Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

Oh, that construction crew sounds interesting, can you tell me the name?
I'm guessing "Damage Control", at least for Marvel.
They actually are in the MCU but seem to be taking on a different role.
We see them briefly in Spider-Man Homecoming, as them taking over the cleanup of New York being the basis for the Vulture.
We've also seen them in other MCU film/TV, but they're more antagonistic.
There were rumors of a more cleanup focused show, hopefully we get one post Secret Wars.
Yeah Damage Control started as clean up crew after Avengers 1, but that never took off, the show was abandoned, and the idea was recycled for Spider-Man, I think they show up in Ms. Marvel, but they quickly turned into some sort of ICE/FBI (that comparison came up when ICE was just starting to be a bigger problem under Trump 1). They clearly didn't know what to do with it and turned it into random government agency that they couldn't decide if it was Nazi corrupt or just "hero bad" kind of JJ Jameson dumb, forgetting the entire "Stark is funding a clean up crew from the destruction caused by alien invasions" premise that disappeared entirely.
They're still in the next Spider-Man, but they'll probably never be anything more than "SHIELD light" generic government agency that's there to be a pain in Spidey's ass (like full private military but not worldwide air carrier and interstellar force).
Powerless actually did that really well as legally not MCU with a great cast, but that was canceled.
