One thing I'm curious to see after this fight with Korvac is what being a future version of themselves for a time does to the students at Avengers Academy. I guess it's been confirmed by Gage or someone else connected to the book that one of the cadets is going to go bad. I don't if that means they'll decide to go bad, but can be talked out of it, or if they'll straight up choose evil and that's that.
I haven't developed any sense for who it might be so far, beyond suspecting Mettle or Reptil. But those suspicions are almost entirely because they seem like the least likely candidates so far. It might be interesting (and fairly natural) if spending some time in a version of their future selves, with the knowledge that comes with that, might sway a few of the characters one way or the other. They weren't sure about being a hero, but now they see how it turns out and they like it. Conversely, they see what their life as a hero is like, see the regrets and missed opportunities it's brought them, and decide it's not worth it.
Maybe some of the future versions Carina selected are villains. We only had the last page to see them, that doesn't tell us much. I could assume that Striker's facial hair means he's gone evil, but it's just as likely poor taste on his part. If they are villains, that could have a similar effect. They see the thoughts they have as villains, and it scares them, or they see the confidence and success they have as criminals, and decide that's the path for them.
I wonder if the experience will have any effect on the future selves chosen. Will they remember being yanked into the past, having their bodies hijacked by a younger them to fight Korvac? What would that do to them?
