... of the MCU, there *were* some underground supers at the time. Granted, Carol Danvers was out in space helping the Skrulls find a new home, so you can't fault her for not having been there. Some say the Chitauri Invasion is the 9/11 equivalent of the MCU.
This is the whole reason Marvel pointedly set all its original stories in the real New York City, with recognizable street names and landmarks, instead of making up a fictional equivalent the way DC Comics generally did (Metropolis, Gotham City, etc)

I'm aware of this, I just think their departure here was a conscious choice so the viewer is less likely to draw parallels between the chitauri invasion which destroyed NYC and 9/11 (which ironically was kind of the point of ultimates 2 which it was loosely based off of)

since they made a conscious decision to tamp down some of ultimates's edgelordism to make it pg13, I can understand why they would not want to invite this comparison since it makes the bloodless cgi violence less fun and glamorous
