We're back with the second episode of Season 2 What If Peter Quill Attacked Earth's Mightiest Heroes? As a brand new team is formed in 1988 to defend Earth from a highly powered Peter Quill. Marvel's What If? 202 What if Peter Quill Attacked Earth's Mightiest Heroes? 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: Bryan Andrews One small change can affect the every realm! In 1988, Yondu takes Peter Quill to Ego, who urges him to help his expansion across the universe.  Six months later, after ravaging several worlds, Quill returns to Earth. In response, Peggy Carter and Howard Stark assemble a team composed of Bill Foster, King T'Chaka of Wakanda, Bucky Barnes, Dr. Wendy Lawson, and a reluctant Hank Pym, who brings his daughter Hope van Dyne along.  After a scuffle on Coney Island, the team detains Quill with help from Thor. As the team discusses their next move, Van Dyne connects with Quill over music and realises that he returned to earth to come home. Hope frees Quill, who travels to Missouri. Meanwhile T'Chaka, Foster and Thor aid Carter's forces holding back Ego, who has travelled to earth to continue his Expansion. Meanwhile, Pym and Lawson encounter Quill visiting his mother's grave, and a sympathetic Pym convinces him to stand against his father.  The Winter Soldier —under the influence of his Russian handler —prepares to assassinate Quill until Stark reminds him of his best friend, Steve Rogers. Just as Ego overwhelms the heroes and attempts to obtain his seed, Pym and Quill arrive in time to stop him, with Quill using the cosmic energy of the Celestial seedling to destroy Ego's avatar form.  The team, minus Bucky Barnes, celebrates their victory before setting out to confront Ego's planetary form.
