Oh my gosh, an Alex Ross Captain Americat. Now I've seen everything. And hey, it's the Brute! (...by Faberge?)

But what's that blue Thing doing here?

But what's that blue Thing doing here?

Always a good question. Also, points to you for being old enough to remember Brut - by Faberge.

How about Gaard? And Matt Murdock, Agent of Shield.

And, of course, 616 continuity also has a Brute who's the Reed Richards of Counter-Earth. It's hard to say which Brute this is offhand.

A tiny little six-armed Spidey?

And who's the big nosed dude to the left of Murdock? Looks like somebody from "Not Brand Echh" (not Forbush-Man), or "Crazy!".

Ooo, well spotted. That's Irving Nebbish, the original and longest-serving mascot of Crazy Magazine (eventually replaced by Obnoxio the Clown).

Reed sure does have a lot of evil versions of himself, doesn't he? Ultimate, Dark Rider, Marvel Zombies...

I don't think What if... the FF all got the power of the Thing? Reed was evil, he just had anger issues
