Agreed. It just felt weird to be specific, about why it’s just the future. We could have it for alternate realities, including different points in time, like past, present or future
 
Yeah, it makes more sense. Though I often need to clarify what "Alternate Reality display" is. I know off topic, but it's not quite the same as precognition. It's just the ability to see images from alternate realities whether or not they're actual futures that are going to happen. And otherwise it's basically non combat applicable awareness to other timelines

But basically the name change is fine.
 
Some combat applicable variants are listed on Ant-Man (Scott Lang) and Nebula's page :v

It's essentially running a simulation for the best scenario possible, by checking ALL scenarios
 
@The_Impress I mean, there are ways to make it combat applicable; especially in prep time based vs matches. But one of the main examples I think of is what Forerunners have. The "See all possible futures" isn't quite combat applicable outside of prep time as it's just them having an infinite number of data files with each one showing images from alternate realities to show on their computer screens. I agree Ant-Man and Nebula's examples are combat applicable.

Though, I do still agree alternate reality display is a more appropriate name given it could refer to seeing alternate presents or alternate pasts, not just futures.
