It didn't have to be Marinette. It didn't have to be Adrien, and in some universes, it wasn't. Yet, throughout it all, Gabriel Agreste remains a villain, preying on the emotions of others.
Adrien Agreste takes one day longer to convince Gabriel to go to school. Marinette Dupain-Cheng has to take some sweets to Alya's house before she makes it to the college. Neither of them ever meet Master Fu.
In an alternate universe, new heroes arise, yet the threat remains the same. In some cases.. the threat is far worse than the original.
