8 Ways Infinity War Could Affect Netflix's Marvel Universe

7. Alien Leftovers

Defenders MCU
Marvel Studios

Though familiar fare for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which is more comfortable with the fantastical aspects of a cinematic comic book universe, audiences will be seeing alien tech left over from Thanos and his soldiers come Netflix's later series.

The same way Chitauri tech was scavenged and stolen for profit in Spider-Man: Homecoming, a variety of more advanced, out of this world tech will cause real trouble in the future.

The threats the heroes are used to—from lying politicians to mob bosses and their gangs, and even ridiculously skilful fighters from parts unknown—will definitely become a much bigger problem with a hostile alien race's weapons at their disposal.

hey could, for all we know, end up being provided by the always recurring, ever-abused Turk Barrett who, as proven by The Punisher's first season, still hasn't learned his lesson and cleaned up his act. If anyone were to make a profit from the invasion it'd be him, selling advanced arms to Hell's Kitchen's underworld.

This isn't just limited to technology, either; substances, materials and magic rocks could transform people into dangerous monsters or out of control meta-humans. While it might delve too deep into the fantastical for Netflix's usual fare (Iron Fist's dragons notwithstanding), handled correctly, it'd certainly enhance the service's already colourful stories.
