Since May 2015 The Forgotten Ranger turned The Forgotten Avenger now turned back into The Forgotten Ranger has been an online dominant hit for readers across the globe. While many wonder what the future will hold for Corporate Red and a possible or in this case imminent MCU crossover there’s still some unanswered questions and we’re here to break them down:
Who really created The Corporate Initiative?
In the original drafts of The Forgotten Ranger readers learn that Corporate Red was created by the World’s Security Council, but that Next Gen Quantum was created by S.H.I.E.L.D.. In later drafts which would feature the prequel saga’s we learn the devices which required secret legislative’s to be approves by the senate and through the president and black budge funds and then through scientists at a mysterious base in Nevada. This project overseer by a man by the name who readers would learn by the name of Professor Jonathan, a professor of Harvard and City College who is later recruited by the Council and is brief about Queen Edea. In the new updated drafts we learn that Back to the Future’s Dr. Emmet Brown has aligned with him. This now leads to bigger mystery.
Where were the Corporate Rangers in The Forgotten Ranger/ Chitauri InVasion?
This is the biggest debated question of The Forgotten Ranger. Where the heck were Corporate Red’s teammates during the Chitauri InVasion? Why didn’t Corporate Red reach out to them? For reasons which seem out of place Corporate Red refuses to reach out to his teammates during a global crisis. To make things even more mysterious neither the Council or S.H.I.E.L.D. reaches out to them. When the Chitauri InVasion begins we never hear from any of Corporate Rangers. So where were they? There’s multiple theories. Either they were hiding, or they were fighting, but its never covered in the story? Or they just weren’t in NY. One Corporate Ranger that was probably not in NY was Corporate Green. Alexis more likely was either in Washington D.C. or overseas. We’ll never know unless its explained in the The Forgotten Ranger sequel. Its like the mystery of where was Corporate Red during the Harlem Incident. That we learned in The Forgotten Ranger.
Agent Quantum: I was overseas fighting Hydra.
Does The Forgotten Ranger reveal the Kree’s Revenge in Agents of SHIELD 100?
In the current season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. the Kree have enslaved the humans. But why? While the season just started a few weeks ago, the answer may have been in The Forgotten Ranger. In the prequel saga during the Kecksburgh crash members of the US military, NASA and S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately went to the site and sealed off the area from not only citizens, but law enforcement and fire fighters as well. Members of the Council were the first on the scene and order law enforcement and fire fighters to stay away from the Kree which was identified as a UFO. The Kree was later cornered and killed. In The Forgotten Ranger the crash of one Skrull alone later to a large fleet of Skrulls heading to Earth. Could a similar situation have lead to the Kree’s revenge in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Who glitch the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
This question remains a mystery? Was it Corporate Red when he found the Time Stone back in 2015 in the secret ending of The Forgotten Ranger? Was it Doctor Strange the year after? Was it the Skrull Empire? Or did the Agents of SHIELD recent time travel cause the major glitch? One thing is certain the discovery was made during Spider-man Homecoming. Uh 8 years later anyone? Along with the fact that the Avengers had already moved out of Avengers Tower into Avengers Facility during Captain America Civil War.
Where was Corporate Red during Age of Ultron?
Its revealed during the Age of Ultron secret ending Corporate Red was retirement.
Where was Corporate Red during Captain America Civil War?
Many fans were expecting Corporate Red to fly in during the final fight scene between Iron Man vs Captain America vs Bucky Barnes. CR flying in through the opening vents would’ve been a classic talk about moment for years. But it didn’t happen? Some argue its part of Stark’s and CR’s deal to keep their alliance they promised during the Secret Age of Ultron ending a secret. Either way it would’ve had the crowd flipping had CR flown in rescuing Stark against Cap and Bucky. The same guy who refer Stark to Spider-man and gave him the idea for Iron Spidey.
Why hasn’t Stark revealed Corporate Red yet?
Again this goes back to Age of Ultron secret ending. Both Stark and CR made a deal to keep their alliance a secret from the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D., Council, and whoever. Both are aware that something and that there be no win for the Avengers and that CR will be the key of MCU’s last hope if Thanos kills everyone off. It may also have to do with Spider-man. The Spider-man CR was referring to was an adult not a teenager. Both CR and possibly Doctor Strange are aware of the glitch.
Corporate Red sub-messages in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
So far out of all the CR sub-messages only one has been acknowledge, the 317 in Peter Parker’s cellphone in Spider-man homecoming, which was confirmed back in October via Twitter by Guardians Director/ Infinity War Producer James Gunn. The Forgotten Ranger also predicted the destruction of Asgard before the production of Thor 3. Before the release of Spider-man Homecoming Corporate Red says its been seven years since he’s been retired. In Spider-man Homecoming in the movie the words 8 years laters? What? In Age of Ultron Ultron reveals he had past body. He asks Jarvis where’s my.. then stops himself and asks where’s your body? Readers learned that Ultron fought Corporate Red in his original body. A chip giving to Corporate Red by Dr. Hank Pym was used to remove Ultron from his body. Ultron originally a peacekeeping program that went rouge. After being defeated by Corporate Red the chip was handed secretly over to Baron von Strucker by Alexander Pierce.
Is Corporate Red the Secret Avenger?
From what the fans saw in the Infinity War trailer it doesn’t look good for everyone (everyone). Plus everyone, except Corporate Red has been confirmed for Infinity War, and the CR rumor said that everyone would be thrown into the war to lose to Thanos and the new guy would come. Then there’s filming for Avengers 4 which appears to be either flashbacks or time travel. Either way one thing is certain there’s a new hero coming to Avengers 4 and he’s ready to make his mark. Will be Corporate Red, Next Gen Quantum or an upgrade? Back in March during a new secret ending part of Logan, during the West Chester incident Next Gen Quantum finds a file from the dead Dr. Hank McCoy that reads Red Illuminati Initiative / Upgrade to Corporate Red/Next Gen Quantum. Could this be the Secret Avenger to Corporate Red? Another sign that points at Corporate Red being the Secret Avenger, few months ago there was going to be a major Corporate Red announcement. Few days before the announcement Stan Lee at a Marvel event said there is a Secret Avenger and then was quickly stopped by Marvel reps before leaking further details. Few days later the Corporate Red announcement was cancelled. Coincidence? Here’s another major piece of evidence it could be Corporate Red. This past summer there was going to be a major Corporate Red announcement. Then last minute Disney and the cast of the Avengers announce there will be an Avengers Infinity War trailer at D23. Coincidence? Hey, don’t get mad at the messenger, get mad at the Infinity War poster that shows Thanos completing the Gauntlet.
