Step aside, Nick Fury. You have competition.

Since the inception of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Nick Fury has proven to be a steadfast leader of the Avengers.

Admittedly, yes, the Kree-Skrull conflict has kept him a little more occupied in recent years, but without Fury, the Avengers wouldn’t be what they are.

But a new leader will soon make his mark.

Don’t worry. This leader will not take over the Avengers, or at least the “old” cohort.

This makes me extremely happy because Kamala is clearly one of my favorite Marvel characters.

Of course, Winderbaum doesn’t mention the Young Avengers by name, but given what’s already happening in the MCU and his shyness, that’s practically a given.
