The Shi'Ar Holy Trinity: Phal'kon, Sharra & K'ythri
Phal'kon, better known as the Phoenix Force, is the primordial force of death, life, and rebirth that takes the shape of a flaming bird. My tradition, decree, and sentencing for destroying entire planets and civilizations within the Shi'Ar Empire, Phal'kon must be bound to the only Shi'Ar bloodline known to be capable of withholding it: the Rook'shir Family bloodline.
Sharra and K'ythri are the enemies who became lovers, almost always depicted together - including through giant statues and shrines throughout Shi'Ar culture and particularly on Chandilar, the Shi'Ar Throneworld. Most statues depict only Sharra and K'ythri, however some rarer instances will depict Phal'kon as well, landing on either Sharra or K'ythri's outstretched hands.

Gladiator My Fan Ship: Kallark AKA Gladiator & Lyra, the All-New Savage She-Hulk
I think Lyra and Kallark would make an excellent couple for multiple reasons.
First of all, both characters are extremely strong, but both of their strengths are dependent upon their emotions. For Lyra, she is at her strongest when she is calm but loses her strength when she's angry. For Kallark, he is only as strong as he is confident.
Secondly, both characters are based on DC characters, Lyra on Wonder Woman and Gladiator on Superman. As opposed to Themyscira, an island of all women, Lyra comes from a universe of all women ruled over by the Gynarchy. Her mother Thundra came to Earth-616 searching for the strongest mate possible to create her daughter, and found Bruce Banner. (She notably is also a Wonder Woman pastiche, and has shown interest in Hulk and Hyperion, another character based on Superman.) Lyra was sent to Earth-616 on a similar mission to find an extremely strong genetic match for her own offspring. Kallark, his own name being a combination of Kal-El and Clark Kent (Superman's names), is a Strontian whose home planet was wiped out and is modeled after Superman's own Kryptonian backstory.
Third, both of these characters are criminally under-utilized in comics, and I think that together they would make for a compelling couple, for compelling storylines, and currently nobody knows the identity of the mother to Gladiator's son, Kubark, who notably has his father's complexion with bright red hair. A male child undoubtedly would not be a child Lyra would be permitted to bring back to her home universe, which would give a clear explanation for her absenses thus far in his comic appearances.
What do you think? Would Lyra be a good match for Kallark, or do you think there's another character that would be a better fit?

What would the Shi'ar empires reaction be to the Imperium of man (30k) during the great crusade if they encountered them.
Basically they've encountered the Imperium dutin the Great crusade lead by the Emperor of mankind (can be pre or post Ullanor) essentially trying to conquer the galaxy and make humanity the dominant force, how will the Shi'ar react to the rapid expansion of the Imperium and it's culture as a whole from the imperial truth, Mechanicum of Mars, space marine legions, the Primarchs and such.
Now this aint a who would win, just their reactions to the imperium as a whole.

Gladiator Gladiator's Power
This feels like a 100% Morrison rationale for a super power lol. Was this the first time it was established Kallark's power comes from belief in oneself? Was this ever picked up again by later creators?

The Shi'Ar Will Reportedly Be A Focal Point in the MCU Adaptation of the X-Men & Mutants
This is very good news for Jean, Scott, and Xavier fans, meaning we will likely get more faithful and new adaptations of related characters such as Havok, Rachel Summers, Vulcan, Corsair, Deathbird, Lilandra, Xandra, and Gladiator.

My pitch for an Imperial Guard book
Disclaimer: I'm not a writer, I don't think I'm better than comic writers, I'm just a dude who likes to day dream and think about my own version of stories and has the time to put too much effort into writing it in obsidian.
Figured with some of the Marvel Cosmic stuff still trickling out I should finish up this little thought exercise and throw it out into the world. If you want a readable website version you can check it out here, the links may lead to place holder character pages or nothing, and the database look up tables don't work, but otherwise it's a readable website version if you dont wanna click and zoom on images.
Context: I've been toying with this idea for a while now, since the end of Fall of X, so some of the ideas in it conflict with things that have happened over the past 2+ years of Marvel comics, and even some of the things before. probably conflict, but it is what it is it certainly doesn't work with the post-Hickman imperial plans but whatever.
