So much of what I liked about Cyborg back in the day stemmed from his relationship with Gar, and, IMO, both characters have suffered since that friendship was retconned / abandoned. Gar's kind of...

Yeah, Nico as a teacher is an odd choice, but it does look like at least some of the students aren't necessarily going to be magic-users / spellcasters so much as magical creatures or descended from...
Interesting in that the three of them seem to have powers from three of the four 'parent' gods to the 'final four' of the Egyptian pantheon (Osiris, Isis, Set, Nepthys). Wind Warrior from Tefnut...
I blame Patrick Stewart. All my life, my friends were losing their hair and I wasn't, and I was winning.
Suddenly, bald was virile? What? No fair! You can't change the rules now, I was...
And yet, as a white dude, I don't find the kids who inherit sole control of billion-dollar companies (Wayne, Stark, Danny Rand, etc.) to be all that relatable, no matter how white or male they are. ...
"It's called a Fastball Special kid..."
"Whatever. I'm not touching your feet, creepy old dude."
The issue where Storm rebukes Wolverine for hunting was, IIRC, the one with Guardian on the cover, bursting up out of the ground to attack the team and bring Wolverine back to Canada.
Issue 109,...
Ooh, and Vanguard, Darkstars brother, and Ursa Major, and any survivors of all those Russian mutants introduced back in X-Factor... Another huge pile of potential, and, being from a different...
Madrox will attend all three of them, but later claim 'it was a dupe, I was drunk, I don't remember anything!'
Which is his go-to defense for paternity suits, too.
Yeah, Justice, Silhouette and Midnight's Fire, from the New Warriors, would be neat. Namora and Namorita have the same 'ankle-wings and crazy strength' mutation that Namor has, for that matter.
...
I feel like he's more of at an in-between stage of his older persona and his New Avengers 'mastermind' development, which feels like a more natural place for him to be than the (IMO, really OOC) role...
Agreed. I wouldn't even mind finding out that, of the two of them, Pietro is the one most concerned with his clothes / appearance / how he's regarded by others. Wanda just goes with whatever, and...
Elseworlds. I've always liked the freedom that AU's have to play around with a character and their mythology without having to worry about leaving everything as they found it for the next writer, or...
The Presence, in the 'radioactive zone' in Russia (sort of the 616 version of Chernobyl cranked up to 11), might find that the innate radioactivity of his region is diminishing (half-life and...
Ooh, that would be interesting. I was pondering a dude being the next Secret, and having him get a 'temp pass' out of Hell, tied to his 'Secret' (he'll go back unless he manages to atone / redeem...
It would be interesting to find out that the Secret identity was a sort of curse imposed on Greta, and when it left her, it didn't just 'go away,' it fluttered off and finally latched onto some other...
Now that Deadpool 2 (with Domino) has shown us that 'luck powers' can indeed be cinematic as hell, it would be neat to see a Wanda Maximoff with actual probability manipulating 'bad luck bolts' and...
Armory was another that interested me from that crew, along with the three Spidey-clones (sadly down to one now), and some of the rarely seen background characters like Red Nine (I still have no idea...
I like how the rest of them can (more or less) fit in, but you apparently can't take Angela or Blade anywhere...
Ooh, that's a cool idea! Drag it away from European mythology, as well, a bit, and, conveniently, make it a bit closer to the 'New World,' where all the heroes live anyway.
Which is my favorite thing about her (and Amethyst). They've got a Super-dude, and a Wonder-chick, and a Bat-spawn, and a Lil' Flash, and a Teen Lantern. Most of the lineup are junior derivatives...
Claremont went a little overboard on Sage, I felt. Rather than strapping a bunch of new powers on to her, I think I would have preferred if he'd gone into more focus on her computer-like brain and...
Ooh, that'd be cool. Some of the older Serpent Society ladies are a bit cold-blooded (Black Mamba and Anaconda come to mind as perhaps a little too 'villainy' to make 'bad girls you like to root...
I like the idea that the 'big bruiser' looking guy isn't necessarily the team strong-guy, that it's actually the much less 'brick' looking Hope. It's fun to mess with first impressions and have the...
Having a woman as the 'pantheon head' (in the role of Zeus, Odin, Shang-Ti, Ra, etc.) is a neat step there, and one reason I wouldn't mind seeing the Japanese pantheon explored more. (Although I'm...
