Marvel Legacy #1 Spoilers: What Major Threat Did Avengers 1,000,000 BC Defeat That Has Returned? Plus Fate Of SHIELD, Deadpool & New Avengers?

Spoilers, Top Story

Marvel Legacy #1 Spoilers follow.

Marvel Legacy #1 very much about yesterday and…

…today.

Marvel Comics the Avengers 1,000,000 BC going into Marvel Legacy #1. It is a cool concept with some interesting legacy characters including a Black Panther…

…a Starbrand…

…a Phoenix…

…an Iron Fist…

…a Ghost Rider…

…Odin wielding Thor’s Mjolner…

…an Agamotto, the powerful force behind Doctor Strange, all together as…

…the Avengers 1,000,000 BC.

We also learned before Marvel Legacy #1, in the pages of the Generations Thor #1 special that two of the team members had a romance…

…Odin and Phoenix with the latter back in modern day…

…I’m not clear on Odin’s fate in Marvel Comics nowadays nor how Asgard has become Asgardia, but I welcome feedback on that.

With all that, let’s get to Marvel Legacy #1!

Marvel Legacy #1 Spoilers FINALLY follow.

The threat in the past that Avengers 1,000,000 BC battled was a Celestial…

…named the Fallen after its defeat.

In modern day, the Starbrand, whose host I don’t recognize, seeks out a seemingly sleep-driving Ghost Rider Robbie Reyes not Johhny Blaze.

Starbrand wants the Ghost Rider to fall…

…while Ghost Rider wants Starbrand to fall. Are they both being manipulated by the Fallen?

At the same time, we learn that this is SHIELD’s last day of existence since it was co-opted by evil Captain America or Hydra Supreme as he’s now known…

…plus their leader Phil Coulsen was killed by Deadpool, on Captain America’s orders, who is now on the run.

Anyhow, in the Ghost Rider vs. Starbrand battle, the Starbrand literally lands on and destroys the SHIELD agents. So, their last day with SHIELD Was also their last day alive. A little too on the nose I think.

Ghost Rider has had enough and gives the Starbrand the Penance Stare and…

…wins the fight.

So, two beings who were part of the Avengers 1,000,000 BC, did battle with modern day hosts over the Fallen unknowingly in the case of the Ghost Rider. BTW, where is Johnny Blaze in modern Marvel?

Anyhow, two archeologists that had been escorted by the now deceased SHIELD agents in South Africa find hieroglyphs about the Avengers 1,000,000 BC and…

…the Fallen who is looking for the “final host” which…

…turns out to be Thor’s brother Loki…

…who failed in his attempt to capture the blue infinity stone of the mind which was the other overarching story in Marvel Legacy #1 (spoilers here).
