Bucky ...... would be the new Skull

**********************************

Paul, this blows my mind so much, I just had to reply. When Marvel had first announced the idea of "last" stories (as JB has mentioned previously, he was approached to do the "Last Fantastic Four" or "X-Men" stories while still at Marvel, IIRC) I had brainstormed that the unltimate way to end the Marvel Universe proper would be to break the unbreakable rule: namely, Bucky stays dead.

In short, the "Last Marvel" story would center around Captain America rallying earth's heroes against a collection of villains led by the Red Skull. Basically the kicker would be that Bucky never in fact died, but had been "rescued" by the Nazis and injected with a corrupted, "bootleg" version of Super Soldier Serum. This twisted his mind which eventually led to him murdering and then replacing the Red Skull. Although he had thirsted to destroy Captain America for revenge, when actually faced with him and seeing that Cap was willing to sacrifice himself to save humanity, Bucky snapped out of his trance long enough to sacrifice himself instead.

Your last line spoken by the Watcher is classic, btw.

It's been done before ("What If Spider-Woman Had Remained A Villain"), but I'd like to see an expanded version of: "What Is Spider-Woman Had Killed Nick Fury".... What would the ramifications of such an act be on the Marvel Universe?

Nah...that's too far fetched, Chris.

Love the sentiment, though.

I wanted to write a story in which Callisto actually did marry Angel (X-Men #169) and call it "With this Wing I Thee Wed"  -- hey I was 14.

Also, wanted to write a Sentinal versus a Kree Sentry battle.

Thanks for the encouragement, Kevin.

Should the climate over at M****l become more favorable, maybe JB could use my idea as a springboard, should he so desire.  I hereby give him full rights to do whatever he wants with it, up to and including ignoring it completely...

Thanks for the kind words, Chris. Now I know I could have sold two copies. One to you and one to my mother.

"What if the Green Goblin and Gwen Stacy were lovers?!"

"What if the Human Torch had married a Skrull?!"

"What if the Marvel Universe Heroes decided to fight over government legislation?!"

Ok, maybe those aren't such good ideas.

I'm a fan of The Punisher so my choice would be...

What if The Punisher took on The Sinister Six? I'm guessing Castle would need several military weapons in order to even stand a chance against The Sinister Six. I'd favour a two-part story; in the first part, The Punisher would battle each member of The Sinister Six one at a time and barely managing to survive. In the second part, The Punisher would be forced to battle the Sinister Six all at once.

"What if Blob joined the Original X-Men?"

---

I'd buy that for a dollar!

I think that if Cap decided to leave his shield behind before becoming the herald of Galactus,  he'd give it to Sam.
