The teasers use words such as “Champion,” “Amaze” (via PreviewsWorld), “Avenge” (via CBR), “Defend” (via ComicBook), “Guard” (via Blastr) and “X-citing” (via ComicVine), referencing Champions, Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Defenders, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the X-Men, implying that the entire Marvel Universe will be drawn into Secret Empire – which would not be surprising if Steve Rogers winds up being the story’s villain. Secret Empire takes its name from the fictional…
