“Whatever happened to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes?” the trailer for Heroes Reborn begs to question, where the Avengers never existed. Following a small series of teasers (where Wolverine leads a different team and Phil Coulson runs for office), the official announcement trailer bundled in a wild mixture of unexpected events from a Marvel comic book series.

A World Without The Avengers in Heroes Reborn

In Heroes Reborn, several imperative events in the Marvel universe don’t seem to have occurred. Captain America remains frozen, Tony Stark never becomes the walking tank known as Iron Man, and Thor has not picked up the hammer. Only the Supreme Squadron saves the world from dangers, but to the knowledge of Blade, the Avengers did exist – somehow. Within this breach of reality lies a great journey for Blade to embark on. Upon waking up in a world where everything has shifted, who knows who or what could be behind this.

Heroes Reborn comes from the brilliant mind of Jason Aaron, who’s known for his Marvel work with Ghost Rider, Wolverine, and Avengers. The fractured reality narrative in Heroes Reborn follows up after the events of the Avengers series by Aaron. In addition, the following quote from Aaron emphasizes the impact he’s had with the new series:
