    Default Cosmic switchover. Wonder man, Supes, Flash and Quicksilver

    This is a fun idea maybe. Imagine some cosmic entity on a lark to stick Simon And Pietro in The Dc universe and Superman and Flash in atheism Marvel universe. There is mind buggery afoot so no one remembers it being any different. How does Quickslilver. fare against the rogues? Do things seem a lot Tougher for The Jla all of a sudden. Do the Avengers find life getting alit easier? Past events have unfolded exactly as they did prior to the switch. Simon. Is with Lois and Pietro is with Iris I guess.

    Atheism Marvel Universe? Does that mean no Thor or Hercules?

    Wonder Man has less than half of Superman's power set, so the DCU is theoretically screwed the first time a Superman-level threat comes along. But there are actually quite a few heroes with Superman's flying brick powerset, more or less, so somebody should be able to pick up the slack.

    Kurt Busiek depicted Flash as powerless in the Marvel Universe because there is no Speed Force there. Quicksilver is a lot slower than the Flash, but still should do fine against any Flash rogue without superhuman speed.

    The moment a Reverse Flash pops up though, he's screwed.

    Even without powers, Flash should be able to handle the Quicksilver rogues gallery.

    Quicksilver was on the 2nd generation of Avengers with Captain America, Scarlet Witch and Hawkeye back in the 60's. Also over the years, he fought against Magneto almost as much as he fought with Magneto.

    He needs his powers to have a chance.

    I just checked to be sure, and found this choice quote at Comic Vine: "Quicksilver doesn't really have a rogue's gallery due to remaining a background character for most of his comic history."
