If the leader does not speak to you, it was that at the time, he was not known under this name. Moreover, during the 1h58 of Captain America : Brave New Worldhe is never called as such. But under his civil name, Samuel Sterns. Doctor of profession, especially scientist (cellular biologist and professor precisely), the attendant was introduced for the first time in the MCU in… 2008, in The incredible hulk.
A rather unhappy comedy
He is the famous Mr Blue, the man with whom Bruce Banner Dialogue throughout the film and which represents a hope for him, because able to make an antidote to eradicate Hulk from his body. Spoiler Alert: Obviously that the said antidote will not work – finally if but temporarily. Above all, under the threat of a Emil Blonsky Revanchard and eager to take over on Hulk, Sterns will find themselves forced to give life to the abomination, another monstrous creation from Banner’s blood.
The story could have stopped there. But it is by being knocked out by abomination that Sterns will change their destiny. And that the leader was born. A drop of banner blood introduced into a gaping wound on the scientist’s skull will upset the doctor’s metabolism, which will mutate and see its brain capacities develop at high speed. If, in the comics, the leader does not arise in this way – it is the explosion of radioactive products that he moved which will radiate it to the gamma rays, not Banner’s blood – the MCU gave him a look Very accurate comics, less close to the versions where his skull points up but with a larger head than normal, ribbed and venous, showing a real deformation of his cranial box and her brain which exceeds in places of it.
Mental control and king of probabilities
It is the same for his powers. In comics, the leader can control beings irradiated to gamma shelves, submit to his will the weakest spirits, accurately anticipate the future through calculations and probabilities, allowing him to have a continuous step ahead on his enemies and to be able to predict their next movement. Brave New World did not keep everything and above all applied to offer a more realistic and contemporary version of the character. The mental control is there, but in the form of luminous flashes and the diffusion of music, Mr Blue, which necessarily echoes its nickname in The incredible hulk.

But it is ultimately in the calculation aspect that the leader is successful and important for the MCU. The latter, we suspected it before going to see the film, is the real brain of the events of Brave New World. Attention, spoilers: it is he who hires the Serpent Societyhe who transforms the president Taddeus ross a red hulk Without his knowledge, using the statesman to harm him, as the latter used his intelligence to access the White House. And it is still he who announces an important truth to Sam Wilson during the post-generic scene: the world is not ready for what happens, evoking the arrival of other people. One can easily imagine that the leader has seen the potential dangers to come and therefore the main challenges of Secret Wars.
Back in the MCU in Secret Wars?
This prediction, as much to link Brave New World as a result for “hyper” The public, cannot (must) not be harmless. Left behind for … 17 years in the cellar of MCUit is difficult to see how the leader might not reappear soon. Even if ultimately, there is only Captain America, via the post-stage, which has already been formalized for the future, with the famous “Captain America will return”.

Already, because he is not dead. Then, because it seems to know a lot and this knowledge will necessarily be useful, at a time when to another. Avengers : Secret Wars Faced with reboostering the Marvel universe on the scriptural level and offer us a large-scale battle, it would be a shame to do without such a talent, as evil as it is at the time of the Grand Final, right? Finally, the last reason for a possible return is due to the use of the leader in Captain America : Brave New World. Bringed to pull the strings in the shadows, Sterns never really leaves it in two hours of debate and without, either, displaying a monster charisma. A shame for a master of manipulation. And a shot to be corrected, who knows, for the MCU.
