What If...?: Episode 7

7. What If... Thor Were an Only Child?

In an alternate universe, Odin returns Loki to his frost giant parents, resulting in Thor growing up as a spoiled brat only child. While his exploits are mostly juvenile in nature as a party prince, he and his gang do leave entire planets in disarray after drinking and partying hard. Their latest venue is Midgard where he meets and is immediately smitten with Jane Foster. Worried about the planet’s safety, SHIELD, through Maria Hill as acting director, calls on the only power who can match the Asgardian Prince. Captain Marvel comes to the rescue and trades punches with the Thunder God but both seem evenly matched and end up in a stalemate. It doesn’t help that Carol seems to be gradually influenced by the levity and slowly shakes off her standoffish persona. In the absence of neutralizing force, Jane decides to call Frigga to discipline her son, which forces him to get his act together and clean up their mess. As he invites Jane to an official date, an army of Ultrons led by Vision land on the Mojave Desert with a sinister look on his face.

6. What If... Killmonger Rescued Tony Stark?

In an alternate universe, Tony Stark is rescued in Afghanistan by Erik Stevens, resulting in Iron Man not being born and Killmonger manipulating everyone around him in pursuit of power. First, he gets rid of Obadiah Stane to gain a valuable position at Stark Industries. Next, he convinces Tony to build the Liberator drone machines he conceptualized in his thesis, equipping them with vibranium care of Ulysses Klaue’s illegal trade. There he manages to murder both his cousin T’Challa and James Rhodes as well as Stark himself eventually after his schemes are unveiled. What follows is a game of passing the blame: T’Challa’s death in the hands of the Americans; Stark’s assassination by Wakanda. A war ensues between the two nations, cleverly orchestrated by Stevens, earning him the admiration and loyalty of his countrymen. In the end, he is awarded the serum to assume the Black Panther mantel, but his triumph is short-lived as both Shuri and Pepper Potts catch up and put two and two together, promising to take him down.
