Kennedy was to be one of the first to be replaced, but the All-Winners Squad, formerly known as the Invaders , stopped him, destroying Adam II in the process. What If 14 had a dramatic departure from the Marvel timeline. Among the stranger elements is Nick Fury smoking a cigar in his space helmet. He also bristles with a commanding officer that's a super-computer.
Least surprising of all, Baron Strucker is a traitorous Admiral commanding German troops against the Commandos. What If 35 had three stories, but the oddest one was a story not set in an alternate reality. This story featured the origin of the cat-people that gave Tigra her cat-like form and abilities.
