    Why you shouldn't write for Marvel in 5 lines.

    This thread is for those of us who should be staying away from writing Marvel.

    For me,

    I would turn every comic into crazy sex fantasies.

    Red Hulk would have been the third Summers Brother.

    I would bring Gwen Stacy back and have her hook up with Aunt May, think about that tidbit.

    Captain America would develop a heroin addiction.

    Galactus would have a crisis storyline where he feels he has a poor body image and tries to diet. The heroes must bring back his self-esteem before the too many planets crowd up the universe and it gets destroyed.

    Steve Rogers would have stayed dead.

    Thor would be seen as a Jesus-type figure and less of a superhero.

    Daredevil would have lost it because of his horrible life, and stay supervillain forever.

    Iron Man would be the go-to guy in the MU.

    Doom would kill Franklin Richards.

    Aside from the Franklin Richards things, those are actually pretty interesting ideas.

    The thing with villains for me is, they are never truly great villains unless they really hurt you, in a way that you never forget. Hobgoblin is a very popular Spider-man villain among fans, doesn't do anything crazy unlike Norman, but at the end of the day? He didn't do much to Spider-man. Norman, while his insanity has him implode eventually, has managed to hurt Spider-man severely. He will always be Spider-man's greatest enemy just for hurting him. Same goes for Kingpin when it comes to Daredevil. Doom? Great, great villain, but he never really hurt Reed. He won't kill Val, as they have a bond, but Franklin? Reed would never forgive him.

    That was Millar's original intent for the Ultimates, but it kind of got lost in translation. I think it's fantastic though. A God comes to Earth, has all sorts of fantastical powers, you don't think you'd see people making religious connections?

    That is true, but man, I think Doom has earned his place, and I'm not a fan of killing off Children in superheroes, a personal thing.

    Anyways, more reasons for me not writing,

    Did I mention the sex fantasies?

    Ms. Marvel would become the New Dr. Doom

    If I was given free reign, I'd go nuts.
    If I'm working with another, more famous and successful writer on a crossover I'd probably go through their scripts and point out inconsistencies and plot holes to an annoying extent. "Wait, the government loves Norman Osborn that quickly?" "How come Wolverine is now also a ballerina?" "But in my chapter Deadpool skull fucked the guy into oblivion, why is he back?"
    I don't read any X-Men, Fantastic Four or main universe Spider-Man titles.



    Gemini Storm - My first published work. Free Issue #3 to anyone who gets their local store to stock the title.
    Just Another Day - Bikini Girls and explosions.

    T'Challa would have died at the end of Doomwar.

    Everything would feature She-Hulk, Rogue and Squirrel Girl and I would only feature Wolverine in comics that said X-Men or Wolverine on the cover. That second point would disqualify me from ever writing for Marvel as Wolverine needs to be in anything Marvel publishes.
