I don't see Marvel doing it in the near future ( unless BM gets a little more popular), but this could be a really interesting "What If" story. A good miniseries could really explore the results of Blue Marvel staying active and the political fall out in the 60's and 70's and how that could have altered history.
Oh man that could be great. You could pick an event from each decade and make a 6 issue Blue Marvel What If? Mini. Off the top of my head, something like:
1. What If Blue Marvel helped in the first fight against Galactus?
2. What if Blue Marvel was involved in the Kree/Skrull War?
3. What if Blue Marvel was involved in the(1984) Secret Wars?
4. What if Blue Marvel was involved in The Infinity Gauntlet?
5. What if Blue Marvel was involved in House Of M?
6. Blue Marvel: The End
The possibilities are dizzying. It would be great.
Damn good ideas.
Given that Blue Marvel is basically the foster father of they new Watcher he should have access to see into alternate universes to see his alternate trajectories in those universes.
Oh and he also has a son who is basically a metaphysical being outside ... existence?
However it seems King Hyperion might have killed the alternate BMs in other universes leaving only 616 BM.
Speaking of which....what would y'all do with those hanging plot threads of BMs foster father of new Watcher and his outside of existence metaphysical son?
It is worth wondering that if Adam and Monica are some Beyonder who ran away, where the hell are the memories they would have from back then?
Though I do doubt they'll turn out to be some Beyonder who ran away, at best I can see their power sources being connected with Beyonders, (Kinda like how Hulk's power is connected with TOBA, and how Immortal Hulk all but states that F4's is connected with TOAA's).
In Marvel itself, all of Adam's random counterparts only show up once, so yeah, a what if like that wasn't done with 'em yet.
Spidey got a "Spider's Shadow" what if mini series, so maybe Adam could get one too.
So like Marvel itself would advance in real time? 'Cause honestly, it's surprising how little the "Life Story" style of comics Marvel has used lol.
Sooo Defenders Beyond #3 is out..... Any update/ spoiler about our Man of Might?
Not really much to report as far as Adam goes in Defenders Beyond #3. He does have a few panels that remind you of the Matrix -- the scene where Neo confronts the Architect. Other than that, he's mostly in cerebral leader mode for most of the issue.
The rest of the highlights...
spoilers:end of spoilers
Galactus' Mom becomes the new Phoenix host as the team enters the White Hot Room. The team ends up battling the PF/Taaia. The Beyonder is also there and assists the team by throwing a blender full of quarks and other stuff at the PF to distract her from Loki. Adam finally gets to "cut loose" by using antimatter blasts on the PF, but the PF is unphased. (I guess I'll have to wait for another series until the writer explores what else Adam can do after 80+ years of wielding a nigh infinite energy source.) The battle draws to an end when Tigra becomes the next avatar of the Tiger God. Some crap about cats eating birds, or whatever. The cliffhanger leaves us with a certain golden herald that I haven't seen in a while.

Form what I've read, spoilers:end of spoilers
BM tanked a blast from the primordial Phoenix who is a threat for even old David Beyondhoff. That doesn't sound like a mid showing to me
Bringing back the old, killing the young: that's the Marvel way
Well, BM is supposed to be durable enough to tank a blast like that...as would Thor, Hulk, Gladiator and others in that class. I mean in the last Dr. Doom series, Adam survived a spell that called forth the collective energies of multiple suns. It's not that they're downplaying it per se, it's just that we should consider that feat as par for his class rank.
Personally, I was hoping to see Ewing be more creative with Adam's power set -- or at the very least better demonstrate his connection with Omega Servitors. Don't just fall back to generic antimatter energy, unless Ewing is seeking to establish that Adam's powers function like Molecule Man's, only the opposite charge. More. I want more.
