10 Ways What If... Could Change The MCU
2. What If Peggy Was A Super Soldier?
It’s widely expected that What If will delve into Peggy & Steve’s life together after he travelled back in time to be with her, but the issue with that is it’s not a What If. There is no If; it happened in canon. The only mystery around it is that we only saw them dance for the briefest of moments.
With Peggy an enduringly popular character though, there is a way What If could go in an unexpected direction for her. What If Peggy was the one turned into a super soldier?
Ostensibly similar to the suggested Bucky story, the fact that Peggy is both British and a woman offer considerable changes to the formula.
As mentioned with Bucky, Steve is likely to be nowhere near the military with his weedy frame, so he’s out of the picture. Agent Carter allowed Peggy to fly solo for a while, but it also focussed heavily on the struggles of the era, and how difficult it was for her to be taken seriously.
A ‘roided up super serum Peggy might have more freedom in this regard, and could become a bastion of hope to inspire a generation.
