Does anyone remember a really dark take on the marvel universe?

Does anyone remember a really dark take on the marvel universe? It had all of these really unorthodox and far-fetched designs for classic characters. For instance, the punisher was an accountant or something

Jeff Smith's SILVER SURFER, who...I...what? This version is apparently so mind-altered by (another?) Galactus that he even forgets how to be loyal, and kills his master...only to be forced to supplant him, becoming the new destroyer of worlds, using Galactus' old ship to "slice" through the fabric of space. I suppose Jeff Smith must have been busy drawing BONE and couldn't spend as long designing as he did painting...I'll give him this, though, at least this version of Norrin 'totally' Radd looks somewhat more alien.

Greg Scott's COLOSSUS, the "hammer and sickle of the Communist state", and only now as I actually read these pitches do I realise how unsettlingly bad they are at race relations. Oh, the 1990s, eh?

John Totleben's DOCTOR OCTOPUS, from a world where Otto was denied his funding and the waste byproducts of his radioactive experiments were dumped in the ocean and caused horrifying mutations, eventually spreading to humanity and starting a post-apocalyptic fish-people future. This is still, of course, better than anything Dan Slott ever did with the character. By several miles.

Kevin Lau's ELEKTRA, because "Hey! Kids love anime! Kevin, you draw anime, right?". This Elektra escapes death by constantly switching bodies, which could be an interesting take for...a different creative team.

Frank Teran's PUNISHER, whose major difference is in being a timid accountant inspired to justice by his murdered family becoming "statistics", vowing to keep a record of the scum he kills in his little logbook. He also...wears a gas mask, like on the cover, and fights demons? It seems like Teran wanted to spice up what seems like a slightly boring pitch for a, let's face it, already-boring character.

Phil Hester's HUMAN TORCH (Jim Hammond), another one I'd read, even accept in the 616 (though continuity seems less and less important these days...perhaps I'm just getting older). Probably they'd have to *not* go with Kreuger's rejiggered origin story, where the Torch's creator is Jewish, having "wept and gagged on the air of his burning people for too long...he would fight fire with fire." (Bolding not mine.) Almost but not quite as bad as that time DC literally created a villain based on Zyklon-B.
