This actually does happen in one of the latter books of the series. I read the wiki. Things get pretty wild.

Too soon.

Because it’s an iteration of a character that a lot of people enjoyed over the 15 or so issues of the original series and Marvel presumes people would enjoy more of the same (which seems to be true)?

Unfortunately, Sam Nova has already “happened”. He’s appeared in the “Ultimate Spider-Man” cartoon and is a current Avenger, 3 years after his inception. At least for now, he’s here to stay.
