So MC's future in HERO?
Leaving the "new system" aside from now, which may or may not completely change how things are done, currently HERO is the 5 teams and a bunch of independent agents that go out in missions and/or work shifts manning various posts relative to research, beaurocracy, guard duties or special roles according to their abilities.
Some things to consider:
On HERO structure:
1) Hero has 5 ranks, Agent 3, 2, 1 class, Lieutenant and Captain.
2) Hero has 5 teams and the rest of the recruits work independently. This may change in the future.
3) The 5 teams members hold either the captain or lieutenant rank.
4) It's not confirmed that all Lieutenants have to be part of a team afaik.
5) Captain isn't necessarily a rank or indicative of a HERO agent's power level, but a designation. This observation is derived from Henri's predicament.
On HERO Teams:
1) HERO teams are designed around 5 members.
2) The majority of Team members are either level 4 or 5, but there exist extraordinary level 3s (a possible loophole for MC?)
3) It's possible that some teams lack a full 5 member roster. MC will probably have to join a team that isn't complete so Lucifer and Cthulu are probably out.
4) To further reinforce the previous point, Deus was the "new guy" and he joined Lucifer. I think it's more likely that Lucifer wasn't a complete team than Malik replacing a member with Deus
5) Rating the "closeness" that MC has with the various captains, it would look something like this: Nyx > Malik > Bernhardt > Lucius = Zack, MC has worked with Nyx and is about to also work with Zack, but the latter is too hands off and doesn't seem interested in MC at all, unlike Nyx.
6) The roster of known team members:
Team Lucifer / 5 known: Malik (Cpt, level 5) | Nico (level 5) | Alexis (level 5) | Clark (level 5) | Deus (level 4?)
Team Cthulu / 5 known: Bernhardt (Cpt, level 5) | Henri (level 5) | Lisa (level 5) | Elijah (level 5) | Kira (level 5)
Team Oberon / 2 known / 3+ confirmed : Lucius (Cpt, level 5) | Melody (level 4?) | Nyx uses the phrase "one of your lieutenants"
Team Kronos / 1 known / 2?+ confirmed: Zack (Cpt, level 5) | Del claims that "a member of Team Kronos caught the power suppression monster"
Team Reaper / 3 known: Nyx (Cpt, level 5) | Jill (level 4) | Duncan (level 3)
Misc info:
1) MC's power is mostly defensive, which peaks Nyx's interest.
2) MC in HERO's eyes should be considered extraordinary. He has a lot of special roles, he has at least 2 logged victories against monsters significantly more powerful than him. He is also the spawn of the "uncategorized ones" although I doubt that HERO know about it currently.
3) MC is an Class 2 Agent and there is at least 1 more rank between that and Lt.
4) MC has a destiny that will probably take him away from HERO, at least for a time.
According to these, I think the more likely scenarios (before possible ending choices) are as follows:
1) MC will leave HERO before making it into one of the teams.
2) MC will continue working under Nyx and eventually join her team.
3) The HERO structure will change so drastically that all talk about teams in their current form won't have any point. Nyx is probably the most likely candidate to take MC under her because she has voiced the desire, but also Malik and Bernhardt depending on MC's fame/infamy.
Possible but unlikely scenarios in no particular order:
1) MC and Ella will both work for HERO under Nyx | According to my theory, Nyx has marked Ella before killing her, and she will be the one to bring her back. It's possible that HERO will try to tempt/force Ella to work with them, and she will find some reason to do that, at least for a time, while letting her kids and Charlie take charge on the rest of her endeavors while keeping HERO mostly in the dark.
2) MC will join either Lucifer or Cthulu | This is unlikely because these 2 teams are both full and are supposed to be the strongest so it's less likely they will lose anyone for MC to take their place.
3) MC will join either Oberon or Kronos | While I don't find it unlikely for MC to get friendlier with them, especially Lucius if MC gets an updated look after his 4th, I don't think that Lucius or Zack are particularly interested in him. However there exists some slim possibility for that to happen because both teams aren't confirmed to have 5 members.
4) MC will create his own HERO team. | This may be an ending choice but I don't see it happening earlier than that.
What about SIN?:
I find it highly unlikely that MC will join SIN in any shape or form. The closest thing that could happen would be for MC and Ella/Ella's faction to work towards a common goal that may be beneficial to Langdon but ultimately I think that MC and SIN will always be enemies.
