MCU Phase 3: 20 Easter Eggs & References Marvel Should Sneak In
9. The Quantum Bands
In the comics, the Quantum Bands were acquired by S.H.I.E.L.D. and donned by S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Wendell Vaughn in an attempt to thwart an attack on a S.H.I.E.L.D. base by A.I.M. Showing great skill in wielding their cosmic energy powers, he kept them and became the intergalactic hero Quasar. As the Marvel Cinematic Universe expands in to the cosmos, the potential addition of Quasar in Phase 4 or beyond becomes more realistic and, as such, seeing the Quantum Bands in a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility in Phase 3 (in the same way we saw the Sinister Six's equipment in Oscorp's hands in Sony's Amazing Spider-Man franchise) would be a nice little Easter egg to hint at the hero's future arrival on screen.
