Despite what Captain America: Brave New World implies, Samuel Sterns, played by Tim Blake Nelson, could be a more evil Marvel villain rather than the Leader. Promotional materials for Captain America: Brave New World allude to Samuel Sterns’ involvement in President Ross’ transformation into the Red Hulk and a global political upheaval. In the trailers for Captain America: Brave New World, Sterns lurks in the background, giving Captain America hints about his evil scheme. At some point in the film, Sam Wilson will confront Samuel Sterns and learn what he has been up to since The Incredible Hulk. In the third act of The Incredible Hulk, shortly after the Abomination knocked Samuel Sterns into vials of the Hulk’s blood, Sterns began to change into a Gamma Mutant. One of the Hulk’s greatest enemies, Samuel Sterns, is portrayed in the comics as the Leader. His Gamma abilities are focused on his increased intelligence rather than his physical prowess. Although Sterns hasn’t been in the MCU since The Incredible Hulk, it’s reasonable to presume that he has been plotting as the Leader while the Hulk and the other Avengers were occupied with thwarting other dangers.
Before being killed by the Punisher, Samuel Sterns, the Leader in Marvel Comics’ Earth-616 reality, engages in several battles with the Hulk and other heroes. Sterns is revived shortly after Thaddeus Ross injects him with red gamma radiation, this time with red gamma energy coursing through his body. Then, along with other anti-heroes with a red motif, the Red Leader joins Red Hulk’s Thunderbolts squad. Although he quickly lost this shape and returned to his regular green look, Samuel Sterns appears to be even more crafty and devious than the Red Leader. Samuel Sterns of Marvel Comics claims that red gamma radiation is the typical form of cosmic radiation mixed with gamma energy. The Red Hulk’s abilities are different from the Hulk’s because of this lethal combination. Bruce Banner’s Hulk alter ego gets stronger the more angry he gets, while Thaddeus Ross, as the Red Hulk, can absorb energy and turn it into heat. The rarity of red Gamma mutates in the Marvel multiverse can also be explained by the manufactured nature of red Gamma radiation.
In Captain America: Brave New World, Thaddeus Ross transforms into the Red Hulk, seventeen years and three film appearances after his MCU debut in The Incredible Hulk. Samuel Sterns is the one who grants Ross this power in order to topple the US government and start international political strife, according to the trailers for Captain America: Brave New World. However, Captain America: Brave New World may give an unexpected twist and show that Samuel Sterns has changed into the Red Leader, even if it would look like Sterns will expose himself as the Leader.
As the Red Leader, Samuel Sterns could have similar energy-absorption powers to Red Hulk
President Ross very certainly conducted the same experiment on himself since Samuel Sterns managed to grant him the capacity to change into the Red Hulk. Sterns, Ross, and Emil Blonsky were all fixated by Bruce Banner’s classic Hulk transformation in The Incredible Hulk, and they would have just attempted to replicate it. Samuel Sterns, the Red Leader, could be able to absorb energy similarly to the Red Hulk, but he might also have vulnerabilities that Captain America might use to fight the two red Gamma mutates in Captain America: Brave New World.
Samuel Stern, played by Tim Blake Nelson, has sufficient control over red Gamma radiation to produce additional red Gamma mutates if he discloses his Red Leader mutation in Captain America: Brave New World. The comics’ “the Intelligencia” evil gang, led by Samuel Sterns, turns a number of Hulk’s friends into Gamma mutates, including Betty Ross, who turns into Red She-Hulk. It’s likely that Samuel Sterns will change Betty Ross into the Red She-Hulk in the MCU as well, as Liv Tyler’s character will make a comeback in Captain America: Brave New World. The introduction of the Thunderbolts to the MCU would also be a wonderful fit for Samuel Sterns’ transition as the Red Leader. A new version of the Thunderbolts later emerged from Red Hulk’s evil squad “Code Red” in the comics, which was where Red She-Hulk made his debut. Red Hulk, Red Leader, the Punisher, Elektra, Deadpool, Ghost Rider, and Agent Venom are all members of Thaddeus Ross’ “Red Thunderbolts” squad. Red Hulk’s “Red Thunderbolts” squad might take the role of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine’s Thunderbolts squad in the MCU, while Red She-Hulk could take the position of Agent Venom following the events of Captain America: Brave New World.
