Indeed, she can. And does.

I kinda want to see the "Proto-Mayday"/Captain Maydayverse from Earth-91110 make a comeback. Maybe they should do a Mayday-verse comic where MC2 May teams up with Earth X May, Earth-1121 May, Dark Ages May and Captain Maydayverse in the same way they have done the Gwenverse stuff.

Didn't the Captain Universe Spidey reveal that he would lose his CU powers if he went to another universe? Wouldn't that apply to other Captain Universes?

Oh yeah...Slott and Hickman added that stipulation to the Uni-Power which wasn't exactly a problem before especially considering that...well...The Enigma Force originated on Earth-7614 not Earth-616 and it was once used by Doctor Strange to travel from the Guardians of the Galaxy's future back to Earth-616. Honestly, the whole "One Universe, One Captain Universe" thing should just be ignored like Slott's Mayday being the actual Earth-982 Mayday or...you know...that comic book Trouble where Aunt May gave birth to Peter and was lying this whole time.

earth-616 mayday revival when after the second spider-verse movie?

[Matt Rat]

earth-616 mayday revival when after the second spider-verse movie?

I would not rule it out, so far we've seen

1. Several Marvel.com articles reference the pregnancy and speculate on the fate of the baby
2. The publication of The Lost Hunt, specifically focusing on pre-OMD 616 developments such as the marriage and baby
3. A reference to 'the baby' as one of Norman's many sins in Gold Goblin

[CaptainUniverse]

Here's hoping, I would prefer it if the Lost Hunt universe simply replaces Earth-616 outright. That way we get both Ben and Mayday back.

I hope that's the case, there's certaingly something odd going on with that book at the moment

1. It was billed on the first issue as a 'special event'
2. The final issue's solicit says there's an ending 'noone will see coming'
3. Dematteis said on his blog he wrote this without much consideration for later 616 developments

Allow me to make one addition.

Yeah, something does feel a bit...odd but in a good way. I don't think Lost Hunt is a simple case of nostalgia.

Oh yeah! I can't believe I forgot. She should come back sometime...her backstory was rather interesting what with Peter having died when she was fourteen and then she went on to become Iron Man 2020's provisional partner in crime.

Hunh took over for Pete after he died? Ok, sure... why does she look AND dress like Jessica Drew?
