Marvel's What If? Episode 2 Synopsis

Executive Produced by: Bryan Andrews, A.C. Bradley, Brad Winderbaum with Kevin Feige

Head Writer: A.C. Bradley

Episode Written by: Matthew Chauncey

Episode Directed By: Bryan Andrews

A small choice can change the universe! It’s 1988, and in Wakanda the young and curious Prince T’Challa chooses to leave the nation's protective shield. Unfortunately an alien team of Space Pirates known as Ravagers have chosen to land at the same coordinates. Mistaking the young prince for the human son of a being known as Ego, they abduct the boy and take him into the galaxy.

Now an adult T’Challa Starlord is notorious throughout the galaxy for his adventures, stealing from the rich to give to the poor alongside his adoptive father Yondu and his crew of Ravagers. He’s been told Wakanda was destroyed and his family killed back on earth.

Following a successful job on Morag, Starlord returns not only with an infinity stone but with a new crew member, Korath “the Pursuer”. As they celebrate their success back at the Iron Lotus bar on Contraxia, with Thanos the sometimes Mad Titan, Kraglin and Taserface, Nebula comes to T’Challa with a proposition for a heist on the planet Knowhere - to steal the Embers of Genesis from the fearsome galactic crime boss the Collector.

Slipping past the Black Order and infiltrating the Collectors collection, while searching for the Embers, T’Challa comes across a Wakandan ship and discovers that Yondu has lied to him about his family’s death. At the same time Nebula seemingly betrays T’Challa and the Ravagers to pay off an old debt she has to the Collector.

Locked up on Knowhere, things are awkward between T’Challa and Yondu, but T’Challa is taken away to be prepared for collection by the Collector just as Nebula’s double, double cross plays out.

As the Ravagers escape, Yondu and T’Challa fight the Collector employing the “sticky fingers” tactic to defeat him and face justice from his assistant Carina and all of his other collected pieces from across the galaxy.

After escaping, Yondu and Starlord sort out their differences and T’Challa takes his adopted space family to meet his family in Wakanda.

Elsewhere, in a Dairy Queen in Missouri a young employee is mopping the floor, as the door opens a man shaped living planet called Ego comes for his son Peter Quill.
