Much like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Real Housewives television universe has had some growing pains as of late: Cast shakeups, cliché-ridden storylines, and general fatigue with its tried-and-true formulas. That diagnosis can apply to both franchises.

But unlike Marvel, Bravo has seemed to find its way back to center, at least if the new season of Salt Lake is any indication. Of course, the MCU had to trot out endless cameos from the past 20 years to make itself relevant again with Deadpool & Wolverine and all Bravo had to do was let Mary Cosby out of her giant walk-in closet.

Borrowing a bit of that reality shine, Marvel shared their own take on the Housewives, featuring some of its most popular leading ladies — and Pepper Potts — all as action figures brought to life via stop-motion animation, as the gays have been doing for ages.

Seriously, though, the entire Marvel comic canon at play and we’re hanging with Pepper Potts?

The Real Heroes of Westchester County, set at Professor Charles Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, gives us only two mutants, but at least they’re the most mother of mutants: Emma Frost, a reality show villain-in-waiting, and the goddess of the elements and dramatic pronouncements, Ororo "Storm" Munroe.

Then we get a bunch of boring humans — Pepper, Mary Jane Watson, and Gwen Stacy (snooze) — along with Death, who’s serving main-character energy, as anyone with Thanos’ gauntlet would and should.

Fans of Housewives will immediately recognize the references to the myriad franchises: Mary Jane channeling Salt Lake’s Heather Gay and her immediately iconic “Receipts. Proof. Timeline.” salvo from last season, replacing the ultimate “Screenshots” with “Pictures of Spider-Man,” naturally; omega-level telepath — and bitch — Emma Frost pulling off her best Allison DuBois impression, sans vape, from Beverly Hills' infamous season 1 dinner party; Death flipping a table à la Teresa Giudice from New Jersey’s season 1 finale.

And while Teresa is certainly a force to be reckoned with, she, thankfully, never had the Infinity Stones. The last thing the world needs is for her yelling, "Is snap better?!" before sending Melissa Gorga and half the population into oblivion.

Let’s just hope this is just the beginning of The Real Marvel Housewives so we can at least have Madelyne Pryor and Jean Grey reenacting this gem:

And Rogue yelling “C’mon, wig!” to Prof. X in a lacefront. If that’s not what the Internet was made for, then what are we doing, humanity?
