The CRAZIEST Comics Ever Published!

[carsondemmans]

FOr as long as I can remember I have come up with my own stories for popular comic books and tv shows. I recently told my wife one where I wnated Neil Patrick Harris to play DOugie Crane on Frasier, the younger cousin who is much better at Niles and Frasier at everything they love, but is depressed because it is so easy for him. THey sign him up for a tough man boxing contest and he gets his clock cleaned and they fell guilty but when he regains conciousness he says it is the most fun he has had in his life and abandons psychiatry to becomes a pre liminary boxer who loses to everyone to boos their records. SO what sotries do the rest of you come up with?

We ALL do this in our heads all the time, right after reading or watching something we enjoyed. It's just that most of us rarely develop them beyond "wouldn't it be nice if...?" In my case, I have been doing that all my life and even write full fanfics from time to time.

My Holy Grail: to write the Ultimate Marvel/DC crossover, that goes beyond just "they meet and fight". I want to devise a full merged universe- and not in the literal, humorous way that they did in MARVEL VS DC, that is, by merging characters whose names just HAPPENED to sound alike. OK, that was fun in a childish kind of way, but I'm more interested in a serious "what if they always had coexisted?" fashion.

Two characters I have found very interesting in the context of a superhero universe is Gumshoe from ONCE A HERO (anybody remember that one?), and Ulysses from the Pantheon during Peter David's run on THE HULK. Essentially, they were heroes, living in superhero universes, who rejected the idea of the "super" hero, changing it to just doing what's right, and let the chips fall where they may. The former emphasized that if you can't pound the enemy, you actually have to use your brains. The latter had a line on the order of, "Why do superheroes travel in groups? It's because when people laugh at the ridiculous costumes, they can each think that the people are laughing at all the other ones."

This has led me to a favorite concept (that a couple of characters have used; notably Steve Englehart's NIGHT MAN), where a character with relatively minor abilities uses intelligence to back them up, not necessarily facing problems head on but using his or her abilities to their highest efficiency, and backing them up with mundane technology and equipment. Doc Samson did the former (using his psychological knowledge to out-think his opponents, or even talk them out of their opposition), but never took advantage of his connections to equip himself in a way that took advantage of his disproportionate to his size and weight strength (one gadget I had in mind was a hand operated one man helicopter).
