative of DC as it was in the Silver Age, protects America but only America (Doesn't seem to be the case in Siege Society but in the rest of the books nationalism is a pretty direct and unsubtle theme) while their relative lack of humanity at best keeps them from being able to handle nuance, causing Hulk, the X-men, Rocket, etc to be percieved as one-note villains and Peter Parker to be treated as a fanboy, and at worst makes the Squadron violent sociopaths. Either way not an uncommon response to somebody who refuses to question their righteousness. Meanwhile, whenever we see Marvel original characters interact with the Squadron they come to realize the flaws that exist in the heroes and, while few of them have the power to push back, they always come away determined to move beyond what the Squadron represents and into a more human-focused attempt.

    So far, the themes are handled both unsubtle and unfocused, which to my mind is good because I don't find those themes to be particularly interesting and I'm just enjoying the way that the Marvel universe has been crammed into the shape of DC and watching it slowly expanding beyond it.

    I'm liking in this event more then I thought. Maybe because its weekly and we are flying through the story.



    Also how strong is Doctor Spectrum? I guess I didn't realize he was that strong.
