Spoilers Supergirl - Season 2

Wouldn't it be hilarious if Marvel decided to kick the legs out from under Universal's attempt to create a classic monster "cinematic universe" by just knocking out a classic monster team-up movie of their own set in the MCU?

It'd give them an excuse to re-introduce Blade and I'm sure they have some Werewolf type characters that can tap. No shortage of mad scientist experiments either of course (they could even use Hulk!) and I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find stand-ins for the Mummy and the CftBL either.

They don't even have to use stand-ins. Marvel already has Dracula, Lord of Vampires and N'Kantu, the Living Mummy as Marvel characters.
 
Blade and The Howling Commandos (Frankenstein's Monster, Werewolf by Night, Man Thing, N'Kantu) appeared in a 2 part episode on Disney XD's Ultimate Spider-Man a couple of seasons ago. :)
 
^I think the fur vest the Monster's wearing in that cover is inspired by his look in Son of Frankenstein, Karloff's last turn in the role.
 
Teen Abomination showed up in Iron Man gunning for (morally inverted by Axis) Tony Stark.

Tony talks him down, says that Teen Abomination is a tragic victim who needs the help of a generous benefactor, to save him, not punch him. After a DNA scan reveals Teen Abomination to be Happy Hogan's son, Pepper's exhusband, and his "best" friend, Stark says "Oh, no, now I'm really going to help you. I was just going to harvest as much interesting stuff from your body and then push you down a garbage shoot, but luck would have it that you are my god son or nephew or some thing."
 
Almost anything is better than Rick Jones as A-Bomb(ination).

It's interesting that Jones says that he recently acquired his new skill set as a (wikileakslike) hacker, because he was pissed that he didn't have superpowers anymore, when somewhere else in Marvel, they retroactively upskilled the teen brigade from Avenger's #1 to not (only) be ham radio enthusiasts, but a hacker collective/internet community of gonzo bloggers... Because you know: Marvel-sliding-time.

(Actually that may have been Agents of Atlas vs The Avengers from 2009, that I read on a whim recently?)
