Major Fantastic Four Variant Revealed by Marvel (And They Connect to the X-Men)

The last season of “What If…?” has wrapped up, leaving us with a tantalizing sneak peek at an intriguing new character, Silver Surfer Jubilee. This figure joined a host of other unique variants such as Spider-Man with six arms, Samurai Ghost Rider, Iron Heart Punisher, Wolverine Thanos, and others. Whether this specific version or the assortment of multiverse characters will reappear in future series or films remains to be seen.
