Totally hypothetical. I know DC's current status and severe efficiency measures have absolutely little to do with cash on hand. They are not in a financial crisis any more than any other major company in this pandemic. Nevertheless, knowing that DC is going to focus primarily on their top characters -- the usual suspects, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc. -- at the expense of mothballing the lesser characters seems like as good a reason as any to wonder, "What If? So let's hear it folks. Which minor DC character would you like to see under the Marvel banner? Which one(s) do you think could thrive with Marvel's readership? For purposes of this discussion, let's assume that the original JLA members as well as anyone on the most recent incarnation of the team is off limits. Let's also safely assume that any character integral to the lore of any of the Big Three is also off limits. (So, no, you can't nab Harley Quinn, Krypto, all of the Amazons, etc.) Those prohibitions aside, everyone else is fair game. Name your pick(s).

Does DC still own publication rights to Static Shock? He was the first guy that poped in my head outside of the big iconic names. With the right push, he could be a break out character.

Martian Manhunter.
He’s a Marvel character in everything but ownership. It’s why he never quite fits in w. the Big Seven.

The Question (Vic Sage version). Marvel needs a good street-level detective.

None. Marvel is Marvel and DC is DC. If it was up to me I'd also bench the infestation of DC characters pastiches that popped into the marvel universe in recent years, starting with the Sentry.
The Squadron Supreme could stay but only because they are the bad guys.

DC is also Fawcett, and Quality, and Charlton, and Milestone, and Wildstorm...

Superman and his entire rogues gallery, because Lord knows DC don't know what to do with him.

Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) . It's time for him to shine (no pun intended) like he did decades ago. He could fit in very easily with the cosmic side of Marvel.

And after that, rinse and repeat.

So many intriguing possibilities. If I can only go with one, Superman. I agree with your reasoning about why Jack. DC has mishandled the Man of Steel and his friends and foes for decades now. Say what you want but Marvel but it is great at epic events and cosmic level stories. Plus, I want to see Hulk and Superman throw down for real with no holding back or handicaps.

Sergeant Rock, Tom Tressor or King Faraday.
Nor would Marvel given how they've treated their Superman clones. Originally Posted by Revolutionary_Jack

I would like to see that to, outside of Daredevil and Hawkeye, Marvel is a bit short on non super powered heroes so I'm not sure how he'd fit in, but I think his rebel personality would sell well with Marvel. Originally Posted by DigiCom

How cool would it be to see him team with Jessica Jones or Misty Knight for a street level PI service with Cage thrown in for the muscle? Originally Posted by DigiCom
