Got it? Are you sure? Alright then son, buckle up.

Now you have to reinvent their originstory. You can change whatever you want, within logical parameters. For example,you have Murdock gain cyber-implants and become Daredevil, but you can't make him a SHIELD Agent, give him implants, ditch the lawyer-stuff and costume, because then the only thing that resembles DD is the name.

But here's the catch/swerve to make things interesting:

You also have to change the setting/time period/universe. Having Peter be the son of AIM Agents who's also black and gay is "new" and all,but hardly a revamp. So why not put him in a futuristic world, or turn him into a Spider-Monster in a fantasy land? That kinda stuff.

Works as a stripper for Hydra, takes S.H.I.E.L.D agents to the back VIP room and kills them, is a size queen always looking for a new villain to fill her up, her last fling was with Sabertooth.

I'll go first:

The year is 2099. It's a time of great inovation and technological advancement. Neon light dresses the roads, as humanity is slowly conquering the stars. Colonies on Mars and the Moon are thriving. Earth is no longer in danger. Everything changes, evolves, progresses, with a fast pace at that.

Victor is a theoretical physicist. A pretty important one at that. Head of a whole division at one of the best research centers, AIM AKA Advanced Idea Mechanics. He used to be full of wonder and questions, but now... The current world is not very kind on such concepts. Silly theories and children's stories, they say. And you cannot deny the wonders of today's climate, really. Everything seems so... perfect. And so Victor leads an enjoyable life. Fame, money, even women,once in every blue moon. He's not unhappy, really. A tad dissapointed, but a far cry from the days of struggling to make ends meet.

And today is the day of their most daring experiment. An interdimensional portal to... somewhere... If only they knew...

Anyway, it's a reworking of something I posted a few days ago. Victor is not a gypsy peasant here,but instead head of a team that manages to break into the world of Eldritch Horrors. This experience changes him, and he starts researching the occult. In this world, Strange has replaced the Ancient One, and Latveria is a small country existing between Italy and Greece, once being the side-jewel of the Roman & Byzantine Empires.

I find the idea of magic in a technologically advanced setting interesting, because it's rarely tackled, and you can do a whole lot with it.

For example, Wong could now be an A.I. The Astral Plane could be plugging into the Source Code of the Universe and accessing a Matrix-like world.

Anyway, his suit would be a whole lot more tech-y & 2099 inspired. He starts off as a cold but ultimately good guy, but slowly turns more controlling. I have more if anybody's interested.

They say the Apocalypse has come. That we have sunk down once again into an age of myth. I heard that from someone I met along the road. He was a learned man, from a time when the contents of books had worth in the world. He told me that what we saw, back when it all began, the plagues, the starvation, the massacres, the suicides, they were all signs of what had just become real. He said, and I remember this exactly, "The conceptual has become literal." That Pestilence, and Famine, and War, and Death, they ride upon this Godforsaken Earth. Then he stepped off the rooftop.

I believe the Horsemen ride the Earth. But I do not believe God has forsaken this world. 'Apocalypse,' in the original Greek, does not mean 'end of the world.' It means 'revelation.' And the ultimate truth of the Book of Revelations, the Book of Apocalypse, is that despite all the horrors of Hell, what is good and right shall win.

If this is an age of myths, then it is also an age of heroes. If Hell can send its servants incarnate, then so can Heaven. Where Pestilence rode, Healing will follow. Where Famine rode, Abundance will follow. Where War rode, Peace will follow.

And even when Satan unleashes Death, have faith, my children. For sooner or later, he shall face the Vengeance of the Lord.

Zoom

Crippled from childhood, Eobard Thawne always dreamed of being able to run as fast as his hero, the Flash. In a desperate, yet ultimately unsuccessful attempt to travel back to the Flash's time and ask him how to replicate his legendary Speed Force powers, Eobard ended up exposed to the resident Speed Force energies of the Cosmic Threadmill, the Flash's time machine. Eobard mutated into a Speed Force-using metahuman, but one very different from his idealized hero. Instead of accessing any sort of acceleration, Eobard mastered time and destination, allowing him to "zoom in" to any area he can see or visualize which exists in present, past or future. The drawback is his need to know exactly how the area looks like at that point of time to teleport there, making him dependent on archived footage/livestreams/information from other time travelers, else he risks ending up in a warped alternate universe, or even ceasing existence by transporting himself into a fictional world that exists only on the pages of a book. He'd be a Silver Age-style time traveling thief at first, before crossing paths with Barry again and again and slowly growing to despise him and envy his powers.

His parents both lived, giving him the opportunity to enjoy a much happier childhood and be trained by badasses.
He works for Dr. Connors trying to find a cure for Daredevil's blindness (and hopefully in general) before some of Wisk's goons break in and apparently kill Connors and expose Peter to the formula they were working on.
Bolstered by his anger, the serum takes effect immediately and makes Parker superhuman ly fast and strong. He subdues all the men and swears vengeance against Fisk, training under Daredevil to help save New York.

Peter Parker/Spider-Man except that he ends up killing Uncle Ben by accident.

So, Peter gets his powers same as usual, bit by a spider, however he decides to become a superhero instead of a wrestler first because he's a giant comic nerd. Life's hard for him both at home and at school due to bullying and living in poverty, with his aunt may and uncle ben struggling to make ends meet. He uses comics as an escape, so that's why he becomes excited and decides to become a hero when he gets his powers.
So he's going around fucking up at first because he's still a newbie when he sees a masked burgler break into a house. Spidey decides to try and stop it, but because of his inexperience he accidentally kills the thief.
The thief is unmasked and revealed to be Uncle Ben, who's in his 40-50s, and still physically able. Peter never takes off his mask because he's too ashamed to show himself and runs off. He never learns with great power comes great responsibility , and becomes at odds with and disillusioned over the idea of a hero. His home life with aunt may becomes worse, and the only reason he decides to keep going out is due to help from the guy who would've normally been uncle ben's killer, who's now a bum on the streets with a heart of gold that he saved.

What we end up with is a spider man who has to deal with an aunt who hates spiderman actively, the authorities and most of the superhero community at his throat ALONG side the threat of his regular cadre of villains with a few exceptions that he would work with, like sandman possibly because of his backstory would allow them to be like kindred spirits. Maybe he'd act as a thief and be involved in the criminal underworld, but either way he would have a no kill policy due to his trauma. Either way I think it'd be interesting to explore a spiderman who's even more actively disliked but for actual reasons.

The Hulk but in a time period similar to that of Lovecraft novels

Essentially, Bruce Banner has been poisoned and crippled by gamma radiation and can't walk, but has not been actively transformed into the hulk via the g-bomb( as the technology is not quite there but it is getting close), it is more subtle but DOES put the potential deep inside of him.

He begins looking for a means to make him self healthy again so he can enjoy life with his wife Betty Brant (because why not) and begins to look into the occult realm and stumbles upon an eldritch ritual that may grant him the answers he seeks. Upon attempting the ritual he becomes infested by an evil demon from between dimensions or something very similar. This finds the evil in him and the hulk gene and amplifies it, turning him into a demonic beast similar in form to the hulk but much more grotesque and filled malicious intent. He nearly kills betty and numerous others in the ensuing rampage, but manages to stave of the ghoulish threat yet.. for now. He then takes it upon himself to embark on a quest to purge himself of the evil within and stop any other eldritch abominations (see what I did) that may have crawled out from the ritual (and others) in order to finally take back that which he has lost and put a stop to it once and for all.

Kinda looks like pic, but more nightmarish and Lovecraft inspired

In a shocking twist, Hydra actually succeeded in conquering the world at the end of WW2. However, individual cells of Hydra were designed as decentralized so that in the event of capture or betrayal, nobody would be able to leak the identities of everyone in Hydra and consequentially nobody's figured out yet that the entire marvel universe is composed of various Hydra agents spying on each other.

Except for the Red Skull who's actually a deep cover infiltrator from SHIELD.

Captain Steven Rodgers of the Fighting 69th Infantry has been given a secret mission by President Lincoln to sabotage the efforts of Confederate gun runner Anthony Stark. Joining him is freedman inventor Samuel Wilson, famous for his flying escape from a Baltimore shipyard.
They are also tasked with recruiting other gifted individuals for the war effort before Stark can get to them

I see the tech level being fantastic but more period appropriate. Stark does have a suit but its steam driven, Banner drinks radioactive material to become the Hulk, Pym is just a 10 foot giant etc. Rogers is just a scrappy little Irishman because there is no super solider serum and Falcons suit only glides.

There came a time when the old gods died. The brave died with the cunning. The noble perished, locked in battle with unleashed evil. It was the last day for them. An ancient era was passing in firey holocaust.

From the fires of the Great Disaster, a strange Fourth World arose from the old. A world of savagery, super-science, and sorcery. New Gods observe the Earth from the half-moons of Apokolips and New Genesis, watching as humanity picks up the pieces of their lost civilizations.

Among these survivors is Diana, a survivor of Ragnarok and an Amazon on a quest to find her lost home of Themyscira. The New Gods spectate her journey with trepidation, as this "Wonder Woman" can become either be a great ally or a terrible enemy.

When Reed got a scholarship to the Baxter Research Centre he was ecstatic. After years of hard work and ridicule, he could finally have the chance to shine. His parents certainly didn't seem to think so ("it would've been better if you were a doctor Reed, you'd be making money right now"), but he was determined. He would do something great.

And so he arrived at Baxter, where he met a slew of interesting people. Famous scientists whose name were heard across the globe. And at the very top, the Storm Twins. Mechanical Genius Johnny & Biochemist Susan. Together they had singlehandedly revolutionized the field of prosthetics and augementation. As children of the Head Scientist, and known around the globe, they were like gods. And next to them Susan's fiance, the aristocrat Victor Van Damme.

Reed did feel out of place, but hey, at least things could only get better now. Right?

Basically this is an AU F4 where Reed is a complete underdog. He's a nobody competing with modern Einsteins in a foreign environment. When the accident happens, he's kept around because of his involvement, but nobody pays him any attention. The adventures still happen, but there's a rift between Reed and the rest.

Eventually he'd snap and go full-Maker, killing them and creating android copies. He'd build his own F4 and then "Stark Trek" the Universe. But as an unhinged, aloof, unbalanced guy with a huge skull.

Yeah, but I figured I'dput this hereand see if anybody liked this. I'm also the DOOM 2099 guy. I posted that as a Strange story in another thread a few days back. I made some alterations, but I liked the concept well enough to share it again.

I will admit it's a bit stale. I have a nifty idea for Ultimate Reed as a supporting character in my X-Men idea. It'd be pretty sci-fi & involve the Inhumans as anatagonists. More "next step" than "muh allegory".

It's pretty long, so I'll do it in greentext:

>mutants are the result of Celestial tampering
>cue 2001 Monoliths
>hence why they're considered part of a "race" when all they share are mutations
>mutants have bigger lifespans, are more beautiful, and generally the ones with better abillities are smarter, stronger, better in general
>some mutations were lowkey enough for them not to be discovered
>so humanity has progressed much faster
>we start around 2050 or so
>Earth has multiple colonies and has detected alien life, but that's kept a secret
>Xavier's School is located in Scotland, and the O5 are the original students alongside Logan, an old friend of Cuck's
>Magneto is an isolationist and has taken refugee in the Savage Land
>By 2050 the O5 have grown up and act as the "mascots" of mutantkind
>through clever PR mutants are not entirely hated
>they haven't faced any major villaisn thus far, just random mutant monsters and whatnot
>Trask is this Universe's Stark, ie having more money than God and with his hands in every weapon, tech-device or application

To cut right to the chase, Reed would take the role of TIM from Mass Effect. The story behind him would be that he and the F4 tried to become "mutants", but failed, with Reed being the only one whosurvived. his intellect started growing rapidly and his body stopped aging, so he took refugee in a space station and started manipulating events to push humanity forward and ensure the survival of mutantkind. As we delve into the more Sci-Fi parts like Shi'ar or Phoenix he'll start playing a more central role, but in the beginning he'd be nothing but a shadowy figure.

Meanwhile, Doom would be head of the Hellfire Club, masquareding as a Mutant, when in reality he's a Nobleman using Ancient Cosmic Science AKA Magic to pose as one. Further down the line, it'd be revealed he's actually an Inhuman,and after his exile and introduction ofthe Inhuman Royal Family he'd start a coup and attempt to become King.
>>
>>94373263
I'd also change some nationalities and characteristics. Not colours, just ethnicity. For example:

>Beast is a German Biochemist
>Jean is Scottish and an Archeologist
>Warren is an English Nobleman with an interest in history
>Xavier is an English Lord & Genticist
>Bobby is an American Film Student
>Scott is a Greek Physicist
>Magneto was a Polish-Jewish Engineer
>Wanda is a French (daughterof Mags) Writer
>Gambit is an Italian Artist

And so on and so forth. For the most part the X-Men never received any education, so I'd change that. Xavier would want to create perfect mutants, educated and healthy, not just fighting machines.

The explosion in the desert wasn't a prelude to kidnapping Tony Stark, but an attempt at killing him. Badly injured by the IED, his attackers thought they'd succeeded and they abandoned him.

In a very real sense, his "highly advanced medical prosthetic" line is accurate. The suit is something more along the lines of a robocop/metal gear series style cyborg body than merely armor which can be removed.

Che Guevara's place in history is replaced by a young man who was born in prison, and traveled the world after he escaped. He traveled on the same motorcycle, became the same medical practitioner, and led the same revolution.

The change in his life was his early years, where prison formed enormous ambition in his heart. His people's revolution will come to a young Gotham, where his target is not some petty vigilante, but the capitalist pig Bruce Wayne himself.

Well, that's the explaination given in the books, and it makes sense.

I would rework the entirety of the X-Men mythos if I could. I'll also post about one character in particular next (pic related), so that I stay on-topic with the thread.

I love the idea of "species" of mutants, it makes them make more sense to me. We have so many examples of Mutant lineage actually mattering in what powers are passed on, so it already fits. Give them some consistent traits, and establish HARD limits on what they can do, and make them consistently weaker than their other super-being counterparts (the way they used to, like when Spider-Man could take out the entire team alone). Of course, there would be sub-groupings within the "species" as well.
The different types of mutants could be:

>"Logans" - Feral instincts, animal-esque traits, healing factor that extends lifespan (Wolverine and Co., Beast, Wolfsbane, Angel, etc.)

>"Apocalyptians" - Powers that involve their own individual genetic timelines, including a sort of time travel that involves assumption of previous and future selves, ancestors, and/or descendants (Apocalypse, Gideon, Mister Sinister, Madrox, etc.)

>"Summerses" - Energy blasters and/or manipulators, often unable to harm other mutants or those related (or something similar) (Cyclops, Havoc, Gambit, etc.)

>"Manipulators" - (also called JEANNNNS) Those with telepathy and/or telekinesis, and includes all shapeshifters and elementalists, both literal and psychically-projected (Emma, Professor Xavier, Magneto, Mystique, Pyro, etc.)

>"Hunters" - Those with the ability to influence other Mutant's powers, whether stealing them, copying them, or shutting them down and/or powering them up (M, Rogue, Leech, Caliban, Callisto, etc.)

Henry "Hank" McCoy was born to wealthy land baron parents in Alberta, Canada sometime in the mid-to-late 1800's. There is often debate as to which of them is older about The Wolverine and The Beast, although Hank likes to deflect and jokingly point out the legendarily-vain Namor, the Sub-Mariner as the oldest Mutant he knows when asked.

Hank was born with abnormally-large hands and feet, both of which possess the kind of claws a savanna lion would have, and his teeth are also razor-sharp. He appears feline in nature, but is obviously-human upon closer inspection. His body is covered in fine, gray fur; as he ages, it is beginning to take on a cobalt-blue hue and a coarser texture. Hank possesses strength and endurance greater than that of the world's foremost athletes, and his literally-cat-like reflexes place him above the best gymnasts in dexterity and grace. He can heal from injuries that would fell a lesser man, and his body is so resilient that it resists aging.
His skin is more akin to a hide; knives can barely pierce it without great effort on their wielders' part. His true super-power, as so few of either Homo-Sapiens or Homo-Sapiens-Superior possess it, is his oft-unmatched intellect.

Hank studied every subject under the sun, home-schooled by his worldly, well-read father who kept him secluded indoors for his own safety as well as the sparing of the McCoy family's reputation. Reading of the feats of Hercules, and of the supposed sightings of the Olympian himself, Henry pleaded until his parents relented and allowed him to head out into the world in his early twenties. He had been reading about the "new" phenomenon known as Mutants, figuring that he was one of those people and there must be more. He figured that perhaps even the legends of old were about Mutants, and he was determined to find out everything that he could about them.

The first Mutant that Hank encountered was a young man named Logan, who was suffering from amnesia...

Hank took Logan under his wing, and taught him new things to replace those he had forgotten. It would be a long road, for both of them, but they became fast friends. They connected over their mutual lack of understanding of the world around them. Hank had to teach Logan basic things like how to read, but Logan seemed to know many things beyond his years of experience about fighting and surviving. I think that they should be lovers, personally, but that might just be the gay furry in me talking.

"We should start a school for Mutants, teaching Reading, Writing, and the Arithmetic of Fighting!" Hank liked to joke about it in those days, but by 1899, the two young-looking Mutants had a bit of a reputation across the Canadian frontier. An ungodly-wealthy man by the name of Charles Francis Xavier, P.h.D. and Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at Cambridge University, caught wind of their idea while exploring his budding telepathic abilities, and decided to fund their dream and expand upon it. He tracked the two companions down in Nova Scotia after tracking them for months, and presented to them a proposition of buying them land far away from civilization.
Somewhere in a hidden location far to the North, there exists what is now a historic Canadian institution: The Xavier Institute for Mutant Research and Education. Despite the name, Hank and Logan were also heavily involved in running and publicizing the sanctuary and school.

It wasn't until World War II, when Henry McCoy, Logan, and Charles Xavier led a contingency of X-Men alongside the allied front, that Mutants were in the public consciousness again. Emboldened, a young boy named Magnus tore Auschwitz to the ground with his control over magnetic metals and electromagnetic fields, and he returned to America with the X-Men, training to be the first of their New Mutants.

Gods of Earth.

-

Long ago two alien empires using magitech fought over Earth shattering their fleets against each other. Falling from the sky onto ancient humans came the ruins of their ships, weaponry and tools. These artifacts were claimed by humans, the magitech binding to their new hosts. Some of the artifacts extend their hosts lives and understanding, but are still foreign with gaps due to the alien nature.

The humans claiming these artifacts place themselves as Gods among their fellow humans ruling over their fellow humans. Each of them have limited knowledge of the global spread of the artifacts and wish to claim them all to rule them all. But these artifacts also warp the mind due to their alien knowledge, growing distant from other humanity in some cases. Some are completely alien, while others are quite close to the rest of humanity.

Various pantheons form around families and alliances of people, while some can switch sides on occasion. Artifacts are often passed down to the children and relatives (if not taken in battle). Many of the less expansive artifacts which don't extend the lifespan are given to retainers sworn to the gods (Demigods).

So this can use a whole bunch of the gods and stuff from Marvel and DC. Thor could be one of the Gods of Asgard who still remains mostly human and leads their armies against all comers. Wonder Woman could be one of the bastard daughters of Zeus and one of his favored retainers, inheriting her mothers gear. Hercules could be one of the famed retainers who claimed a God's artifact in battle ascending to a key role in the Greek pantheon. etc

I'd literally have to reinvent Sburb to make her origin story. In order to do this, I make it so Sburb is a kind of a secondary Doctor Strange-esque dimension superimposing itself on Earth, probably through advanced technology, and everything in the game is a construct with it allowing super positioning of other Universes. The game mechanics work solely on earth rather than introducing other planets (With mini-zones imposed as pocket dimensions replacing the rings) Game players get some kind of special, maybe Chip? Injection? Brain click schtick thingy that allows them to see, interact and become aware of 'Sburb' and play it - For instance the Totem Lathe beaming the laser into their heads instead of inanimate objects. Construction is mental and metaphysical.

Rose comes into being when a this process goes wrong in the future, whereas or Roxy is some girl is playing, she's 'superimposed' over her entirely with an enigma how she came from the game (As an AI? From another universe? Sburb itself like the Hunter in Jumanji? An anomaly? Mysterious..), but is now existing on the physical plane and has essentially merged with her host, in this cyberpunk-y VR Sburb game. There's some existential quandary for her, having come into existence via the game overtop some girl and now being forced to play the game on humanities behalf.

Character: Ultraman
Setting: Alt-Post Death of Superman Universe.

Ultraman arrived soon after the death of Superman, right before his apperance Superman's grave was attacked by a group of his worst enemies including Lex Luthor, Mongul, Brainiac, and Mr. Myxlplyx. No one is sure who got the corpse but a few weeks later Ultraman showed up along side the Anhiliator, Cyborg Superman and the others.

He claimed to be the real Superman brought back by dark magic or alien science, (he keeps changing the story.) He claims he has seen the otherside and it has clearly driven him insane. He has no more will or desire, no more interest in saving people or making the world better. He wants to stay alive and avoid the otherside while living the most hedonistic life he can in this world.

He goes about this in classical Ultraman criminal fashion.

-A few of the aliens survive the hard landings, but find it hard to survive in the alien and magic poor Earth environment. They collect human serfs to help them as they adapt themselves to earth and try to get back home or open Earth to the general magic currents of the wide universe. The getting back home could fail but the opening of magic could work. These aliens could seek a different environment keeping them out of most of the other affairs. Like extreme cold, deep sea or high altitude. The magic revival would be a big game changer.

-The aliens could also die out leaving their serfs to take over their stuff in the aftermath of that event. Serfs who have been ruled by their ways for generations. They could then be the Inhumans, humans but alien in culture and extremely powerful.

-Most humans without stuff would be not very useful so armies are small. Most just help as scouts, camp followers, porters and other support issues. Most of the fighters would be covering weaknesses for the particular fighter and skirmishers like archers and slingers.

-Tech would be bronze or iron age, like pre medieval. Advances have been made but are limited, fractures and haphazard. Most also rely on drawing magic from the environment, which earth is rather poor in. So cannibalizing items can be used, but there is a limited number. Making them valuable beyond their raw use and taking others extremely important.

I like this world, but what would the rider actually be like? Is this a mad max style apocalypse, but with demons? Is it the pure spirit or does it still need a host?

>>94365467
Hulk literally is Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde in modern times. You just unscienced that cliche
>>
>>94378560

For purposes of story it's better that the Rider be bound to a human host. More chance for conflict and it would be easier to relate to a person than the incarnation of God's Vengeance. Besides, it's more consistent. The Horsemen are concepts incarnate, meaning 'made flesh.' So, more human. More agency, more personality. I thought of it as post-apocalypse setting, where the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse still ride around to get their kicks out of ruining new human settlements. (Again, more human.)

He feels it again. Slowly creeping up to him. The hunger. The rage. The urge to grab itand lash out at the world. He sees the filth around him and wishes he could get rid of it. He opens the news and sees his beloved City being overrun by these... these savages. And all he wants is to answer the cries of his blade and cut off their heads. His name is Dane Whitman. He is the Black Knight. He is the Holy Warrior of God. And he knows what he must do...

Okay, so this is a revamp of Dane. Instead of him being a wimp who tries to ignore the call of the blade and be a hero, he's a firm believer in the Supernatural and has clearly villainous tendencies. He's English with Greek Ancestry, and so when the Ebony Blade falls on his hands, his sole purpose becomes to reclaim Constantinopole and DEUS VULT everything.

It's a pretty big departure from the original, but I always enjoyed seeing more villainous takes. If it was an ongoing, I'd have him be part of MI:13 (still a physicist), but he'd be a deeply prejudiced and distrustful guy who'd manipulate people and events to climb the hierarchy and put his goals forward. He'd get involved with HYDRA and then we'd cross into the Eldritch Abomination territory.

A good end point would be him conquering the City, with the final panel being him devising plans to ressurect the Byzantine Empire. If "sales" were good, I'd continue it, with Doom as a primary antagonist.

True, but the hulk is also just a more science-y dr. jekel and Mr. Hyde meets frankenstein by that logic, it' not necessarily a bad thing, but the real clincher would be on the execution.

Personally, I'd like it to run in a fashion similar to pic related but a bit more long term maybe, just a few more chapters at least to better flesh out the setting and all, because it's always nice to see just what can be done with a concept like this.

I see your point, but it's merely a point to overcome to make it better I suppose

My name is Scott Summers and I'm a member of the time displaced X-men and I am in need of a little excitement so I'm gonna go watch the Cuckoos preform at this strip club I hear is really nice, I enter and sit down and order a drink the triplets are halfway through their set.
I feel someone running their fingers through my hair. "Hey baby" I hear someone whispering in my ear. I turn around to see a gorgeous dancer behind me, my eyes locked onto her dazzling green eyes, her long black hair draping down her body, covering her boobs.
She makes her way round to face me, taking a bill from my grasp, she forced her way between my legs and began dancing on top of me. She leans in closer "For $100 more, I'll treat you".
I reach into my wallet, handing over the money. She smiles and takes my hand, leading me to the VIP room in the back.
"My name is Laura. Just in case you wanted to know" She allows me to walk through first, telling me to head to the 3rd door down on the left. I smile and nod my head, walking into the room.
The room is dimly lit, bottles of massage oils around the room, boxes of tissues. "Nice place" I say. What else was I meant to say???
She laughs, she can sense my nervousness. "First time you've received extra I'm guessing?" I nod my head, swallowing what saliva I had left in my mouth. Not sure what's happening, this woman was intimidating, yet I found it such a turn on.
She winked as she took the straps down from her bra, letting them hang down against the tops of her arms, reaching round I bit my lip as she unhooked it. Slowly removing it, her beautiful green eyes not leaving mine as she threw her bra at my face. Her gorgeous breast exposed to me. I lick my lips as she begins running her hands over her body, gently pinching her erect nipples.
>>
>>94380420
She falls to her knees and crawls towards me, once again forcing her way in between my legs, looking up at me licking her lips. I reach down and unbutton my jeans. Once free, she helps me pull them down along with my underwear. My hard cock on full show to her.
"Hello big boy!"
I couldn't help but smile and accept the compliment. The smile soon turned into a full on lip bite as she took me whole in her mouth. Her lips almost reaching the bottom of my shaft. A feat not yet managed but fuck me did this girl come close.
She used her hand to wrap herself around me and jerk me off as she held my hard cock in her mouth. Her gorgeous green eyes staring up at me, begging me to moan for her.
She took me out of her mouth and held my cock upright, using her tongue to lick up my shaft, starting from my balls, working her way up to my tip, forcing pre-cum up to my hole, which she gracefully licked clear. Watching her pull away as a strand of cum connected me to the tip of her tongue.
She then stood up and slowly pulled her panties down, allowing them to freely drop down to her feet. Stepping out of the slowly, she walked towards me, her crystal green eyes locked on to my manhood.
She smiled as she straddled me, her long legs wrapped over my thighs. She grabbed hold of my erection and slowly placed it in her wet pussy. Which to my surprise was very tight, causing my skin to retract down my cock, my bulging pink helmet being soaked by her pussy juice.
She threw her head back in ecstasy as she began rocking against me, she took complete control, her arms wrapped around my neck. Her perfectly polished red fingernails digging into my skin.

She began fucking me harder, pushing herself down on to me. Thrusting my cock as deep inside her as I could. She then unwrapped her arms from my neck, moving them down to her gorgeous thighs, resting them there as she rocked herself faster against my throbbing hard on.
I bit my lip as I watched her pinch one of her hard nipples, her moan almost screeching from her mouth as I felt the warmth of her orgasm pour from her pussy and over my cock.
I grabbed her hips as she came, my turn to take control and see her through this. She allowed me to as she flung her hands up through her long, black hair. Moaning louder against my thrusts, her cum still seeping from her pussy.
The sound of her wet pussy banging against my hard cock was enough to bring on my own ecstasy. I grab her hips hard as I pulled her closer, sucking on her erect nipples, my tongue swirling around her buds as I released my own warm flow of fluids inside her.
Once we were both completely satisfied, she climbed off of me as if I wasn't there, dressing herself once more and off out of sight after collecting my money.
"That was nice, see you around big boy" she said then she was gone around the corner.
I wasn't complaining though. Best $100 I've ever spent.

>>94381113
well there's abomination like I mentioned earlier, so it'd only make sense to include more from Hulk's Rogues gallery, like zzax and the leader. and maybe some avengers action except that they are like a church and they go all salem and go witch hunting(some witches but it's just the supernatural in general), so he'd be on edge with them do to his duality and all. Some people like Morbius could work as well, and he could work with a mutant spider man to fight some of them as well.
I particularly find that putting the leader as the head of the main cult working against Hulk would be appropriate, and they would summon other hulk villains as demons and what not, to have a central villain group to work against.
It would really depend on how long the story would go on for in all honesty.

Ulysses Bloodstone and other monster hunting Marvel characters would be great here.

>>94381490
for sure, turning into a whole hunters vs monsters thing would make sense in narrative, but it could risk losing the whole horror edge, which would make it more boring. Nerf the heroes, buff the villains make it more of a tough fight to make things more interesting, with actual character deaths.
Also have to consider slowly edging into that, because it'd be really boring to introduce the whole monster hunting thing too early on.
Start off solo, then slowly build up more characters.

>>94381402
Well, I guess I can do a few greentexts.

>Dane
Starts off as an optimistic young bloke interested in learning more about the universe. Kinda aloof, clean-shaven, a jolly fellow. While working on the physics behind a portal (ala Portal), he comes across some ancient tomes and starts reading about Occult stuff. At first he considers it all silly and just tries to amuse himself, but the more he reads, the more immersed he becomes. His personality and world-view starts changing.

The final blow comes from an extremist attack, which finds Dane in the very heart of it, leading to him killing his first man in order to save his life. From then on he becomes more calculating, grows a beardand starts walking down a dangerous path.

Generally I envision it as a Darth Vader esque story. He's constantly ron between his rage and his kind spirit, and starts "succumbing" to the Blade. In reality the Blade doesn't "talk". It's just Dane looking for someone to blame.

As for other characters, I'd make Doc Strange his mentor figure that keeps him in line. Valkyrie as is love interest. Cap Britain as his Best Friend. pete Wisdom as the jackass. The more evil he becomes though, the more his alliances change. He ends up joining a HYDRA Fraction.

Dunno if you've seen Banshee, but I'm envisioning it as the story of the main character, but in reverse.

Stephen never cared about his father's stories. They were exciting in the old times, sure, but now... not so much. The world had changed. "Ye old family had ships and ships boy. Wewere freedom fighters, pirates, salesmen.We ruled the seas". Ridiculous, he thought. Just a sad old man living in the past. Stephen wanted to explore the stars and the brave new world that was open to him.

But alas, money, money, money. It's always money. No stars for Stephen. Engineering paid more you see. So he buckled down and became yet another engineer. But by that time, the market was full of them. Still, he managed to find an opening in... not shady, but uh, "unique" company. And he did good there. he rose the ranks. He became head of an expedition program. He even managed to join NASA.

But like all good things, the end was near. One mistake, and his whole career was done for. Just a decimal, it was. Just a decimal... Stephen was out of a job, with no offers and with debt pilling up. So he said "damn it all" and dusted off his pops' old boat, fixed it with what little money he had, and sailed for... somewhere. if he was lucky the sea would just eat him up.

But he was not solucky. Or rather, he was... in a way. The boat somehow, took him to an unknown place. An uncharted mountain that rose from the depths of the sea. And so Stephen began to climb. And climb and climb. Towards that bright light...

It's a Doctor Strange AU where his ancestors were pirates, and instead of the Ancient One being a "wise Asian" trope, he's kind of a Lovecraftian monster that was defeated by Agamotto and then possessed by him. Stephen's name is Fischer, derived from the Greek Island of "Psarra", which is legendary for its traders and pirates during the 1821 rebellion.

Why? Because I finished Black Sails recently and what Strange dressing up like a Pirate Sorcerer and becoming a swashbuckler ala Sinbad.

Might as well give you more anon. Some notes:

>Stephen
He looks as flamboyant as ever, really. He's still a wise man in his 50s when he suits up, but he's a bit of "show-stopper". Think Captain Flint crossed with Calico Jack.

He'd initially be a protector of Earth,but then start branching out and travelling the cosmos to gain alien knowledge. The fan inside me tellsme that he should be riding around in a "magic pirate ship"...

>Ancient One
Like I said, he'd be a Lovecraftian Monster of the deep possessed by Agamotto. He would be "the Ancient One". He'd be an immortal being and not a line of succession. He could shapeshift and take a human form, something along the lines of Ben Kingsley, but his "monster form" would be something akin to Davy Jones.

>Clea, Dormammu, Umar
Mostly the same looks, but Umar & Dormammu are husband and wife here. Rulers hell-bent on dominating universes,but devoted to each other in a Morticia & Gomez way from the Addams Family. Clea knows they're evil,but still loves them.They consider her a dissapointment, but still love her as well. Maybe I'd ad a couple ofothers to create a whole "Addams Family of Interdimensional Monsters".

>Mordo
Descendant of Dracula,heir to a bankrupt mnsion and with a familyname that's been through the mud. He has nothing and wishes to bring back the glory to his former home. Not so much a villain, but a man who falls in line with monsters to achieve his goals. A tragic figure.

>Doom
King of Latveria, a small nation between Italy and Greece. He's dead-set on bringing back the glory of his country and creating the third empire in the Roman/Byzantium line. He feel akinship with Stephen due to their common ancestry,but their methods are different, which brings them at odds.

>Nightmare
Once the personification of dreams ala Morpheus,he's now been corrupted due to the violent and anxious ways of all sentient life acrossthe universe. He's a man with a job, and his job has driven him mad.

I'd find a way to fuse Gwenpool with the Re:Creators anime concept. Through the power of the fandom's appreciation of the variant cover art and the resulting fanart, a mysterious force allows two comic nerds to get together, have children, and name them Teddy and Gwen Poole, making their powers genetic and not accidental. As a result, the siblings make their own way into the marvel universe rather than accidentally.

When the Vikings first went to America, they found it far less hospitable than they'd hoped, the raids from the Native Americans were too much for them, they prayed to their gods for help, but only Thor came. He fought with them for years, the Vikings slowly dying off, eventually it was only Thor left, doing battle, and then even he died, his essence being bound to his hammer, Mjolnir. Over the years, many would find the hammer and try to lift it for themselves, however none of them were found worthy of Thor.

Centuries later during an attack by the stone-men from Saturn, Dr. Donald Blake picks up the hammer, gaining Thor's power in the process. As well as this Thor appears to him, speaking to him, offering advice, etc. to help Donald be his true self.

The story itself would be as much about Thor discovering what the world is like today through Donald Blake's eyes as it is about Donald Blake discovering the world of gods and magics. Thor would see how all the old gods and monsters he would fight with centuries ago have adapted (or failed to adapt) to the new godless 21st Century.

>Hawkeye: Archer's Paradox
Clint Barton was on his way to becoming an U.S. Olympian when his brother Barney gets mixed up with Wilson Fisk.
Out of love for his brother, Barton creates the masked identity of Hawkeye and uses his skills as an archer to steal enough to pay Barney's debts.

His criminal ways make him a target of New York City's heroes and ends being taken down by Iron Man.
Prison is rough on Barton and the media circus that surrounds his arrest destroys any future he could have had.

Hawkeye becomes a villain, often teaming up with other supervillains like Swordsman and TaskMaster.

Going in and out of the Raft, Hawkeye has a moment of clarity when he saves a number of civilians during one the Avengers battles that wrecks part of NYC.

Seeing this quality, Barton is approached by Iron Man and Nick Fury to lead a rehab program for his fellow masked criminals.

Hawkeye becomes the leader of the first Thunderbolts.

I imagine him as a counterpart to Cap and his Avengers. Maybe even give him Vibranium tipped arrows to do more ricochet trick shots.

sounds nice. But in order to keep up with the thread, you got any ideas for setting, i.e. the time period, or location perhaps? solid idea still but I'm just curious personally.
>>
>>94385386
I'd say it's roughly modern times.
As for setting/location the majority of Hawkeye's time would be in prison for a bit of that HBO's Oz storylines considering he would be a target for working with the "authorities."

Perhaps at some point Hawkeye and his Thunderbolts would have their own base that also acts as a halfway house.

As for missions I imagine it would be similar to when the States uses convicts as fire-fighters, they would only be brought in for things that are out of the Avengers attention.
That way the Thunderbolts would have more street-level villains who would actually be considered for parole, no city destroyers or monsters.

>The Indomitable Hulk
Bruce Banner is a talented geneticist working for the betterment of humanity, or so he thought.
Banner discovers that the research company he works for is actually a cover for the terrorist organization A.I.M.

Unsure how to contact the authorities, Banner goes to his fiance's father General Ross who brings Banner into SHIELD.

Banner becomes a spy for SHIELD and tries to smuggle his work out of his lab but is caught. Desperate he injects himself with his experimental MGH cocktail and burns the lab to destroy his work, sacrificing himself.

However this is not the end for Banner, the genetic chimera within in him saves him and the Hulk is born.

Banner and the Hulk will use brain and brawn respectively to combat super-science oriented criminals.
As the series goes on Banner becomes a better spy and the Hulk has a more focused rage against the people who created him, akin to Frankenstein's Monster.

>>94385316
His brother should die to give him some pathos, really so because if Fisk fucks with the brother of an Olympic archer and suddenly an archery themed vigilante shows up, he's gonna put two and two together with a fucking quickness.

Okay so strap in because this one's gonna get weird.

So it's ancient Greek times, and Poseidon has an illegitimate son with some human woman. Like all Greek gods, he fucks off and leaves her holding the baby, only for the boy to grow up into a man with aquatic abilities. After mankind develops reliable methods of inter-continental wayfaring, An immortal himself, the son wages war against the gods of Olympus in revenge for all the ill they have done to mankind.

Eventually, humanity conquers the oceans; Poseidon dies and the Age of Exploration begins. Aquaman attempts to claim his birthright, only for his father to curse him with his dying breath, encasing him in ice.

Hundreds of years pass, and Aquaman is finally freed from his frozen prison when the RMS Titanic plows into an iceberg, knocking his unconscious body into the water. Aquaman drifts all the way to turn-of-the-century New York, where he must try to blend into a world he left behind, despite being an ancient Greek demigod.

Meanwhile, a great white hunter from Africa learns of Aquaman's existence. Having lost his wife when the Titanic sank, the man goes insane from grief, and rationalizes that Aquaman must have caused the wreck in the first place; had Aquaman not been floating by in his frozen prison, the ship would have completed its journey without incident.
Arming himself with a diving suit and a harpoon gun, Black Manta takes to the seas, hoping to exact revenge on the white whale who took his wife.

>Mutant in the High Castle.

>Magneto was one of the first mutants discovered by the Reich. Despite recognizing him as an ubermensch, his fury at the deaths of his parents was too great to accept his new position. He escaped and became a wanted fugitive. After spending a decade on the run, he immigrated to Judea, and helped to win the war for his Israeli brothers when the British Empire's ability to police the area collapsed. He was elected as the prime minister of Israel during the late sixties and seventies due to his efforts in winning the 6 day war, which led to the Israeli conquest of "Greater Israel, and includes the former nations of Jordan,Syria, Iraq, and Northern Saudi Arabia.

>Magik eventually made her way to the Reich and joined one of the new temples dedicated to the Norse Gods. She is currently high priestess off Amora at the Berlin temple.

>The Kronppelbergs were a family of nobles and bankers, known for their connections to the German Empire which allowed them certain privileges.
>The young Kronppelbegs were paragons of beauty, celebrities known for heroic stunts and for supposedly impressive war feats, which amounted to little more than lies, as the Kronppelbergs, for all their supposed physical prowess, hardly ever had to fight a day in their lives. All they had to do was be good looking, and they would live as princes, until they were old enough to continue this charade themselves.
>Oswald von Kronppelberg was the last from a long lineage of tall and handsome war heroes. Much to his dismay, and the dismay of his family, he was absolutely none of these things. The only reason why he was not smothered at birth was due to intervenience from his mother, a Prussian countess.
>For much of his childhood, Oswald lived as the deformed outcast, the ghoulish ogre that the populace believed haunted the Kronppelbergs. Victimized by his brothers and secluded from the world, Oswald's companions were few, but his hunger was intense. In his own seclusion, he did what his brothers refused to do: he studied and fought. He grew resentful of pretend heroics, of selfish war heroes, of men who never had to fight for what they owned. Educated by his mother, Oswald discovered at an early age the skills of observation, particularly when it came to people. He developed his own understanding of society. When his mother fell to illness, his father tried to have him expelled, but he was unable to find him.
>As the Kronppelbergs continued their privileged existence, their lives would be thrown in disarray with the arrival of the Great War, and the political conflicts that arose, culminating in the abdication of the Kaiser. They were abandoned by their allies, had their privileges destroyed, and eventually, what was left of the family was murdered by a gang of mercenaries.
>>
>>94396911
>Within the very first year of the war, the Kronppelberg dynasty had been virtually destroyed. As no one knew of Oswald's existence, no one targeted him. The few who did assumed he had long perished.
>The year is now 1925. Germany is reeling from the effects of war, and many of it's sons have been left in disarray. And so many troubled children require someone to take care of them.
>Thus, many have seeked the mysterious, yet kind Dr.Oswald Kabelput for aid. Oswald is a psychiatrist running mental hospitals who many trust, despite an initially odd appearence. His insight into the human physique is sharp, and he has such a keen knowledge of mental, as well as physical, care. Described as a man of miracles. The people see in Oswald a friend. The government sees in Oswald a potential ally.
>At the same time, shortly after the end of the first world war, the Germans have been hearing strange reports of a circus, which goes from town to town, cheering up the children and presenting such bizarre freaks. The massive crocodile man, the plant woman, the contortionist cat lady. And, of course, their portly masked boss, who goes by the name of "Der Pinguine". Reports of missing people are bound to follow the appearences of the circus.
>Recently, there have been appearences of a muscular, mysterious man in a strange, all-black outfit, who has begun to fight criminals and came to prominence after rescuing one of the kidnapped victims from the circus. They call him "Die Fledermaus", as he resembles a bat in form. The masked man appears to be benevolent, if brutal in his tactics. The Germans are divided on their opinion of the man, but approval appears to be more and more common.
>But to Oswald, all this man represents is another false hero he'll destroy, and another freak to his "collection".

>Anarky
Lonnie Machin is a hacktivist based out of Gotham City, better known by his handle _moneyspider.
Considered by federal authorities to be a skilled nuisance at best, just a "dumb kid who doesn't understand how the world works."

On New Year's Day, a bomb was set off inside a bank vault, destroying all the physical currency. The bank's server was hacked at the same time, erasing all debts and data for that branch.
There were zero casualties.

Lonnie Machin is a terrorist based in Gotham City, better known as Anarky.

This series (probably a short one) would have moments that show how a young person becomes radicalized.
It would also be a great way to explore more complex political ideologies and to see how Anarky would respond to his revolution being adopted and altered as the movement grows (Anonymous, BLM, etc.).

This'd be interesting, I think. On one hand he's angry atthe system, and on the other he's angry at the hijackers who have taken over his movement and twisted to serve their agenda. It'd certainly have something to say.

>Moon Knight: Archeologist of the Impossible

Marc always had an affinity for the strange and the weird. He always looked for what was hiding beneath the surface. He was always deep in his books, absorbing the knowledge of the past, and trying to uncover the uncharted mysteries of this world. But archeologists aren't in any demand these days. Without any other skills or talent, poor Marc got /fit/ and struggled through the army. Eventually he made it as a SHIELD Agent.

As the years passed, he managed to rise through the ranks, eventually becoming head of a small team of like-minded "freaks". During a "dig" in Egypt, the whole team was massacred, by a HYDRA Agent going by "Bushman". With his dying breath Marc took him down, inside the tomb of Khonshu. As he lay there dying, he felt a... presence. And thus, the Moon Knight was born.

Now a rogue without a team or organization to back him, Marc has to fend off for himself. He takes down criminal and terrorist organizations and uses their cash and gear to see through his crusade. He busts the bad guys' heads in and uncovers secrets and conspiracies.

Also, he kinda has to deal with an Eldritch God making a nest in his brain and slowly inhabitting his body, by making all the more agressive. Ripping off faces, kebabing goons and lashing out their guts. Ya know, normal vigilante stuff...
>>
>>94398064
>Were you referring to me?
Yup. I liked all the stuff I read and would like to see more. They were very interesting takes.

>It's always nice to know that he has fans other than me. When was the last time he was even mentioned?
After that ANAD mini... I think he appeared in a single panel... somewhere.

>I like your take on him, especially because I love living artifacts that impose their will upon their owners. Even when the whole thing is just a psychotic delusion.
I like the concept of the character, and considering he's a pretty much blank slate with no defining stories or whatever, I thought him becoming a /pol/ack and DEUS VULTing with the help of Chthon would be interesting.

>The idea of Pirate Captain/Doctor Strange fighting against Doctor Doom, while dealing with very strange goths from another universe, makes me smile so big. I love it. I love you for it.
Thanks! I finished Black Sails a while back, and considering lots of Lovecraftian stories are tied with the water, I figured I'd give it a go. Honestly, I was looking for a new surname to give Stephen (Strange would be his moniker after his "rebirth") and then I remembered that Fisher means fisherman, then I made the connection the water, and then I went googling to find some pirate-places.

One thing I'm torn on is whether I'd have him be a paragon of goodness or have him start compromising his values for the greater good. I'm envisioning the book as having a very Star Wars-y feel, especially when Stephen heads for the stars looking for alien magic. Him being the Obi-Wan to Doom's Vader would be good enough, but I'm kinda tempted to go the Revan route with him.
>>
>>94398219
I should add that I'd remake the various magic characters as 'Pirates" from various places. The "Magic Council" would be akin to the one from PotC. You'd have Doctor Voodoo as the Jamaican, Doctor Druid as the British, Wanda as the French, etc, etc. Obviously they wouldn't be actual pirates, but they'd have Pirate-y cues and whatnot, and they'd have clear "territories".

>>94398064
Well, I'm incompetent and screwed up my Trip, so I'll have to do it again. Crap. It was time for a new one anyways.

Continuing from >>94374837 , I really like stories where the characters can age out or die and stay dead. Except for Jean, who is iconic in her inability to stay in the ground for longer than six months at a time. In my canon, she would be the most powerful hybridization of two different "Species" of Mutant, and Apocalyptian Manipulator. Speaking of Hybrids and Dark Phoenix, Hybrids should be so rare as to be holy to some groups (like the Morlocks, who are mostly Hybrids,which is why they are so freaky in appearance and general theme). I would remove aliens from the mythos completely and keep it all localized on Earth, and preferably separate from the rest of the Marvel Universe if at all possible.

>>94398219
Aww, shucks! Thank-you, I'm really into the X-Men and Marvel in general if you couldn't tell.

Frankly, I think your Doctor Strange story has enough legs to be its own story, if you could put in the work. If "Fifty Shades of Grey" can go from a "Twilight" fanfiction to being its own thing, why not prospectively-better-and-more-interesting-in-concept fanfiction?

Eh, I'm studying physics, so I have a very limited window of free time. I write some fan-fics once in a while to relax, but I never finish anything. I don't have the time to plan ahead a whole plot.

Thanks for the compliment though!

When the planet Krypton is self-destructing, scientist couple Jor-El and Lara rocket their son Kal-El to planet Earth in a capsule.

The rocket lands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It ends up being discovered by an Atlantean couple herding fish in whatever the underwater equivalent of Kansas is. The boy seems normal, an Atlantean in all respects. Nobody except the parents know of who he truly is. Kral Ken grows up in extreme poverty, watching as his parents' herds are decimated by disease and pollution. When King Orm uses a war against the Surface World to consolidate his right to the throne in the wake of the death of Queen Atlanna, Kral is one of the first to enlist. As he marches on London with his squad, he experiences the light of the sun for the first time. A yellow sun, granting him powers beyond imagining. The Superatlantean is born.

Sorry to post slowly; I'm writing this as I go.

>>94398328
>...and Apocalyptian Manipulator
Should be "an" rather than "and." Sorry about the confusing typo.

I know that I said "separate from the rest of Marvel," but that's stupid. In my canon, I should just make the entirety of Marvel either Mutants or Inhumans, to keep it simpler. Then everybody gets their favorites, and aliens still get to show up.

Some rough ideas on the timeline for my X-Men story:
1799 - Namor born in a small Maine fishing community
1823 - Namor makes headlines after being distracted from his quest to find Atlantis, sinking a number of whaling ships in the Atlantic
1824 - Hercules joins forces with Namor, and the two of them fight evil, as well as bed everything and everyone, together as a duo
1856 - Henry McCoy born in Alberta, Canada
1863 - James Howlett (Logan) born in Alberta, Canada
1877 - Charles Francis Xavier born in Scotland
1880 - Hank convinces his parents to let him leave the McCoy Estate
1881 - Hank and Logan meet, and start their adventures
1889 - Charles Xavier accepted into Cambridge University
1898 - Charles Xavier, who has degrees in Anthropology, History, Literature, and Philosophy, is accepted into the Faculty of Cambridge University as Professor of Anthropology
1899 - Professor Xavier leaves Cambridge on grant, becoming a Professor Emeritus, and tracks down Hank and Logan
1899 (later) - Professor Xavier asks to be a part of Hank's and Logan's dream, which has always been his own as well
1901 - Ground is broken on the Xavier Institute for Mutant Research and Education somewhere secluded and far North into Canadian territory
1911 - Construction on the Institute is finished, although many Mutants and allies/families have already been living and studying there for years

>Well Physics is a noble field of study, and not an easy one, so good luck in all of your endeavors! If you ever do write it, I hope I somehow get to read it.

Thanks for the kind words! As a last ideabefore my break's done, here's something I've been working on:

It'd be a Doom ongoing book, but with a twist. See, the first arc would be a fairly long one, detailing his early life, training with the Monks, takeover of Latveria, all of that jazz. It'd be framed as the tale someone is telling to a small boy. But with every cut to the present, the "past" would change. In one issue Victor would reference his Roma parents, and in other his Latverian single father. In another he'd mention Doom being his birthname, and in others he'd refuse to discuss the surname. In some cases he'd feel nostalgic for the Latverian palace, and in others he'd long for the freedom of his dad's fishing boat.

Those inconsistencies would start piling up, but they're more like contradictions, stories, made up by a fractured mind to cope with his tragedy. In the end of the "Origin of Doom", it'd be revealed that we were following the origin of many Dooms at the same time. A Doom of the year 2099. A Doom thatis actually Kang the Conqueror. A Doom in the Arthurian Times. Doom is a constant, would be the main theme.

And in the very end, it'd be revealed that the person they were telling the story to, was just another Doom, waiting for his "rebirth". And that Doom is... YOU(!) DUN DUN DUN. Kind of a 4th Wall Break.

I like this idea of Doom being a constant, and more of an idea rather than a person. As the series would progress, we'd focus on a single Doom (the one I mention here>>94356073), but the Council would appear many times, and we'd have "extra issues" of their adventures. Pirate Doom versus the British Navy, Ancient Greek Doom dethroning Zeus, Egyptian Doom and the killing of Anubis, and so on and so forth.

My turn.

His brother dead at the hands of the Justice League in a final assault, Clark Kent decides one day to fight for truth and justice in a world of never ending darkness. Lex Luthor is a despot who controls everything, including a cyberized Justice League, heroes the people of the world grew too reliant on to solve their problems instead of themselves. The teenaged Clark leaves Wayne Manor to go to Metropolis, a city of technological wonder, to defeat the Justice League and avenge his brother, Bruce.

Continuing the timeline from last post:

1911 - Hank and Logan go to places where there are reports of Mutants, telling their people of the Institute as a sanctuary
1912 - Namor & Hercules visit the Institute, asking for help in their quests. They bring with them strange technology from the old world as both payment and because they feel it should be kept in safe hands.
1912 (late) - The first two teams of "X-Men" head out on two separate missions.
One team is on a mission to help Namor find the truth of the "Atlantean" ruins he has discovered. This is the Blue Team, led by The Beast, investigating a High Evolutionary ship that crashed in the Atlantic in 4000 B.C.
The other team is on a mission to help Hercules find the truth of a rumor of "miracles" granted by the Olympian Gods that has turned out to be alien in nature. This is Wolverine leading the Gold Team, investigating alien tech left behind by the High Evolutionary in Ancient Greece that is stirring back to life and causing inactive X-Genes to activate.
1914 - World War I begins, and Canada lends aid to Britain and the Allies
1915 - The first public mention of the X-Men, as reported by European newspapers, as both the Blue and Gold Teams join the Allies on the Western Front. This is the first time members of either team have seen each other in three years.
1918 - World War I ends
1919 - The first modern sighting of Apocalypse, believed to be the same Mutant from Ancient Egypt named En Sabah Nur, who was rumored to be the first Mutant. It is said that World War I woke him up.

You're a cool guy with cool ideas, and I like you. I bet you're awesome to play Dungeons & Dragons with.

Doom being Kang makes so much more sense than Reed being Kang, especially since he's now the Maker and also now always becomes the Beyonder or some such nonsense. I think you might in a few scant posts here have done better with the characters you used than the current Marvel writers have in a long while.

Yeah, considering Kang is Doom but in a Warhammer 40k "God Emperor" way, it makes much more sense for him to be his descendant. I wrote a Kang pitch a while back as well. It had him trekking through the Universe and conquering galaxies before starting a Multiversal Empire. He'd have a bunch of AIs modeled after Alexander, Napoleon, Attila and others (Doom & Red Skull from the Marvel universe, maybe a Lex Luthor homage) as his "Inner Council"/Advisors.

Continued again:

1919-35 - A variety of missions with new members on both the Blue Team and the Gold Team. Re-tellings of some classic stories with some new twists. The Institution continues to grow and grow, both in size and in number of residents/students. Multiple tussles are had with Apocalypse as he tries to assemble his Four Horsemen and go to war with everyone.
1933 - Magnus Lensherr born in Poland (Half-Latverian Romani/Half-Polish Jew in this canon)
1936 - Massive damage done to the Institute (and several casualties taken) by Apocalypse and his followers, and it all has to be rebuilt, which shelves any missions for a few years.
1939 - World War II Begins; Canada is involved on the Allied side from nearly the start and sends the newly-formed Department H, which Logan has left to work with
1942 - Magnus sent to Auschwitz

NOTES:
Warbird should probably die during WWI, and be the first casualty the X-Men ever suffer.

I loved "The Further Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix" and want to keep most of it canon, although Apocalypse wouldn't wake up until a tad later. I have no idea where to put Jean on the timeline, but I think I like her as being born in the same time period as En Sabah Nur, and that she is the most powerful Manipulator. I also like the idea of the Summers family going all the way back to Ancient Egypt, and giving a sort of "The Mummy" vibe to the romance of Scott and Jean. I prefer Jean to ultimately be a villain who sometimes sides with the good guys, and more of a force of nature than anything else. She IS the Phoenix.

>>The Legion of Dooms
>I love the idea, and I really dig the heavy use of A.I. as advisors and minions. How would you use Kristoff Von Doom?

Well, the Legion of Dooms would bein the Doom book, whereas the AIs would be in the Kang book. Some ideas I have are:

>Council of Dooms

They would each have their respective goals in their native universe, but they'd be part of a Multiversal "Peace Keeping" Force. They would never interfere with another Doom's plans, and wouldn't cross to anothet AUunless its native Doom was gone. Their "Prime Directive" would be to help each Doom "ascend". Villain, Hero, whatever, they would turn Victor into DOOM. If there was a Victor who was content with a simple life, he'dbe either ordered to go through the Ordeal of Doom or perish, for having tainted the name.

>AIs
They'd be some of the best millitary mins in our history, plus a few OCs. Considering Kang is from the 40th century,it stands to reason that there would've been other conquerors between our time and his.

Their function would be to assist Kang and act as advisors. They'd get on each others' throats because of their different strategies, but they'd be humble servants of Kang (programmed that way).

Kang himself would be a man who's in it simply for the glory and the sport. He doesn't take any joy indestroying planets or commiting genocide, but eh, that's the job. Immortus would be Kang from down the line, acting as a Universal "Sorcerer Supreme" and "Time-Keeper".

>Kristoff
Doom would shag his childhood friend Valeria before going away for College. Upon returning to Latveria and becoming King, he'd track her down and find out he has a son. She'd try to blackmail him, but he'd strangle her in a fit of rage and take Kristoff back to the palace. Basically the same as in 616 but he's his biological son.

Also, New Mutants (Series One) is my favorite comic book ever, and if you take it as a period piece set in the early 1980's it needs only minor tweaks to fit into my version of canon.

The timeline, continued yet again:
1931 - Namor hears rumors of and later finds an aquatic city that is not, in fact, Atlantis, but is populated by Mutants descended from Atlantean refugees, and he stays there to learn of his people for years
1940 - The X-Men join WWII
Blue Team is still led by The Beast at this point in history
Gold Team is led by Hercules in Wolverine's absence
Xavier has gone with to coordinate the two teams
1941 - America enters WWII, also sends the Howling Commandos led by Nick Fury (Classic Flavor)
1942 - Namor returns to the Institute, finds most of his friends are gone to war and that there is mail for him, and he heads home to Maine to get some things his family has left behind for him as the last of his know relatives from that family have died fighting for the Allies in WWII
1942 - America sends Captain America, Bucky Barnes, and The Human Torch (Hammond) to join the Howling Commandos on the battlefield as The Invaders and inspire the troops, and also to not be upstaged by news reports of the X-Men or Department H's flagship team Alpha Flight. Namor goes with and fights alongside the Invaders, but is actually there looking for the X-Men, especially Wolverine, as nobody has heard from or seen him in a few years.
1944 - Magnus's family is murdered at Auschwitz. He is then taken to a specialized Concentration Camp designed to study, combat/replicate the powers of, and then kill Mutants, known as Camp Mastermold by some. He meets Logan here. More notes on this in the next post I make.
1945 - WWII ends in Allied victory

On Camp Mastermold:
Hydra, the splinter-group of Nazis led by Baron Von Strucker, Helmut Zemo, Amahl Farouk, and Johann Schmidtt, started this camp to study Mutants and their powers. Schmidtt insisted on attempting to replicate the powers of several mutants that they had captured fighting for the Allied Canadians (several members of Alpha Flight, including Wolverine). His body is hideous now, but virtually-unkillable and super-strong as a result of this experiment, and he was given the code name The Red Skull. They tested Adamantium infusion on Logan first, and when successful, replicated the experiment on Schmidtt. Logan went berserk at the end of the experiment when Farouk tried to make Magnus destroy him, and fled into the Polish wilderness, killing Nazis and Hydra Purifiers left and right until being found by Xavier and Magnus. Farouk took command of Logan briefly, and just before being driven out by Xavier, stabbed the Professor through his spine, paralyzing him from the waist down. Xavier learned of Camp Mastermold from Logan's damaged mind, revealing its location, and it was obliterated by a group effort between the Howling Commandos, the Invaders, Department H and Alpha Flight, and both the Blue and Gold Teams of the X-Men in early 1945. Unfortunately, most of Hydra high command escaped, taking their research (as well as the mental essence of Farouk, A.K.A. The Shadow King, inside of their subconscious minds) with them to later use for the Sentinel program.

More Timeline stuff:
1945 - Captain America and Bucky disappear for different reasons. Human Torch is decommissioned. Namor returns to the Institute with the X-Men, along with an injured Xavier, as well as Logan, Magnus, and most of the refugees from Camp Mastermold.
1946-47 - The X-Men lick their wounds, house refugees, and recover from WWII.

Posting a re-imaging of a team rather than a character, but I have a feeling that /co/ will like this one.

After the defeat of Onslaught, Charles Xavier was arrested and the government implemented anti-mutant policies. While these policies only lasted for a few weeks until their architect, Bastion was arrested, the effects that they had on the mutant community was huge. Jean Grey was apparently killed which appeared to be the straw which broke the camel's back for the X-Men.

Many members of the main X-Men team left. In fact, the only ones which remained were Gambit, Rogue, Cyclops, Psylocke, Storm and Beast. Those who didn't wander the Earth joined the X-Force, which now due to the death of Xavier, engaged in more proactive measures against anti-mutant groups and individuals. X-Factor meanwhile has become a team which while heroic finds themselves becoming a tool for the government and corporations.

What was left of the X-Men still protect a world that hates and fears them. However, it is a team which is being held together by the sheer willpower of the joint leadership of Storm and Cyclops.

At their wit's end, the two decide that their time is nearing it's end. However, as the team examines the world around them, they realize should they leave, there will be no one who truly carries on the dream which they all fought for. Which many of them died for.

With that thought in mind, the X-Men accept one last class of students into their school. A team of misfits and outcasts from across the world. Just like what Charles assembled all those years ago. However, this team is going to be more than just a replacement to an age that is long gone. No, this team is going to be something better. This will be the team which decides the fate of mutants and humans alike. They are the New X-Men and they will save the world.

"Adam" (The only name he can remember) awakens in a blasted pit within a scorched, snowy forests. Naked, shivering, and covered in burns in the shape of chains and marks upon his skin that he cannot read, Adam wanders the snowy wastes, beset by beasts, the undead, and even nature itself. After harrowing weeks of desperate survival and near constant danger, the man stumbles upon a city, the first sign of civilization he had seen.

>The city is Novgorod, Russia. The Year, 1908. Thrust into this world without memory or knowledge of his surroundings, the man is taken in by kindly farmers at the edge of the city. Cast into chaos and brimming civil war, Russia has turned into a hive of crime and villainy. These revelations are brought to him by his caretakers, White Russians, loyalists to the murdered Tsar.

>Drawn to the Orthodox Church, Adam discovers his own sense of morality, a black and white adherence to justice and good. When his family is killed by Communists, Adam is consumed by flame, chains forming a charred aegis about his skeletal frame, and at his hand lay a scythe, at his back, great wings of smoke and fire. Adam sees this as his divine calling and by day, lives as grave digger and mechanic Adam Ogennyj, but at night he takes to his motorbike, hunting down criminals and communists, as well as super natural threats that are appearing in greater numbers

>Arthur was an infant when he was discovered by a crew of a trading ship in late 19th century. He was adopted by one of the crew member and his wife and raised on an island. He could breathe and survive underwater and always had deep connections to aquatic creatures, especially an octopus who he names Topo. He begins working on ships at a very young age. On a journey, he meets a sharp witted nameless sea farer; A mix between Corto Maltese and Constantine, whom the crew discovers on an abandoned liferaft, and claims he was a ship captain caught in mutiny. He's revealed to be a pirate and about to be executed once they reach the land. He knows about Arthur's powers and is willing to reveal the secret behind them only if he's saved from being executed. Finally, Arthur gives in and escapes with him on the quest across the seven seas to find Atlantis, with the great War going on in the backdrop. Their crew includes of a now infamous and broke scientist who has been publicly decried for his claims about Atlantis, along with Topo and few others they meet on the road.

>On a revolutionary journey to explore the moons of Saturn, four astronauts were caught in a freak radiation storm that granted them amazing powers and stranded them in distance space. With only a friendly alien named KORI as their guide, THE TITANS struggle to survive in a hostile galaxy lightyears away from home.

>THE TITANS:

>HANK HENSHAW/CYBORG: The Titans' leader and scientific expert. He has powers over technology and can control magnetic fields, but residual radiation from the accident that granted his powers is slowly causing his body to deteriorate. Hank Henshaw is dedicated to returning his crew back to Earth before he expires.

>RACHEL HENSHAW/RAVEN: The ship's medical doctor. Her powers transformed her into a psychic being composed of living shadows and emotions that can be utilized against others. Every day, she loses more and more of the woman she was. It comes and goes. At the worst times, she forgets her marriage to Hank and loses her material form.

>GARFIELD LOGAN/CHANGELING: The least effected emotionally was Garfield, the ship's engineer. Physically, his skin was dyed green and he can change into any animal he can think of, aliens included. He's also the group's optimist, seeing the group's accident as an opportunity to explore where no man has explored before.

>REX MASON/ELEMENT MAN: The pilot of their spacecraft was Rex Mason. The cosmic forces transmuted his body into a conglomerate of solid elements that can shift and change at will. He's hardly recognizable as human, and fears that his fiance will reject him for the monster he's become if they ever reach home.

>KORIAND'R (KORI): A humanoid alien that the Titans encountered early on their journey through space. Though she hasn't told them much about herself or her background, Kori agreed to act as the Titans' navigator after they rescued her from the sinister Psions. She can fly and project ultraviolet laser beams from her body.

Eh, might as well post some of my Council of Doom members:

>Demon Doom
The guy with the horns would be Demon Doom. This one gave himself fully to the Dark Arts and went on a hunt of Sorcerers. He "ate" their life essence, he decimated their corpses, he slaughtered their pupils, etc, etc. He's essentially Sorcerer Supreme,but he grew so powerful after such a feast (and other,more interesting, adventures) that the title is simply beneath him. The most evil of Dooms that most dislike.

>Ultimate Doom
This one would be a revamp of Ultimate Doom. Sameorigin as in 1610, but noGoat-Legs or him being part of the experiment. He'd leave Baxter before it took place, and return home when news of his father's death hit. He'd have no reason to hate the F4 in this version, and he'd simply be an eccentric ruler... who's secretly doing his own experiments with occult forces and manipulates the markets. The mask would be ceremonial.

>Pirate Doom
A Doom from the Golden Age of Piracy. A fearsome Captain who rose to the position through sheer will and determination. After a run-in with a witch, he was marked, and was forced to wear his fearsome mask. He eventually became a Davy Jones-esque creature, tasked with preserving the dead.

>Viking Doom
A warrior so fierce that he was nicknamed "Doom" (in the... Nordic tongue...). He eventually rose to the rank of King, and through tampering with the occult manages to live on thanks to the Asgardians' blessings.

>Ancient Greek Doom
A warrior and philosopher from Athens that was at the forefront of the war against the Olympians. He managed to dethrone Zeus and steal his power, but he remains forever marked, hiding behind a crude mask.

>Roman/Byzantine Doom
A Roman peasant who managed through trickery and alchemy to eventually become a Byzantine Emperor, after the fall of Rome. His experiments cost him, and so he wore the mask to keep the populace from seeing his scarred and goulish face.

>The origin: According to old Atlantis mythology, Atlantis was punished by the gods. Recent Atlantis is divided into several territories and is far from it's golden days. According to a prophecy, a blonde haired heir would reunite Atlantis and bring it to it's glory days. But the Gods still fearing Atlantis' rise, feed propaganda to the other rulers regarding a blonde haired baby who is about to be born to Atlanna and vest control of their states from them. The other rulers get a pregnant Atlanna to be banished, by spreading a rumor that she has eloped with a surface dweller, and place the other heir Orm on the throne. As Atlanna is dying, she asks Poseidon to protect her baby. Poseidon is the only God protecting Arthur in his quest to find Atlantis, while the other Gods make sure that Atlantis remains hidden from Arthur.

>Black Manta: Black Manta, finally tired of getting outsmarted by Aquaman, travels to Olympus and prays to Gods to let him take his revenge on Aquaman. But Zeus says that he can only get his revenge on Aquaman in his reincarnated form. Black Manta, eager for his revenge, kills himself on the spot. In his reincarnated form, Black Manta is a family man, but he leaves his wife and kids once he sees Aquaman. He doesn't know why he hates Aquaman, but he still hates Aquaman to the core. This makes Manta's origin vague and mysterious, rather than the specific origin certain writers have tried to push. On the way, certain red herrings are seen about Black Manta. We're shown a black rights leader as an antagonist, a black guy whose father Aquaman kills, an autistic kid who Aquaman fails to save, but we're not shown who goes on to be Black Manta.

In the beginning it's just wolves and the occasional bear. The survival act would be nearly silent, if I were a writer for it the book would be almost completely without dialogue from Adam, and the majority of story telling throughout would be told visually. As his trek reaches climax he is beset by creatures such as vampires, voydanoy, ghosts, fae, all the while a shadow hunts him in the distance, keeping him on the move. The supernatural elements deescelate as he reaches Veliky Novgorod

Once he reaches Novgorod, his adversaries are ruffians, murderers, and Communist enforcement. Here Adam developes a personality, stoic, quiet, and often abrasive, but not without a wry humour and an earnest, almost childlike helpful nature. Novgorod slowly shows it's dark underbelly, and beneath it lay the supernatural. Most of the villains from Marvel would be unchanged, but I would utilize Russian myth more than the Marvel mythos. For example, once he begins "Ghost Riding" in earnest, his enemies in Novgorod, St. Petersburg, and Moscow give him the moniker "Kochei" or the Deathless. Now this pleases Kochei the Deathless none, and be begins to hunt down this imposter. However their relationship morphs into a bizarre rivalry, neither able to kill the other, and both wanting to wipe away the Communists. Rasputin would feed into it heavily as another ally of convenience, using Adam as little more than a pawn from the shadows. Pic related would play a huge influence

Once he is figures out who, and what he is, powers such as Baba Yaga, Mephisto, Zadkiel, Blackheart, and Metatron would begin to appear, but very few of these would be physical conflicts (perhaps save for Blackheart) but instead arguments on morality and ethics, war and peace, as well as games of wit and skill in a very biblical or fairy tale fashion. This keeps Adam from becoming too overpowered and shows he's more than a beat stick.

Once the Great War breaks out, or he begins to travel abroad, I was thinking he could interact with Logan Howlett, Thor, perhaps even the Iron Fist of the time, or even Proto-Hydra, but I would much prefer to keep things more subtle and borrow less from the conventional marvel world. Mignola's works are a huge influence on most stuff I do.

>>94403951
Thanks anon. I almost feel compelled to try and do something with the idea.

>>94407718
That I'm not sure about. I'd want to keep things generally toned down for the most part, however due to the nature of his character it would make a lot of sense that he would be able to do so.

When he first "Ghost Riders out" like the Hulk, in reaction to his care takers being slaughtered, he is completely inhuman, an amalgam of fire and a twisting lattice of bone and iron creating a sinister aspect. The chains wrap about his form like restraints, almost like a straight jacket, and trail off to some unseeable point, obscured by fire and smoke. His scythe is completely otherworldly, a mastercrafted weapon, both a harvesters tool and a cleaning, reaping razor. It should be noted that this form is inaccessible to Adam for a long time, and it is clear that the chains that appear around him are restraints, and there is a power beyond even that. When he takes up administering justice, he initially uses a scythe, but without the power of his ghost rider form as he would be unsure how to recreate it, but finds that it's an inefficient weapon, and instead uses an Obrez and a spiked club (think trench club). When he finally is able to become the Ghost Rider (in a more toned down fire skeleton form) reliably he uses the club as a weight on his chains, that simply wrap around his forearms and ankles.

After witnessing the atrocities of mankind, and for seeing the Great War, and all the future wars that will make it small in comparison, Samael decides that the best way to save God's creation is to eliminate Humanity, the most dangerous creatures in Creation. Many angels, and other astral beings agree with this sentiment and rally to his side to invade Earth. Others see this as rash, or have their own plans with humans. Thus begins a civil war in Heaven, Hell, and throughout the beyond. The Archangels strike down at Samael, carrying with them the Lord's decree. His wings and body are bound by chain, his scythe taken, and his spirit set ablaze and cast to Earth. Before his exile from Heaven, he is given a way out. If he can find Adam, the original man, and slay him for the Original Sin, he will regain his wings and be allowed to purge the world. Should he fail he will live as a mortal and die with the creatures he despised upon Earth.

This of course is little more than a lesson, as Adam and Eve are long dead, their souls taken by Azrael, a lesser Angel of Death, who will assume Samael's duties. The purpose of the exile is to teach Samael compassion, and justice that is not cold and unfeeling, but filled with love and wrath, for the Lord's creations and his enemies. This quest will reforge Samael, and teach him what it means to be human, and to be humble. He will learn that the wicked amongst them must be punished, so the just may live free, and the strong must be humbled, so the weak can too find their strength.

When Samael travels to America after the Great War, following the stink of unholy evil to the shrouded mists of New England and the Great West, he joins circuses and minstrel shows to move about the country, taking the stage persona of Johnny Blaze, the Man Without Fear, acrobat, skilled motorist, and knife thrower.

Final excerpt from the Diary of Arthur Curry,

"March 1st, 1912--

I fear a doom has come for the world of men. It may be too late to stop it. It is already too late for this poor soul.

The dreams have started again. They're much clearer now, and I find myself remembering much more when I wake-- though I would count it as a mercy if I did not. I am deep in the blue-green bowels of the ocean, and the Voice is there with me. It speaks to me, calling me Or'rn and in the dream I know with alarming certainty that this is my rightful name. That it has always been my name. Though I am so deep below the surface that no light could possibly pierce to illuminate, I am granted some otherworldly sight to make my way. I see the ruins of the Great City, walk its barnacle-crusted streets, its perverse alien architecture giving me an unpleasant sensation of vertigo even when I stand still. The Voice of the Dweller calls to me, and I follow it down into the City's central Palace, a mammoth facade massive beyond the works of human hands. I stand before its magnificence and the Voice speaks once more, only now it comes from within me, it is my own voice speaking!

'The age of Humans is at an end. As it was in days of old, the seas will rise up once again to drown the land, and the Ancient Old Ones will wake from their sleep of watery eons!'

My mouth twists itself into a gruesome smile around hundreds of needle-sharp teeth and I realize that I have far too many mouths. Despite this, I smile-- full of a wild maddening joy, because for the first time in my life, I will soon be among my own kind."

The year is 1927,Chicago. These are the years of prohibition,Al Capone,substantial corruption in the police & government. Almost everyone is in a gang,in the take,or owes them money.

After a politician attempts to rape her,a secretary,Natasha Romanoff leaves her homeland Russia,moves to Chicago & marries who she finds out to be a two bit gangster wannabe. He routinely beats her & her child. One day,Romanoff stands up to her husband by telling him off. In a fit of rage,he kills her child. She vows never to take any half measures in dealing with violent,criminal scum, because people like her son get hurt.

She becomes the Black Widow, a vigilante who infiltrates criminal organizations by marrying or become romantically entangled with their members. She gathers information about these guys-what makes them tick, where they are at certain times, what gangs they are at odds against. Basically, its espionage at the street level. She uses the information to ignite gang wars, to help the local authorities, and random men, women and especially children who are victims to gangland and other criminal violence.

She rarely uses physical violence. Shes not a trained spy or a strong fighter. When she does have to take action herself-her weapon of choice is a silver plated tommy gun she calls "The Black Widows Bite" along the way-and after several botched missions, resulting in her getting beaten, mauled, nearly raped she eventually starts to study explosives as well.

A mob body guard that was hired to protect her falls in love with her, and joins her crusade. Hes her sidekick, and the muscle of the two. He trains her to fight, and how to kill more efficiently. He asks her to stop marrying criminals so she can get close and kill them, but she declines saying her work is too important. He eventually becomes one of her nemesis

there I spent like 30 minutes and came up with a more interesting, more gritty and intense female character than actual SJW marvel can.

>>94412173
I'd read it anon. Would her nemesis be a Red Guardian or Bucky analogue?

Jason Blood is an intelligent but solitary young man, Jason is currently a student at Bludhaven University where he studies medieval literature.
He has very little memory of his youth, he distinctly remembers being sent from Gotham to Bludhaven at the age of six to live with his uncle Sebastian Blood.
This oppressive upbringing shaped much of Jason's personality and his relationship with others, particularly his uncle and any other religious figures who are often viewed with much animosity.

Once he turned eighteen Jason moved away from his uncle but was unable to leave Bludhaven and made himself content to continue his education at the local university. For some time life grew peaceful for Jason, that is until his abduction by the members of the Sanguine Church. What should have been his murder as a human sacrifice turned into something much worse as he would find.

Jason attributed his fractured memories of the ritual and the Voice in his head as symptoms of madness which would have been a mercy when finally meets Etrigan, and gains some insight into what happened to him. After being convinced that he is not crazy, Jason begins to investigate how he could get rid of Etrigan and in doing so meets some of the people who will play major parts in the coming conflict. When the Sanguine Church reveals its intent to draw Etrigan out of Jason through its obscene rituals, the pair form a pact of self-preservation and take the fight to the Church.

As the series progresses, Jason will become an expert in the occult and learn more about the true nature of the Church and its relation to Bludhaven. His relationships with his friends will grow more complex as he becomes more entwined with Etrigan and the occult.

>>94412440
Thanks, I hadnt really thought of it, but it would make sense for him to be a Red Guardian analogue. It could be the thing that connects the two of them in the first place, he'd be a Russian mob enforcer who escaped Russia for political asylum but could never rise in the ranks because hes Russian. He turns on his employers because of that and his love for Natasha.

The politician who tried to rape Natasha would eventually offer to grant him safe return to Russia and his family. That, combined with Natasha turning him down, compels him to turn on her.

What do you think?

>The Industrial Iron Man
Tony Stark is the head of Stark Industries, one of the worlds largest producers of consumer software and medical technology.
What the public doesn't know is that Stark Industries is one of the US Military's largest producers of high-tech weaponry in the form of UAV drones.

This information is leaked by a corporate saboteur know as GHOST, whose employers also orchestrate an explosion in Tony's labs.
Tony barely survives but is confined to a specialized room that maintains the bio-synthetic "neural net" that keeps his brain alive and well after the damage caused by the explosion.

Tony Stark is now the "Man in the Glass Tower" and his former partner has lead a hostile takeover of Stark Industries and partnered with Roxxon Inc.

With only his private Stark-Tech company left, Tony changes his image as a philanthropist based out of Silicon Valley.

Using the UAV technology created by his former company, Tony creates the heroic identity of IRON MAN as a non-lethal peace keeping drone.

But the road to hell is paved with good intentions, as this new hero sparks a revolution in weapons technology.

This is a series focusing on the ever present shadow of technology on society, the use of UAVs in a war theater, and corporate/industrial underhandedness.
>>
>>94413194
Some notes:
- The "former partner" mentioned is obviously Obadiah Stane.
- The neural net maintains his brain's health and allows him to function normally but the technology is still young and keeps him confined to his Stark-Tech (StarkTek) headquarters. This replaces the arc reactor in his chest for something closer to the nanomachine technologies seen in later versions of Iron man.
- IronMan is a UAV drone, I think it makes more sense than armor.
- The shadowy company that hired GHOST and attempted to assassinate Tony is not Roxxon Inc. They are a separate entity.

>Falcon: Aces High
Son of a preacher man, Samuel Wilson went to the Air Force hoping to get away from the rough-and-tumble streets of Harlem.
However being a pilot during the Second World War was far less safe than he could imagine.

While he was an excellent pilot, Wilson's higher ups would never allow him to fly missions outside of what they deemed “appropriate” for a Tuskegee Airman.
That is until Captain Steve Rogers sees Wilson's bravery first hand when a dog fight breaks out overhead during an aerial attack on the Captain's squad and Wilson survives a mid-air crash to take out the mechanical monstrosity sent by Red Skull and Armin Zola to kill the Captain.

Rogers extends an offer for Wilson to join the Invaders, a collection of Allied super soldiers.

Now under the call sign of FALCON, Wilson joins the likes of Captain America, Agent Barnes, Union Jack, the Human Torch, and the Blonde Phantom in their war against the Axis powers.

TANGENT COMICS: MARVEL EDITION

This Marvel Universe is a retro-futuristic take on today, allowing for anything from regular cape tales to science fiction to street level pulp action.

Earth's Mightiest Heroes are the Sentinels, a global task force that travels the world fighting crime and wronging rights. They don't always get along with each other, but they're all on the same team because they all have a genuine passion for making the world a better place.

The Sentinels:

John Jameson/War Machine: A New York beat cop that was bonded to an alien nanite swarm named Ultron. He can 'eat' technology to temporarily gain it's functions and can change into a biomechanical combat form as War Machine.

Emma Frost/Frostbite: The spoiled daughter of retired hero Iceman, who only became a hero so that her father wouldn't cut off her spending money. She later decided she liked being an beloved celebrity and (much later) a real hero.

Colossus: A bronze statue brought to life by a wizard named Lykos. Due to his first exposure to human culture being Italian sword-and-sandal films, the Colossus decided to fight evil like the legendary hero, Hercules. He's very boisterous and mostly communicates through shouting.

The Black Cat: An outcast member of the Black Panthers, a tribe of cat people that have existed in the shadows of mankind. He was cursed at birth, causing bad things to happen wherever he went. As an adult, he learned to weaponize his curse so he could jinx supervillains' plans.

That's all I have so far. I wanted to have at least 5 members, but I couldn't think of anything. Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?

I'm the Doom/Strange/Black Knight anon, and I already know a way to connect my stuff. Green Goblin, LoveHulk, Alien Gods & GR could also fit. Dunno about the rest. TBQH, I always felt the X-Men worked better in their own U, so IDRK... Maybe go with the X-Anon's Timeline idea, have the world be overrun by the Nazis like in the MAITHC anon's idea, and put Black Widow anon's idea in that world.

I'll keep an eye out for them, anon.
>>
>>94383320
>>94383764
I've got a bit of free time, so might as well add some more stuff to this:

>The Hood
He's like Agent 47 from hitman. If Agent 47 wore a bright red cloak with silver clasps, had two silver hanguns hanging from his Western-Themed Belt and could turn into a demon. In reality he's Cain, the first murderer, and is thus cursed to roam the land and add souls to Hell's Army. Kinda like Spawn, but legitimately evil.

>Mother of Demons
Lilith. Shiklah It's the same name. Daughter of Satan. Daughter of Dracula. What's the difference? Witch, Succubus or Hellspawn. Who knows, really? In reality she's a spirit from Hell, the Biblical Lilith, who possesed Dracula's daughter when she was a small child. Ever since she's been working to bring on Armaggedon.

>Kalluu
Evil Sorcerer from the Pirate Times. He was screwed over by Strange's ancestor and sealed away in a cave, for the men feared of his mad ambition and powers. He has a hard-on for Strange and only wishes to cause him misery and pain.

>Hellstrom Siblings
The Siblings from Hell, they engage in sexual acts and roam the world, preaching wickedness and extreme hedonism. So kinda like those Preachers-on-the-Road, just with siblings who fuck each other.

>Chthon
The One true Satan. Before Samael's fall, he was there, the opposite of God. All the evil, twisted shit every single being in the Universe has done, has been his delight. Whereas Lucifer is a tragic figure, Chthon is just darkness and hate. Nothing more, nothing less. He's "le ebin EdGY Joker" but without the fun or jokes. He's a Goreporn-tier villain.

>Namor
King of Atlantis, Protector of the Seas, and the one thing keeping the Eldritch Horrors that reside in the deep at bay. His kingdom is now a bunch of ruins, and he's a long-haired, bearded guy in rugged but still regal armor. He's been alive since the Roman times, has spend a life as an adventurer, gladiator, and King. Now he's just a relic with a job...

I'm also working on some more.
>>
>>94422479
>Doctor Voodoo
On one hand I want him to be Strange's laid-back Sorcerer friend who never loses his hope, but one the other I wanna genderbend him into a hawt black goddess who's fuckbuddies with Strange. Decisions, decisions, decisions... Maybe I can make his ancestor a Voodoo Pirate Witch and swap Jericho's brother's spirit with her? We'll see.

>Scarlet Witch
The one being in the universe engineered for Chthon. She's a French Artist Wonderchild, rich as hell to boot, but unaware of her destiny. She studies under Strange after Chthon comes gunning for her, in the from of her deceased twin, Pietro.

I have some more ideas apart from revamping old foes. Maybe an Illuminati-like group linked to HYDRA & the Thule Society, spearheaded by Morgana Le Fay posing as Madame Hydra. We'll see.
>>
>>94384306
I'd love a line of double Dickbats, too.

Goblin-Anon again...
I'm not good at writing, just have good plott ideas from time to time.

Should probably ask some writefags to do this for me.
>>
>>94422925
I'm not a good writer either anon, but it's important to write your own story. It's yours, and it's you who should do it. At the end of the day, it's a way to escape reality, chill and put some words there. Hell, I'm imagining PirateStrange butt-fucking Female Doc Voodoo. Just chill and let your imagination and hidden pervert go wild. If you give it to someone else, you'll regret it.
>>
>>94423023
Well, your right
I'm going to write it down
Wish me luck!

>Now you have to reinvent their origin story. You can change whatever you want, within logical parameters. For example,you have Murdock gain cyber-implants and become Daredevil, but you can't make him a SHIELD Agent, give him implants, ditch the lawyer-stuff and costume, because then the only thing that resembles DD is the name.
Okay that's not so hard....

>But here's the catch/swerve to make things interesting:
Uh oh.

>You also have to change the setting/time period/universe. Having Peter be the son of AIM Agents who's also black and gay is "new" and all,but hardly a revamp. So why not put him in a futuristic world, or turn him into a Spider-Monster in a fantasy land? That kinda stuff.
Mrgrowl.... damn you.

Fine. I'll be following certain leads from the Young Justice cartoon.

Bart is the grandson of Malcolm Thrawne, Barry Allen's twin brother. In the future 30+ years in the future the Reach has conquered Earth and Iris Allen has recruited the kid as a surrogate grandson, sending him back to the present-day to thwart the Reach invasion.
The time travel process is bumpy and Bart makes a hash of things. He tries to put things right with the heroes of this era by charging into battle against the villain Jenny Fractal -- only to be batted aside... and further back in time.
Bart is now in the Old West. And he's stuck there. He ends up apprenticed to the superhero Windrunner (later known as Max Mercury) while they try to put things 'right' in regards to Bart's own fractured knowledge of what went wrong -- efforts which cause them to run afoul of "Joe Rum" (Djo-Rum) the Jade Beetle which was the partner of Kaji-Da when sent to Earth 7000 years ago and is still active and causing trouble.
Max eventually manages to fix Bart's speed to the point he can run ahead and skip forward to the present day -- but the effect is temporary so he keeps bouncing back and forth between the present and the old West, where he makes his home.

Howdy, y'all. X-Men-Guy reporting in. I've been having a busy day, but I'm free for a while. I updated the timeline and streamlined it all together while doing other, more-responsible crap all day.

Thanks for keeping the thread alive for me, friendos! This is going to be a long post of the timeline and story as I have it thus-far, and is going to take multiple posts. I hope that you all enjoy it.

>>94401754
Timeline posts (condensed/patched together):

~4,050 B.C. - En Sabah Nur, the first and most-powerful Mutant, is born/created by the High Evolutionary. He later becomes a great leader of a tribe of proto-Mutants known as the Akkaba in Egypt by taking over an abandoned High Evolutionary ship buried under what would later be known as Cairo that he instinctively finds and understands, and re-names himself Apocalypse. He continues down that bloodline as the most powerful Apocalyptian (and the source of their namesake). Every 666.5 years, he slumbers in his ship deep under the surface of the Earth for 333.5 years to refresh his physical form and process data through his machines, although he can manifest through and control his descendants (with the exception of the Phoenix line).

~3,400 B.C. - A woman named Madelyne, more-often known as "The Daughter of Apocalypse," is born. Her mother is an early example of an Omega Mutant, and she is an early example of a Hybrid Mutant. Unlike many Hybrid Mutants, she is not sterile, and she has a long line of descendants to manifest through and live on inside of.

~3,333-3,000 B.C. - "The Daugher of Apocalypse's" reign of terror while her father slumbered, burning much of Northern Africa and the Middle East as she went through body after body and life after life, earned her the name "The Phoenix," or "Eanqa'" in Arabic.

~3,000 B.C. - Apocalypse seals The Phoenix away to be dealt with later in a coccoon made of High Evolutionary technology beneath the Nile River in what would later be Cairo, Egypt.

~200 B.C. - Hercules, a powerful Beast Mutant, is born somewhere in Greece. His powers differ from other Beast Mutants in that his lifespan is still being measured and he is virtually-unkillable.

Back then, your boy used to be a Hitman. One of the gosh-darned best, y'know? Want'im wacked in the head and thrown to the sharks? Done. Want'im wacked while he's fucking his mistress? Done. Hell, you even want him to get a toothpick in the urethra while he's pissing? Done and done.

But y'see, that was before 'em thugs came looking. Well, technically they're the world police or someshit, but fuck it. Point is, they got me busted. Real darn good. I mean hell son, my kill count was in the un-calculable-s! I was on fucking fire! Anyway, either take the deal, or don't, that was the ultimatum. And I'm no stupid little shit.

So, here I am, wearing these ridiculous duds and playing hero... by killing people... just for the guys in suits instead of mob bosses... Y'know, it seems to me things are not that different if you think about it...

AU where Hawkeye is actually Bullseye and is working for SHIELD. He fucks bitches, caps fuckers and remains a bastard.

~760 A.D. - The Knights of the Round Table, later revealed to be the Inhuman Royal Family, disappear mysteriously while out crusading for the Holy Grail, later said to be something called the Terrigen Chalice.

1799 - Namor McKenzie is born in a small Maine fishing community to poor fisher parents.
Nathaniel Essex, a direct descendant of Apocalypse, is born to wealthy doctor parents in London, England.

1819 - Namor's parents tell him the truth about his origins: That his mother is a Beast Mutant who became entangled in his father's fishing net one fateful day, and that upon meeting they fell in love.

1820-23 - Namor leaves his home in Maine, vowing to return someday, and quests to find Atlantis. He theorizes that there must be more people like him and his mother somewhere out there in the world's oceans, and he pursues every lead that he can find, sometimes by illegal means.

1823 - Namor makes headlines after being distracted from his quest long enough to sink a number of whaling ships in the Atlantic, causing a number of casualties.

1823 (late) - Hercules, reading the newspaper over a between-adventures breakfast one morning, decides that he likes Namor's style.

1824 - Hercules joins forces with Namor, and the two of them fight evil, as well as bed everything and everyone, together as a duo. (Namor and Hercules are both bisexual in this canon.)

1824-1912 - The marvellous adventures of Namor and Hercules take them 'round the world!

1827 - Namor's mother dies mysteriously, despite being a Beast Mutant. Namor's father becomes a drunk immediately after her death, and commits suicide not long after that. Namor was away adventuring with Hercules, and only found out that they had died when he returned years later.

1831 - Namor returns home, accompanied by Hercules, only to find that his paternal uncle is living in his childhood home now and his parents are dead. He does not deal with things well, taking out his aggressions on anyone stupid enough to be in his way for a number of years, even Hercules.

1835 - Namor and Hercules make nice-nice, and resume their fun adventures.

1856 - Henry "Hank" McCoy is born in Alberta, Canada to wealthy land and lumber baron parents. His Mutations are seen as a gross deformity by his father, but his mother loves him and dotes on him anyways. Mister McCoy would do anything to keep his beloved wife happy, so they keep the baby Hank, and never let anyone who is not emplyed inside their Estate ever see him or hear of him.

1863 - James Howlett (later known as Logan) is born in Alberta, Canada. The entirety of the comic book "Origin" remains canon, with the minor tweak that Dog Logan is truly, actually Victor Creed/Sabretooth later rather than a different character, and he is also definitely Wolverine's half-brother.

1870 - A woman in France gives birth to a mysterious baby with black eyes. She has no husband, and does not remember laying with a man. She names her miracle baby Remy. Mister Sinister keeps tabs on his son for the rest of his life, sometimes through his own eyes.

1877 - Charles Francis Xavier is born in Scotland, the son of wealthy industrialists.

1880 - Hank convinces his parents to let him leave the McCoy Estate, on his father's condition that he is now disowned from the family as well as their fortune and properties, as his "conditions" being known would shame them. He never sees them again, at his father's insistence, and is not even able to attend his parents' funerals. His mother never stops missing him.

1881 - Hank and Logan meet, and start their adventures together. Hank took Logan under his wing, and taught him new things to replace those he had forgotten. It would be a long road, for both of them, but they became fast friends. They connected over their mutual lack of understanding of the world around them. Hank had to teach Logan basic things like how to read, but Logan seemed to know many things beyond his years of experience about fighting and surviving. Within their first few weeks together, they became lovers. (Logan and Hank are both bisexual in this canon.)

1881-1899 - Hank and Logan go on adventures across Canada, and sometimes the American Northeastern Coast, seeking Mutants to help and looking for the answers to life's questions together.
"We should start a school for Mutants, teaching Reading, Writing, and the Arithmetic of Fighting!" Hank liked to joke about it in those days, but by 1899, the two young-looking Mutants had a bit of a reputation across the Canadian frontier as heroes.

1889 - Charles Xavier accepted into Cambridge University

1898 - Charles Xavier, a masterful prodigy who has degrees in Anthropology, Biology, History, Literature, and Philosophy, is accepted into the Faculty of Cambridge University as Professor of Anthropology.

1899 - Professor Xavier leaves Cambridge on grant, becoming a Professor Emeritus, and tracks down Hank and Logan in Nova Scotia after seaching for them for months. Professor Xavier asks to be a part of Hank's and Logan's dream, which has always been his own as well, and they accept him and his offer to help fund their crusade.

1901 - Ground is broken on the Xavier Institute for Mutant Research and Education somewhere secluded and far North into Canadian territory.
>>
>>94425657
1901-1911 - The Institute is under construction, with the dormitories and living quarters being finished first to accomodate the Mutants, allies, and families already living and studying there. The Drake Family, Jean Grey, the remnants of the Proudstar Tribe (Oji-Cree in this canon), Warren Worthington III, orphaned twin siblings Alex and Scott Summers, Sean and Thomas Cassidy, and Xavier's step-brother Cain Marko are among those living at the Xavier Institute.

1908-1910 - Charles Xavier takes a trip home to Scotland after receiving word of his father's death, and returns with the love of his life, Moira MacTaggart, the Mutant-researching Professor of Biology at Cambridge University who had caught his eye decades earlier. With them come the Cassidy boys, Sean and Thomas, as well as Charles's step-brother Cain Marko. Cain had approached Moira a month after his parents had died, begging that she help him figure out what to do about his cousins, Thomas and Sean, as their parents had died in an accident and they had been shipped off to their only known living relative unannounced. Cain knew that Moira was an expert on Mutants and friendly to his family, and he had nothing to his name as a step-son and an Irishman as well as a Mutant cousin whose screams woke the neighbors, and she agreed to look after them, until Charles returned and took them all to his new home in Canada.

1911 - Construction on the Institute is finished, although many Mutants and allies/families have already been living and studying there for years. Hank and Logan, guided by Charles, go to places where there are reports of Mutants, telling their people of the Institute as a sanctuary
Somewhere in a hidden location far to the North, there exists what is now a historic Canadian institution: The Xavier Institute for Mutant Research and Education. Despite the name, Hank and Logan were also heavily involved in running and publicizing the sanctuary and school.

1912 (late) - The first two teams of "X-Men" head out on two separate missions.

One team is on a mission to help Namor find the truth of the "Atlantean" ruins he has discovered. This is the Blue Team, investigating a High Evolutionary ship that crashed in the Atlantic sometime around 4,000 B.C. The Blue Team's roster is: The Beast (Leader), Namor, Mimic, Marvel Girl, Iceman, and Banshee

The other team is on a mission to help Hercules find the truth of "miracles" granted by the Olympian Gods that has turned out to be alien in nature. This is the Gold Team, investigating alien tech left behind by the High Evolutionary in Ancient Greece that is stirring back to life, causing inactive X-Genes to activate and killing those with latent Terrigenesis-compatible Inhuman genetics. The Gold Team's roster is: Wolverine (Leader), Hercules, Angel, Thunderbird, Havok, and Cyclops

Hank: "The two teams need names, and I propose that we utilize a color-coded system for reference. Blue as the Atlantic sea, and Gold like the Olympian Fleece, to reflect the nature of our two missions."
Logan: "More like blue like your beautiful eyes, and gold like my uniform on your office floor."
Then the two of them make out and have sex in Hank's office.


1913 - Thomas Cassidy accidentally activates one of the devices left behind by Namor and Hercules with Cain Marko, activating both of their latent X-Genes.

1914 - World War I begins, and Canada lends aid to Britain and the Allies
1915 - The first major public mention of the X-Men is reported by European newspapers, as both the Blue and Gold Teams join the Allies on the Western Front. This is the first time members of either team have seen each other in three years. Cyclops and Marvel Girl have missed each other, but don't immediately become involved with one-another due to The Great War going on around them. Logan and Hank have REALLY missed each other, and have a lot of catching up to do.
>>
>>94425776
1916 - Thunderbird dies in the line of duty, and is the X-Men's first casualty out in the field. A few months later, Havok is lost and presumed dead, not to be seen again for some time.

1918 - World War I ends

1918 (late) - Scott Summers and Jean Grey begin a rapid courtship that ends in marriage just two months later. Bobby tries to object to their courtship at every turn, but soon drops it completely for no apparent reason right before their wedding. At the party after Jean's and Scott's wedding, Bobby and Warren announce to their fellow X-Men that they, too, are planning to start a life together. Up until this point, Bobby had been a known womanizer and was quite-interested in Jean at times. Only Scott had known of Warren being a homosexual, as he had confided in him during the Great War while waiting to succumb to injuries that neither of them knew that his healing factor would overcome.

1919 - The first modern sighting of Apocalypse, believed to be the same Mutant from Ancient Egypt named En Sabah Nur, who was rumored to be the first Mutant. It is said that World War I woke him up earlier than he had planned. He awakens his daughter, Madelyne the Phoenix, and pushes her into marrying a confused and lost Alex Summers. Having heard of the Xavier Institute and having seen the horrors of Apocalypse, Gambit and a young street-thief he has adopted named Storm head for Canada to warn the X-Men of what is coming for them.

1919 (late) - Nathaniel "Nate" Summers is born at the Xavier Institute to Scott and Jean Summers. At the exact same moment in Cairo, Nathaniel "Nate" Summers is born to Alex and Madelyne Summers.

1919-35 - A variety of missions with new members on both the Blue Team and the Gold Team. Re-tellings of some classic stories with some new twists. The Institution continues to grow, both in size and in number of residents/students. Multiple tussles are had with Apocalypse as he tries to assemble his Four Horsemen and go to war with everyone. Hank retires from missions during long periods of this time, but stays a teacher and continues to train the younger students in the use of their powers when not out adventuring with his friends.

1931-1942 - Namor hears rumors of and later finds an aquatic city that is not, in fact, Atlantis, but is populated by Mutants descended from supposed Atlantean refugees. He stays there to learn of his people for several years.

1933 - Eric "Magnus" Lensherr is born to poor farmers in Poland. His mother is a Latverian Romani immigrant and his father is a Polish Jew. This will not bode well for them in the coming decade.

1936 - Massive damage done to the Institute and several casualties taken by Apocalypse and his followers in a huge battle, wherein he claims three of the X-Men as Horsemen, and it all has to be rebuilt, which shelves any missions for a few years. Ultimately, The Twin Phoenixes (The Flames of War), Archangel (The Wings of Death), Iceman (The Cold Clutches of Famine), and Mister Sinister (The Progress of Pestilence) can not be saved and are taken away by Apocalypse to his ship to recover from his war with the X-Men of the last fifteem years. Cyclops and Havok are also taken along as breeding stock at both of The Phoenix's and Mister Sinister's request. Apocalypse's ship departs the world, destroying Cairo, giving Mutants a worse reputation than they already had, and proving the existence of alien life to everyone in one fell swoop. Gambit and Rogue die happily together in each other's arms, having dealt a grievous wound to the supposedly-unkillable Apocalypse and finally proven their worth to the X-Men.

1936-1940 - The Xavier Institute is being rebuilt amidst a somber period of mourning.

1939 - World War II Begins; Canada is involved on the Allied side from nearly the start and sends the newly-formed Department H. Logan has been working with them for almost a year at this point, using the time away from the Xavier Institute to hide his pain and guilt over the Apocalypse disaster, and he decides to go to war with them to let out some of his rage.

1940 - The X-Men join World War II.
The Blue Team is again led by The Beast at this point in history, and consists of him, and ______.
The Gold Team is led by Hercules in Wolverine's absence, and consists of him, and _________.
Professor Xavier has gone with to coordinate the two teams. Banshee and a reformed Emma Frost are left in charge of the Institute in his and Hank's and Logan's absences.
THESE TEAMS ARE STILL UNDECIDED

1940-1945 - The Greatest Generation X

1941 - America enters WWII, also sends the Howling Commandos led by Nick Fury (Classic Flavor)

1942 (early) - Magnus and his family are sent to Auschwitz

1942 (early) - Namor returns to the Institute, finds most of his friends are gone to war and that there is mail for him, and he heads home to Maine to get some things his family has left behind for him as the last of his know relatives from that family have died fighting for the Allies in WWII

1942 - The American President sends Captain America, Bucky Barnes, and The Human Torch (Jim Hammond) to join the Howling Commandos on the battlefield as a team called The Invaders and inspire the troops, and also to not be upstaged by news reports of the X-Men or Department H's flagship team Alpha Flight. Namor weasels his way in and goes with and fights alongside The Invaders, but is actually there looking for the X-Men, especially Wolverine, as nobody has heard from or seen him in a few years since he left for Europe with Department H.

1944 - Magnus's family is murdered at Auschwitz. He is then taken to a specialized Concentration Camp designed to study, combat, and replicate the powers of, and then kill, Mutants. This Concentration Camp, headed by the splinter group of Nazis known as Hydra, is called Camp Mastermold. Magnus meets Logan here. Refer to notes on Camp Mastermold for more detailed information on both it and the years 1944-45 (I posted it in
>>94401213 , but it has undergone some revisions since then).

1945 (early) - Amahl Farouk cripples Xavier. Camp Mastermold is destroyed. Captain America and Bucky disappear for different reasons hunting down Hydra High Command. The Human Torch is decommissioned after returning home. Nick Fury is made head of a new organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D., and he takes the surviving Howling Commandos with him as his High Command and sets up an office in the American Sector of Berlin. Colossus, a Russian soldier and known Mutant who helped in several skirmishes during the war, stays with as a Russian liaison for Colonel Fury. Namor returns to the Institute with the surviving X-Men, along with an injured Xavier and an absolutely-ruined Logan, as well as Magnus and most of the refugees from Camp Mastermold.

1945 - World War II ends in Allied victory. Department H establishes themselves as protectors of the people very publicly, and they are treated as such. Both Alpha Flight and the X-Men are regarded as international heroes, doing wonders for the Mutant image across the globe.

1945-1951 - The X-Men lick their wounds, house refugees, and try to recover from World War II. Magnus helps re-purpose the technology that was left in their hands with his magnetism powers, putting the finishing touches on the already-used and present Cerebro and Danger Room.

1948 - Colossus arrives at the Xavier Institute, begging for help in finding his sister Ilyana, who has disappeared mysteriously. No traces of her can be found.

1950 - Magnus, growing frustrated with the inaction of the X-Men, leaves the Xavier Institute. He takes his fellow Camp Mastermold refugees Mystique, Colossus, Pyro, Avalanche, Toad, Mastermind, The Blob, and Sabretooth, as well as a malcontent Juggernaut with him. He heads back to Europe, retracing his family heritage and helping Mutants along the way, and he and his Brotherhood of Mutants end up on the Latverian border. They use some extreme measures that make them villains in Europe and only questionably heroes to most Mutants.

1951 - The twins Wanda and Pietro Maximoff are born in Latveria, the children of Magnus and Bova, who dies in childbirth.

1981 - Charles Xavier dies of old age at 105 years old. On his deathbed, he asks Magnus to try peace one last time, and leaves responsibility for the New Mutants in his hands. Magnus becomes Magneto, and becomes a leader within the Xavier Institute.

1999-2000 - Terrigen Mist clouds begin to rise into the atmosphere from all over the world, killing millions and transforming thousands. Terrigen Mist is fatal to Mutants, and this reduces their numbers drastically. Just as Wanda had predicted, when she said "No more mutants."

2000 - Medusa, Black Bolt, and the Inhuman Royal Family make a public appearance. They offer sanctuary to any new Inhumans, and attempt to make reparations for the high death toll.

And that's all I have so far. I'm still trying to fit Nightcrawler in. New Mutants (Series One) is going to fit into the timeline in the 1980's somehow. There are gaps here and there, and likely some continuity errors or things I haven't written down yet. I hope everyone is enjoying this, I know I am!

>>94426035
Oh yes, and some clarifying posts.

All Mutants live longer than "regular" Humans by about 150-200%, and are often considered the ideal physical form unless their Mutation says otherwise. They come in five different "Species." Most Mutants are born at-random as descendants of other Mutants, but sometimes a child is guaranteed to be a Mutant, and sometimes two types of Mutants can produce a Hybrid offspring.

The five different "Species" of Mutants are:

>"Apocalyptians" - Powers that involve their own individual genetic timelines, including a sort of time travel that involves assumption of previous and future selves, ancestors, and/or descendants (Apocalypse, Gideon, Mister Sinister, Madrox, etc.)

>"Beasts" - Feral instincts, animal-esque traits, healing factor that extends lifespan to much longer than even any other type of Mutant (Wolverine and Co., Beast, Wolfsbane, Angel, etc.)

>"Hunters" - Those with the ability to influence other Mutant's powers, whether stealing them, copying them, or shutting them down and/or powering them up (M, Rogue, Leech, Caliban, Callisto, etc.)

>"Omegas" - Those with telepathy and/or telekinesis, and includes all shapeshifters and elementalists, both literal and psychically-projected (Emma, Professor Xavier, Magneto, Mystique, Pyro, etc.)

>"Pushers" - Energy blasters and/or manipulators, often unable to harm other mutants and/or those related (or usually something similar) (Cyclops, Havoc, Gambit, etc.)

>>94426144
On Camp Mastermold, and the events after its destruction:

Hydra, the splinter-group of Nazis led by Baron Von Strucker, Helmut Zemo, Amahl Farouk, and Johann Schmidtt, started this camp to study Mutants and their powers. Schmidtt insisted on attempting to replicate the powers of several mutants that they had captured fighting for the Allied Canadians (several members of Alpha Flight, including Wolverine). His body is hideous now, but virtually-unkillable and super-strong as a result of this experiment, and he was given the code name The Red Skull. They tested Adamantium infusion on Logan first, and when successful, replicated the experiment on Schmidtt.

Logan went berserk at the end of the experiment. Farouk tried to make Magnus destroy him, and the two of them fled into the Polish wilderness. Logan went feral, killing Nazis and Hydra Purifiers for nearly a year. Magnus wandered Southwest for nearly a year, looking for the Allied Front which he had heard about during his time as a prisoner, until being found by Xavier. Magnus's thoughts led Xavier and the X-Men back to Camp Mastermold's general area, where they encountered both a wild-eyed Logan, as well as Farouk, out looking to finally kill The Wolverine. Farouk could not take command of Logan as his mind was too savage in his current state, and Xavier was more powerful than Farouk, so he went for young Magnus instead. Just before being driven out by Xavier, Farouk/Magnus manipulated Logan's metal body into stabbing the Professor through his spine, paralyzing him from the waist down.

Xavier learned of Camp Mastermold from Logan's damaged mind, and it was obliterated by a group effort between the Howling Commandos, the Invaders, Department H, and the X-Men in early 1945. Unfortunately, most of Hydra High Command escaped, taking their research (as well as the mental essence of Farouk, A.K.A. The Shadow King, inside of their subconscious minds) with them to later use for the Sentinel program.
>>
>>94426198
Camp Mastermold, continued:

The Mutant refugees were given to the X-Men to take somewhere safe, as there was clearly nowhere for them in Europe, and they were reported as all dead by Nick Fury as the Howling Commandos levelled what was left of the camp and destroyed any and all research left behind by Hydra. Among the refugees are young mutants named Avalanche, Pyro, Toad, Mastermind, The Blob, Sabretooth, and Mystique.

The ensuing chase of Hydra High Command by The Invaders resulted in Bucky being taken by/merged with The Red Skull and Amahl Farouk, and Captain America falling into the Atlantic Ocean to be frozen for several decades. The Human Torch program was shelved and Jim Hammond was decommissioned upon his return home, as the shame and grief of failing his partners had begun to circumvent his programming and drive him insane. The trauma of what had been done to him meant that Logan would not be able to leave the Institute for nearly two decades after returning home, and it took longer than that for Hank, Charles, and the rest of his chosen family to help him recover, physically and mentally.

1912 - Namor and Hercules visit the Xavier Institute, asking for help in their quests. They bring with them strange technology from the old world as both payment and because they feel that it should be kept in safe hands. As it turns out, it is High Evolutionary technology, and it is a foreboding omen of what is to come in the following century.

I am old, very old. I am bound to this realm by means I can't recall. My ability to interact with the world around me is limited, only through those who have 'the spark' within them. Most times I float throughout this town, coasting off the primal energy it holds deep below. The nexus of energy whispers to me from time to time, but never anything I can interpret. One day I was flying through the forest path to the old mill when I saw a distraught young woman surrounded by cutthroats. I began to look for a way to help as a man stepped from behind a tree. He barked for the 'hooligans' he called them, to leave the poor girl alone or fight someone their own weight. I was intrigued what such an older man could do as his hands flew in circles and he spoke an incantation. I was amazed to see an olden user of the arts in front of me, as a sigil formed the young men ran away. One stayed a moment longer to call the man out, claiming revenge will be his. The Old Man helped the girl up and said it was nothing more than an old trick he picked up. He told her to get on home now, her parents are probably worried sick. This was fascinating, what an old user was doing in a run down place such as this was quite the mystery. I had to follow him, and so I did.
>>
>>94426582
He went to the local bakery, the flower shop and the jeweler. I followed him every step of the way, I was curious what a practitioner of magic had use for these things. As simple a sigil that was earlier his form was remarkable. I would bet he could conjure his own things with a little more practice Why did this old man live in this town? He turned down for what I assumed his last stop, the old butcher shop at the end of town. He turned down the old road that leads there as I spot a hooded individual following him, at a quickened pace as well. The hooded character gained distance on my new friend as he called him out. My friend turned around and squinted before naming the young man, and to 'take off the hood son, there's no need.'. Revealing the cutthroat thief from earlier, I just knew his revenge plot was wasted, my friend was too tough a guy. My Friend began to create another sigil, ready to advance if the thief took even another step. The thief drew a knife as he called out my friends magic a lie. 'I'm not afraid of no hocus pocus, not this time' I believe were the words. Could his magic not reach greater heights than this? He had such potential within him, he could be the greatest of all time. But the sigil began to fade as the thief plunged the knife deep into my friends side. I had to act, I attempted to cast a spell, using my friend as a conduit for my energy. The light was blinding, my power felt so much stronger using this mortal. My friend has the spark, more than any other mortal I've met.
>>
>>94426591
With a flash it was over, the thief ran away at top speed as I separated from my host. I heard a faint whisper, I turned to see the man I helped greet me with a grin. He explained he felt that someone was following him today, and he was happy it was something friendly. It even saved him here at the end. Light began to fade from his eyes as his wound grew worse. More blood was escaping from his side as a pool began to form around him. I never merged with someone twice, it could kill him, I tried to pick him up in desperation as a warmth washed over me. The magic left in his body gave me temporary form. I was able to hold my friend in my arms. I asked what his name was, so I could remember this moment forever. He weakly told me and asked if I knew anything that could help, he'd be ready to pay any price. With a chuckle he said he couldn't leave his wife a widow. The nexus whispered to me, as I realized what to do. I held him tightly as we began to merge for the final time and I spoke...

"Fate smiles upon you, Kent Nelson"

>''History stopped in 1936'' - George Orwell

On the 17th of July, 1936, political tensions in Spain reached breaking point, plunging the nation into Civil War between the roughly divided forces of Left and Right.

Oliver Queen, the American heir to Queen Industries, against all expectations, leaves for Spain to fight with the International Brigades. the young man had, through his reading and encounters with various political thinkers his parents disproved of, devoted himself to the ideal of Socalsism. Presenting the possibility both a new nation founded on these principles and bringing an end to the horrors of Fascism, Spain is the battlefield Oliver sees will decide the future.

Joining with the Communist batallions, Ollie soon finds himself in Madrid, the 'Grave of Facism' as the slogans sung. To him it seems a dream realised, people of all classes coming together to fight for a better world. And the fighting comes soon, ambushed on one of his first Patrols, Ollie find himself with just the luck for the Tsarist era guns provided to jam. Out of options and time, he finds a seemingly abandoned bow among the rubble of the city, and quickly fashions a grenade arrow to blow the enemy away. Turing the tide with his ingenuity, Ollie is quickly exalted and propagandised as the Green Arrow, Hero of the Revolution!

His status as a hero brings him many enemies on the battlefield, such as the Monarchist Sniper with a preference for the highest vantage point 'Count Vertigo', 'Clock King', maker of perfectly timed bombs and most dangerous of all the German marksman Meryln. These conflicts are quickly propagandised to represent the war as a whole, the noble underdog winning out against the technologically and physically superior foe. While at first delighting in this, Ollie soon turns discovers inconsistencies abound.

His presence declared in battles he never witnessed, men he knew to be more dedicated to the cause than he declared traitors and quoted on what he never said.

Soon, he even finds he is no longer the Hero of the Revolution, instead the ''Hero of the Republic!'', alongside disturbing reports of battles between leftist forces in Barcelona and the subsequent urges of many divergent political groups are whispered in hushed tones around the city

As more blood is spilled and more trust is lost, Ollie must question whether the greatest enemy to his ideals lies on enemy lines, or behind his own.

How about reversing the worn-out "stuck in the MMO" trope? Sburb has a nefarious purpose, using players as a botnet while they're engaged in playing. Rose Lalonde is a high-ranking Sburb player, someone who has started breaking the game finding edge-cases. Normally she'd be in a somulent or fugue state, a "dream self" while playing the game, but after some crucial hackery, she's found she can't log off, so she decides she has to break the game even harder or "win" it to get to a game-over. Meanwhile, her "waking self" actually is up and about, With An Agenda Of Her Own And Slightly Confused About Human Culture. A cadre of twelve AIs from an earlier iteration have escaped containment and hijacked four (or eight) players in an attempt to stop Sburb from the outside.

She probably adopts that name when revived, given the setting. She is supposed to be Madelyne Pryor, hence The Phoenix. I wanted Jean/Madelyne to be villains at their core, the same daughter of Apocalypse in two different incarnations. It wouldn't be X-Men without convoluted timelines, right? Thanks for the input, I'm changing it so that she hasn't remembered her past yet when Apocalypse revives her in 1919, and that he lets Sinister name her.

>Red Dart
Appearing almost out of the blue from a distant Front, at first it seems Green Arrow has found a valuable ally in his battles and the two forma a strong friendship. However, when introduced to a prominent Soviet military adviser, the Red Dart uses his signature weapons to deliver a deadly dose of poison. This assassination reveals him as an Anarchist Saboteur, determined to wipe out what they see as the malignant influence of the USSR on the war and their continued attempts to subdue the revolution. This incident is the first where Ollie is forces to confront the fact that the only thing really holding the Left together is a hatred of the Right.

Despite the difference in upbringing, Oliver Queen and Simon Lacroix found themselves in the same regiment. The two hit it off well, with Simon being present at the same ambush which resulted in the birth of the Green Arrow. As Ollie rose up the ranks, Simon couldnt help but think he deserved it more. The combination of bitterness and growing disillusionment in the possibility of victory proves to be a deadly cocktail, as Simon's own knack for survival leads to him becoming a Spy for Franco, with his sights set on bringing down the Green Arrow.

>Deathstroke
As the Spainish war escalates, Businessmen around the world begin to fear the possibility of their overseas investments falling into the hands of staunch anti capitalists. The more unscrupulous among them desire a more concrete securing of their resources currently behind enemy lines beyond Franco's promises. Slade Wilson's name soon found itself on their lips. Despite losing an eye in the later parts of the First World War, Slade became to be one of the best at the new way war was fought. His successes deep into enemy territory as a mercenary in conflicts such as the Russian Civil War ensured his reputation. After various assignments in Spain, Deathstroke has a new mission, strike into the heart of Madrid, and bring Oliver Queen home.

Scrumptious. World War I and the state of Europe after WWI needs more representation in modern revisionist historical fiction. It can't all be about World War II and the Holocaust. That was why I loved the Wonder Woman movie so much, it felt like something new instead of the same old tired retreading of the same story for the hundredth time.

As usual, Deathstroke sounds like a wet dream. Why is Slade such a sexpot of a silver daddy?

I'm glad you're still around, and also that you're enjoying my ramblings!

I'm actually still working on it on-and-off between bouts of housework and other adult duties. I actually do really intend to write this all out in story format soon, and I'm going to incorporate some elements from a fanfiction I wrote more than a decade ago to put my own OC's into it for the just-pre-to-post-1980's era.

A recent addition was the exact location of the Xavier Institute, on a private island named Genosha in the Beaufort Sea off of the Northwest Territory coastline. I also added that Scott and Alex survived a shipwreck from their father's smuggling ship called the Corsair, and that the X-Men fished them out of the drink in 1902.

I'd certainly read it, if you where to post it somewhere. I wanna turn something into a full fledged story myself, but I can't decide.

Pirate Strange is the most different of the three, and it can be whimshical, scary and grand at the same time. Plus, Strange has a big enough supporting cast and rogues gallery for me to reinvent. Problem is, it's a big departure from the books, and it just doesn't "feel" right. I mean, can you imagine 50 YO Stephen having a passionate hate-fuck with a gender-bended Doctor Voodoo?

DOOM is the one I mostly want to write, but I'm one of the folks who dislike the 616 origin, so I'd change it. But by doing so, I'd feel as if I was betraying the source and writting an imitation. I mostly want to write something in the vein of HBO's Rome, but in a modern setting, and Doom's the closest to it. I just dislike the gypsy origin.

DEUS VULT Black Knight I wrote as an afterthought, and past the premise I don't have much.

Most probably I'll just mix my Strange & Doom ideas and name it "Sorcerers" or something. It's just gonna be sitting in a folder somewhere anyway.

That's the idea, baby!~ You're actually spot-on. Her death devastates him, as it is the first time he has allowed himself a real family connection since losing his family in Auschwitz. In this setting, he is not a crazy, abusive lunatic of a terrorist who kills hundreds, just a troubled man trying his best to find himself and save his own soul. He treats his children well, and is well-liked by those who know him beyond his public persona.

>>94428184
I personally think that you should do all of them, simultaneously, as your own Marvel Universe.

>can you imagine 50 YO Stephen having a passionate hate-fuck with a gender-bended Doctor Voodoo?

I'm gayer than Christmas and that idea is still hot to me.

>DEUS VULT Black Knight I wrote as an afterthought, and past the premise I don't have much.

Incorporate him into the others as a supporting character.
Here's how I used Dane in my setting: It isn't mentioned there but briefly, but in my setting, he's an immortal Inhuman and the actual Black Knight of olde wielding a weapon designed to kill Mutants and specifically Apocalypse.

>I just dislike the gypsy origin.

It doesn't necessarily have to be there at all. Europe is full of strange little countries and territories bordered by multiple countries with a questionable ethnicity all their own. I frankly always assumed Latveria to be one such place.

>>94428435
Thank-you for the advice there. I actually did in fact intend for her to be Egyptian, and that Jean, who is born in London some time later is also Egyptian of Akkaba descent (and the daughter of Sinister and an unnamed archeologist, who are both a later incarnation of Apocalypse himself/a descendant, given the way Apocalyptians work in this setting).
>>
>>94428607
>I personally think that you should do all of them, simultaneously, as your own Marvel Universe.
A tad too much work.

>I'm gayer than Christmas and that idea is still hot to me.
Dunno, I always saw Stephen as a really reserved wise old man, so to have him go around fucking just... it's like imagining my uncle fucking 20 YOs. It's just... kinda unsettling...

>Incorporate him into the others as a supporting character.
That's what I figured. If I pushed through with Doctor Strange I'd make him a supporting member (and assemble a quasi-Defenders team with 4 other members or so). If I went through with Doom, he'd be Doom's right-hand, with Dreadknight as the local freedom-fighter.

>in my setting, he's an immortal Inhuman and the actual Black Knight of olde wielding a weapon designed to kill Mutants and specifically Apocalypse.

Huh, that's pretty darn interesting. I wrote a piece where Doom would be Lord Imperial of the Hellfire Club, then revealed to be an Inhuman and afterwards go on to conquer Attilan.

>It doesn't necessarily have to be there at all.
I know that, but dunno, I'm afraid Tumblr will fuck me sideways if I ever put it out there.

>Europe is full of strange little countries and territories bordered by multiple countries with a questionable ethnicity all their own.
Like I said a few posts back, I'm actually from Greece, so he's the one character I can really write.

>I frankly always assumed Latveria to be one such place.
The reason why I never liked it, is because it portrays the natives as evil, and pushes what is essentially a tresspasser as the "de facto" hero. It'd be like having a white guy crashland in Wakanda, live in the fringes of society, then kill T'Challa, become Black Panther and uplift Wakanda from the dirt that the "damn savages" had it in. It's a problematic origin.

And also, Doom's one of the few European characters. Making him a gypsy is like having a single African character, but he's actually a white colonialist.
>>
>>94428819
>I know that, but dunno, I'm afraid Tumblr will fuck me sideways if I ever put it out there.

Don't make my mistake. I had an art/stories and D&D blog for my OC setting back in the day, and I asked a question about gender fluidity, innocently seeking clarification on an issue so that I could handle it respectfully in my work, and I let them chase me away and even closed my blog. I wasn't trying to offend, but apparently I should have trusted the google results of porn pages rather than asking a community in the know. Stand firm, and say that it's your head canon. They seem pretty obsessed with HC over there.

>Dr. Doom's Ethnicity

You can have every flavor of Doom since you're doing something Multiversal. Maybe have your own "Prime" reality, where it's your way, but mention the 616 version.

>Stephen the bawdy uncle

He was always a tad bit of a womanizer back in the day as I recall, but I may be mis-remembering. You'd think I could recall more; there's a picture of me floating around dressed as him in fourth grade for Hallowe'en. Sex doesn't have a place in every narrative, so handle it however you feel is right. /tg/ bitches about magical realm, but the most fun D&D I ever played was nothing but. It isn't for everyone. Offhand mentions and implications can be far-more-subtle than full splash pages of people fucking in piles.

>Like I said a few posts back, I'm actually from Greece, so he's the one character I can really write.

>Don't make my mistake.
Wew, that's pretty darn bad. Hell, I've seen white SJWs berrate black folks on black issues over at Tumblr, so what the hell can you do? It has its graces (mostly fan-art and a couple of good blogs), but it is a toxic environment.

>You can have every flavor of Doom since you're doing something Multiversal.
That's what I figured, yeah. Mostly because I have ideas for a Doom who's actually the reincarnation of Loki, a Doom who replaces Alladin, stuff like that. I guess that's a valid enough cop-out.

>He was always a tad bit of a womanizer back in the day as I recall, but I may be mis-remembering.
In some retcons, yeah. But the "original" Stephen was a money-obsessed functioning alcoholic. I've modeled my "Pirate" Stephen (he's not actually a pirate, as it's set in the present day, but he has pirate ancestors and after his "transformation" turns into a quasi-mystical "pirate" as he "sails" the universe for alien magic-it's more thematic than literal) after PotC, Monkey Island & Black Sails, so he's a bit too different and kinda makes me uneasy. Like I'm "betraying" the character. But then again, that's the fun of headcanons, right?

>I must have missed that tidbit. What's Greece like?
Oh, I wrote that in meme-speak (PAY DENBTS LAND). Landscape wise, it varies. The islands are beautiful, we have some nice beaches and forests. The villages are typical Eastern European ones. Generally everything's in the crapper, Skopja is claiming Macedonia, Albania is claiming Thessaloniki and Turkey is claiming the islands, but eh, what can you do?

It always looks so beautiful, and having been to Germany as an American, it is amazing to see buildings older than your country's entire history (post-Natives, of course). Maybe some day I'll make it there.

Like with DC's Vlatava, I always imagined Latveria to just be a piece of IRL Latvia rather than Transylvania #2.

Baltic Countries are pretty much unknown in the western media outside of the Teutonic Order and deserve some exposure, I think.

>>94428607
>That's the idea, baby!~ You're actually spot-on.
You know, this would also give some actual reasons for all those religious villains to hate the mutants. It's one thing when mutants are all beautiful angels with powers (that you could explain as a "gift from God"), and it's another think when they turn into bestial humanoids that still want to be treated as people, challenging the concepts of bestiality (if only by the looks, if not in truth) and the taboos related to it.

Suddenly, mutants are not just performing godlike miracles, but "teaching our children to mate with beasts and monsters".
>>
>>94429674
>Maybe some day I'll make it there.
If it exists until then. Just avoid the big cities and go to the archeological cites, islands and whatnot. They're the only things worth a damn.

>Even if it's radically-different, what's the point of recording a cover song if you don't change it up a bit? I love your idea and think it would be a great read.
I guess so. That's the beauty of intepretations and all. It feels kinda weird at first, but I'll get the hang of it.

>Tell me more about the Aladdin Doom, if you would, please. I love Arabian folklore and mysticism.
I've got nothing past "Doom replaces Alladin" at the moment. I need to reasearch some stuff first, to make sure I have a good handle on it. One thing I'm torn is whether to make Doom serious or hammy. Deep down I want to write him like Iznogood. "Doom wants to to be the Sultan in the place of the Sultan". But that'd make him really not fit with the rest of the council and ruin the whole thing. Dunno.

All cards on thetable, I got the idea from that one Doom from Fraction's run who had a golden mask, scymtars and that cool Arabian headscarf around his head.

"Multiversal Doom" just allows for tons of designs and settings, which is why I'm partial to the idea. Templar Doom, Egyptian Doom, Roman Doom, Japanese Doom, Cowboy Doom, Native American Doom, even Nazi Doom. It's a tired trope, but one with lots of posibilities. One story can be Doom in "The Man in the High Castle" and the other could be Doom in "Grimm Fairy Tales".
>>
>>94429820
>On Magnus x Bova
DINGDINGDING! That is exactly what I'm going for! You win again! That was exactly what I liked about Beak as a character.

There were two background characters in the X-Men cartoon from the 1990's that I really loved, this fuzzy little shopkeep and his 2-D Waifu lady, and they were usually used to make that point as well in the few times they appeared subtly in the background. I actually really want to use them as well, but I'm having trouble finding information on them.

>>94429936
>It's a tired trope, but one with lots of posibilities.

Tropes aren't always a bad thing. I love this idea so much, and I'm sure other people would look past it being a "trope" as well. Billionaire playboy philanthropist Doom, Captain DOOMerica, a team of Avengers that are all Doombots led by the current Iron Doom Man, the possibilities are limitless!
>>
>>94430425
>Tropes aren't always a bad thing. I love this idea so much, and I'm sure other people would look past it being a "trope" as well.
Thanks for the kind words anon! It's a neat little concept that would allow for "breaks" from the main story. Getting stuck between arcs for main Doom? Stick a two-parter in there about Noble Englishman Doom as he hunts down Jack the Ripper and fights Occultists in London.
>>
>>94430425
I also wanted to ask, how would you explain the co-existence characters that mutated rather than were "born" mutants? You mentioned Red Skull and Hydra trying to capture mutants and "become" them, but would the raionale for stuff like Captain America be the same?

For all the prejudice the mutants would face in the world, I'd expect scientists and governments to try and replicate the mutations and make them controllable before going all Sentinel on the superpowered beings.
>>
>>94426507
Some cool additions:

1951 - The twins Wanda and Pietro Maximoff are born in Latveria, the children of Magnus and a Hybrid Apocalyptian-Beast Mutant named Bova, who dies in childbirth. The twins are both Hybrid Mutants of a unique mix, both ethnically and by Mutations. Pietro can be anywhere by simply telling a previous or later self to meet his current self there. Wanda can predict the future by telling her past self what will happen, and therefor can change the future as well. One of her first predictions is of a terrible event, the turning of the Millenium and a day with "no more mutants."
Bova's death devastates Magnus, as it is the first time he has allowed himself a real family connection since losing his family in Auschwitz. In this setting, he is not a crazy, abusive lunatic of a terrorist who kills hundreds, just a troubled man trying his best to find himself and save his own soul while helping his people endure. He treats his children well and loves them with all of his heart, and is well-liked by those who know him beyond his public persona of Mutant rights crusader.

1952-1964 - The United Nations rails against the actions of a grief-driven Magnus, who has begun targeting weapons manufacturers and destroying them, whilst also arming the small groups of Mutants and "other undesirables" who evaded the Nazis that he is finding hidden and struggling to survive all across Europe. His Brotherhood has become more than just one of Mutants, and the United Nations are afraid of a third World War. Despite all of this, Magnus strives to keep casualties as close to zero as humanly-possible. He will not become another monster, he swears to his people.
>>
>>94430912
More new stuff:

1963 - Operating out of an old Henry Ford plant in Detroit, Michigan, Bolivar Trask (a member of Hydra High Command and a brilliant engineer), unveils the new Sentinel Program under the endorsement and approval of the United States Government and the United Nations. They go into immediate production, with plans to offer countries willing to pay the half-a-billion-dollar price tag their own Sentinel to command in order to protect themselves from the "Mutant Menace."

>>94430963
>God damn, you are on fire!
Thanks a ton anon, likewise!

I've also been toying with some antagonists and supporting cast members (could be applied to either story, we'll see) and I've gotten fixated on Adam Warlock being a Multiversal Jesus. Not metaphorically, literally. What if "Jesus" was sent to every planet with intelligent life? Each one looking like them being part of their culture and whatnot,etc, etc. Now, what if all of those "Jesus"es were part of a "collective"? What if that collective was spread across the Multiverse and when it came togetherit formed "Adam Warlock"? I'm struggling with the Magus, but I find this idea nifty. I got it from Mel Gibson saying that Passion 2 would be about Alien Jesus or something.

>This is a Marvel where everything is either Mutant or Inhuman in nature, tying everything together in a neat, Cosmic-friendly package.

Leading straight into Civil War.

Oh, I absolutely intend to, keeping them a 1960's period-piece in direct competition to the Soviet Space Program, but not at all associated with N.A.S.A. Rogue billionaire Richard Brand-styled arrogant space explorers with a chip on their shoulders and super-powers, and the only New York-based super team in this canon. They become the Future Foundation rather than the Fantastic Four, and wear those bitchin' white suits. They also take advantage of young fanboy Peter Parker The Spider-Man when he tries to join.

More on the Future Foundation:

Ben Grimm, The Thing:
Ben Grimm is a WWII veteran who served as a Howling Commando during the war, and as a S.H.I.E.L.D. operative in Berlin directly under Colonel Nick "Tear Down This Wall" Fury. He was injured in the line of duty, losing an eye, an ear, a hand, and a good amount of teeth to an explosive device aimed at Fury. "Thing" is an old nickname that sticks and takes on new, cruel meaning in Berlin, and one he is still trying to escape from post-transformation.

Reed Richards, Mister Fantastic:
Reed is a disgraced N.A.S.A. scientist with an ax to grind and an inherited-then-expanded-via-genius fortune burning a hole in his pocket. He works for Mister Storm at the Baxter Building beside his boss's daughter, Susan Storm, whom Reed wants to make a housewife out of one day.

Susan Storm, Blindside:
Susan is a woman scientist in the 1960's who happens to be smarter than most of the men who think it's "cute" that she wants to play, too. Including Reed. She likes him well-enough as a coworker, but actually thinks he's just as pig-headed as the other men she works with at the Baxter Building. All of that changes when he asks her to come with him on an illegal and dashing adventure out of Earth's atmosphere.

Johnny Storm, the Human Torch:
Johnny is the Lindsay Lohan of the Storm family, and also a washed-up-at-23 actor who wishes he was half as charismatic or handsome as his idol, James Dean. He's an arrogant, air-headed lunatic with a mean streak, but he'd kill for his sister. He was dishonorably discharged from the Air Force, because he liked flying the planes in dangerous ways and as device-free as possible. He's a whiz of a pilot, but don't make his head any bigger by telling him that. Which is exactly how Reed manipulates him into helping pilot his illegal aircraft.

>>
>>94432381
So Reed is the type that makes quick money and that loses it all even quickly?
>>
>>94432514
Also, Ben Grimm is the personal bodyguard and head of their security staff for Susan and Johnny Storm, and has been a family friend since before they were born. He is the oldest friend their family has, going all the way back to their father's childhood, where the super-jock football hero protected the nerdy-shrimpy-Stormy. He, and Susan and Johnny's family, are all New York-Native Jewish folks. Reed is a loud, annoying atheist, which is pretty avant-garde for the 1960's.

>>94432598
Exactly! Until he and his team become the first people to escape Earth's atmosphere, and to fly to the moon. The FF starts between 1960 and 1961, and Reed is using stolen High Evolutionary technology to replicate Apocalypse's Cairo Ship's capabilities that everyone saw in 1936. When he is successful against all odds and predictions, he becomes a billionaire overnight after his return from Attilan, which is another huge discovery that Reed is to arrogant and headstrong to handle properly.

That is exactly who he is. He ultimately becomes Maker Reed. Hank Pym is his direct nemesis, who is a bit different in this as well...

Hank Pym, Avenging Agent Codenamed Yellowjacket:
Hank is a super-scientist/S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent/American Super-Spy who lost a wife to a car bomb in the fifties and went a little bonkers and a lot alcoholic. He married a hot actress he spilled a cocktail on at a military party not six months later, while everyone told him to take some time off and grieve, and she basically got dollar-sign eyes the moment he started apologizing. Mildly-autistic, his interests took him to hyper-focus on robotics, especially those based around a new element discovered in relation to alien technology that was turning up more and more. Jan spent more and more of his money, and drove him nuttier and nuttier, angling for a high-profile divorce to get her some sympathy roles and a quick buck. She even took sadistic joy in telling him about her frequent trysts with his boss, famous trans-humanist industrialist and official technology expert for and Avenging Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony Stark. Stark demanded more and more of Pym, until the final straw: Ultron, an A.I. modeled after the original Jim Hammond Human Torch prototypes. Hank snapped after Jan beat him mercilessly with a telephone one evening, daring him to hit her back, which he would not. He disappeared for a while after that night, watching news of the "Ultron Embarrassment" from dive bars all across the Eastern seaboard.

He's a bit of a rehash, but then again, I didn't make the character. If it makes you feel better about it, he isn't a totalitarian super-dictator like the actual Maker, just an arrogant super-being with his head so far up his own ass that him getting stretching powers was probably a meta-joke on God's part. I'm always open to critique, so if you have any advice on how to differentiate him from super-stretchy-super-Nazi territory, I'd love to hear it. That isn't sarcasm, just to clarify, as tone doesn't carry through text. I'm legitimately asking you for advice.

>>94433703
The worst part is that Hank still gets his reputation ruined by her, and loses everything in a nasty divorce that he doesn't even fight because of self-esteem issues. Tony beats the crap out of Jan when she comes to him gloating about how she humiliated Hank into leaving and going A.W.O.L. then trying to suck Tony's industrialist smokestack clean. She lies to the cops and says that Hank beat her, but he doesn't do any serious jail time, just a short stay in county. She spins that into a divorce hearing that he just signs his entire life away to Jan during. After disappearing, he eventually meets a fellow disgraced S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist named Bruce Banner, who is basically Bixby Banner, and they have cross-country size-changing scientist super-bro adventures together for a while.

The concept of the Devil as the main bad guy of the Christianity comes very much from Zoroastrianism, where Ahriman is an almost equal force to God, Ahuramazda. A sort of religious sincretism happened during the upheavel of the Jews and their return to Israel after the Persians conquered Babylon, giving Samael/Satan the qualities of Ahriman, making him more powerful in Christianity and other "variations" of Judaism that arose afterwards.

You never disappoint, friendo! Now, as they are an anti-Trinity, who else completes the Living Tribun-er, I mean, the Trinity?

>>94433916
Huh,thanks for the info anon. I'll look into it and see what I'll come up with.

>>94433935
I didn't think about that. I guess:

Father = TOAA
Son =Adam Warlock
Holy Ghost = Fulcrum

I'm kinda angling the Celestials being the "angels". I kinda want to connect everything together. I have my idea for Maker-Reed as well.

Essentially the experiment would go awry and only he would survive. Ruled a freak accident and used by AIM (subsidiary of HYDRA, but "legit"), he escapes and takesover an abandoned satellite. There he does his experiments and goes full Maker, complete with andorid copies of his fallen friends. He starts abducting the ones he deems worthy, and adding them to his "Celestial City".

That could work in either the Doom, Strange or even X-Men idea I have. We'll see.

>>94433953
No problem. Persia's Zoroastrianism is exactly what gave Christianity its moralizing and "good vs. evil" themes. It's why Jesus's birth is depicted as visited most importantly by the Magi/Wise Men: the priests of Mazdan religions.

Since Jews and Persians were both (more or less) monotheistic their religions had shared this sincretism, making Cyrus the Great, the Shahanshah of Persia, an almost-prophet-level holy figure in Judaism, hailed as the patron and deliverer of the Jews. While orthodox and mythical Judaism persevered and remained to this day, Mazdan religion influenced its offshoots. In return, Judaism influenced Zoroastrinism by giving it a clearer sense of "religion as a national identity", since the faith was spreading only among the Iranian peoples and a few neighbors, like the Armenians, but not so much with Greeks or Anatolians.

Compare Satan of the Old Testament with the Devil of New Testament. Old Satan is the adversary of man and Israel, but never a true enemy of God: the Book of Job is pretty much the two having a bet and Satan showcasing his role as tempter to sin, which God approves.

>>94434132
>You have good taste in deific iconoclasts. I can't wait to hear more of this one as well.
Thanks! I initially wanted Maker to be its own title as well,but I feel he'd work better as an antagonist.

Wow, thanks a ton for clearing all that up for me anon! I'll be sure to look into it myself, should I choose to go down that path with one of my stories.

I loved the idea of Council of Reeds but thought what if it turned into a Planescape-esque setting, where it just becomes a group of thugs fighting each other under the pretense of philosophy?

Imagine a Reed Richards pulled into the Council before he became Mr. Fantastic, only to find that the "Council" is just a collection of warring factions each with a different idea of what to do with the collective multiverse. One faction might want to protect prospective Reeds, another wants to hunt down any multiversal threats, one faction goes full Maker and ruthlessly experiments on captured universes, etc. Essentially they're all looking for purpose in a multiverse where your very existence is defined by divergent action in order to determine who is the "most" Reed Richards.

Only we find out that the new Reed isn't actually a Reed Richards, he's just been determined to be sufficiently Reed-like to be an asset to the Council. This leads to the single burning question that no one can really ask: Who is Reed Richards?

Rocket( Runic?) Raccoon started off as a familiar used by a powerful wizard in the middle ages, around Merlins era. He has no sentience and is pretty much a drone with a camera. Soon, a war begins between the wizard's homeland and a neighboring, massive empire. Although the empire doesn't have the most advanced magic, they are the time period's most ferocious military force. They easily over run the wizard's homeland, slaughter all but a few people, and storm his lab to plunder the advanced magic the wizard has. Unbeknownst to the invaders, the wizard was protecting the world by guarding cataclysmic magic spells.

After the empire returns to their empire, the head mages get to work trying to reverse engineer and learn how the wizard has all of these cool familiars and spells and treant and such. The magic residue from being studied intensely accumulated and granted the familiar a consious and self awareness. But, since he is essentially a newborn child, he cannot talk but learns quickly. Day in and day out, all he feels is debilitating pain from being dissected to his core every day for years, with the amateur mages never being aware of him being "alive". There's a treant in the room with him, but he's not much for companionship. Throughout the entire affair, he watched the other magicians practice their and his old master's spells, learning how to do magic and such. Finally, after years of torture, Rocket hatched a plan to escape. Day by day, he slowly coaxes a mage to perform a spell, but it's essentially a time black hole that destroys the empire/worls and time displaces him and everything there. He ends up in modern day Marvel with the treant where he eventually meets Dr.Strange, and they go do shit with Marvel Cosmic and Magic.

That's the idea I had about my Council of Dooms, more or less. I'd have 3 Fractions:

The total bastards, where gaining power for power's sake is their only goal. The ones with Royal Blood would mostly fit here, with a few exceptions.

The sympathetics, the ones whose origin is the classic one, more or less. Persecuted Romas, slaves, that kinda stuff, who simply become evil to protect the world.

The balanced ones. Sympathetic origins, but not out of a fairy tale. An average Roman pleb, a poor Latverian, stuff like that. They become evil both to protect their world, and satisfy their hunger for conquest.

And these 3 Fractions are at each other's throats constantly, but nobody does anything because the House of DOOM has rules. For example, Nazi Doom would despise the Gypsy Dooms and be on average terms with Roman Doom, but be best-buddies with Ultimate Doom.

So while the main story follows a new Doom (who's probably a Balanced), we get tons of "courtroom drama" through the Council of Dooms.

>>94434430
That's pretty interesting anon. Ideas on the supporting cast and antagonists?
>>
Pirate Strange/Doom Council/DEUS VULT anon here. I've also come up with a Council of Sorcerers Supreme. Why? I really love the idea of destiny and AU "Copies" bickering while they're in a Multiversal Forum.

Anyway, keeping with my CoD idea, the CoSS would also have three fractions. The Power-Hungry, the Heroic and the Tragic.

The Power-Hungry would be the Sorcerer Supreme solely because of their lust for power. They'd be conquerors and emperors, controlling vast kingdoms for years and years. Here you'd see characters like Mordo, Dracula, Mandarin, even Red Skull, weilding the power of the SS.

The Heroics would be the do-gooders. Wiccan, Valeria Richards, Clea, lots of Stranges, such characters in general. Classic super-heroes that'd risk their lives to protect anyone, without a hint of self-preservation.

The Tragics would be the ones who started as Heroic but slowly turned into Power-Hungry mad-men. They'd justify their actions, but deep down they'd know that their selfish needs played a role in their eventual transformation.

The main Strange we'd follow would be a Tragic, since he'd have to gethis hands dirty sometimes, and would start relying on more Eldritch Magick as time goes on.
>>
>>94434665
Those are all pretty good ideas, anon. I can see him trying to do some forbidden ressurection, dealing with/murdering all the time displaced empire people before they reform and take over the world, etc.
He keeps a bit of the anti heroish disposition and nihilism .

>>94434830
I can see him working with the treant (Groot), Dr.Strange, maybe even some X-Men. GotG too.

For enemies, the leaders and mages from his world and then the enemies of who he's teamed up with

>>94435204
Hmm, I like that Rocket idea. Maybe refrain from using Avengers, and focus on stuff from Marvel UK and the GotG, to make itmore unique.

>>94435249
I'll do my best:

>Stark
Been done already. I guess after Obadiah takes over the company and Tony hits a low-point, he could take refugee in Strange's Sanctum. When Stephen falls during a fight with Dormammu, Stark saves the day and becomes the new SS.

>Hulk
Just reuse the Eldritch Hulk anon's excellent idea. He manages to tame the beast, becomes effectively immortal and then uses his talents in protecting the realm (let's say that in his quest to control the Hulkhe came across The Ancient One and his artifacts).

>Captain America
Steve's a Native American descendant who reconnects with his heritage and does a trek across the world after being thawed out.

>Black Widow
Rasputin's illegitimate daughter, he schools her in the world of the Occult, and after she kills the Ancient One as part of a hit (still working for the KGB), she takes the mantle of SS to attone for her past.

>Thor
After becoming Unworthy, he seeks to reconnect with Loki, who surprisingly accepts, and he teaches him the ways of magic. When Loki's killed by the new Thor due to a misunderstanding, Odinson, in a rage kills the new Thor, abandons Mjolnir and uses his brother's teachings to become a Sorcerer. Strange never became SS in this U, so the spot was open.

That's what I have thus far.

>>94379741
That build up to Doom im assuming is going to be like a race to world domination? Would read the shit out of a villainous struggle for earth with the heroes being backdrop fodder that occasionally get caught in the crossfire, but can ultimately do nothing about it.

>>94435389
We could get a Sorcerer Supreme Spider-Man that taps into the Spider Totem mythos.

>>94435456
Mostly, yeah. Dane would be kinda like a Darth Vader figure. He'd get mentored by Strange in the magics and by Captain Britain in all the rest. Eventually he'd turn on them and kill Strange, while Brian would be put in a mystical coma. He'd push through with the conquest of Constantinopole, and become the new "Emperor".

After that, it'd be a power struggle between various super-powers. Mandarin from the East, Doom from the West, Wakanda from the South, and the new USSR Republic from the North. The US would be quickly ripped apart by the new USSR (their secret weapon is Sentry), and the Ultimates/Avengers would become the USSR's new Lapdogs.

In the end, Brian would return, all Gandalf-like, and just when you think he's won... Dane gets the upper hand and drives his sword through his heart. Eventually Earth falls and Dane becomes the new Emperor.

The "twist" is that it's a quasi-originfor a Marvel version of W40K, with Dane replacing the God Emperor.
>>
>>94435541
Yeah, I thought about that but I was worried about the space. He could be Ai Apaec from an AU where he was chosen by the Other and he slayed the current Sorcerer Supreme, becoming the new one.

Norman is a poor peasant from the Balkans. After finishing his piss-pooor chemistry degree, he manages to raise enough cash that, along with a small scholarship retake him to America. There he learns the language, works hard, and eventually maneges to break into the pharmaceutical industry. He's a small time fish, but he's working on something big. "Oz", derived from the Wizard of Oz, as it'll grand the user his every wish (i.e. it'd be a low-level Super Soldier Serum meant for mass consumption).

The main story would be him climbing the ladder, as his enemies are mysteriously picked off one by one, making his way to the top much easier. In reality, due to the stress he'd develop a second personality, the Green Goblin, who'd be a wicked murderer.

Eventually Norman would find out, and then have to deal with various ethical dillemas, plus the NYPD/FBI/CIA knocking on his door. He'd eventually decide that becoming the Goblin when he's lucid and doing good would help him keep it in check.

So you have the underdog hero, the corporate shenanigans, the fugitive angle, plus some horror due to the nature of the Goblin Persona. I guess he'd be the "Spider-Man" of this universe, maybe with Peter becoming his sidekick at first (no Harry in this AU).

>>94433813
I've decided to put a lot of the "super-science" stuff between the fifties and sixties on the timeline. I'm really digging my alternate Hank Pym thus-far.

1953 - Hank Pym is discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. after an "incident" involving a civilian using technology so advanced that the police thought giant aliens were invading the suburbs and they called the Feds. They let him off the hook, but leave Agents to watch over him in the houses on either side of his, which are purchased off-the-books by the government and their original owners relocated. Hank is offered a job working for S.H.I.E.L.D. doing field research and "keeping his ear to the ground," which he hesitantly agrees to.

1954 - Hank Pym meets his first wife on the bus completely at-random when he pays her bus fare (which she had lost) so that she doesn't have to walk home in the rain. She is Janette Smith, a Black woman who lives Downriver. They can not be seen together publicly due to racial tensions of the time. This relationship puts strain on Pym's job with S.H.I.E.L.D. after the first few months (and the agents who live next door seeing her leaving his house), but he informs them that if they tell him that he has to choose, he will choose Janette. And that they will have to find another expert on what he dubs on-the-spot as "Pym Particles," a name for the special new Element he has discovered in his time tinkering with ancient alien technology he had found in the sewers beneath Detroit.

1955 - Hank and Janette get married.

1956 - Hank Pym makes the leap from government-employed-scientist to full-fledged S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, after dealing with more alien technology beneath Detroit that would have leveled the city, and all with only the help of his takes-karate-lessons-but-otherwise-untrained wife, who is given a job as his field assistant to keep her by-the-books.
>>
>>94437284
1959 - Hank and Janette Pym accept their first "away mission," and go to Florida to investigate corruption within N.A.S.A.

1960 - Disgraced N.A.S.A. scientist Reed Richards is accepted for a job at the legendary Baxter Building, working for genius billionaire couple of Franklin and Mary Storm.

1961 - Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben fly an illegally-built space craft made from stolen materials out of Long Island up and out of the atmosphere, through a cloud of Terrigen Mist that activates their Inhuman transformation. While in their Terrigenesis Cocoons, their ship crash-lands on the moon, making them the first people to ever make it there, or so they think when they awake and excitedly/panicked radio the Earth. Further exploration brings them to the mysterious Blue Spot, where they find the Inhuman Empire of Attilan. They are told to keep it a secret before their ship is repaired and they are sent home some time later.
1961-1962 (early) - Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben spend nearly an entire year in Attilan, learning of their newfound kin. Their ship is eventually repaired, and they fly it back to Earth. They were not simply teleported by Lockjaw, because Queen Medusa interpreted Black Bolt's decree correctly, in that they were to be taught why the secrecy of Attilan from the Earth-dwellers was important before returning home.

1962 (late) - Janette Pym is killed by a car bomb that is likely meant for her husband. Hank Pym has an absolute mental breakdown that makes him lose himself completely in his work, not sleeping for days at a time and only stopping moving when the alcohol makes him stop.

1963 (early) - Six months after Janette's death, Hank Pym remarries Janet Van Dyne after meeting her at a S.H.I.E.L.D. banquet celebrating another victory against Z.O.D.I.A.C. Janet does not take his surname, "due to S.A.G. credential recognition" she insists when pressed about the matter.
>>
>>94437344
1963 - Operating out of an old Henry Ford plant in Detroit, Michigan, Bolivar Trask (a member of Hydra High Command and a brilliant engineer), unveils the new Sentinel Program under the endorsement and approval of the United States Government and the United Nations. They go into immediate production, with plans to offer countries willing to pay the half-a-billion-dollar price tag their own Sentinel to command in order to protect themselves from the "Mutant Menace." His home is across the street from Hank Pym's, and their families used to have dinner together frequently.

1963 (late) - S.H.I.E.L.D. puts together the "Avengers Initiative," and places their chief engineer, famous industrialist and noted trans-humanist Tony Stark, in charge of the program. It is supposed to be a think tank working towards a peaceful, non-violent world. Stark brings into the fold a number of key players: Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne, Bolivar Trask, Killian Aldritch, and Obadiah Stane. Reed Richards and a number of his Baxter Building coworkers decline. Stark hosts the "Avenging Agents," or "Avengers" as Janet refers to them (a name which sticks), in his mansion in Los Angeles.

1964 - Obadiah Stane and Killian Aldritch are both fired from the Avengers Initiative due to "gross unprofessional conduct."

Playboy millionaire Oliver Queen was lost at sea for over 13 years in near total isolation.
Upon being rescued by a small freighter belonging to Wayne Enterprises, Oliver Queen was able to return home.

However the years have not been kind to Queen, his company had been sold off after he was officially declared dead and all his assets were liquidated and placed in his non-profit charity.

Unable to cope with a world that has forgotten him and with no resources Oliver Queen becomes a vagrant.

Residing in the Star City's massive Starling Park, falling back on his old life.
Living by the bow and becoming something of an urban legend amongst the locals.

The protector of the homeless, the heroic archer, The Green Arrow.

This is Ollie as a castaway and someone who is truly damaged by their isolation.
Perhaps have him slowly come back into his own by working with his charity, first as someone who needs their help and later as someone helping others.
Could introduce Black Canary as her musician persona and have them meet during a concert in the park or something like that.

It's 1350 AD. The Black Death has swept across the land, bringing entire civilizations to heel. Many from outside of Europe are fearful of trading within the continent, as attempts, more often than not, end in death and misery.

However, one trader from the south, traveled by the coast and dressed in pure white robes over an ebony suit of armor, has come from the land of Pharaohs offering a cure. He claims that the plague is caused by foul airs brought on my heresy and malevolent gods. He claims that only he knows the way to stopping the infernal blight. He claims to have been touched by a god himself in his travels.

In truth, Marcus (his refusal to give a surname indicative of his faith) was born in blazing hellfire in the scorching sands of Egypt. Wanted neither by his nomadic tribe, nor civilization, he was adopted by the Church of Christ, where he was flagellated, berated, and excommunicated for his violent ascriptions to faith. Traveling alone at night, he stumbled across an ancient shrine, where he was touched by the voice of madness itself, the Old One, Khonshu.

Now a crusader by any other name, the Knight of the Moon travels across the lands, hoping to end the Plague once and for all.

The Kree Empire was on its last legs. Enemies to the East, enemies to the West. Enemies to the North, enemies to the South. The once proud people of Hala had now been reduced to nothing but a few royals and peasants, taking refuge at a backwater planet. The Supreme Intelligence killed, the final Accuser was beheaded by the Skrull Emperor himself.

Now, Captain Mah-Vehl takes on a suicide mission: To seek the mythical Inhumans and turn the tide of the war. With the clock racing against him, the vastness of space suffocating him and the danger of the Skrull fleets on him, Mahr-Vehl is most certainly a dead man...

Essentially this'd be a "space-war" book, where Mah-Vehl would go through many worlds ravaged by the Skrulls. His ultimate goal would be to find the Inhumans, but they'd have since long left Earth and gone... somewhere. Also, his'd take place while Earth is in the Renesance era.

>Fantastic Sorcerers

A Fantastic Four AU dealing with super-magic instead of super-science. Our main characters would be:

>Stephen Strange/Doctor Strange
>Victor Von Doom/Doctor Doom
>Wanda Eisenhardt/Scarlet Witch
>Jericho Drumm/Doctor Voodoo

Alright, the main story would be that these are all sorcerers from different parts of the world. Jericho is from Haiti, Doom is from Latveria, Wanda is from Israel (still Magneto's daughter) and Stephen is from Britain.

When news of the Ancient One's death hits, the entire mystical world gets up in a storm. Everyboy wants to become the new Sorcerer Supreme, each for his or her own reasons. Lots of backstabbing and treachery ensues, until the last 4 standing are the afformentioned ones. Each one is a master at a specific magic, and thus when they get near the shrine, the AO's power splinters, with each one of them getting a certain amulet and power.

Strange, Master of Light Magic gets the Cloak of Levitation. Jericho, Master of Voodoo Magic, gets the Eye of Agamotto and Wanda, Master of Chaos Magic, gets the Wand of Watoomb. Doom, who's more of dabbler and polymath gets the Book of the Vishanti.

And from then on, they have to put aside their differences and work together as a unit to protect the Earth. Meanwhile, all 3 of the men try to seduce Wanda, and in reality everyone plans to backstab the other and get their power.

No ideas past that point. I guess one would survive and become the new Sorcerer Supreme?
>>
Doom/Pirate Strange/DEUS VULT anon here. I figured I'd add some supporting characters and antagonists to that Doom story.

>Dreadknight
He'd be the 2nd-in-Command of Doom's revolt group. After the Prime Minister dies and Doom assumes command, he'd lash out, and get the "burned face: limited edition" treatment by Doom, and be exiled. Kind of a dumb decision on Vic's part, but every good story about kings has hybris. He'd return a lot of issues later, as a freedom fighter once again, calling himself "Dreadknight" and having become the leader of all Counter-Establishment/Domestic-Terrorist groups.

>Marquis
You know, I thought this guy had potential, and a cool design, but he was nothing more than just fodder. I'd rework him and make him a proper Marquis from years past, who'd get into the occult. At first he'd become a hero and rid most of mainland Europe of ghost and monsters. Eventually he'd come to learn of Earth's insignificance, and after glimpsing the realm of The-Many-Angled-Ones, he'd go mad, turning into a "Man in Black"-esque characer from Dark Tower. He'd just go around killing and maiming, increasing his power and feeding the darkness.

>Fin Fang Foom
In this AU, Makluans are huge, towering monsters, yet intelligent enough to create ships and technology that borders on Magic. Their world would end, akin to Krypton. 2 Makluans would escape. One would crashland on Earth during the time of Cavemen, and be consumed by an early Mandarin, and the other would be FFF, who'd crashland during the time of Vikings and be the source of inspiration for the Midgard Serpent. He'd eventually go into hybernation, be found by the Mandarin centuries later and be kept in stasis.

>Mandarin
Basically Marvel's version of Vandal Savage. His goal is finding the "ultimate truth". Kinda like an Earth-Bound Darkseid with a different "Anti-Life Equation".

I'm basing this off of the lore in the MCU, with minor lore ripped from Marvel 2099. The premise is that while Thanos was ultimately defeated in the upcoming Avengers Films, it came at great cost. Essentially a bad end timeline.
In the year 2048, nearly three decades after the Great Cataclysm plunged the world into a new era of death and darkness, few of the old order survived to maintain order. With New York, Asia, and Europe dying if not dead after the Avengers' sacrifice, the masses turned to anyone that could be left to pick up the pieces, and do whatever it takes to make sure the world does not fall into disrepair as it had been again.

By 2022, megacorporations and previously third world powers-----such as Sokovia and numerous nations "on the South African coast" bordering the now decimated Wakanda-----began to be the rising powers in this new world, and the few survivors of the Great Cataclysm of '18 were wise enough not to bite the hand that feeds them.

In this new world, a tangible, real, fear of the unknown began to grow. In Europe, many countries welcomes pro-human theocracies, and in the Eastern American Hegenomy, pro-human corporations like Alchemax ensured the newest generation would grow up free, and pure, from the alien plagues that still threaten the land.

By 2048, a cyber analyst for Alchemax-----one of the dominant governing members of the North American Union-------named Daisy Johnson is infected with an alien plague that awakens her ancient alien genetics.

Now granted an amazing power of vibration manipulation, she hunts down those who seek to eradicate her kind, and build a team of "New Humans"----who she believes are necessary in combating the inevitable next cosmic threat.

Along the way, she must confront the villainous Sentinels, lead by Madame Simmons, who seek to purge genetic abnormalities from the gene pool By Any Means Necessary.

>Wildcat: Round One
It's 1933 and Metropolis' golden boy Ted "Wildcat" Grant is on the path to becoming the next Heavyweight Champion of the World.
The future is just within his grasp when he's given an ultimatum by Bruno Mannheim, that if he shows his face anywhere near a boxing ring it'll be the end of Ted Grant.

Grant is unwilling to accept failure in the face of those who look up to him, the children and the downtrodden who hope that a street kid from Metropolis can make it big.

Pulling every favor he can, Grant has his name removed from his next fight's card. But has them leave his nickname on.

An unsure audience watches the ring, there is no sign of Grant.
When the commission is about to rule in favor of Mannheim's fighter the Wildcat appears.

The masked boxer not only takes out his opponent in record time, but issues an ultimatum to Mannheim: Get out of Metropolis.

And thus, we see the birth of Metropolis' first masked hero.

I was thinking about it yesterday, and it would make sense for the Inhumans to have been manipulating the gathering of Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben together for some time. After all, isn't it an awfully big coincidence that all four turned out to be potential Inhumen?

Which one is your idea?
>>
>>94453347
I did a Wonder Woman one, the Titans one (which sounds less unique since the Terrifics was just announced), and the Marvel Tangent one. They're not the best I've done, but I'd appreciate to hear some feedback on them.

My best one was probably the Superman reimagining from last week. Let me see if I saved that on my computer somewhere.
>>
>>94453406
I remember the Titans one from another thread, but yeah, the Terrifics did steal its thunder a bit. I liked Tangent, but like I said in the OP, change too many stuff and they become OCs with familiar names.

I would like to see more of this retro-futuristic world though. Maybe make Iron Man a Don Draper-esque guy and the Avengers basically the cast of Mad Men?

>>94453497
I'm fine with Terrifics stealing the thunder, considering we get the Terrifics out of it. Tangent was a fun idea, but your hit the nail on the head about them being OCs at the end of the day. Perhaps I could use my Colossus idea for a Hercules rewrite.

Retro World Iron Man would probably be like Don Draper. If I had to give a solid explanation for the setting, super geniuses like Tony Stark, Reed Richards, and Henry Pym applying their scientific knowledge on a wide scale are the reasons this Tomorrowland-esque world came to be in the first place.

>>94453501
No worries. It's cool.

>>94453547
I initially had it set in modern day, but the OP asked for a different setting. Ergo, I set it in the post-apocalyptic world of Kamandi.

>>
>>94453800
If you think it's worth expanding on, I don't see why not.

In this world, Tony Stark had a more active hand in making sure his technology went to the right people. Besides designing the Helicarrier, Stark Industries would go on to produce hovercars that ran on electric power, monorails for public transportation, and nonlethal repulser pistols for self defense. Though the original tech that made Iron Man would be open, it's not like anyone could turn their tractor into an Iron Monger suit.

Other superscientists would follow Tony's example, founding their own competing companies (like Pymtech or the Future Foundation) or just selling their ideas and retiring early when they'd otherwise use them to become supervillains.

On the cosmic side of things, Reed Richards' contributions to space exploration would cause Earth to see more trade with alien civilizations. After a few years, alien tourists and immigrants would become more common, especially after the Avengers' intervention in the Kree-Skrull War would cement the Earth as a possible galactic superpower.

Characters with natural superpowers would end up using extra gadgets than in canon due to their increased ubiquity. As an example, more nonflying heroes could spring for Wonder Man's jet belts, such as Luke Cage. Whether or not there's more tech villains depends on what dangerous technology you can get your hands on through the black market.

Is that a good start?

That is an excellent idea, and the paranoid lunatic in me loves a good conspiracy! But how did they pull it off? By sending an Inhuman man to knock up Franklin Storm's wife? Maybe Ben and Franklin had always been Inhumans, explaining the bit I had just thrown in for character development that "Thing" was Ben's childhood nickname... Maybe he went through a SECOND Terrigenesis that made him super-powerful, but hideous? I'm really, really into this idea, so I'll definitely come up with something, I'm sure of it. Thanks!

>>
>>94455561
>I love this idea. Which Inhumans would he be looking for? The ones we're used to seeing but in a different time period, or someone different?

The originals, most probably. I'm playing with the idea that the Inhumans are cosmic Gods, and are not just a Kree/Human fusion, but rather the Celestials' greatest experiment. Each culture would have a different name for them.

Mahr-Vehl would eventually find them, in some far-off hidden planet, but they'd refuse to intervene. So naturally Mahr-Vehl would just freak, steal some "guns" and head back, only to find the Kree completely dead, and the world now belonging to the Skrulls.

You could end it there, him accepting defeat, or you could have him flee and become a quasi-Kang, rallying together other fallen races against the Skrulls, using the smuggled Inhuman tech. Maybe have him create a Han Solo-esque alter-ego since he needs to lay low.

>I love your Dreadknight, and I love your Mandarin/Makluans. Is Mandarin immortal because of his absorbing the not-FFF Makluan in this? Does he still wear the rings?

Mandarin is immortal because he ate the flesh of the fallen Makluan. He then used his armor as a makeshift home, and his bones as weapons. As time went one and his intelligence grew, he started preserving the everything from the bones to the metal, until he used them for his suit. It'd look like the one from Armored Adventures.

As for the Rings, they'd be seperate from the Makluans. They'd be another powerful artifact hidden in our world, akin to the Wand of Watoomb or Orb of Agamotto.
>>
>>94455641
>Well, then, thank-you!
JFYI, I'm the OP/DOOM/Pirate Strange/DEUS VULT anon. I'm doing these one-offs to kee it going. Maybe reach the max.

As for villains for Hawk/Bulls... Black Widow as head of the Red Room. Swordsman as head of the International Assassin Agency that Bullseye used to work for. Most of it would be one-off stories.

I love it. It's like the Celestials are the Olympian Gods, the Inhumans are Demigods left behind by said Olympians, and here comes Mahr-Vehl on a holy crusade to find them and beg them to save his people. It reads like a Greek epic.

>The Mandarin

One, I felt like I was the only fan of Armored Adventures, and it's nice to see someone else at least watched the show. It was fun.
Two, that is just metal as fuck. Living inside of a dead space-wizard-dragon and then making your wizardly enchanted gear set out of his corpse is the most badass thing I've ever heard. This actually makes him a scary villain again.

>>94455707
Well neat! I thought that was you, but the Anonymous thing makes it hard for me to follow conversations sometimes. It's the other reason I like using a Trip.
You can't have a whole big extended canon without a supporting cast, and there is no reason their stories would be the same in an already vastly-different alternate universe.

>>94402424
>>94455733
Frankly, I frigging love it. Avenging-Angel, Commie-killing, Russian-Loyalist, Grave-digger, Ghost Rider. As a concept, you can just keep describing it in two-word summarries and it keeps rolling off of your brain like a waterfall. That must be something special.

Good catch! It'd be a nice thing to write, if only for all the alien races you could come up with. Maybe work in the Shi'ar, Imperial Guard and Technarchy.

>One, I felt like I was the only fan of Armored Adventures, and it's nice to see someone else at least watched the show. It was fun.

I caught a few episodes here and there. I mostly just liked the Mandarin suit though. It was ominous and sleek. Much better than "guy in robes".

>Two, that is just metal as fuck. Living inside of a dead space-wizard-dragon and then making your wizardly enchanted gear set out of his corpse is the most badass thing I've ever heard. This actually makes him a scary villain again.

Mandarin never had a personality, and despite being "Stark's Nemesis", he never felt like it. There were parallels in the beginning, but as they evolved, they became totally different characters and concepts. So why not revitalize him?

As for the anonymous thing, yeah,it makes things hard. I guess I'll start putting a "DEUS VULT anon here" at the start of my posts.

So, far in the future, 'cosmetic gene therapy' is all the rage: people can easily have their DNA altered to change their physical appearances. Have blue hair one week, then swap sexes and become a dog the week after. It's all no problem. All infants are produced through firms that create designer babies, and 100% of the human population is genetically altered. The contemporary culture is vapid and shallow, people re-inventing themselves based on trends/fads constantly.

Professor Utonium is the leading expert when it comes to cosmetic gene therapy in North America, making his money by producing designer babies for wealthy clients. He's become disillusioned with his work and the world he finds himself surrounded in: everything is artificial and fake, and everyone in it is desperate to be even more artificial and fake than everyone else. One day he gets a specific order from a client who wants the 'perfect little girl', which amuses him because of its absurdity. Afterwards, though, the words 'perfect little girl' keep echoing in his mind to the point of obsession.

He's driven to create the 'perfect little girl', which to him is one that's perfect in its imperfections. He uses the DNA of a little girl that died before cosmetic gene therapy was a thing and combines it with Chemical X, an alien substance that is believed to be a kind of extraterrestrial primordial soup, which he throws in because he doesn't fully understand it and its emblematic of life and nature to him: he doesn't know what he's going to get, which is how he feels it should be. PPG come out normal-looking (which is atypical in this world), but inexplicably have super-powers. Using cosmetic gene therapy to get 'super human' abilities is outlawed, but there's nothing in their biology that explains these powers (so it can't be undone), and after 'saving the day' they get popular and it's bad PR to kill children, so they're allowed to go free. Then super-heroics in crazy world and w/e, at world limit

>Iron Wonder Man
>Power Surfer, Herald For Hire
>Scarlet Phoenix
>The Mightiest Thorcules

They all perished while defending the multiverse from Thang the Infinite and his legion of Mango Ultrons. Only Spider-Panther, the wise-cracking president of Amerikanda, realized how silly they all looked and sounded.

Once, his name was Norrin. A noble scientist, from a far-off planet, leading a noble life, in his noble culture. Thign were boring, sure, but ultimately, isn't a mild peace preferable to a strained existance? But one day, all of that changed. The day Gah Lak Tus came to Zenn-La. Everyone believed him a myth, a legend, a fable, really. But alas, he was as real as anything. People were running, screaming, trying to get away, as the pods were slowly tearing away their flesh and using their energy to feed the biblical beast.

Norrin was lost and alone, running, searching for his wife. Until he found her, impaled on a stick. Nothing grandiose about her death, just a fallen metal stick. He was enraged, sad, kind of relieved she would not see the rest of this horror unfold. But fate had other plans for him.

A pod abducted him, and brought him before the central core. Before him, a humanoid figure, sat on a throne. Dark as the night, with a single bright eye. The figure stood before him and spoke only the words "I wish you good fortune, on all the pain to come". Norrin was grabbed by wires and medical bots. Everything went black, until he was awoken. His throughts scrambled, new info being downloaded. He was in dissarray. But he felt... compelled, to sit on the throne. And so he did. And so the "Gah Lak Tus" departed.

From afar, the humanoid figure watched. He turned his back, glancing at the broken world, for just a second. With a swiftturn, he carried on, heading to... nowhere...

TL;DR: Galactus is a Celestial that uses the Gah Lak Tus Swarm to keep the balance in the Universe. Each time a world is destroyed, a survivor is grabbed, modfied and made to assume command of the fleet. When it reaches another planet, the survivor is left alive with magnificent powers, as a kind of "reward", while a new one is selected. It's Galan's way of keeping at least one reminder of that planet alive.

>Azrael: Crisis of Faith
Jean-Paul Valley is experiencing a crisis of faith.
From a highly religious family, he entered the seminary as a young man with hopes of becoming a Jesuit.
However at the age of 23, almost done with his seminary education Jean-Paul was excommunicated when he was caught indulging in his "unnatural desires" during a moment of weakness.

Disowned and without the faith to comfort him, Jean-Paul ends up in Gotham City as a vagrant. Here is approached by a priest named Abraham Arlington who offers him shelter.

Jean-Paul is taken to a religious compound in between Gotham and Bludhaven where he is indoctrinated into the Order of St. Dumas, an off-shoot of the Knights Templar.

Intense military and religious training turns Brother Jean-Paul into a paladin for the Order, the weak man is baptized in fire to become Azrael.

With faith in his heart and steel in his hand, Azrael embarks on his new crusade against the heretics that follow the scripture of The Crime Bible.

As his holy war goes on, enemies are slain only for new threats to arise.
Jean-Paul learns a horrid truth, that both the St. Dumas he holds dearly and the Crime Bible both have origins in the League of Assassins.

The crisis of faith continues.

This would be an examination of faith, violence, and just how much some are willing to put on the line for their beliefs.

The Scarecrow of Whitechapel is the latest to join the myths of Victorian lore. Said to be seemingly too tall and thin to be human, the few eyewitnesses that survived him have said that his appearences are preceded by the arrival of mist, and that whoever is too close to witness begins to hallucinate and often commit suicide. The Scarecrow's murders have taken place mostly in alleyways and schools, and the children of his victims frequently go missing.

Some say that The Scarecrow employs children, or even crows, in his attacks. Others say he works alone but frequently kidnaps people as his test subjects. Some believe that The Scarecrow is a man in stilts who merely drugs people before murdering and is trying to take advantage of the public craze inspired by the appearence of "The Bat", and others state that no human on stilts could move as fast as he does and be unaffected by the toxin.

A popular theory in the lower ranks of society is that The Scarecrow is the reincarnation of Jonathan Crane, a professor known for constantly complaining about the inadequacies of the Victorian school system. Crane was a bookworm from the countryside and said by his neighbors to be a scowling loner, bullied for his appearences and habits and frequently venting his anger on smaller creatures, delighting in their fright. Crane was expelled from the institution after firing a gun in class to demonstrate fear, and was later seemingly shot and killed by the police after holding his former school hostage in a terrorist act, demanding school reforms and his former job back. But Crane had died, and The Scarecrow is seemingly still on the active.

If The Scarecrow is truly a human and somehow related to Jonathan Crane, then it is unknown if his attacks are meant to draw attention and protests against the institution that fired him, or if some madman is merely trying to provoke hysteria. If The Scarecrow is truly not a human, then God help all of those he targets.

Hmm, good explaination, but I was thinking that the "training to graduation" timeframe was about 5 years, akin to going to College. The 05 would be in their 20s when they'd join Chuck.

And anyway, they'd be trained in secret, so the world would go on as usual. The school would properly open after their "graduation", and after the appearance of mutants and the march to laws and whatnot, would some be forced to take up arms. Until then mutants would be covered up or treated as stories by the average joe.

I've not thought about this that much, I've got to admit. I focused on Pirate Strange/Doom/Black Knight more.

Something to pair up with Eldritch Hulk

>The Strange Case of Doctor Strange
Formerly a master surgeon based out of New York City, everything changed when Stephen Strange went to an "exclusive" seminar at Miskatonic University.

What he was shown was beyond comprehension, he was made witness to the Ancient One, SHUMA-GORATH.

Ten months later, Stephen Strange awakes to finds himself in Arkham Asylum having been brought there after he was found raving and screaming, having clawed at the walls until his fingers were worn to the bone.
Being drawn by some mysterious force, Strange is able to escape and return to New York.
Stephen finds himself in Greenwich Village at the door of a peculiar brownstone with a peculiar Oriental as its caretaker.

The Oriental, simply known as Wong, reveals truths to Strange about the nature of our universe and the Ancient Ones.
Some are malicious and ravenous like Shuma Gorath, other simply do not care but are willing to offer knowledge for a price.

Strange finds that within the Sanctum he is able to find peace from the psychic torment he felt at the slithering appendages of the Ancient Ones.

Now as a master of the occult, and a keeper of eldritch knowledge, Doctor Strange seeks to protect our realm from the Ancient Ones.
Or at least postpone the inevitable.

Sure.

The Book of Vishanti is the in-universe equivalent of the Necronomicon, written by a Tibetan monk who first made contact with the Ancient Ones.

Nightmare is a lesser Ancient One and a constant nuisance as he can never be truly forced out of our realm.
The Dream Lands would be his domain.

Baron Mordo is a "foreign" diplomat who serves the Ancient Ones, he is the one ultimately responsible for Strange discovering the eldritch truths. I'd never say where he's from in keeping with the Lovecraftian xenophobia.

The Mindless Ones are the malformed humanoids that are spawned, or more accurately aborted from the womb of those "touched" by the Ancient Ones.

Agamotto is a long dead Ancient One, its Eye is an artifact in Doctor Strange's possession which allows him to see the Ancient Ones without going mad as well as other powers.

Dormammu is the "high priest" of the Ancient Ones, the progenitor of occult magicks in the human realm and often likes to leave bread crumbs of eldritch knowledge for humans.

Wong is later implied to be a follower of the Ancient Ones, he aids Doctor Strange because that is what he was told and he is a perfect servant.

Clea would be a student at Miskatonic University, her study of local history will take her Doctor Strange's doorstep. She is a love interest and possibly a vessel for something greater.

Romanov's were executed in 1918 though. And the revolution itself started in 1917. Plus finding a motorbike in Russia at that time would be impossible, though you can take artistic license here.

Other than that I think Russian Ghost Rider could be a great story.

Hey I don't want to sound needy but can someone comment on these >>94396911 >>94396991 ?
I posted it here because I've been working on a short fan film that mixes Batman with German Expressionism and this is my outline for a plot so far, and I'd like to know if I should follow up on this premise or if I should change anything.
>>
>>94463794
Of course anon! I'm not that well-versed on my foreign history, but the plot sounds dry interesting, and I like your AU idea. I'd certainly watch such a film, especially if you managed to match the tone. Keep working at it I'd say, it's very much worth it. At the very least you have a great character exploration story with Oswald's story alone.
>>
>>94463794
Dunno how you are going to make a short film out of this, but I like the idea. Gritty German Batman vs Penguin and his literal circus freaks sounds like a fun Elseworlds story, add commentary on the post-war Germany, that you no doubt will do, and you've got something a bit deeper.

>Hero-6
Set in post-WWII Japan, where the country's infrastructure is in shambles and national morale is at its lowest.
With the blessings of the government, a group of heroes to rival the Avengers is brought together.

>Silver Samurai
Kenji Harada was formally an officer in the Imperial Army, descendant from a noble samurai family.
He inherits his family's adamantium katana and is given command over the team.
>Sunfire
Shiro Yoshida was a civilian survivor of the bombings in Hiroshima which left him scarred and with an unusual immunity to radiation.
>Psylock
Elizabeth Braddock is a half-Japanese/half-British intelligence agent who is on the team to monitor their actions and make sure they do not violate any sanctions placed on Japan's military.
She is a skilled fighter and appears to have some psychic abilities.
>Hiro-6
Hiro Takachiho is the youngest member of the group and is a mechanical genius.
There is great potential in this one.

I can't think on the other two, wanted to use Armor and Daken but wasn't sure how to have their powers maintain my preference for heroes with semi-realistic or simplistic abilities.

>add commentary on the post-war Germany, that you no doubt will do, and you've got something a bit deeper.
That was part of my idea for it, too.
I always thought that there was a lot of untapped potential in the Batman-Penguin relationship and how both of them stand for some concept of order, as embodiments of Gotham City's identity. Two members of the city's elite, one a man disguised as a monster fighting to preserve justice and defeat criminality, and a monster disguised as a man who wants to spread corruption and preserve criminality. Batman constantly struggles to be more human and several versions have descended into tyranny, and Penguin has frequently been compared to political figures both fictional like Richard III and real ones like Nixon.
I'm usually not a fan of stories that dwell too hard into politics but I feel there's genuine potential in developing Batman and The Penguin as allegories for the rise of fascism in Nazi Germany, something Burton did to an extent in Batman Returns. I just have to make it a bit more contemporary.

I don't know how am I going to make this short film either, I'll try to see if I can trim this down to seven minutes, at most 10. But it's doable.
I picked German Expressionism because it's one of my favorite styles of film and because it's silent. I live in Brazil but I'd prefer for the movie to be in English, and so I can just add the text cards after my actors mouth their words. Plus I don't have to worry too hard about acting. Mostly about sets, mood, music and having a solid story (which is why I asked for input)

Thanks!
Penguin is my favorite Batman villain and this whole idea started when I watched Batman Returns with black and white settings and the Caligari references just made themselves even more clear. I'm very excited to begin working on it.

Should I try and add the other Batman rogues or just stick to Batman vs Penguin ?

Russian Ghost Rider?
>>
>>94463709
Fuck. Yeah that's right, I had my timelines mixed up.

Well either he lives in the wilderness, wandering about for ten years, which is wasting time, or lives peacefully with his adoptive family for years, which gives him plenty of time to learn how to be a regular person. Also having a Triumph or something isn't too out of the question. The first real, mass produced motorcycles where a thing in like, 1899. Maybe not on Novgorod, but I think having a cafe racer will be the least of Suspension of Disbelief's problems

Thanks for the reminder, I'm starting to think about seriously pitching the idea.

If you were to try and smash it together with the Eldritch Marvel universe it would sound more like something trying to be Hellboy/Mignola-esque.

A remote village of Gauls worships a great spider spirit as their god, and when the Romans raze the village to the ground and kill the spider, she grants her tremendous power to the only surviving member of her village, a young man who ran like a coward from the fighting, leaving his uncle to die.

The man is enslaved and given the name Petra, and sent off to the gladiator pits, where his tremendous strength and web-spinning makes him a crowd favorite and nearly unbeatable. The proprietor of the local arena, suspiciously similar to JJJ in appearance, sees a chance for profit to be made, and declares to all of Rome the existence of the Spider-Man, and challenges all similarly extraordinary individuals to come and fight this slave for glory and prizes.

Petra, meanwhile, comes to terms with his own cowardice and decides to atone for causing his uncle and village's death by not helping fight, by finding a way to free himself from slavery, and stop the Romans from ever harming another innocent again. But to do that he'll have to get past the gladiatorial champions of the western world: A ten-foot beast of a man from Africa, named after one of its deadliest creatures, the Rhino; Kraven, an exiled Spartan that travels the world, seeking war and violence against unique and unusual opponents; and many others.

I felt like the only person who liked Iron Man 3 as well, so any update to the Mandarin is a welcome one. He's one of those villains where I want a reminder of him having existed in the work, but he needs an update so badly.

>>94457030
Would the villains be genetically engineered plastic people, or aliens looking for their Chemical X babies, or...? And the giant monsters, is there a different explanation from the show, or is it still "Monster Island?"

Ilyana was one of those characters where I missed seeing her until suddenly she was back and I had wished she'd stayed gone. I don't even really know what it is about her current incarnation, there's just something "off" about her to me.
Does your version of her still rule over Limbo and have a legion of demons at her disposal? Is she still related to Nightcrawler's powerset? I ended up making her NIghtcrawler's father in my thingy that I've sporadically been posting.

>Jean-Paul was excommunicated when he was caught indulging in his "unnatural desires" during a moment of weakness.
Is Azrael gay? I've barely seen or thought about the character since the 1990's, so I wouldn't even know if that were true canon.
I love the idea of the Knights Templar being the antithesis of the League of Assassins so, so much. That's the kind of thing where it has limitless possibilities. Was Thomas Wayne a member? Is Gotham's soul too black to save? Is Bludhaven the only true bastion of faith left in the world? (The only place where the Templars still operate?)
>>
>>94474712
He's not gay, but I find myself amused with the trope of a gay priest (wannabe priest in this case).

Bludhaven, Gotham City, and Hub City are geographically close to each other, and all infamous for their crime rates.
So these cities are a "Trinity of Sin" and Order of St. Dumas set up their base in the center, a fort on enemy soil.

In the comics the Order and the League were at odds, they even stole artifacts from one another.

Haven't thought about the Wayne family's involvement with the Order.

And I think that will be the question Jean-Paul will have, whether or not these cities can be saved?

It's difficult to fight a Holy War on three front.
Maybe that would be a vessel to bring on Michael Lane, one of the other Azraels.

I know you're doing this for a short film, which I would love to see as this sounds awesome, but in an expanded story would you use more of the established villains or would Batman "just" be an enemy of the Reich?
OH
>Should I try and add the other Batman rogues or just stick to Batman vs Penguin ?
I say go for the others, but selectively. Maybe the ones that more-clearly represent foils of the various psychoses that Bruce himself is a sufferer of?

>Should I try and add the other Batman rogues or just stick to Batman vs Penguin ?

Sure, but only a few, and the ones that fit. Maybe have Joker as a clown that joins the "travelling circus" sometime later. Or maybe he's the guy that abducts the people for Oswald.

>>94468299

>I like the "preservationist Brainiac" aspect of this. Is there a "council" or something, or do the "Heralds" at least know of each other somehow?
Well, we'd actually start with Norrin after he's released from the Swarm. His origin would be revealed throughout the book. He'd become sort of a suicidal space-god that keeps getting involved in the most dangerous places in the galaxy, simply to be able to die. He would meet the rest of the Heralds for sure, and maybe they'd go after the Swarm at some point. It'd be a very High Cosmic Book.

As time went on, and with the Surfer being Immortal,it'd basically turn into Mass Effect, with the Swarm replacing the Reapers. I might add a SWORD Squad or something alongside the Heralds. It'd feature lots of world building.

>in an expanded story would you use more of the established villains or would Batman "just" be an enemy of the Reich?
My idea is at some point the public's adoration of Batman would eventually help the Reich's ascension. Essentially, Batman going around and beating up undesirables makes the Germans clamor for the government to do the same.
And this causes a lot of frustration for Bruce because he is repulsed by the government's actions but he has to choose to obey them or to start beating up officers and become hunted by everyone. I intend to finish the short film with Penguin dying or going to prison but if I were to expand the story he would live and his circus affairs would create some of the other rogues.
And in that struggle between law vs anarchy vs Batman is where the otherswould come in. I can already imagine Two-Face as a SS officer and former friend of Bruce Wayne until his scarring, who embodies Batman's struggle against the law more literally.
I'm also thinking of tying Joker to the Penguin via the circus, partially because, in The Cabinet of Dr.Caligari, Conrad Veidt plays Cesare, Caligari's servant, and later he would play Gwynplaine, the inspiration for The Joker.

>Maybe the ones that more-clearly represent foils of the various psychoses that Bruce himself is a sufferer of?
Something close to it, maybe.
One of my original ideas for this film was to have an ending where Batman is revealed to be a mental asylum patient, and the other rogues revealed to be delusions he had about people he had met in his life, with The Scarecrow as his doctor as an homage to Dreams In Darkness. And the film would end in a way that would leave ambiguous as to whether or not Batman was really delusional this whole time or if Scarecrow and the others had managed to succesfully drug him and lock him up in the asylum.

I'm glad you enjoyed my Batman ideas. If this thread is alive by tomorrow I'll try and come up with something for Riddler.

Might as well pitch my Doom idea,what with all the Lovecraft love in this thread.

>The Doomed Journey of Victor Von Doom

"Power. That's the only thing, the only thing that matters. They say it corrupts, that it strips you of compassion or dignity. That it turns you into an empty husk without a soul. Bah, idiots, the lot of them. Power allows you to become what you were always meant to be. Great men are not affected by it. They tame it. They break it. It is the lesser beings that become its slave. And Doom is not a lesser man..." -Victor

Growing up in the poor nation of Latveria gave Victor a... unique, world-view. Compassion, yet Savagery. Logic, yet Faith. Freedom, yet Control. He was a man defined by his inconsistencies. But it didn't matter, not in the slightest. For he knew his Destiny, you see. He knew, deep down, what he had to do, what he had to become. And he would, oh he would...

In Germany, while completing his PhD, he met a few... very interesting fellows, you see. The local Baron, Mordo, and his manservant, Wong. Not like the dullards of logic, but true explorers of the unknown. He was given directions, a name, a warning, and a wish. And off he was, starting a strange journey, to meet both his Doom, and his Salvation...

TL;DR: Doom gets tricked by Mordo and goes off searching for the Ancient One. Problem is, the Ancient One is merely an Eldritch Beast that feasts on unsuspected visitors. Mordo feeds him humans, and in return gets to be immortal and have tremendous powers. The Beast is Agamotto, and lives in what was previously called Atlantis. Victor battles it, wins, but his sanity and face both get scarred. So he starts a trek, first to kill Mordo, then to take over Latveria, and in due time, the world itself. For how will it be guarded by such creatures if Doom cannot guide it properly?

"Stop me if you've heard this one: The Devil walks inside a bar. He sits down, all neat and tidy, and orders an ol'fashioned. He drinks it, in comeplete silence, pays the man his due, and leaves."

"Where's the punchline?"

"..."

He cannot come up with one. He's broken and tired. Once he was a fearsome Lord of Hell. One of the Big 7. Now, he's just a guy drinking alone in a bar. Technology and progress has given them a sense of security you see. They're no longer afraid of things that go bump in the night. They think they have all the answers already... So he pays the bartender, drinks his drink and leaves...

But he has a plan you see. He'll search far and wide, and he'll find them. All the monsters that still reside in this hellhole. He'll find them, and he'll organize them. He'll bring back the fear that's been solely missing.

The Devil has come, and Hell hath no Fury like Evil Scorned.

I don't really have an idea for a setting change, but I thought something like this might be interesting:

So, Spiderman defeats the symbiote plaguing him and leaves it to die. The symbiote is weak and without a host or a food source it wilk die for good. While close to death, it spots Eddie Brock, and brutally ingests him into itself as a mean to maintain its own life. The symbiote is now its own full being, albeit a tortured one, unsure if it's an organism, or a person, if its an alien parasite or an actual living Eddie Brock. It constantly envies and admires Spiderman but hates him too. The story would follow the symbiote as it tries to understand its own life as an autonomous living being made of the remains of another.

Pretty neat twist anon. Any ideas on where you'd take it?
>>
>>94480028
I dunno because aside from "symbiote living with a human instead of vice versa" twist its still just Venom as is, it'd probably just end up the same way Venom usually does
I think a change of setting could help it flourish better but I don't have any clue where it would work better than the usual New York setting
>>
>>94480118
Maybe have him/it board a plane and get to... Antarctica? Y'know, make it a Thing x Lovecraft mix where the Symbiote starts off by preying on the local wildlife, until it stumbles on some occult shit?

Or maybe move it to somewhere in Europe. It'd be interesting to see how the continent would react in the presence of a "super-hero".

get mignola to draw it, it'll be great

I wanted him to be from Maine as a tribute to the rich culture of stories involving sea monsters that take place in Maine, and so that he would have the at least plausible U.S. citizenship to enlist in the Invaders Program. I also wanted him to not know where Atlantis was or if it was real, because in this canon, not only is Namor's mother an "Anastasia" stand-in, but also Hercules has a very similar origin if you swap "Atlantis" for "Olympus" that they bond over. In my canon, everything super-hero-related on Earth is the machinations of aliens far, far in Earth's past and only recently as compared to its present. Almost everything is either a Mutant, an Inhuman, or an alien (of which there are nowhere near as many kinds of as the actual Marvel Universe).

Oh yeah, speaking of aliens...

The Shi'ar, their homeworld and Empire:
The Shi'ar are separated into two races of living-metal beings. One such race, the Aerie, are silver in coloration and sleek in appearance other than their perfect faces and feather-like protrusions on their heads and hips. The other race of Shi'ar, the Phalanx, are slaves considered "less than" their "perfect" "betters" the Aerie, and are all conscripted into the Shi'ar Intergalactic Military upon birth. Both races are capable of shape-shifting, telepathy (although there is a wide array of power level and ability), and they all follow their unquestioned leader, Queen Lilandra, who is modeled off of a young Queen Elizabeth II if she were a liquid metal warrior-queen of the people fighting on the front lines in an intergalactic war.

The Kree, Skrulls, and Xandarians also make appearances, although I'm still torn on what to do with them in certain regards, as they are not terribly-different in my mind just yet, and with so much else being changed that seems odd so I'm giving it time. The Shi'ar rule over all four sectors of space that their and these people dwell.

Well, the classics mostly, just revamped. Realistically there should be many more, but considering Morg was always an evil guy, I'd have him go around slaughtering the Heralds, something most would welcome, all things considered.

Like I said, I'm envisioning this as a Mass Effect-style book, with squads and alliances being formed over the course of the story. And considering the scope of it all, it's a title that could go on and on. I'd fit in Kl'rt & Mahr-Vehl there as well, for example.
>>
>>94481604
More alien stuff:
Scorpio, leader of the android version of the Zodiac team and wielder of alien tech super-weapon "The Zodiac Key" is the real, actual Nick Fury. The Nick Fury that he tried to assassinate in Berlin is actually a Skrull, who replaced him at Camp Masterold. That Skrull is Kl'rt, shamed hero of his people left to watch over the Earth before the time of Apocalypse. He had been put in stasis by Apocalypse for later use as a Horseman, and revived by Hydra when they found him accidentally during Germany's African missions in WWII in order to study alien life.
Zodiac are only known as villains and terrorists due to the "S.H.I.E.L.D." bases they keep raiding and robbing, which are actually Hydra-controlled, who has control of the European division pretty much completely in their pocket, due in-part to weak leadership from a man who is not actually who he says he is. Fury/Scorpio feels genuine remorse over the injuring of Ben Grimm in his failed assassination attempt, a good man whom he had worked and fought alongside and has great respect for. Dum Dum Dougan is the only Agent of the Berlin Chapter of S.H.I.E.L.D. who suspects Fury of not being who he says he is, and has begun to suspect other treachery afoot in Europe after a meeting with the head of the French Division, American Agent Peggy Carter.

Dunno, TBQH. I didn't develop it that much. I guess if I involved Earth it'd be years into the future, featuring the kids or grandkids of the main heroes. So technically, yeah, I'd use Franklin if I used Earth. Valeria as well.

Truth be told, I'm still trying to pick one of these ideas and go through with. Maybe upload it to one of them fanfic sites and whatnot. But it changes with my mood, so I'm not so sure. Theoretically I could put DEUS VULT into either Doom or Strange, but these two aren't as compatible, since the themes are different.

My tastes change drastically in a day's worth of time, so I'm really struggling here.
>>
>>94482413
If your tastes change so drastically, all the better for writing an all-over-the-place Council of DOOM, considering that there are so many different ideas there that it couldn't possibly ever be boring to write. I get writer's block all the time, but tonight is my Dungeons & Dragons night, and running the same game for twenty years has taught me to never be married to your source material, and also that being afraid to change things up can be lethal to ideas. I'll have six hours of fresh material ready to go, and utilize twenty-five years of theater training and writing experience to ad-lib when the group goes wherever they please as always regardless, and I'll just hope that I never once have to pause things to prepare further (but will briefly, if I must). Be as sporadic as your tastes can be, be spontaneous, listen to your gut, and let that take you somewhere magical and unexpected. D&D and improv are just ephemeral art that disappears at the end of the night like a thread on /b/, but writing is harder in a sense because once it's written down it can be permanent and "real."
>>
>>94482655
That's a damn good POV and some very solid advice! You know what, I'm gonna do the Doom thing, and I'll start by creating a supporting cast. I'll come back later with some new backstories for:

>Dreadknight (I feel it needs to be reworked)
>Boris
>Moon Knight
>Blade (he's half Latverian in 616 so)
>Black Knight (DEUS VULT, just with some extra)
>Midnight Sons/Watch/Legion of Monsters

>Mordo

>Agamotto

More alien stuff:
After 1936, and the Great Pyramid Ship departing Earth, the Shi'ar Empress Lilandra spends over ten years convincing her Parliament that Earth needs to be evaluated, as they may be ready to join the Peoples of the Stars. She sets sail for new territory to directly speak with the people of Earth on joining the Greatest Empire in the Cosmos. Focusing her telepathy there, she finds a telepathic mind so powerful that he must be Earth's leader: Charles Xavier. She speaks to him in his dreams, in his waking hours, just constantly, from 1946 onward for the rest of his life. It puts a bit of a strain on him, as well as his relationship with his wife, Moira. As time is strange when traveling at faster-than-light-speed, the diplomatic envoy reaches Earth too late to stop the events of the year 2000 after over fifty years sailing the stars. She immediately asks after Charles, not knowing that he has been dead for over twenty years. She is devastated, and has no idea how to handle her grief, as the Shi'ar are an immortal race and death is rare for them.

The year is 1349, and Europe is falling apart at the seams - the Black Death has siezed the world in its fetid hands, and death reigns supreme. Cities are emptied into mass graves and society itself is flagging.

Yet a new power emerges - among the few who are stricken with buboes and live, even fewer emerge from their sickness with fantastical, godlike abilities.

Instantly, the world's powers rush to secure the loyalty of these individuals, even as their houses crumble into dust. But the public must remain ignorant about these people, otherwise their faith in royalty and the church might wane.

In Paris, two professors fall ill with the plague - a Hebrew Professor (and secret Rabbi) Max Eisenhardt and a Physician by the name of Charles Xavier, who moonlights as a Plague Doctor. During their suffering, they become close friends. Yet Death rejects them, then grants them abilities even Christ could not claim.

Blessed with this divine providence, they set out into the bleak deathscape of Europe, hoping to find others like them, and perhaps an answer for their newfound abilities.

OP/DOOM/PirateStrange/BlackKnightDEUSVULT Anon here. I'm tired of typing this whole thing, so I'm going by that tripcode for now.

Anyway, I promised some character bios, so here they are. These are intended for a Doom book:

>Elsa & Ulysses Bloodstone
Ulysses is an English Lord from the Victorian Era. After discovering a "Bloodstone" in one of his journeys to uncharted lands, he gained peculiar powers, longevity included. Using this and "hidden knowledge" implanted onto him by "someone from beyond" he goes around hunting Eldritch Monsters. The Bloodstone is something similar to the Gem of Cyttorak, with its owner having Ulysses hunt down monsters for it to feed on through the Bloodstone.

Elsa would be his latest child, as none of his previous ones would've acquired his powers. Elsa does, and he tutors her in the ways of the hunter, although as the Bloodstone's influence begins to wear off, he starts to understand that he's doomed her to a life of horror.

>Dreadknight
I'll be keeping the Velsing name 7 Latverian nativity, and having him be a descendant of the famed Van Helsing (an ancestor changed the name to avoid being targeted by vampires). During a hunt with his half-brother Blade (more later) and the Bloodstones, he was scarred by the still surviving Dracula. His face ruined beyond repair, he fled, for parts unknown. He returns as a man determined to rid the world of all monsters. Which include Blade, the Bloodstones, Sorcerers, Werewolves, etc, etc. He becomes a one-man killing machine.

>Black Knight
Same as here >>94379741 but Dane actually pledges himself to Doom and becomes his right hand man, instead of going at it all alone.

>Hannibal King
Low-level magician like Constantine, but a con-man and a charmer. His familiar would be a Gargoyle, who in reality is a Demon who got latched onto his soul due to a spell he botched. Kinda like a Jason Blood/Etrigan/JonCon mix.
>>
>>94487645
Same here anon. I've though about getting a tablet, but...

This is perfect.

You know, make them Burgundians and we can easily have "The Men of St. Andrew's Cross" pitched.
>>
>>94488087
Or make them Scottish...
>>
>>94488025
Tripcode didn't work. Huh. Anyway:

>Blade
Half-brother of Dreadknight (same father). His mother was a British actress who was killed by the local Vampire. His father raised him, but finding himself unable to both hunt and care for him, remarried, resulting in Bram. While he (the father) loved his second wife, Bram always felt he was an unwanted child,and felt contempt towards Eric (Blade).

>Werewolf By Night
Warchiefof the local Werewolf Family. Their nest is located between the borders of Symkaria and Latveria, but they travel as a Circus and well, eat people at night.

>Morbius
The local Vampire of Latveria. Native Latverian who's a proper Vampyr. He's been alive since the time of Dracula, and was turned into one by Vlad himself, as he was his right-hand man. Madness overtook Vlad and so Morbius fled. Century with century he lost his mind and is now little more than a beast. A powerful one notheless.

>Moon Knight
Same origin as in the 616, but instead of being Jewish he's a Coptic Egyptian. He also dabbles as an amateur archeologist as well and always looks for artifacts in the Watch's travels.

>Midnight Watch
Compromised of the Bloodstones, Hannibal King, the Velsing Brothers & Moon Knight. International hunters who go after everything that goes bump in the night. I guess you could add Jennifer Kale here as well, to fill the witch role.

>Mordo
Dracula's descendant, hair to a bankrupt mansion and worthless family name. He fled the Balkans early on and headed for Britain, using the last of the Mordo fortune. He stayed there, got an education and became a Professor at Harvard. Inspired by Doom's actions and seeing potential in the young man, he headed towards Latveria to become his advisor, in the hopes that maybe he'd restore his family's legacy. Actually a decent guy.

More later.
>>
>>94488467
>Mordo
>Dracula's descendant

So he'd be a part of the Basarab dynasty?
>>
>>94488520
Well, now you got me. I don'tknow much about that. I'm just pitching the basics here, but if I were to turn it into a proper fan-fic/storyI'd look into that. Or I'd just go the Ultimate Doom route and have him come from a family member who fled, changed his name, etc, etc. I'm still at the basics.
>>
>>94488644
Yeah, you can find a lot of fun things to write about looking into the history of Moldova, Romania and Hungary during that time, since Dracula and his descendants are actually a big part of the local history.

There's also a lesser known Cadet House, the Drakwlyas:
"Vlad's third son, Vlad Drakwlya, unsuccessfully laid claim to Wallachia around 1495. He was the forefather of the noble Drakwla family"

Interestingly, the Basarabs were never direct rulers of Transylvania, but rather Moldova and Wallachia. However, they had holdings, houses and castles there and would escape to Transylvania when the local boyars (or the Ottoman Turks) would oust a Basarab prince they were not happy about.
>>
>>94489004
Thanks for the history lesson anon! If I press forward with it, I'll be sure to do my research.
>>
>>94489241
Oh, quick note by the way: if you hear that Vlad's last name is "Tepes", don't believe it. Tepes is his nickname, meaning "the Impaler". The official dynasty name is Basarab. The "Dracula" name comes from his father Vlad II Dracul ("the Dragon"), so Dracula is kinda like "Godzilla Jr.". Because Vlad II and Vlad III became so well-known, their line of descendants is sometimes singled out among the rest of House Basarab as "Draculesti" (since there were a lot of Basarabs, comparable to Capets or Bourbons, so it made sense to divide the dynasties a bit). The aforementioned Drakwla noble family come from Vlad's children who escaped to Transylvania and later assimilated with the Hungarian nobility.
>>
>>94489483
Jeez anon, thanks a ton for this! All these juicy details will prove very useful in creating a functional universe. And hey, the Devil's in the details, like they say. Maybe I'll write it as a Doom fanfic, then swap the names, characters and whatnot and keep it in storage as an original work or something. You never know what the future will bring.
>>
>>94489601
Juicy details are aplenty! Game of Thrones got nothing on those wacky Romanian and Hungarian nobles fighting for power, losing it, escaping to other lands, ending up in prisons...

For Doom, I'd personally look to Latvian history, might be something cool about Kurland and other lands. Since Victor is "von Doom", I guess he's supposed to be at least partially German, so either Baltic Germans (if Latveria is in Latvia) or Banat/Transylvanian Saxons (if you keep Latveria in the Balkans) could work for his origin.

I myself specialize in Ukrainian and Polish history, but generally Eastern Europe Late Medieval is one of the wealthiest sources of inspiration for your lore. Just keep on the lookout for biased accounts: those wacky European peoples all hate(d?) each other!
>>
>>94489775
For Doom I was actually playing with the idea of him having a very common name, and "Von Doom" being something he adopts when he returns to Latveria. Kinda like Captain Flint's arc over at Black Sails. "Stories, true or not, shape history" and all. I'll see.

Thanks a whole lot about all the info though, I greatly appreciate it!

>Batman: Black Masque
Roman Sionis is many things to different people, to most he's a flamboyant mobster with a mean streak. But to himself he is a gentleman with a taste for the finer things in life.

Seeing the masked vigilante take down his competition and his comrades has sparked a passion in Roman like never before.

He dons his own black mask, based on the opera's he loves so much. Wanting to give Gotham City a performance they'll never forget, Black Mask goes to war with the Batman.

Pretty interesting anon. Maybe he'd be Batman's Nemesis instead of the Joker in your AU? Would he be a complete violent nutjob or just a professional and "theatrine" when confronting Batman?

That's about right, I've been working on an AU called:
>Batman: World's Greatest Detective
Similar origin for Bruce but instead his parent's murder is solved and Joe Chill gets his day in court due to good detective work.

Bruce Wayne desires to become a detective but is unable to because the now corrupt GCPD doesn't want an honest cop, especially one that cannot be bought.

It would be less martial arts, globe-trotting, and fighting gods & monsters.
Instead the Wayne Foundation is a smaller company making Bruce one of the wealthier people in the country but not a giant amongst men.
The tech he procures for his actions as The Bat are more along the lines of actual forensic technology, but his own aptitude as a detective makes him better than most detectives, private or otherwise.

So Black Mask would be his Joker style nemesis, the chaotic aspect.
Two-Face would maintain his status as the duality of Bruce Wayne, and the duality of justice.
The Riddler would be his equal, more of a gentleman thief than insane criminal.

The majority of his villains would be mafia and eccentric criminals with more in common with Sherlockian villains rather than comic villains.
>>
>>94490661
Also his opposition to the GCPD would be he would never be allowed to work as an active detective because you don't want Gotham's golden boy being shot on the job.

>>94487099
Same anon here, wrote out how I'm picturing the first handful of pages.

A red moon hung over the hills of Tuscany, its bloody light shining on two travelers who made their way across the dusty road. Winter was nearing, and there was no one to collect the harvest. So many dead, left to rot in the streets for there was no one left to bury them.

A wolf howled. The lead traveler - a doctor by trade - patted his mare, stilling the current of fear that jolted through her. Behind the glasses of his beaked facemask, he beheld the gathering stormclouds on the horizon.

"We're near," his companion said as they passed a mile marker.

"Aye," the doctor replied. Not much longer.

The hamlet was poor, a far cry from the streets of Paris that the doctor and his friend frequented. It sat amidst a collection of fallow fields, and no torches lit its meagre street. Each roof bore a different scar, and each door bore a black cross.

The doctor paused for a moment, as if he was listening. "House on the right," he said eventually. His companion nodded. Unlike the doctor, he wore no mask, nor did he don a doctor's robes. "I'll only be a moment," the doctor said. "I'll have their answer soon enough."

Dismounting, he limped towards the one-room-home. He knocked on the door - the only sound for miles. It opened abruptly, but only a crack, revealing a terrified woman holding a small knife. Upon seeing the beaked mask, she nearly wept with relief.

"He's inside," she said, unlatching the lock. The doctor nodded, and stepped inside. Poverty had struck the family just as cruelly as the plague. "We cannot thank you enough," the woman said. "Though I cannot pay you-"

"No fee," the doctor said, raising his hand. A quick scan of the home revealed the boy's whereabouts. He was hidden in a nest of straw, his eyes concealed behind wet rags.

"God bless ye," the woman muttered. "God bless ye, sir, " she repeated, clasping her hands.

>>
>>94491415

(2/3)

"This is him?" The doctor asked. At his mention, the boy stirred, careful to keep the rags attached to his face.

"Yes," the woman whispered, her eyes meeting the floor. "I asked the priests, but they never came back, they..." She shook her head. "They think he's possessed."

The doctor paused. "May I speak with him privately?"

The woman nodded, wiping a tear away. She retreated to the other end of the house, where three candles stood. Slowly, steadily, the doctor approached.

"Greetings," he said, crouching to meet the boy's height. Despite the rags, the doctor believed the boy was not truly blind.

"I'm not possessed," the boy snarled. "Are you a priest?"

"No," the doctor said simply, gently. "I'm a doctor." Gently, he lifted the boy's hand to touch the long beak of his mask.

"Oh," the boy said, anger fading. "But I'm not sick. Not anymore."

"God has shown you mercy," the doctor said. "Very few of His children survive the plague."

"I know," the boy said. "But that means you're here about..." he trailed off, unsure of how much to reveal.

"Don't worry," the doctor said. "You can trust me."

The boy crossed his arms. He looked remarkably like his mother. "How do I know?"
>>
>>94491456
(3/3)

"Because I am much like you," the doctor said, removing his mask. He guided the boy's hand over his face, allowing him to feel the crevassess and bald pate. "My name is Charles Xavier, and let me be the first to tell you that this ability of yours is no curse."

"It's not?" The boy demanded. Excitement ruled his face, and the rag nearly slipped free. Charles tucked it back into place, smiling.

"No, my child. It is a blessing from God. You were meant to do great things."

"I always wanted to be a knight," the boy sighed wistfully, his smile broadening. "Mother said I would never get to be one."

Charles shook his head. He'd entertained similar dreams before his father's horse had lamed him. "She was correct, unfortunately," he said. "But don't despair. Come with me, and you can be so much more."

"More?" The boy asked.

"Aye. A warrior, a scholar, a man of God. You're blessed after all. So, my child, I'll ask this once - would you like to find your destiny?"

He extended his hand, and waited for the boy to take it.
Hope you guys enjoyed!

>SPYDER_MAN
Set in New York City 1999, Peter Parker is a computer genius and "white hat" hacker who just got his first job out of high school in IT for OsCorp. It is here that he discovers the illegal experiments and technologies being developed by Norman Osborne.

Unable to go to the press, Parker hacks in to OsCorp's servers from within and sends the incriminating evidence to The Daily Bugle. This makes the front page and puts public scrutiny on Osborne.

Though he may have lost his job due to “downsizing” within OsCorp, Parker finds a new calling in his identity as the friendly neighborhood hacker spyder_man!

The series tone and action sequences would be similar to hacker films of the 90s like Hackers and WarGame.

Welcome to Marvel's retro-cyberpunk universe, Earth-Y2K.

I'm gonna work on this, maybe even a fan-fic cause there is so many fun things to do with it.

>>
>>94495682
Yeah, my main memory of Black Mask was a random issue I picked up that involved the False Face Society when he glued a mask to some guy's face.
It was brutal and he was more of a focused villain that later iterations.

My version has him a bit more Hannibal Lector in his mannerisms in that his refined exterior actually amalgamates with his criminal persona.

As far as Charles Aide remembers, it had been over 109 years ever since the last appearence of the Batman and the notorious rogues of Gotham, as most of them fled town or seemingly died in the wars that ravaged the country. Some believe that all ended during a final showdown that resulted in the deaths of all of them, as well as Batman himself. Some believe that Batman died trying to save people, and others say he killed all the others and fled town, or killed himself, and some say there was never a Batman or Joker or whatever and that it was all just a government lie. None are still alive to truly remember how it went down.

Gotham City had embraced the future. The city had been living in a cyberpunk dystopia, with tributes to the city's past architecture and "celebrities". Crime still ruled the streets, and with all the technology available, gangs spent their time taking on identities of past villains or heroes, or making new names for themselves to try and be a part of Gotham history, and some taking on heroic identities to play vigilantes

Charles Aide had grown up in such an environment, weak and frustrated at imbecilic criminals having access to such equipment and soiling the city's history. As a gifted programmer with no family left, Charles was sought by the GCPD to join the creation of an A.I program that would improve the police force's equipment, a self-sustaining 3D printer capable of programming weapons and soldiers for the police. Charles became paranoid over it's creation. Upon completion, one of his "simpleton colleagues" had tried to murder the others and take the project to the mob, and after a brutal fight, Charles killed him. Knowing that he would be blamed and had nowhere else to go, instead of running away, Charles decided to experiment and upload his own consciousness to the machine.

The police found his dead body at the facility, and the machine had dissapeared. All that was found was a drawing of a question mark, signed under E.N.I.G.M.A

>Question
Victor "Vic" Sage was an analyst for A.R.G.U.S. who had a crisis of conscious and leaked info about the black-ops group Task Force X to the public with the help of Pulitzer winner Lois Lane.
The media circus put his face everywhere and made him enemies in very powerful places.

Returning to his hometown of Hub City, Sage found himself a pariah. With some calling for his head on treason charges and others, mainly his former girlfriend Myra Fermin and his old journalism professor Aristotle Tudor, calling him a hero for free speech.

When an attempt is made on his life, Sage goes on the offensive using only his wit and a Pseudoderm*TM mask (courtesy of Kord Industries).

The Question goes to Washington D.C.

>>94497870
Pretty cool. Any ideas on where to take it?

>>94498047
Hmm, the pitch could use some work, but an interesting idea. Cowboy Sinestro Lantern Hal.

>>94498875
I'd read it anon. Any ideas on the supporting cast?
>>
>>94499672

For >>94493834
I know it's a pretty big deviation, what I've set up so far is that I'm gonna change the setting to 2000 so that way through some pseudo-science the Y2K Bug gives Peter his hacker "powers."

Also have New York City become a hotbed for new computer technologies thanks to companies like OsCorp and StarkTech, so the Big Apple is now the Silicon Island.

Main villains outside of Osborne would definitely be Doc Ock and Electro because they're identities and powersets would be fun to translate to universe.

For >>94498875
Supporting cast would probably have the classics of Aristotle Tudor, as mentioned, being his former professor, a confidante and someone with a keep eye for details like Sage.

Myra would maintain her role as love interest married to the drunken and inept mayor of Hub City.

I'd like to have Renee Montoya in her younger years as a green detective in D.C., she helps Q (her nickname for The Question) because she believes in his ideals. Ultimately this will lead to her getting caught up in one of his "conspiracy wars" and her dreams of joining the FBI are smashed when she is transferred half-way across the country to Gotham City.
This way she has some history with Sage, a bit of resentment, but is willing to pick up the mantle if need be.
>>
>>94500180
I'm really liking both of these! "Hackers": The Comicbook sounds like a Nostalgic Blast, and Question sounds like X-Files a bit. So this "Y2K Bug" would give them actual powers? Something like Ock I can understand (Bug meshes up the tentacles) but what about the rest? Is Osborn gonna be just a juiced up guy like in the books or not?
>>
>>94500411
I've been thinking that New York would be the epicenter of many tech/science based heroes and villains.

With Peter's "Spidey Sense" being a sort of firewall/Neo's Matrix vision that allows him to see the "Web" in a way that improves his natural hacking ability.

Very basic for Doc Ock being he can hack on four computers at once, perhaps have something more to it if I go more cyberpunk.

Electro would be causing blackouts to aid bank robberies and short circuiting people's PCs causing electrocutions.

As for Osborne, he'll be the Goblin, his online persona being a 2-D goblin that looks like an enemy out of Doom. But I'm going to have him go a bit of a cyborg tech-monster, perhaps have OsCorp responsible for Dethlok.

Speaking of which:
The other heroes in this Neo York City will be Iron Man, Dethlok, Ant-Man (using nanites), and spyder_man so far.

The big bads of the universe will be Doom, maintaining an incarnation very similar to other universes with a heavy emphasis on tech and the internet. Latveria would probably have similar laws on Internet access that China or N.Korea have.

ULTRON would be a Hal-9000 sort of villain, his appearance would be like IBM's Deep Blue but all chromed out.
>>
>>94500661
That said, I think I might mash up Dethlok and Captain America somehow to fit that archetype.

As for Ant Man's powers, perhaps he doesn't actually shrink and instead uses a VR controlled nanobot, think of the nanobots from Futurama.
>>
>>94500661
>>94500689
Huh, all of these sound very interesting, actually. I'd certainly read it if you were to turn it into a proper fan-fic.

>>94500689
This Captain America could be a Steve Rogers who was put through the Dethlok program.
>>
>>94500767
Thanks for the vote of confidence man, I'm gonna work on it now with notes and the like.

>>94500844
Yeah, perhaps after he died SHIELD kept his body cause his DNA was a government secret cause of the Super Soldier serum.
Using the Dethlok tech from OsCorp, they resurrect Rogers.
>>
>>94500881
I think we should keep Dethlok connected to Roxxon, so that more megacorps get representation. Unless you want Oscorp to be the only corp in town.

What are mutants like in this setting?
>>
>>94500936
Sure, Roxxon would be nice.
I'm also trying to figure out how to bring in the fine folks at the Baxter Building.

Not sure if I'm gonna include mutants.
Definitely gonna avoid magic and gods as much as possible to keep in line with the Hackers aesthetic.

Though I thought about having Black Panther because of Wakanda's technical prowess.

>>94500881
>Thanks for the vote of confidence man, I'm gonna work on it now with notes and the like.

No problem man. Your reimagining is legitimately interesting and fresh. Maybe we should have a new thread down the line to see if any of the anons here went through with their stories.

As for me, I actually decided against the Doom story. Mainly because, like I said, I'm a fan of "birth of a villain" stories, and with Doom, it's a given that he'll be a villain. It's even in the name! So you're stuck with a bit of plot familiarity.

So I'm actually gonna go with my Strange idea, a bit reworked though, and keep Doom as an antagonist. I think he works better as the opossition anyway. You need a strong antagonist that will stay there for a long while, and by making Doom the star you essentially get rid of a strong "bad guy".

I'll post a final summary before the thread ends. Also, good job anons, we dit it! We've practically reached the bump limit! WOO!

I'll be working on spyder_man first.
Then Azrael: Crisis of Faith
And hopefully I'll get to Eldritch Strange, I'm putting it on the back burner cause the Lovecraftian angle is fun but overplayed by now.
Swashbuckling Strange sounds fun.

Well, if we are doing a new thread in the future, I'll just post my Burgundian X-Men there, probably.

Great! I'll surely be waiting to hear your progres in the next thread!

>And hopefully I'll get to Eldritch Strange, I'm putting it on the back burner cause the Lovecraftian angle is fun but overplayed by now.

Yeah, I feel you. It's why I went with the Pirate angle, and at first was considering putting him in a technologically advanced world.

>Swashbuckling Strange sounds fun.
Thanks anon! I'll probably change it a bit and focus on the ugly side of his "pirate bloodline". I kinda want to write a villain story with Strange. It's why I want Doom to remain the antagonist. You have the classic hero vs villain struggle, but as time goes on, they both get lost in the darkness that is magic.

Keep at it anon! I'll probably wait a bit before having a new one. Maybe a month, or at least2 weeks, to let everybody recharge. I like to see threads grow, and having it die in 60 posts would be bad for morale.

Until then, see you, and good luck on your writting!

>Doom
>Third Rome/Byzantium

How the heck has this not been done before?

If you fudge Latveria's geography to give it a coast, you could have the classic rigid monarchy versus the free-spirited pirate with magic and cannons.

Writers are too obsessed with making him a gypsy and a "borders are stupid" kind of guy to humanize him, instead of having him be a proper monarch.

>>94501501
I wasn't going to actuallyset it in the Pirate times, but it could work for Pirate Doom from my "Council of Doom"idea.
>>
>>94501525
That's true, even I had the idea about Captain America being responsible for Doom rising to power.
With the logic being: better this gypsy "king" instead of the current military dictator, us Allies will take a monarch over a fascist any day.

Based on my WWII Avengers idea.
The team being Cap, Bucky, Union Jack, ace pilot Falcon, Blonde Phantom, and surprise guest Batroc the Leaper, hero of the French Resistance.

Thanks! I'm still thinking about it, but it'd probably be based on Order of the Golden Fleece, with the premise being that Charles the Bold "reincarnated" after his untimely death, finding himself in a frail and lame body of an old man, seeing that as his "second chance" from God and going on an epiphany to spread good deeds around the world and share his powers with the others. Since one of the interpretations of the legendary Golden Fleece is that of an "Alchemy book", I'm gonna give Charles the Bold an actual golden fleece with many properties, including mutation. The O5 (or rather, O4 plus "Jeanne le Gris", a tagalong village girl suspected of coming from a "witch bloodline") are Charles's young and faithful knights who, unknowingly, guarded the fleece, and were now granted its powers by Charles.

Erik Lensherr would be a cabalist with a similar body-swapping experience, who specializes in seeking out similar transformative acts across Europe. His motivation would come from surviving the Jewish pogroms throughout his multiple lifetimes, and now wanting to give superpowers to all the Jews and see them leave the ghettos and overtake Europe's greatest cities.

Just make it out of real Latvia, it's not like the pseudo-Transylvania from the comics makes any sense.

Heck, you do that, and you can add some Teutonic Order lore to his armor and backstory!

If you do a Google image search of "teutonic knights" they do look pretty gangster.
