Here's a crazy one. What if every character who died in the Marvel universe stayed dead. Man, that's crazy. What kind of world would this be if people who died actually stayed dead? |

I think marvel was always better at the 'what if' conceptthab dc could ever be, at least after all the reboots and retcons dc has had over the years - when marvel did the recent Secret Wars or whatever it was stories with the alternate universes around the same time dc did the convergence stories, the marvel ones in general seemed to actually feel more era and continuity appropriate than the dc convergence stories did (with a few exceptions) - andthe what if stories that ireadcrom at least the second volume always seemed to take into account larger marvel continuity and how the changes might effect them, even if they were always 'worst case' scenarios. See, I'm the other way; DC's Elseworld stories seem way better than any of the Marvel What If.. stories. I think stories like Batman as a vampire, Batman as a hero in the late Victorian age, Batman in the 1920's, Batman teaming up with Edgar Allen Poe, Batman as Dr. Frankenstein, Superman as a son of the Soviet Union, Superman as a kid in the real world, and Superman through the eyes of Fritz Lang are way better than stories like What if Spider-man was a pig, What if Spider-Man joined the F4, What if Uncle Ben had lived, What if Aunt May died, What if the Hulk had Banner's Brain or What if Wolverine was a vampire. About the only imaginary stories that Marvel has put out that even come close to the DC ones in my mind were the "The End" stories, especially the Hulk one and the Marvel Noir line. As for stories I'd like to see, as a kid I always felt that Superman should be immortal because he'd eventually soak up enough rays of the sun that he'd essentially become a god and would slowly stop aging physically around his early 50's. Although Eliot S! Maggin touched on a similar concept but I'd love to see someone like Morrison write a story of Superman at the end of the Earth or the Universe. For Batman they already did do my early childhood dream, "What if Thomas Wayne had watched his wife and son die in the ally?" I imagined a darker, older, more desperate Batman and that's what they did in Flashpoint. Bruce Timm also did one I had thought of, "What if Man Bat was Batman?" in Gods and Monsters. One that they haven't done that I'd enjoy would be if Bruce Wayne weren't a billionaire, what kind of Batman would he be? Instead of the child of rich socialites, what if he was the son of two working stiffs? Basically a Batman with no gadgets, no super car or plane just doing the best he can for Gotham with what he has. In what story is Batman Dr. Frankenstein? It sounds interesting. |

What If Steranko had done a Spider-Man issue? I know the cover of History of Steranko features a Spidey image and I am not sure if he did Spidey in an issue of Foom or not. But imagine he did a run in ASM? Magical! What I'd rather see is longer stories by creators who work way different than the house style. DC toyed with this in the Bizarro collection, but imagine a fiull-length Batman story by Richard Sala, Charles Burns, or Ryan Heshka. |

What If... Jason Todd had been the first Robin? Probably he would have been the only Robin. Capt America & Bucky "survived" WWII? Would they still have been Living Legends? Kirk had a different First Officer instead of Spock? Would he have been a great Captain? I doubt it. Tony Stark was a cardboard manufacturer? Disaster. Star Wars was a movie about dining etiquette? Use the fork Luke! The Fork! Your Captain America idea was (largely) explored in What If? #5 (vol. 1). They were legends, but their lives took on a very different course--but still has tragedy written all over it. The Jason Todd idea is probably true, since Todd was such a terrible a-hole of a character that Batman would never see the need for anyone to take on the Robin mantle. |
