What's an Elseworlds/Alternate Earths idea you'd want to see added to the main 616 universe? I really like the idea of Pym, Doom, Reed, Tony, and Bruce all being college friends.
>>
>>155567916
I don't like it but mainly because Venture Bros satirized the concept too well that I can't take it seriously anymore.

>>155567916
I would kill to make that one Civil War What If? where everything worked out in the end canon
See also: the Planet Hulk one where Hulk became the protector-god of a nascent species

Why does Reed look like Jim Lee’s Bruce Wayne?

I like OP's premise but I feel like they don't have to share a dorm or even classes. Banner, Richards and Doom are easy enough to explain being aware of each other on the same campus if the same figures were skimming the world for the smartest people to do their various dirty work.

Tony's set though, financially and with a career, so even if Reed and Doom's roots were changed to happen at MIT Tony still has no reason to be pulled into something he doesn't have authority over, though he ends up involved with defense anyway so it would be fine if they ran into him during joint-projects with Stark Ind.
Henry could be who replaces Doom in robotics and use the resources to find Pym Particles, it would grease where the idea for the name G.I.ant Man came from.

All in all, unlike DC's approach to making superheroes government programs that achieve nothing, I like this one more since all the figures do become significant influences and their lives are equally shaped beyond just a power origin. They understand the dangers of intelligence and authority combined but unchecked.
I'm not commenting on Heroes Reborn

I've been thinking about reading Heroes Reborn. Is it actually as bad as everyone says?

I don't think it's enough to base a full alternate earth on, but I've always wanted to see someone tackle a what-if scenario where Pym went full villain from the start.

Most of the hate it got was from people who freaked out about it replacing the mainline versions (keep in mind that at the time no one knew it'd only last a year) and "lol liefeld," "90s are le bad" drones. It has its serious problems but I would rather read it over a lot of Marvel comics made in the last 10, maybe 20 years. That's not saying much though.

>>155567916
Come up with your own ideas, bud.

what about that? and wasn't that mephisto who made those guys?

>>155569989
Heroes Reborn FF is probably the best "alt earth reboot" Marvel's done though at the cost of losing about a decade of soso opera lore built up over the Byrne, Stern, Englehart, Simonson, DeFalco run as well as the guy punch of losing the additions to the FF family DeFalco added (Ant Man, Cassie, Lyja).

Heroes Reborn Cap is a train wreck with no redeeming values combined with shit like Great Replacement Theory and Hollywood trying to social engineer an anti-white woke dystopia being treated as racist conspiracy theory only for both to turn out to be 100% true

Heroes Reborn Avengers TRIES to be a return to Bronze Age Avengers and is where we first got Wanda with a non mutant origin and Hawkeye being a murder happy vigilante and Thor as a dudebro. Simonson does course correct, confirming Hawkeye is Clint instead of Wolverine pulling a Supergirl/Sensor Girl con like Loeb wanted (and eventually canonized in the 2000s) but Walt explicitly brings back OG Thor midway through the run to shit on HR Thor, who died in #11, which is the last ISS before the two crossovers that close the series

Finally Heroes Reborn Iron Man is a train wreck because it was supposed to be an Iron Man/Hulk team up book, but PAD threatened to shoot up marvel if Hulk got cancelled for Heroes Reborn so they dropped that aspect. Jim Lee created Rebel solely because editorial wouldn't let him use James Rhodes and Lee also had it in his head that Doom should be Tony,'s arc enemy. It's shit but given that it saved us from Teen Tony, it's either a love hate book.

It later came out Mark Waid conspired with Wizard to kill Heroes Reborn because he was pissy that he got fired for low sales (lower than Gruenwald's final years) on his Cap run.

It’s weird, I’m not a fan of Liefeld’s art but he seems like a cool dude who really likes comics. He’s fun to listen to, but then there are artists I do like who seem a lot more dry. Makes me wonder if there are any artists who can also talk comics in a fun way.

>>155567985
Because it's a B/W image and he doesn't have his grey temples.
>>
>>155575421
Where? Cause it makes Wizard shitting on Waid's return to Cap in a review ironic in retrospect
>>
>>155575397
>Heroes Reborn Avengers TRIES to be a return to Bronze Age Avengers

I agree with this part, for all the problems I had with it, it feels more Avengers than most anything since Bendis onwards

Anon is making shit up.

This one's kind of crazy, but I'd like to see Peter Parker be happily married to Mary Jane Watson.

>>155567926
As they should. I could see it working in an adaptation that really needs to consolidate things for time but there's no reason they would ask be going to the same college. IRL there isn't one school in Manhattan that all the smartest people go to, there's multiple and much like a sports draft they usually go around courting students who would be this extraordinary offering them scholarships, fellowship programs, and/or labs and research grants so they'll go to their school in particular.

And that's without getting into the fact that they should all be different ages, meaning they went to college at different times, and that some of them (Tony and Doom in particular) should have just had private tutors coming to their estates to teach them rather then actually attending a university.

Based. Would read.

What If Magneto had some self-awareness from the start? He and Professor X work together the entire time, the Sentinel Program is shutdown hard before Trask even gets to present it to anyone. Mutants end up completely integrated, with the Avengers being an amalgam of both groups.

Maybe the Phoenix Force manifests completely differently and different people are influenced. Maybe you could make a story that merges Days of Future Past and also Age of Ultron. Maybe Civil War goes completely differently with prominent mutants at the table.
