    I love those two.

    But here is my own.

    There are a few variations of this that could happen, "What if Dr Doom ruled Wakanda."

    What if the Marvel Zombies invaded the Marvel Vampires dimension. There was a What if many years ago, What if Wolverine was Lord of the Vampires. I would love to see that versus Zombies.
    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    What if Proffessor Xavier became "The Kingpin"

    Why? Charles Marko became a favored son of Kurt Marko when his young son cain was killed.

    Instead of being a sycophant opportunist he was a made man in the Russian mafia, and when Charles's mutation appeared he
    overtime became the boss of bosses.

    Replacing bullseye as the most dangerous man alive a fully Slavic tattoed version of Cyclops and many x-figures appear throughout. He expands his
    "family" by integrating mutants into the organization.
    Most of the world is ignorant of the existence of mutants because he hunts down kills an covers up any such mention, as its "bad for business".
    My priority is enjoying and supporting stories of timeless heroism and conflict.
    Everything else is irrelevant.

    Ooh, that one kicks ass!

    My own;

    1) What if Wanda blamed her father for her tragic life and said, "No More Magneto." erasing him from existence? She (and Pietro) would cease to exist, as the boy who would become Magneto died powerless in a concentration camp in WW2. The 'Brotherhood' would need a new impetus to exist, and people to replace Magneto, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch (Unus, the Vanisher, Mystique, Sabertooth and / or Mesmero, perhaps?) 'Cap's Kooky Quartet' would be Cap, Hawkeye and two other people, perhaps other mutants (Beast and Jean Grey?), perhaps Inhumans (Crystal and Triton?), perhaps later Avengers showing up early (Black Widow and Black Knight?). Vision, when he appears, would never have a relationship with Wanda to humanize him, and perhaps slide sooner into taking over the world and becoming more villainous, like he was created to become by Ultron. Billy Kaplan and Tommy Shepard might not exist, and Teddy Altman could be an angrier and different person, without Billy...

    2) What if *five* people went up on Richard's ill-fated mission to space, and the fifth, a Chinese scientist who had defected (and who turns out to be the reason why the mission was unauthorized by the US govt, who regarded her with mistrust), was changed by the cosmic rays so that everyone forgot her existence? Her peer, co-designer of the rocket, and *boyfriend,* Reed Richards, went on to forget she ever existed, and married young Sue Storm! She's taken advantage of her condition and is now a shadowy mastermind herself, behind some of the more successful operations of AIM. (And operations in which she takes a direct hand benefit from her powers, and tend to get forgotten, or, at least, her role in them does, allowing her to waltz out of even 'failed' missions with briefcases full of data and materials...).

    3) What if Hank Pym's first wife, believed to be 'killed by Soviet spies' was actually *a Soviet spy herself, who faked her own death to return home?* Years later, she runs the science city of Koltsovo, turning out high-tech weapons for the Crimson Dynamos and Titanium Men, augmented soldiers to pilot said armors, etc. and has a 'hive' full of chip-implanted people she calls her 'worker ants' as 'the Swarm Queen' using a modification of Pym's insect control and communication technology (and his parallel processing innovations that led to the creation of Ultron) to vastly increase her own mental processing power (as she's using the brains of all her controlled minions) and as many hands and eyes all over the city...

    The clone who calls herself 'Nadia' is the end-game in her plot to infiltrate America's superhero community.
