Did Monica call Blue Marvel in WandaVision?
It seems like a lot of viewers had no idea what they were getting with WandaVision. After the first episode of the Disney Plus series, people were still confused. There were hints of Wanda controlling the people in the town but could just assume because there was no concrete evidence. The good thing is that the confusion didn’t last long.
Throughout subsequent episodes, we found out that Wanda not only stole Vision’s body and brought him back to life (against his previous wishes), but that she is also mind controlling a town full of people. Among them was S.W.O.R.D. Captain Monica Rambeau.
After Wanda saw the S.W.O.R.D. pendant around Monica’s neck, the Scarlet Witch physically expelled Monica from her made-up town of Westview. When Monica got her bearings, she went to work trying to solve the problem. Once Monica realized that she and her team needed further guidance, she called a specialist. The question everyone wants to know is who that specialist is.
Who is the expert that Monica Rambeau texted in WandaVision?
One of the great things about Marvel Studios is the way they often randomly bring in fan-favorite characters. We’ve already seen beloved characters like Agent Jimmy Woo (Ant-Man and the Wasp) and Darcy Lewis (Thor and Thor: The Dark World) show up in WandaVision. Could the show be doing it again?
Monica mentioning the specialist but not their name was undoubtedly a creative choice. It left people to wonder who she called. Ever since, fans on social media have speculated about everyone, with some thinking it could be Dr. Strange and others thinking it will lead to the debut appearance of Reed Richards. Both of those picks are undoubtedly smart choices. However, this writer has another idea. What if Monica Rambeau called Adam Brashear a.k.a. The Blue Marvel?
Who is the Blue Marvel and why debut in WandaVision?
Blue Marvel is a hero that made his first appearance in 2008 in Legend of the Blue Marvel. His story says that he’s been around since before JFK was president. He was saving the world and was, at one point in time, the most beloved hero on Earth. That was until his mask was ripped.
After the world discovered he was black, there was controversy (this was the 1960s in America). After that, the president asked him to retire. An unfortunate moment, but Adam got the hint. He wasn’t going to protect a world that couldn’t accept him for who he was – despite the fact that saving their lives countless times. Decades later, an old enemy of Adam’s returned and got him back in the saddle. Blue Marvel was back!
There are a couple of important things to know about Blue Marvel. First, he’s one of the most powerful beings in the universe. He’s beaten the Sentry in a fight and knocked out a Hulk with one punch. Second, and most important, he’s one of the smartest people on Earth. So much that even Reed Richards and T’Challa go to him when they’re stumped. This is one of the reasons why Monica would go to him. He’s more than capable of figuring out how to stop or contain the power Wanda is using. It also helps that Monica has a connection to him in the comics as well. They were teammates on one of Marvel’s best teams, the Ultimates.
Could this be the beginning of the Ultimates?
The Ultimates are some of the strongest and smartest people in Marvel Comics. There’s Monica Rambeau, Captain Marvel, T’Challa, Blue Marvel, and America Chavez. Alone, each of them can take on an army of people. Together, they accomplished the impossible. One of their accomplishments was turning Galactus from the destroyer of worlds to the restorer or planets.
The Ultimates was a short-lived comic book series but that certainly doesn’t take away from who they are as a group. Most of the Ultimates are already in the MCU or have been cast. Adding Blue Marvel to the mix during WandaVision brings exposure to a new character in a popular show. If he’s the one who helps stop Wanda, he’ll be looked at as one of the greats before he gets put into a Marvel Studios movie.
Hopefully, Blue Marvel will be Monica’s expert in WandaVision. He’s someone we haven’t seen the likes of in the MCU. He’s incredibly powerful on top of being a genius. It’s usually one or the other. Banner may have both, but he’s reluctant to use his strength.
If that’s not enough, Blue Marvel has a history that would make for an incredible TV series. Marvel Studios has a habit of surprising viewers. This could be yet another example of us getting a character we never knew we needed when we didn’t expect it. And, if he becomes popular, maybe the Ultimates replace the Avengers as the MCU’s premiere superhero team.
