Marvel's VisionQuest Has A Connection To The First Captain America Movie
VisionQuest mostly picks up the threads left by WandaVision and Agatha All Along, but it also features a curious callback to Captain America: The First Avenger.
Marvel's VisionQuest appears to have a connection to the first Captain America movie, Captain America: The First Avenger. The series follows Vision as he tries to reunite with his son and come to terms with his identity after his death in Avengers: Infinity War. The show's second episode takes place inside Vision's mindspace, where he consults AI programs created by Tony Stark.
In one scene, J.A.R.V.I.S. points Vision towards a painting depicting the first of their kind, which is revealed to be the original Human Torch. This character, Jim Hammond, first appeared in Captain America: The First Avenger under a different name. Although the movie didn't feature the Invaders team, it did include an android at Howard Stark's Stark Expo that resembles Jim Hammond.
The original Human Torch was an android created by Dr. Phineas Horton in 1939 and fought alongside Captain America during WWII. With Vision's quest to discover his identity, it is likely that the Human Torch's full backstory will be revealed in the series, potentially tying in with Captain America and the rest of the Avengers.
