The Marvels: Exploring the Rich History of the Quantum Bands
A Blast from the Past
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has always had a thing for glowing space jewelry. And now, in The Marvels, we're taken back to that familiar territory with the hunt for a pair of fabulous accessories. Let's dive into the rich Marvel Comics history of the Quantum Bands and uncover their significance in the film.
What are the Quantum Bands?
In The Marvels, we learn that the Quantum Bands are ancient artifacts of immense power and an old Kree legend. These bands were used to create a network of Jump Points, allowing Kree ships to travel through space with ease. One band is worn by Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, while the other is sought after by the ubervillain Dar-Benn.
Comic Book Origins
In the comics, the Quantum Bands have a different backstory. Created by Eon, son of Eternity, these bands were bestowed upon the Protectors of the Universe, a line of chosen champions. Notable wearers of the bands include Marvel Boy, Quasar, and Phyla-Vell. Think of them as Marvel's version of DC's Green Lantern Power Rings.
Potential Future Storylines
While the film may not delve into the full history of the Quantum Bands, there's potential for them to fuel future storylines. They could even play a role in an Eternals sequel, revealing the origins of Thanos and his brother, played by Harry Styles. These bands have a fascinating connection to the Eternals and their powers.
The Quantum Realm Connection
If you're wondering about the name, the Quantum Bands draw their power from the Quantum Zone, also known as the Quantum Realm in the MCU. Although not explicitly mentioned in The Marvels, we can assume this connection based on what we've seen in Ant-Man and the Wasp. The Quantum Bands and the Quantum Realm may have more to offer in the future.
The Cosmic Family Drama
In the comics, the Quantum Bands were transformed into wedding rings and given to the Eternal Kronos' son, A'Lars, and his bride, Sui-San. The bands allowed the couple, who had artificial biology, to conceive children in the traditional manner. This led to the birth of two sons, Thanos and Eros, who took very different paths in life. Talk about sibling rivalry!
The Quantum Bands' Possible Future
As The Marvels continues to explore the vast MCU, we may see the Quantum Bands play a crucial role in upcoming adventures. They could prove instrumental in defeating Kang in Avengers: Secret Wars, just as the Quantum Realm was vital in stopping Thanos in Avengers: Endgame. Keep an eye out for these powerful accessories!
