Do you want to see X-MEN go back MARVEL

There may not be a lot of superbeings on Earth in the MCU yet, but that's going to change once all the humans with latent Inhuman genes suddenly find themselves with superpowers. It's already started, and I expect between now and Inhumans in 2018 it's going to become a pretty big issue. Once that does happen, the hysteria over mutants in the X-Men universe really won't make much sense if they tried to bring it over to the MCU.

Well, this is assuming the MCU got to have the X-Men in the first place.

They wouldn't need the Inhumans if they had mutants.
 
No, the question being asked in this thread does not imply an MCU in which the X-Men were already there. It implies an MCU in which the X-Men show up in the future, long after it began. The MCU won't need mutants once it has Inhumans.
 
I mean, the only Super the public knows about (Hulk)...the public DO fear him.

Hulk has an action figure in the MCU.

How hated could he really be?

SHIELD must have used some of that post-invasion cash they got to do a massive publicity push for the Avengers, good PR and all that.

"Come on, guys, it was totally SHIELD's idea to have the Avengers stop the Chitauri. The Hulk? Sure, he may have made some mistakes in the past, but move on! He saved the planet. Remember your free Avengers gift bags with signed posters on the way out."

That, or Tony's stolen his teammates' likenesses to fund his apartment renovations.

Does the Army own Steve's image, I wonder, or is he in the public domain? Poor guy.
 
I don't the impression that the general public knows very much about the Hulk in the MCU. The military seems to have kept him a secret prior to TIH--Blonsky knew nothing about him. The Hulk had something of an outing in that film, but it was just a couple of sightings, after which Banner went on the down-low and avoided transforming for a long time prior to The Avengers. He doesn't seem to be routinely rampaging through towns and putting fear into the hearts of the civilian populace.
 
Hell, there's entire corporations devoted to ridding the world of Iron Man. And he's got the best PR team on the planet, Mrs Robert Downey Jr.

So sure, Old Thunderbolt Ross probably holds regular Hulk-paraphernalia burning bonfires, inviting all the neighbourhood radio schlock jocks.

But being marketed to kids likely earns Bruce some goodwill from the general pop is all I'm saying. Being feared by everyone all the time doesn't seem to be the status quo for him at moment the way it is in the comics.
