Agreed the only reason nobody suspected Hank and has been allowed to do anything he wanted on X-force was because of the respect, friendship and trust everyone has on him, because he earned this for years with his work and dedication, his reputation has keep him safe so far but now that he´s been discovered he´s going to have to face the music and it´s not going to be pretty imo.
Exactly poor villiains could bassically do nothing, or become even more fearsome, who knows, in the face of a truly united super hero world.A great coming together that accomplishes insane feats (like, say, obliterating the Phalanx and Dominions) before the conclusion of this run? Yeah, that sounds like the type of thing waiting at the end of a Hickman run. There's bits and pieces of this unity here and there, but it needs to become more frequent and organic. Notice how Magik's a professor at a non-mutant school of magic, and is a friend of Strange besides that. Dani's time as a Valkyrie has afforded her connections with other parts of the MU so seeing her catching up at the Gala was cool. Even just casual assists from the wider MU or organizations during typical X-Stuff would be good. Hell, you could create an entire run of how frustrated villains are in the face of that type of cooperation and camaraderie.
This is why I like the SWORD title so much it´s the window for the X-men to interact again with the main marvel universe characters appart from what each one of them has been doing on their own. I would love to see more Magik and Dr Strange cooperation or even Dany and Thor, Rogue recently was an Avenger and of course the elephant in the room with Wanda, Pietro, Lorna and Magneto is being adressed on SWORD.
So I think we will see some fights, misundertandings, between each faction but in the end I think we are going back to a united marvel super hero world or at least a few scenes involving that and I for one would love to see it.
