What I would love for America's character is that she doesn't get that much of a backstory in MoM, instead we just see her like, teleport into reality, she says some cryptic stuff about how she doesn't remember much, and then we see her full past portrayed through a tv show or something.

I prefer the unretconned version of her origin where she is a space princess from the utopian parallel. It makes her way more badass and she idolized Billy (Wiccan who later becomes the demiurge) and was so cute. Plus it makes her powers make more sense if she's just an alien from another universe. That way you don't need to explain much you can just say she was born with them. I hope they do that origin in the MCU and I can't wait for her in MoM. I just hope they do her character right and praying that the Young Avengers movies are fantastic. Also when are we getting a Young Avengers vol. 3??? It's been like 9 years. C'mon Marvel, give us what we want.

[@ghosty097]

when was the comic made where america sanchez learns the "truth" ? because if it was made only a few years ago, that might mean she actually may have been from the utopian parallel and they just thought to change her origins and say she is a lab experiment recently, with the original creators not aware they changed her past

America would only knew about billy if she were in the utopian parallel and knew about the creation of it and it’s god the demiurge. And second if we’re factoring the young avengers 2013 run billy created the utopian parallel as a seal to the dark place. So factoring that in the utopian parallel does exist due to billy creating it as a seal for the dark place. And people who are there knows about billy including America Chavez.
