based on various blog posts Priest has done in the past, allegedly every time he proposes characters, he gets turned down, and the counter-offer usually is bizarro-boy or something from his vantage point in the ultra obscure zone, or a black character that he feels is a typecasting-consolation prize.
For the Marvel world, I'd love to see him write one of the 1960s major characters/teams.
"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark
I'd like to see him as writer of:
1 Captain America
2 Thor
3 Wolverine
4 Silver Surfer
5 Spider-Man (Peter)
6 Daredevil
7 Avengers
8 X-Men
As for my other choices, here's My Top (3) Three:
Thunderbolts
(especially, if it involves Baron Zemo)
The Punisher
(If anyone can top Ennis, it would be Priest)
Dr. Doom
(would love to see how Priest handles Latveria)

Priest's tenure on Conan is largely forgotten today, which is unfortunate. Hopefully he can come back to it full time, soon.

Daredevil
Punisher
Adam Brashear/Blue Marvel

Avengers. I imagine it'd be a more traditional take with a twist, as seems to usually be his style. I wonder who'd he put in the team. But I think he'd be an intresting choice to make an X-Factor book (although I no longer have the heart to read anything that comes from the X-Men side of Marvel).
