not necessarily because the enchantress, no matter how much of a schemer and pariah she is has a very close relationship with thor.
If you could write/illustrate any Marvel title, what would it be?

I would probaly write the brand new "Heroes for Hire" title, but without Luke Cage as a main member[to busy with Avengers]. The new members would be some new and some old.
1.Max Steel [geneticly enhanced former secret agent]
2./3.Billy and Jimmy Lee [ ferternal twins, and super martial arts masters,with some mystical weapons]
4.Misty Knight
5.Black Cat
6.John Jamison
7.Wonder Man
The series would be a mix DC comics Checkmate,Hong Kong action films,Noir movies,"Widescreen" comics style, and James Bond movies.

Not really. Every time they've been allies, it's because they had to be. When she helped Thor while he was mortal, it was because he was her best shot at getting back to Asgard. When they got married in the King Thor saga, it was because Thor had lost his humanity. He even says at the end, it should've been Sif. Meanwhile, the Enchantress has teamed up with Loki against Thor before.Spectre722 said:

Exactly. You know, I think I would change the therapist character into The Enchantress. Although, I think I might actually have her having become a therapist on Earth, being banished from Asgard and all. You think that would be a bit out of character?

I would love to write Thor. I'd love to. Because they're so much workable material there. And not just mythologically, either. It was Simonson, I think who turned Thor into a frog, and introduced Space Thor (you know, Beta Ray bill). I'd love to bring back that kind of stuff into Thor. Another thing about Simonson: His signature looks like a dinosaur. Seriously, look it up.
Also, I'd like to develop several characters. Hogun and Fandral are dying for characterization, and Hoder and Vidar have loads of potential.

Hogun is freakin' badass. He's like the Chuck Norris of Asgard. My favorite moment with him was in Thor: Blood Oath. Thor and the Warriors Three were in Ireland fighting Cúchulainn. During the fight, Cúchulainn's spear proved too powerful for the Thee and Thor to face in regular combat. So, Hogun got behind him and beat him into a bloody pulp with a mini van.

I'd take another look at the Mangaverse. The project was rather lame, but I thought it had potential:
Spider-Man:
The Parker family are decended from a clan of ninjas known as the spider clan, who charged themselves with protecting their villaiges from corrupt samurai and warlords for centuries. The family name was changed to Parker when they came to America. Little remains of the family's status as defenders of the people, but it is still tradition to learn the sklills passed down through the family line. When his parents were killed in a gang shoot out (they were caought in the crossfire), Peter Parker was sent to live with his Uncle Ben, his Aunt May, and his cousin Eddie. Growing up together, Peter and Eddie became like brothers. However, Eddie went through a rebelious streak as he grew older, and one day ran away from home and didn't return.
One day, years later, Peter came home from school to find his Uncle lying dead on the floor. Standing over him was a tall, muscular man with charcoal black skin, no nose or ears, long sharp teeth and fingernails, and white spider designs all over his body. It was Eddie. But now, he called himself Venom. After running awya, he had joined a yakuza gang, eventually becoming one of their top hitmen. As a sign of loyalty, he rpeformed several acts of self mutilation. His final act of loyalty was to sever all ties with his past life. He did this by murdering his own father.
Using the weapons Uncle Ben had in his antique colection, Peter fought Venom. However, he was beaten very badly, and Venom let him live, telling him that he should keep practicing. peter swore to avenge Uncle Ben and bring down Venom and the gangs he worked for. And so, using both ancient weapons and high tech devices, Peter became Spider-Man, the vigilante defender of New York. Weapons wise, we uses spider shaped shuriken, a colapsable bo staff, a grappling gun of his own design, smoke pelets, nightvision lenses in his mask, kevlar armoring in his shirt, gloves and boots that enable him to scale buildings with relative ease, and nets and ropes which he suses to ties people up with. He has begun having dreams in which he speask with the spirit of his uncle. Weather or not these are actual supernatural ocourances or signs of psychosis is unknown.
With Spider-Man's stories, I'd keep them in tune with dark crime dramas. Lots of violence and guns and drugs and betrayal and all that stuff. There would be humor, mostly coming from Spider-Man's rather sharp wit. But, alot of the humor would be a sort of dark comedy, fitting a much more down to earth and dark Spider-Man world. There would be occasional mystical stuff, but that would be rather rare, and I'd still put a real world spin on it in terms of how the characters react and the like.
The Enforcers: Three brothers who act as mercenaries for hire. The oldest is Max, the scientific mind behind the weapons he and his brothers use. He often wears a suit that has taser circutry woven into it, and goes by the working name of electro. The middle child, Alex, is the team's brawn. He wears a bulky suit of armore that greatly increases his strength and durability. He gos by The Rhino. The final memeber of the group is Willard, the youngest brother and leader of the group. A car accident bamaged most his skull beyond repair, and so a good chunk of it was replaced with highly shock absorbant metal. He goes by Hammerhead in the buisness. They've fought Spider-Man on several occasions, with varrying results in terms of victory.
The Vulture: Adrian Toombs, a master theif. He's gained the name of The Vulture from his early career, where he'd loot the homes of the recently deceaced. Toombs takes a sadistic pleasure in needlessly killing the people he's stealing from. He's very agile, and will sometimes wear a suit with retractible glyding wings when commiting crimes.
The Scorpion: Mac Gargain, the ultimate nerd. He's also an underworld information broker. Anyone can get almost any info from him for the right price. Or, if they threaten him enough. He's a regular cource of information for Spider-Man.
The Kingpin: A yakuza gang lord, The Kingpin is Venom's employer. He's a regular enemy of Spider-Man and the borderlin psychotic vigilante known as Daredevil.
The Sandman: A serial killer who thinks he is Morpheus, the god of dreams. He uses powerful sedadives to poison his victims, making them "subjects of his kingdom for all eternity". He also uses powerful halucinagens to deal with threats to his person.
Kraven: A russian big game hunter and a primal (one who worships savage animals and uses rutuals to take their spirits into themselves), Kravewn came to America to take up the contract on Spider-Man's head, feeling that he needed to gain a new hunting challange, and so became an assasin. His use of ancient rituals and preformance enhancing herbs has made him an almost superhuman fighter.
The Green Goblin: Norman Osborn, a billionare scientist. After his wife died of cancer, he became obsessed with the ocult, trying to find a way to bring her back. Eventually, he fused himself with the essence of a demon, and began stealing stealing suposedly mystical artifacts with which he might be able to use to bring his wife back. However, over time, his demonic side began to take hold, making hiom more cruel and sadistic as time passed.
The Black Cat: A theif and a mercenary, Felicia Hardy was given cyborg implants after nearly being killed on the job. She's become a sometimes ally of Spider-Man.
The Prowler: Peter's best friend, Hobie Brown was as much a nerd as Pete, and helped design many of the weapons that Pete uses as Spider-Man. After finding out that Pete is Spider-Man, Hobie insisted that he become Pete's side kick. Hesitantly, Pete agreed, and Hobie has become his partner and confidant. However, after a few nights of the head busting, he's opted to spend more time making gadgets for Spidey to use than actually fighting crime, although he does so on occasion.
Daredevil: After his wife, Elektra, was kileld by the yakuza, Matt Murdock swore to get revenge. And so, he begam the borderline psychotic vigliante known as Daredevil. After meeting a few times, he's become a stort of mentor to Spider-Man, although enither of them particularly likes the other very much. In battle, he will often use two small cythes conected by a chain.
The Owl: An up and coming gangster looking to take The Kingpin's territory, Leland Owlsly has become as big an enemy to Spider-Man adn daredevil as the Kingpin. He's called the Owl since he seems to sleep all day and only comes out at night, although he has made a few daytime apearances. He's an excelent fighter, incrdibly agile, and uses gloves with claws on them in combat.
Fantastic Four:
The Mangaverse Fantastic Four would be all about exploration. Charting the uncharted. Discovering the undiscovered. A book about science, really. Or at least, a slightly more interesting version of science. There would be giant monsters and alien civilizations and super viruses and every other aspect of science fiction I'd be able to cram in. It would be similar to Planetary, in that regard. Although, there wouldn't be the government consperacies and stuff like that. The origin:
The team met at a government think tank located in the international space station. Reed was there as a scientist. His friend, an air force pilot by the name of Ben Grimm, was there as head of security. Sue Storm was there as a participant in the study of the human brain an psychic ability. Her sister, a young police acadamy student, was there to look after her. One of the experiments, i volving the creation of an artificial wormhole, went wrong, and killed everyone in the station, except for Reed, Sue, Jonitha, and Ben, who were outside of the station at the time. The destruction of the station prompted the government to put together a team who's purpose it is to investigate the starnge an unusual. Reed was chosen to head this team. Sue, being a prodigy (as well as insane), was chosen as Reed's asistant. Jonitha and Ben were chosen to work as the team's security detail, in the evnt that anything they end up investigating turns hostile.
Reed is one of the world's smartest men. He's also an arrogant, self centered, womanizing prick. I'd say he has a heart of gold, but he probably sold it years ago to help pay for some lab equipment. His experiments with the human brain have given him the ability to elasticize his internural connections, temporarily elivating his cognative functions to superhuman levels.
Sue is skitzofrenik. She is also a savant, gifted in physics and biology, and a low level telekinetic, capable of moving small objects and causing small explosions in her imediate vecinity. She wears an aug suit in the feild, that vastly amplifies her telekinetic abilities, enabling her to generate and shape invisible electromagnetic force feilds. She refers to this as bringing her invisible friends to life. She's ****ing crazy.
Jonitha wears a plasma suit in the feild, which generates a superheated substance known as Plasma, which is considered to be the fourth phase of matter, since it's not exactly a solid, a gas, or a liquid, but has properties of all three. The suit controls the plasma through alternating electromagnetic feilds. Jonitha is stuborn and a tad mischevious, and is constantly argueing with Reed.
Ben wears a shift suit in the feild, which generates electromagnetic feilds that enable him to control specially chemically treated silicone plates. He can form a variaty of shapes this way, but usually generates two giant three fingered fists with which he beats the crap out of things. While normally quit and rather shy, Ben goes all gung ho action hero in the feild. Reed says he's living out his childhood fantasies. Jonitha says he's just a *****ebag.
The Avengers: Basically, this would be what action movies should be. Lots of fun, with enough deep and moving moments to keep the more intelectual readers happy. However, it wouldn't be all action. There would be some nice character driven moments. Especially with the team members interacting. Now, the backstory:
The Avengers are a U.N. sponsored special ops unit. Basically, when **** goes down that normal military forces can't deal with, The Avengers are called in. Long story short, they're the best. The team often works very closely with the Fantastic Four. Membership:
Tony Stark: Former billionare industrialist, he lost his mobility after a battle with Cancer, and became the supervisor for The Avengers. His company, Stark Enterprises, supplies the team with most of their weapons.
Captain America: By far, the greatest operative the United States government ever had. Wearing a high tech exo-skeliton that enhances one's strength, speed, and agility, along with generating energy sheilds that can be used as offensive and defensive weapons, Captain America was the champion of the U.S. from the height of the cold war to now. For the past 40 years, he's been out number one guy. The veterain of the group, he serves as the feild leader of The Avengers. Unknown to his teamates and to the rest of the wordl, he is in fact Steve Rogers, the current president of the United States of America. The only people who know this are his former superiors, who now work for him. So, basically, he's his own boss.
The Scarlet Witch: Born in Romania, Wanda Maximof saw visions of things that weren't there from an early age. She was put in an insane asylum, but never showed any signs of getting better. However, she wasn't insane. She had the ability to see into other realities. And, as she grew older, she learned how to bring those other realities here. She was contacted by the Romanian government, and became on of their top operatives, later becoming a mamber of The Avengers.
The Vision: Victor Shade, of England, was a child prodigy. At the age of thirteen, he got a job at Stark Enterprises in America. There, he began working on his molecular phase distruptor, which would enable object to pass tjrough otehr objects as if they weren't there. However, an accident in the lab damaged most of his body beyond repair, and almost all but his major organs were replaced with robotic parts. Encorperating the pahse distruptor into his new robotic form, he became the Vision, and became the British empire's agent in The Avengers.
Hawkeye: Clint Barton. Quite possibly the greatest shot to ever live. He was born with 20/10 vision, and an almost superhuman awareness of his surroundings. He soon became the most well known athlete in Australia. However, growing bored with the sports career, he became a theif, and roamed Australia, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. Noticing the similarities to Robin Hood in his deeds, he started using a bow and arrow in his roberies. He was eventually captured by the cops after a huge car chase, and given a deal. Work for the government or go to jail. He opted for th former, and became a top agent, eventually joining The Avengers.
Iron Girl: Tony Stark's sister, Toni Stark. She's the CEO of Stark Enterprises, and the sole owner of the Iron Man suit, which is quite possibly the most advanced peice of weaponry on the planet. She occasionally acompanies The Avengers on feild missions.
Hank Pym: A boy genius from France, Hank Pym is a scientist at Stark Enterprises. He's developed technology that enables him to control insects, and uses it as a weapon. He's also a famous musician.
Janet Van Dyne: A scientist from Austria, Janet has developed technology that enables her to manipulate what she calls cool plasma. This enables her to form any object she desires. Currently, she uses the technology to form insect like wings that enable her to fly, and generate spikes which she fires as projectile weapons.
The Black Panther: Prince of the African Nation of Wakanda, T'Challa is a primal (see Kraven). Using ancient rituals and preformance enhancing drugs, he has gained superhuman strength, speed, and agility, along with a panther like apearance.
Spider-Man:

X-Men: Basically, these are the heroes who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. The heroes who don't really see themselves as heroes. Lots of action, lots of character developement, and lots of inspection as to what makes people people. The way I'd write it, it could be compared to Firefly. It would be similar, but there would be differences.
The X-Men are a team of mercenaries based in Tokyo, Japan. The group was founed by Logan, a.k.a. Wolverine. Logan (the rest of his name is unknown) is a former speacial ops agent for the Canadian government. When his parents died, he became the legal gaurdian to his younger brother, Scott. One day, there was an explosion in their house. Later reports would reveal that a terrorist cell who Logan led a mission against planted a bomb. The government took care of Logan and Scott, and nursed them back to health. Logan's body was badly damaged, and so most of his skeliton was reinforced with metal. The doctors told logan that the blast had greatly damaged the top part of Scott's face, and that he was blind. They said that they had the technology that would enable Scott to see again, but they needed Logan's aproval. Logan agreed.
The government took this oportunity to make Logan into a super soldier. They reinforced his jopinds with powerful servo motors, gave him retractible claws, and technologically enhanced his sensed. And, Logan went about doing what he was doing before the accident, albiet much better. However, one day he discovered what the military was really doing to Scott. They were using his accident as an excuse to try a new experiment on him. To turn him into a weapon. So, Logan broke Scott out, and left the service. The two became fugitives, and have wandered the world ever since.
That was ten years ago.
Since then, they have found other freaks and outcasts like themselves, and brought them together. To survive, they've become mercenaries. The membership is:
Storm: An ocultist and a witch who can manipulate electricity and alter the weather slightly. After he coven were slaughtered by a demon, she met Logan and joined his X-Men. She's very cultured and serious, with a bit of a mean streak and somewhat rutheless nature in battle. She and Logan are somewhat romantically involved.
Jean Grey: A powerful telepath and telekinetic with abilities she can barely control. She was taken in by Logan, and Storm is helping her to control her abilities. She's what you might call a flirt, and has taken an interest in Cyclops.
Cyclops: Wolverine's kid brother. The two often argue, even though they do love each other. Scott can emit powerful beams of concentreaited EM radiation from his cybernetically enhanced eyes.
Rogue: Born with the ability to absorb energy and convert it into physical power, Rogue is unable to touch anyone without sapping them of their bio-energy and putting them in a coma. She's very shy and lonely, and look upon Logan as a father figure.
The Xaivier institute: A technological research facility and company, which has been involved with many shady dealings in the past. The X-Men have fought representatives of the institute in the past, and Charles Xaivier, the founder of the institue, has taken a very special interest in them.
The Helfire club: A gentlemen's club dating back to the 1700s, the Hellfire club is dedicated to the beetterment of it's members and it's members alone. Origionally just one of the many hellfire clubs, which were groups of rowdy rich men having drunken orgies, this group has survived the ages by becoming much smarter and more sophisticated over the years. They moved from Lodon to Japan in the 50s, where they've held theit base of operations ever since. Prominent members of the Hellfire club include the police comisioner of Tokyo, Charles Xaivier, and Xaivier's two children, Emma Frost and Selene (both have different mothers). The club has major influence over polotics and the economy, especially in Japan, Britain, and parts of America. It has been suggested that Charles Xaivier posseses superhuman abilities of some sort, but what they exactly are has yet to be determined. His daughter, Emma, posseses powerful telepathy. The Hellfire club also has serious ties to international terrorism. Emma Frost is a known member of the Horesmen, a terrorest organization led by the alien inteligence known as Apokolypse.
Apokolypse: Thousands of years ago, a meteor crashed on earth. And from that meteor came a nanotech virus. At first, it was inert. But, as the centuries passed, it gained life and sentience. It realized that it was far superior to any creatures on earth, and realized that it should rightfully be in charge. So, it began it's campaign to end society was we know it. It took the name Apokolypse. It gathered together agents which it calls it's horesmen. They are:
The Angel: A sadistic killer with artificial wings graftd to his back.
Mastermind: An ancient sorcerer who is uneringly loyal to Apokolypse.
Juggernaut: A trong man in a hulking suit of armor.
White Queen: Manipulative member of the Hellfire club who has her own agendas on the team.
The Azure: Proffesor Arnim Zola was a scientist wroking for the nazis during WWII. When nazi germany fell, he escaped, and continues his human experiments elswhere. Eventually, he kidnaped three subjects and subjected them to many tests, many of which having to do with mutinagenic chemicals. While the results were drastically different, they all had one similarity. They all turned blue. Eventually, the test subjects escaped and killed Zola. They became a mercenary group, and are rivals of the X-Men. They are:
Nightcrawler: An impish teleporter with homicidal tendancies.
Mystique: A mysterious shapeshifting killer.
Beast: A hulking brute who serves as the team's muscle.
The Brotherhood: A street gang of superhumans who are often in the service of the Hellfire club, even though they don't realize it half the time. They are:
Iceman: The team's leader. He's cold, calculating, and heartless. He has the ability to absorb heat.
Pyro: A british rocker wannabe, Pyro is very temperimental. Her skin contains chemical glands that genereate flames, giving her a burning touch.
The Blob: A massive shapeshifter. Blob likes to think he's sophisticated and high class, but really he's just a blue collar thug like the rest of the Brotherhood.
Magnus: An electromagnetic demon responsible for the slaughter of Storm's coven. He currently inhabits the body of the robotic killing machine known as Colosus.
The Sentinels: An elite squad of the Tokyo police department, the Sentinels wear high tech suits of armor, and anser directly to the comisioner of police. They are often used as pawns by the Hellfire club. Their feild leader, Forge, has been romantically involved with Storm in the past, much to Logan's dismay.
Toad: A diminutive wise man with frog like characteristics living in the sewers of Tokyo. Logan often goes to him for advice and spiritual council.
