How would you incorporate........

[Sparta*]

Okay...pretend Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Hawkman and Martian Manhunter were brand new characters and Marvel had the rights to them. (Their origin is the same, but they will be new characters) How would you incorporate them into the Marvel Universe? Who would you have join what teams? Who would their main villains be, etc?

 

[Darthphere]

I would put them in this awesome new Marvel team called the Justice League.

That's a little too easy

I'd definatley seperate them. I think i'd have Superman join the Avengers or the FF, and maybe have Batman team up with Daredevil. I'd want Green Lantern to be involved with cosmic beings...maybe a new herald for Galactus? I'd want Hawk Man as an X-man most likely...

 

[Iceman]

Batman with Daredevil sounds good. Supes doesn't really fit in with FF IMO. Wonder Woman could join the Avengers but I don't think the others necessarily need to join groups. Marvel could turn some of them into bad guys. Flash could be enlisted to assassinate Quicksilver. GL could challenge some of the big boys.

 

[The Question]

Let's see.......



Superman: I'd have him operate out of Los Angeles. Since there's very few super heroes there, and the crime rate is spiking now that The Pride is gone, he'd become L.A.'s posterboy hero. This would, of course, lead to him having a tenuous relationship with the Runaways. His main enemies would be the Wrecking Crew, how would have set up shop in L.A. While they lack smarts, they certainly have the brute force to give Supes a threat. He'd eventually become the leader of a new West Coast Avengers.

Batman: You know, I'd pull a bit of a twist here. He's Bruce Wayne, a major buisnessman and playboy in New York. But, because there are so many crime fighters in New York already, one more would only complicate things. So, he begins finding vigilantes and funding them.

Wonder Woman: She'd apear as an ally of Ares. Much more cool headed and peacefull than Ares, but still a skilled and deadly warrior. She'd kill alot of Japanese demons. Yay.

Flash: He'd start off in the twin Kansas cities. Because of his speed, he quickly becomes an enemy of the now much crazier Quicksilver, who ends up in Kansas through his travels.

Green Lantern: Richard Rider restarts the Nova Corps. However, they're renamed the "Green Lantern" corps because they are to "light the way" in the now chaotic universe. Also, the slightly altered Nova Force has a green aura. One of his early recruits is Hal Jordan.

Aquaman: Namor's younger cousin, Orin. Much more cool headed than the current king of Atlantis, he serves as namor's tactical advisor. The two argue. Alot. Orin is also a mutant telepath.

Hawkman: Reincarnation of an Egyptian prince. Operates of of the New York Museum of History. Is kinda crazy.

great suggestions Question and Iceman/Psylocke!

 

[Cyclops]

I'd actually have Superman be a villain. He believes in truth, justice, and whatnot, but believes it possible only under his totalitarian rule - and he has the power to back it up.

Batman's niche is filled by Daredevil, so he'd be more of a detective and less of a crimefighter. I'm not sure Batman has much of a place in the MU.

Wonder Woman is interesting, because Marvel has no strong solo heroines who aren't spinoffs of male heroes. Diana can transfer over intact and would remain independent of any teams.

Flash I'd have as a solo hero being courted by the Avengers, but enjoys the solo spotlight too much to accept.

Green Lantern... well, a Green Lantern can be anyone. You don't need the person, you need the ring. Stephen Strange: Green Lantern seems to fit most, but I like him better as Dr. Strange. So that leaves the job up to a MU civilian. Mary Jane Watson: Green Lantern? Nah. Jarvis: Green Lantern? Hrrm. Nahh.

Aquaman would be dead, really. Because Namor would have killed him for being a pretender to the throne.

Hawkman is difficult because there have been so many different Hawkmen over time with so many different origins.

And one that wasn't listed...

Martian Manhunter: Herald of Galactus.

 

[Sparta*]

I'll edit the original list to include Martian Manunter...i'm interested to see what people will say for him as well

 

[unstoppable]

with the exception of Batman that would make me hate marvel

 

[Cyclops]

Why? You're supposed to understand them as brand new characters that have never seen print before.

 

[Iceman]

Do the DC guys bring their villains over as well? I'd like to see which currently Marvel heroes would deal with the respective bad guys. Maybe thats for another thread.

I"ve always hated DC superheros because their to perfect and if their brand new that would just restart my hatred

Way I see it, Superman would become Count Nefaria's arch nemisis eventually. Nefaria is both a physical threat to Supes (basically has all of his offensive abilities), plus has Lex Luthor's ruthelesness and intelect.

I take it you haven't read much DC then.

I don't know if there'd be room for Supes, Bats & GL etc to have a similar level of influence in the Marvel world which is already packed. I'd like to see them reduce their activities and be available on demand from the likes of FF, X-Men and Avengers.

The X-Men could call on Superman's assistance whenever dealing with Magneto or Juggernaut. Batman's detective skills would be useful against Sinister and his genetic plans. He could also do the groundwork on Kingpin and other crime bosses. FF could call on GL or Supes whenever heavy hitters like Doom are on the scene.

I doubt Superman could beat Magneto and The Juggernaut that easily. And I don't see how a detective would be useful against a quasi-immortal Dr. Mengele type mad scientist.

 

[Silicon Surfer]

Superman would almost have to end up as a foe of Magneto and/or Doom. Magneto has the power to stand up to him while Doom has diplomatic immunity to back up technological skullduggery. I can see Wonder Woman as a solo hero taking Jessica Drews place in Madripoor. Martian Manhunter I can see as a member of Infinity Watch and might even be responsible for its reformation. Aquaman would probably end up with the X-Men. Batman might end up as an enemy of either the Hand or AIM. Green Lanterns foe would probably be the Mandarin. Nobody else has the technolgy to stand up to a power ring.

I refuse to unless it's batman

 

[Darthphere]

So you choose to sound ignorant?

 

[The Question]

Why not regular criminals, mobsters, and psycho killers like his regular enemies?

 

[Silicon Surfer]

Because Marvel doesn't really have the same crazies at the same power level to challenge him. All of Marvels major crazies are out of Bats league powerwise. The only one I can think of is Miles Warren and he is dead. He would have to take on organizations to provide him with the challenge.

 

[Cyclops]

So you choose to sound ignorant?

Well, you know how it is.

You can either keep your mouth shut and let people think you're a moron or you can open it and prove them right.

I think that applies.

What the hell are you talking about? Batman regularly deals with a spree slayer dressed as a clown, a crime boss/vigilante with facial disfigurement, a sociopath kidnapper with Alice in Wonderland fetishes, and a meglomaniac in a green suit and bowler hat. He'd have plenty of challenge with the street level criminals. Purple Man alone would pose a huge threat to him. Add in the likes of Bushwhacker, Nuke, The Owl, and so on, and he'd be facing plenty of challenges.

It may sound ignorant but it's how i feel about DC their just to Perfect
