Author Post: Why Leadership Presence Matters More Than Volume
Presence is about being grounded enough that others settle around you. getty

The cast of Avengers: Doomsday has always been a bit confusing. It has a sprawling lineup, sure, but it is also lacking some of the most significant, still-active members of the MCU, including ones that seem like logical fits for this storyline. Well, about that.
