With marvel having thor introducing nordic mythology and dc having wonder woman and captain marvel introducing greco roman mythology
What kind of magic/mythology should valiant try to fit into its world?

hindu
The counterpoint to Greco-Roman and Nordic would either be British-Celtic (Marvel also has this though) or Slavic. So it should be Slavic. You could make an argument for Germano-Nordic being distinct from Nordic and a viable alternative though.
Fun outsider option: Finnish
This is sticking to Europe because the two you mentioned are European, but obviously if you go outside that you have thousands of options.

Meso-american

Japanese shinto.

While hindu mythology is cool you run the same problems with other still practicing religions where its hard to not sound preachy, critical, insensitive or run into other problems.

I know rai is about Japan in the future so maybe they will have some of that in the future

They should combine mesoamerican with native/inuit and aboriginal/Polynesian.
Egyptian
There is a little bit in both Marvel and DC but it's not very prominent.

I thought they did Voodoo with the Shadow Man

Slavic would be great if there was a single coherent story from those days preserved.

Marvel has Norse (Thor an them), Greco-Roman (Hercules an them), and Celtic (Captain Britain's whole deal) mythologies, at least. DC (so far as I know) only Greco-Roman, and maybe Chinese (I know China has a superteam, but I don't know if it's based on their mythology, or some of it, or none of it). Both also use Judeo-Christian stuff, having featured various angels and devils over time. It's also the case that all of that shit is public domain, so everyone can do anything, and there could even be a books solely about the champions of various deities and pantheons getting in punch-ups to decide which old-time religion gets to come back to modern day.

In fact, even MtG has had sets based on various mythologies, from norse to greek to japanese to that horror movie set they did a couple of years ago. They've changed it enough to avoid an outright copy, but the influences are there.
