I realize it no longer works in current climate but it would have been fun.

Claremonts entire run to me seems like wasted potential never lived up to. It was full of WAIT WHAT? AND WHOSETHAT? Dont get me wrong hes my top five on the book, but I felt a lot was rushed since he left.

Iconoclast has been mentioned. I mean come on, a new alien being comes back to kill the future mass murderer Sue Storm and we see nothing about that again...ever.

Yes, I'll bring it up. The whole Val, Sue, Doom, Reed thing. I know they pigeon holed the whole thing into the Abraxas nonsense, but I'd have liked to see what Claremont REALLY intended with Val and her future. I know everyone will say it was Reed in dooms armor. But that Val is actually distinct from the one first glimpsed in like FF #11. There is a different Val, Frank and Sue. Its listed as a different universe than our Vals.

Hitch, Hickman and others have shown a non-creepy Sue-Doom future. Where there legit in a non-mind control relationship (sort of).

I wouldnt mind exploring sue with other people (in different futures that is, not 616).

For that matter, Abraxas. Shows up. Gone. We see alternate timelines. I'd love the Sue remains malice timeline explored.

And what about Abraxas all together. In a silver surfer mini when Galactus dies, he says he held back something terrible.

Then we get Abraxas. Boo. That isnt what the original idea was. I'm certain of it.

And Calcedonia? Gone. She was cool
On Caldonia, that was another alternate universe, where teen Valeria came from when she was a von Doom. Then that snapped shut when Reed used the Ultimate Nullifier, and Val was gone - not altogether, but as a baby in Sues womb now.

Something happened there, that was like wishful thinking by Reed holding the ULtimate Nullifier, and later, when Doom helped with Vals birth. You get the impression on some level Reed wanted to make a family link to Doom by making Val Dooms relative. None of that was explained, but it is my contention that whole incident led to Doom being part of the the FF today. You can’t avoid it. The way Doom insinuated into the FF after Secret Wars 2015, is the reconciliation of Reed and Victor through Val. The Val that was a von Doom, (and also how Doom made Sue and Val his family in SW2015). None of that is coincidental, to my mind.
