The rumors and supposed leaks surrounding Marvel’s wish to bring the Squadron Supreme to bare have been well documented. Den of Geek speculates that Marvel wishes to adapt the DC knock-off in the same light as Amazon’s raunchy television series “The Boys,” but this may be a hard sell for its family-orientated parent company, Disney. However, if Marvel decides to unleash the Squadron Supreme on the MCU, DC and James Gunn can answer in kind.
As mentioned earlier, DC has its own version of the Avengers. The Retaliators made their first comic appearance in 2014 and clearly drew inspiration from the Avengers. The Retaliators are just as on the nose as the Squadron Supreme and even go so far as to have rallying cries that overtly mimic those of the Avengers.
In other words, if Marvel wants to poke fun, DC is more than capable of responding. However, Gunn is probably much more unfettered in his creative vision, since DC has no qualms about releasing R-rated materials. Though there hasn’t been any real confirmation of any of the rumors mentioned above, the groundwork is certainly there for either company, should they choose to go down the road of poking fun at their business rivals.
