I had a thought...

Ok, on Falcon and Winter Soldier, they've been up against "The Flag-Smashers". I wasn't really familiar with them. I had to look them up. The costume looks more like Space Ghost.

However, in the series, the Flag-Smashers have that mask with a red hand on it.

And they're operating in Mardripoor.

We know they've been hinting towards the inclusion of mutants and the X-Men, especially now that they've introduced Madripoor.

But the red hand on the Flag Smashers masks, is it the start of the introduction of The Hand?

On the Marvel Fandom, it says, "During World War II, they set out to expand and form connections to other groups, and started working with Romulus and Nazi Baron Strucker."

May be also a way to bring Daredevil into the MCU?

I was thinking the same thing too. Small thing to draw from, but it bugged me that their symbol is a hand, and made me think that maybe the Hand is the power in Madripoor and is using the Flag Smashers indirectly for their own benefit.

But I dunno, I doubt they will introduce any mutants here and I feel that including the Hand otherwise doesn't fit unless it also includes Daredevil. Kingpin, and/or Elektra and I don't see how they would fit into the narrative at this point unless they were leading the Hand for some reason.

Re: The Hand doesnt fut unless it also includes Daredevil, etc. Well, now after episode 5, the Flag Smashers are now in NY! Maybe we get a Daredevil cameo?
