It's Spider-Man from the alternate reality of if he had never given up show business.

It's too washed out looking. None of the characters really pop.

People are worried about Spider Man's cape and I'm sitting here wondering why Captain America is a cat.
I know right, what next Manga Reed?

I agree, some of the characters bleed into one another or the background. Also kinda hard to get hyped for a cover where I don't know any of the characters.

The Brute was in my earliest comic
Also, storytime Nightcrawler is a hell of a callback. I demand the Pirate X-men

And then they kiss
Vangaard(Cosmic Powered Hockey Loving Johnny Storm)
Wild Thing( Daughter of Wolverine and Elektra)
Bamf( Nightcrawler's storytime version)
Nighthawk( Squadron Supreme, the cool one
Brute (A Savage Reed Richards)
X-51 (Machine Man)
Goddamn
Am I blind? I see neither spider cape nor captain americat.
Edit: That was strange. I swear the first cover wasn't there until I quoted it lol.

That brown Hawkeye is actually Wolverine.
Captain Americat!
That's an amazing cover. Can't wait for Secret Wars. Remember back when they announced this? They were hyping it up as the biggest Marvel thing ever and we were all skeptical. Now look at this.

I don't get whats going on on the cover in the OP. I don't follow comics so bare with me.
Why does Spidey have a cape?
Who is the female Wolvie, and why does she Lazer SNIKTs?
Why is Nightcrawler a Disney character?
Why is Captain America a cat?
Who is the creepy dude with the yellow eyes dead center?
Is that Storm with Professor K from JSR's haircut?
Who is the little tiny dude chillan on Colossus' (?) cape?
Actually...Just tell me who all these people are.

Or why Nightcrawler ( i assume that is him ) looks like a 5 year old .
These are all alternate versions of Marvel characters. Some form What-If issues or different universes. Secret Wars is about different universe's characters interacting at the end of the multiverse. This cover is basically a big love letter to all these weird ideas.
What do you mean, Jim? We're all cats. *doodly doo doodly doo doodly do* /twilightzone
Alternative universe where eveyrone is an animal.

Love Alex Ross' art. That Doom cover and the one with Reed and Ultimate Reed are particularly brilliant.
