A small change changes the entire MCU and we discuss all of it's spoiler filled detail in our latest podcast. Marvel's What If? 201 "What if Nebula Joined the Nova Corps?" SynopsisExecutive Produced by: Bryan Andrews, A.C. Bradley, Brad Winderbaum with Kevin Feige Head Writer: A.C. Bradley Episode Written by: Matthew Chauncey Episode Directed By: Stephan Franck One small change can affect the entire universe! Nova Prime recruits Nebula to join the Nova Corps following Ronan the Accuser's successful coup against Thanos.  Five years later, after Xandar is sealed off from the universe to protect itself from Ronan's forces, Nebula discovers the body of Yondu Udonta and receives orders from Nova Prime to investigate. She learns that Yondu located the codes to open the planetary shield and enlists Kree soldier Yon-Rogg to infiltrate the Nova Corps mainframe to destroy them.  Yon-Rogg betrays her, revealing that he and Nova Prime plan to give up Xandar to Ronan. Nebula survives an execution attempt by Nova Prime's men, subsequently enlisting casino owner Howard the Duck and his subordinates Groot and Korg to stop Nova Prime.  During their fight, Nebula reveals she realized Nova Prime's defection when she assigned the mission to her and altered the code so that the shield would close again as the Dark Aster enters Xandar, destroying the ship and killing Ronan.  Nova Prime tries to escape but ultimately falls to her death. The shield reopens as Nebula prepares to continue defending Xandar.
