I think so too.
And hopefully Miles gets to introduce Shift to his family by the end of all this.
I hope they both get to stay around in 616. Actually, based on the solicits we've gotten so far, I don't think they'll even be going to 1610; at least not for an extended period of time. Besides, if the Ultimate Universe was going to play a part in a major way, I feel like Marvel would hype it up more.
I agree with this though. Maybe Tomoe could be a Phin-like character? I remember there being perhaps a hint of her being a somewhat sympathetic character in her debut appearance in Iron Man. I think Snatcher has some potential. Get him involved with Hydra or a revamped Sons of the Serpent.I think the things the characters i'd like to see retained from this run are:
- Tiana/Starling
- Mr. Sumida
- Quantum & The Assessor
- Frost Pharoh
- The Snatcher - The dude needs a better code name, but I think his powerset makes for an interesting antagonist.
Now going forward I would like to see Bombshell actually be an important character again. Miles' grandma made into a more important character, I'd like to see Tomoe come back as a villain. Maybe take some queues from the video game and make a "Phin Mason" for the comics. I've also said this before, I want Alpha to have a heel turn and become a villain for Miles because it makes too much sense on a meta-level; to "legacy characters" created to be foils of Peter Parker only 1 got universally rejected by the audience at large and treated as the butt of the joke while the second has become ingrained in the mythos now.
