Anyway it's fortuitous timing that the DCEU went ahead and decided to put Peacemaker in Suicide Squad 2 and give him his own TV series to boot The only future for John Walker is to be reincarnated as a pisstake

i feel like this is related to the big shift in the MCU away from the secret-identity theme that characterizes legacy comics almost none of these characters have secret identities and so they don't really need codenames thor's name is literally just "thor"

nobody actually calls her "captain marvel" at any point, everyone just calls her some variation on carol danvers, because there's no gap between her private identity and her hero identity people relentlessly rag on quill for trying to call himself "star lord"

Why does US Agent even exist
-
In comics? I believe he's supposed to be a dark reflection of Captain America. If Cap is supposed to be the "good" things 'bout the country Agent is the "bad". Pretty basic story telling device.

Wanda had no name until a few weeks ago in the mcu, so I wouldn't rule it out. This is the same universe that allowed thunderbolt Ross to keep his job after Harlem. If you grew up reading comics, he's US Agent. The suit, the actions, he's us agent. Just need someone to say it

I was just thinking the other night about how the thing that has reliably bugged me about MCU properties has been when they shoe-horn in the shoutout to character code names or costumes. Like, Luke Cage in his costume, Zemo with the mask or Agatha calling Wanda the Scarlet Witch.
