Prediction for my future: SO MUCH UGLY-CRYING
So here’s the gist of things: Ulysses is an Inhuman with precognitive abilities. There are super-teams who think his foresight is a useful tool in keeping the world safe, and others who have concerns about the “probability ratio” of his visions. So, although this event is called “Civil War II,” the only thing it has in common with Marvel’s first Civil War event is that a lot of super-people disagree about how to do their super-personing and some of them get hurt in the process.
In a community as large as Marvel’s universe, it makes total sense that this sort of fundamental disagreement would come up every so often. Different kinds of powers, training, and personalities are going to give individuals different perspectives on how to best protect themselves, each other, and the world. I don’t usually get into big events like this, but the stakes here feel very real and I have a lot of feelings about it. Please understand that I must now use all caps because lower case letters cannot fully express my emotions.
SO MANY OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE ARE HERE!
