for Thaddeus Ross in Marvel Cinematic Universe -- Extremely Realistic

This time is much different with current MCU, even if Canon or Legends. ** In this extremely world, Eternals and Gods are actually mighty human series; Asgardian experienced industrial revolutions; Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes just stronger then ordinal people, not sure if they could reach the level of now MCU. ** Carol Danvers had joined the experiment with several members, but all of them became "The Frankenstein's monsters", without the missions, they had been frozen in the concrete blocks. One day, Wendy Lawson (Mar-Vell) and her partners stole some Mindless Ones' blocks including Carol to started an experiment, while she was busily to demonstrate Kree Empire's crimes of aggression. Most of the superhuman powers would be reduced, maybe a bit stronger, or a monster. Of course, mutants and inhumans are much terrible than we've imagined.
