Me when Parker has weird growing dark marks on him, has the heat on during a hot day, is able to turn invisible, acts erratically, and his eyes go black:
Okay, so i think i need to bring talk about some of these forces in marvel. Especially after all my talked with @brightlotusmoon about the phoenix force. Today it's gonna be 4 forces. Maybe it'll make people want to write about them.
Let's start with the most well known if you follow around certain circles(or i guess it's just one of the more well known)
The phoenix force
The Phoenix Force is one of the oldest known cosmic entities, said to predate darkness and the universe.[4] The Phoenix Force is an immortal
If you know most content from the x men the. chances are you'll know what the Phoenix force is. It's the nexus of all psionics and often likes to inhabit the already extremely powerful jean grey and make her the even more powerful phoenix.
Now the phoenix force is a cosmic entity that is often considered 'the spark that ignites life and the flame that consumes it'. it perpetuates the cycle of life and death, destruction and rebirth. You know like a phoenix. It also exists in every universe that it can exist in. If there's life then a version(or i guess a shard) of this force also exists with it.
A guardian of creation that actually has it's own opposite, a herald of endless destruction and hunger. Something that could quite literally eat the Phoenix force... Im talking about the goblin force.

That's right. This cosmic entity(as well as another psychic nexus being like its fiery counterpart) ate the phoenix force in its debut comic. It also killed galactus after it did so. This force is essentially composed of all the evil in the universe. It holds limitless power like the phoenix but unlike them it has an insatiable hunger and is a force of constant destruction. But it does follow one neat detail the phoenix force does, And that's bonding to a red haired psychic mutant. In this case goblin force copied the phoenix forces homework by making madeline pryor there avatar, making the power psychic sorcerer called the goblin queen. And judging by what little i see it's usually by force.
From one duo to another we talk about the forces that lead to my favorite marvel duo... The darkforce and the light force
38 appearance(s) of Lightforce 1 minor appearance(s) of Lightforce 2 mention(s) of Lightforce 1 image(s) of Lightforce
82 appearance(s) of Darkforce 1 appearance(s) in handbook(s) of Darkforce 1 minor appearance(s) of Darkforce 12 mention(s) of Darkforce 2 me
These 2 forces are counterparts much like the phoenix and goblin technically are. However unlike the 2 cosmic forces these 2 don't seem to be extremely sentient entities but rather energies that come from there respective dimensionsYou'll often find more people with dark force based powers then lightforce ones.
The most iconic use of the forces would be the extremely iconic duo of cloak and dagger(one of my faborites. Mr negative is a user of both forces.
The darkforce itself is a very addictive and powerful force. It's very easy to tap into but very hard to control. But you can use it for good. But as we hear about from cloak himself. The darkforce dimension connection itself can and does try to corrupt him. So the darkforce itself may very well try to corrupt you.
The lightforce itself isn't without flaws either. The force on its own seems quite alright. A very purifying and powerful force. A healing light and purifying power. But use of the healing power often leads to you becoming weaker and thus susceptible to dangers. And as seen with dagger she can have problems with having too much energy.
These 2 forces actually actively are problems and solutions to each other. The darkforce corrupts,the lightforce purges the corruption, the light force is disabled by the darkforce,so is the darkforce by the lightforce if struck first. Lightforce produces a lot of energy that's detrimental(in daggers case) it goes to the darkforce who absorb energy.
I'm very very biased on these 2 forces.
Probably fumbled these last 2 though. But enough to get some talking about these weird vut interesting forces. 2 very sentient ones and 2 that aren't unless i didn't research right. Which is possible.

I have continually edited the America Chavez reaction I wrote as I thought of more future champs implications hinted by her kit and realizing it calls for a lot of tweets about random marvel characters who connect to the Dark Dimension, Negative Zone, or whatever the “Big Bang Dimension” is.
For one thing, I can't find official Marvel disambiguation between Darkforce Dimension and Dark Dimension. It's hard to establish that the one isn't just a subspace within the other. I think it's best not to conflate them. Maybe that's why America Chavez doesn't have a synergy with Mister Negative.
You can follow my unfolding theories on the MCOC story and future-champs implications of her kit here.
