** It also continues the more general 'coming of age' theme of the title by having Kamala discover that her role-model has feet of clay.

** Tony's stance in the comic might also be influenced by what happened in ComicBook/ForceWorks. Basically, Iron Man (under Immortus' influence) started a team that would use predictions of the future made by Scarlet Witch and stop problems before they happened. Tony might have been trying to avoid what he did in the past when he was controlled by Immortus.

* How was Ulysses' vision about that woman being Hydra and bombing the place completely wrong? Was it another Stevil plant? His power is supposed to be diagnostic, meaning there has to be some grain of data that leads to the conclusion "a Hydra agent is transporting a bomb into a vital area with a briefcase" yet there's no connection whatsoever. Where did that come from? Why was this the only vision that's wholly wrong? Why isn't this used as an example of their reliability?

Added DiffLines:

** Also part of his problem was that he didn't trust the validity of the predictions. This becomes particularly valid in the Captain America issue that reveals that one of them was wrong. Not averted, not misread, just plain '''wrong'''. The woman arrested as a future participant in a HYDRA attack on the economy was not a HYDRA agent and no such plan existed.


Added DiffLines:

** It's only just occurred to me that Ulyssus is the living embodiment of NeverTrustATrailer. The problem with his powers is that they show him a glimpse of the future, with no context or how he got there, just that one scene. How many times have we incorrectly guessed at how a movie will go from a scene in a trailer, how many different theories have we made from these tiny glimpses, that the trailer do fit, even though the film is something else entirely? Not only do we have the self fulfilling prophecy issue, but it has that level of inaccuracy as it's origin.

** However, after Stark Disassembled litteraly rebooted the character to a pre-Civil War state, Tony confirmed at the beginning of The Heroic Age that he stood by his actions (which were based on inaccurate math-based predictions) and would do it again.

** Captain America: Steve Rogers #5 reveals something even worse: [[spoiler:the entire incident, including the vision, was a FalseFlagOperation staged by the HYDRA Captain America to hide the fact he is HYDRA from being exposed by Ulysses, when they sent Bruce the data on Gamma radiation he was using.]] In other words, [[spoiler:HYDRA exploited the nature of Ulysses' visions to get the heroes to kill the Hulk for them, all the while protecting HYDRA Cap's true nature.]]

* AscendedFridgeHorror: The epilogue to the story has [[spoiler: Steve Rogers talking to Tony's comatose body about all of the things that he planned for the world and taunts him by saying that he wishes he could wake up to stop him from putting mutants and Inhumans into internment camps, destroying the superheroes and taking over the White House with help from the Chitauri army. Basically, Tony and Carol's war was the best thing to happen to Steve!]]

* The blast that Vision shot at Kitty Pryde during the battle in Issue #5 was strong enough to blow up the Guardian's ship. So, what would have happened if she hadn't phased through it?

** As it turns out, nearly all of them except Star-Lord and MAYBE Kitty (she's shown looking doubtful) turn on Carol the moment they found out Thanos is on Earth and she didn't mention it to them. (Gamora openly attacks Carol.)

* Every other team splits down the middle, but the Guardians are all solidly Team Carol, to such an extent that they don't even wait to hear the other side? I could maybe buy that for the rest of the team, but it's seriously out of character for Kitty Pryde and Ben Grimm. Moreover, the reason they all side with Carol is that they all know her because she spent some time working with them not so long ago, which is absolutely true. It's just that when she was Tony's replacement on the team, so it's not like they don't know him either.
