Spider-Man with Six Arms

This mutated Spider-Man, a monstrous arachnid with six arms, echoes the Neogenic Nightmare storyline from the 1994 animated series, though the six-armed variant has appeared in the comics as well.
Ghost Rider Shogun

A flaming katana-wielding Ghost Rider, mounted on a fiery steed. The design suggests a Robbie Reyes variant, though the ever-shifting Spirit of Vengeance could manifest in any Rider.
The Punisher Riri Williams

An Ironheart variant, Riri Williams takes on the Punisher mantle. Her genius shines through in technologically advanced weaponry, a departure from the Punisher's typical arsenal. With an Ironheart series filmed a few years ago, this iteration is intriguing.
Bride Gamora

The Guardians of the Galaxy warrior dons a wedding dress, ready for battle. A clear nod to Kill Bill, this Gamora seeks revenge on Thanos for her thwarted wedding and the deaths of loved ones.
Moon Knight: Vampire Hunter
Image: ensigame.com
A Blade variant who's become the Fist of Khonshu. Resembling Mahershala Ali (the upcoming Blade movie), this Moon Knight's story will likely be further explored in the Marvel Zombies animated series.
Thanos the Wolverine
Image: ensigame.com
A fusion of Thanos and Wolverine, this Weapon X presents a compelling question: which character's origins dominate? Marvel's fondness for Wolverine mashups is evident.
Iron Man Kingo

Despite the Eternals' apparent demise in the MCU, Kingo persists. Perhaps Kumail Nanjiani's fondness for the character will lead to Kingo becoming Iron Man.
Ms. Marvel Wasp

Kamala Khan adopts the Wasp costume, retaining her Inhuman and mutant status, and access to Pym particles.
Supreme Wizard Maestro
Image: ensigame.com
With Dr. Strange frequently losing the title of Supreme Wizard (currently held by Dr. Doom in the comics), the magically-empowered, villainous old Hulk, Maestro, is a surprisingly plausible variant.
The Scarlet Witch Howard the Duck
Image: ensigame.com
Howard the Duck, gaining Scarlet Witch powers, is a testament to the playful nature of the What If…? series, particularly the Howard the Duck episode.
Hawkeye Dragon
Image: ensigame.com
Clint Barton as a dragon—a magical transformation, given his magically-influenced arrow. This also nods to the Marvel universes featuring anthropomorphic superheroes.
Silver Surfer Jubilee
Image: ensigame.com
Galactus's messenger becomes the mutant Jubilee, reflecting the female Silver Surfer in the new Fantastic Four movie and similar Marvel comics.
Captain America Skrull
Image: ensigame.com
A Secret Invasion alternate reality where Captain America is revealed as a Skrull, wielding a double shield.
Howard Stark's Affair with Cersei
Image: ensigame.com
Another Eternal-related cameo, featuring Howard Stark's affair with Cersei. The implications are left to the imagination.
Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe
Image: ensigame.com
A fully-armed Deadpool, ready to decimate a Marvel universe, mirroring the publisher's existing comic book storylines.
Hela Wields Mjolnir
Image: ensigame.com
Hela, ruler of Asgard, escaping her original MCU fate, previously appeared in the What If…? - An Immersive Story VR game.
Star-Lord Shang-Chi
Image: ensigame.com
A mashup of Shang-Chi and Star-Lord, utilizing the cosmic origins of the Ten Rings.
Loki in the Wild West
Image: ensigame.com
Loki confronts a Wild West variant of Shang-Chi.
Wanda, the Scarlet Witch of Infinity
Image: ensigame.com
This Scarlet Witch variant, from What If…? - An Immersive Story, becomes the powerful Infinity Witch.
Nova
Image: ensigame.com
A cameo featuring the Nova Corps symbol, hinting at future Nova-centric Marvel projects.
The Figure with Hela's Crown

A barely discernible figure, speculated to be Hela and Cassie Lang.
