Latest reports suggest the introduction of a few new characters in Loki Season 2 and the establishment of a team of the same name in the MCU.
The team that is said to appear is none other than Marvel Comics’ Justice League, Squadron Supreme.
Who are the squadron supreme
The Squadron Supreme is a team of superheroes, who have similar powers resembling those of the DC Justice League.
The initial team members are Hyperion, Power Princess, Nighthawk, Doctor Spectrum, Amphibian, Skrullian Skymaster, and Whizzer.
Made up of a team of powerful members, it will be a great addition to the MCU, to introduce more powers and potential teams that will be able to handle big threats on their own.
Future implications for the MCU
Following the events of Loki Season 1, we see Loki traveling to a completely different version of an Earth, with Kang being the head of TVA in that specific universe.
It’s a great time to introduce Squadron Supreme’s Earth 712 team and show the implications of breaking the timeline, which was done by a variant of Loki, Sylvie.
There was also an Earth 616 version of Squadron Supreme which was introduced in the comics later, after compiling different versions of the same characters from different multiverses and universes compiling an Earth 616 version of the same team.
There have also been various other versions of this team, each generated from a different origin story with different characters added to the roster.
Based on the rumors alone, it has been reported that at least 5-6 members of Squadron Supreme will be introduced next season for Loki. This further increases the fans’ anticipation for the next episode. That might as well be true, considering how the Loki S2 release date is locked for a summer 2023 release date, which makes our wait a bit shorter compared to how long it we still have to wait for the other series.
