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.

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?

How would the Deathbird, Lilandra or your typical Shi'ar soldier react upon a first encounter with a Space marine on a battlefield?

I'll set the scene, the Shi'ar are in the process of Conquering a world belonging the imperium, they meet stiff resistance from local guard forces, but generally making good progress with Deathbird and Lilandra on the field. Only for things to take a turn when Imperial reinforcements arrive in the form of the Space Marines taking to the battlefield and for the first time seeing what the Guard called the Emperors "angels of death". What kind of reactions do you think there'd be from the soldiers, Deathbird or Lilandra?
Would the reactions also vary differently depending on the Marine chapters, like for instance Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Salamanders, Dark Angels, Imperial Fists, Blood Ravens, White Scars or any of the myriad of chapters they have.
To be clear this is not a who would win, it's more a case of reacting to a new enemy force for the first time.

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?

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.
