If you were a comic writer, what is that one storyline idea you would make a reality?

Here's one idea I have: Spider-man and MJ had a child that Norman Osborn kidnapped and ran off with, never (if not rarely) to be mentioned again, assumed dead. My Idea is that Osborn has been keeping the child secret, training her and raising her up to hate and kill spider-man. She would have her inherited spider powers. She would know Spidey's secret identity, but not that she is his daughter(yet). She would be a willing cog in Osborn's plans. From there I imagine it being one of Osborn's grandest assaults against Peter Parker yet.

I've had several ideas for stories:

Set before the reboot (though would be adaptable once they get together), Lois Lane gets cancer. She'd survive, obviously, but it would give me the chance to explore how deep their relationship is, and i'd finally get to write the Lois I always thought I wanted to see. The story would be focused mainly on Superman, and him slowly losing hope as all of the Kryptonian technology in the world can't cure her. We get to see him hit rock bottom, and how it affects those around him when the Man of Steel doesn't feel like fighting for truth and justice. That he's starting to wonder why, with all he's done, he's being punished like this.

Some key scenes would have been:

Superman accidentally kills one of his villains.

Consumed by rage and frustration, Superman finally loses his shit and flies to a dead solar system and just starts smashing planets, shouting and cursing the gods for what's happening. It would be somewhat reminiscent of the scene in Lois and Clark when, finding out Lois is with Luthor, Superman flies to the arctic and does a proper "nooooo".

Superman (in costume) going to Lex, and revealing his identity, and asking him to save Lois. Lex agrees to help, and eventually cures Lois, but Superman owes him, which would set up future issues.


Other stories:

Aquaman travels back through time to when Greek mythology wasn't mythology at all, and goes up against some of the greatest monsters that have ever lived.

An X-Men arc where Emma confronts Cyclops for all of the horrible things he'd been doing, and she finds out something about him that would be a big twist.

I had an idea for an Avengers story. Basically, set after Secret Invasion, a dead Cap and Thor come to Hank Pym, telling him that Janet's soul is in danger. So the three men set off to the afterlife, and it's basically my big "three heroes go off to war to save the princess" kind of story. We'd see the loyalty that exists between the three Avengers, and how much bromance there is between them.

I have others, but those are my four biggest wants.

I Like the last one eventhough Cap/Thor/Iron man is my preferred friendship. I also would like a Ironman/Captain America ongoing in the same vein as Superman/Batman. Like them, cap and iron man are two sides to the same coin, hero of the past meets hero of the future. They compliment eachother amazingly.

Also I like that superman idea too. Its interesting to see him cope with things that should tear most people down emotionally

Doctor Strange vs. The Living Tribunal rematch

I'm a comic writer, I'd make real the stories they let me publish -too lazy to self-publish-.

I know that Cap/Tony/Thor is a more central relationship, I just want to see how Hank Pym interacts with the two, and to see that bonds forged by the oldest of Avengers still remain to this day.

I had one:

Superman/Thor: Last Son of Asgard: Not a typical crossover, but more of a what if/elseworlds story. Essentially, the premise is that during the last days of Krypton, Jor-El sends his infant son via rocket to escape the doomed planet, but instead of reaching Earth, baby Kal is instead enveloped in a strange extra-dimensional storm caused by the overloading of various high tech Kryptonian machines, effectively sending him to Asgard instead.

Kal-El crashes in front of the royal palace of Odin, and after some consideration, is brought into the family, raised alongside the likes of Thor and Loki. Curiously, in spite of him being a mortal, Kal-El has raw physical might that rivals even the mightiest of gods, which endears him to both Thor and Odin. And while he's not proficient in magic (and even seems to be more adversely effected by it compared to the Asgardians), earns the begrudging respect of Loki due to his intellect and wit, being the one person who seems to be able to compete with the trickster mentally. Loki plots to remove Thor so that he would be next in line for the throne, but Kal always seems to get in the way, thwarting his plans. Eventually, Loki discovers the craft Kal arrived to Asgard in, and with some experimenting, activates the crystals inside, effectively learning all there is to know about Kryptonians, something that was previously only known by Odin.

The series would eventually lead to Kal accepting Thor's punishment of banishment to Earth to appease the Frost Giants, a scheme orchestrated by Loki in secret. Incensed that Kal's accepting Thor's punishment, Loki weaves a special spell, having deduced that his strange powers are given to him by sunlight, effectively cutting his body off from absorbing it. As such, Kal is powerless when he's sent to Earth and sustains a brutal leg injury in the process.

Eventually, the story reaches the point with Ragnarok being set in motion as Kal struggles to live among human mortals, making ends meet as a lame legged journalist named Clark Kent. The Twilight of the Gods finally happens, but Odin manages to save both his sons the only way he knows how: stripping them of their respective divinity and sending them to Earth with altered memories, subtly shifting reality in the process. Thor is given the alter ego of Donald Blake, and Loki is given the alter ego of Lex Luthor. In the process, Mjolnir falls from Asgard, hitting Earth.

While on a trip to Norway covering a international summit of LexCorp technology, Clark - working for the Daily Planet alongside Lois Lane - is forced to act when the LexCorp tech goes haywire, causing chaos and devastation, namely in the form of unleashing a horde of Frost Giants! In the crisis, Clark and Lois fall deep into a cave, which is threatening to collapse at any moment. Donald Blake, on scene as a medic, is drawn to help the civilians as best as he can, while Lex Luthor (having secretly planned the whole thing) is impressed with the results and oddly enough, takes a personal sense of joy from watching the chaos. The two briefly glance at one another, almost feeling a sense of recognition before dismissing it.

In the cave, Clark, desperate to save Lois even at the cost of his own life, finds a stick, using it to shift the rocks just enough for Lois to escape, but not before triggering a collapse. But as the cave drops, the stick suddenly transforms into the hammer, Mjolnir, effectively transforming Kal from his powerless mortal self to his fully powered Kryptonian body. Easily escaping the cave and saving the day, Kal realizes that if Mjolnir fell to Earth, then something dire has happened to Asgard. Resolving to put both his Kryptonian powers and the mystical hammer to good use, Kal becomes Earth's newest and greatest champion, using Mjolnir to cleave through dimensions, returning to the ruins of Asgard. While there he discovers the fate of both his Kryptonian home and his adopted one, resolving to honor both as well as the world of mortals.

Meanwhile, the transformation of Mjolnir triggers in Donald Blake all his previous memories as the God of Thunder and does the same for Lex Luthor in his previous life as the God of Mischief. Eventually Kal and Donald (Thor) meet one another as brothers. The Odinspell placed on Blake allows him to lift Mjolnir, but doesn't trigger his transformation back to Thor. Nevertheless, Blake offers to aid Kal as best as he can as an expert on Asgardian lore, confident that the rest of the gods live among mortals and can be found. He also notes that if the gods somehow survived Ragnarok, so too could their enemies.

The story ends with Lex Luthor attempting to merge both technology and ancient magics to undo the Odinspell to return to his godly formand get his revenge on both Kal and Thor.

I had a lot of time on my hands, apparently.

So many fanboy tears will be shed.

Nice premise though.

I'm sure I'd get plenty of hate mail from both sides.

That's....very detailed

That's an excellent idea for a comic.

I think I would have gone in different directions with it but definitely sounds thought out and good. My favorite part was the idea of Loki becoming Lex. It seems oddly fitting for him.

Damborgson would make Pak go "Dude, tone it down".

I don't like Raoul's Superman story idea (lol, I know).

JakeTheBank's idea I really like, probably because it's not hindered by continuity, and thus he didn't feel the necessity of having random displays of power - just good old fashioned intriguing story and character development.

I'll try to post an idea this weekend.

One more comic Idea I have, not really related to Marvel or DC, more in line with something out of Image. It's a detailed one:

It's centers around a 17 year old boy just trying to find his way in high school. One day on a field trip a red watch latches onto his wrist painfully. He cannot remove it so he hides it and tries to continue his life as a normal teenager but every once in a while, the pain shoots through his arm causing intense pain and blackouts(awkwardly at school and in class at times). Just when he's at his wits end, one day he is contacted by what appears to be an attractive young woman, him being a young kid trying to get some, he goes along with her. This is actually a humanoid machine named MOBA using a hologram(haven't figured out what that stands for, I just know that's her name as I picture it)

She tells him that he is one of the "chosen" and how humans are not alone in the universe. There have been aliens visiting earth for centuries and attempts at hostile takeovers that have been thwarted and covered up for years. I won't give the name of them but if it's reminding you of anyone, this is inspired by what I would call a mature take on the Power Rangers. MOBA is their link to the peace keeping organization that wants to recruit him, and she will be a central character to the story. Our hero is eventually told that he was chosen to lead the team (red or colors with red like purple or orange will be team leaders)

The watch is highly sophisticated tech that allows the liquid tech called Skyn to form an armor over the wearer. It provides super strength, speed, enhanced reflexes, advanced tech, universal translators, and knowledge of many forms of martial arts as long as the watch is on(the more MA knowledge the wearer has without the watch, the better they'll be with it)Each armor has a unique power up and weapon that keeps every wearer different. The power ups are important plot points and can actually be traded, given away or stacked.

Anyway, our hero is asked to help the peace keeping organization in charge of extra-terrestrial affairs on earth. They tell him that after transformation, he can remove the watch at anytime or tell them he wants to quit. The kicker is the organization offers many benefits and pays handsomely (there will be some shady affairs going on in the organization) After reluctantly accepting, he becomes the red Skyn wearer and eventually meets up with the yellow and blue skyn wearers, another cocky young man(yellow) and An Asian girl(blue) and they get to work. As it goes on they get a green and pink skyn wearer and what starts out as a job eventually escalates into a war.

The kids spend years together and become close friends and in some cases lovers. The main point of this story will show the slow transformation of normal high school kids(who will be drinking, partying, having sex etc,) into true hardened warriors. There will be many more recruits coming in representing many different colors, also different teams. Quite a few Skyn wearers will die and will have to be immediately replaced(another important point of conflict) The combat is bloody and brutal, eventually there will be some truly gory stuff

The coolest thing I see here is the transformation of our hero from nice kid to hardened leader who is going to have to make some phucked up decisions to keep the earth safe. Eventually he's gonna have a whole lot of responsibility and people looking to him for what to do next. The whole thing starts out breezy and fun, it never really loses the fun, but gets pretty damn serious the further along it goes.

I'd actually really like some feedback on this one. What do you guys think? If you got any ideas or suggestions I'd like to hear em.

The entire premise sounds like it's sole purpose is to put them in a comic book versus forum type scenario. Where is the actual emotional connection or story?

Sorry if I gave you that impression. The "VS" aspect is the part I like best about it. But it's deeper than that.

Here's what happens after the Juggy/Hulk fight and Gladiator/Thor fight:

Now that Beyonder has confirmed his interest in them (searched their minds for some of their most challenging opponents) he sifts deeper into their souls. He looks at the emotions they felt during their battles throughout their respective histories. He notices that though the Hulk and Thor fought constantly, after every fight (most of which were inconclusive) the two craved another. He noticed the fear in Hulk's heart after he realized what Thor could do (flasback to Hulk annual #25). Hulk feared Thor opening the heaves on him just as much as Thor feared Hulk's physical might overshadowing his own (flashback to Thor #385). Of course neither of the two expressed the fear outwardly, as it was deep inside themselves. Beyonder keeps sifting through them, looks at their hearts, sees nobility in Thor, pride, a genuine good nature. But buried in another level of Thor's being is something else that the Beyonder can't quite recognize, when he tries to force his mind into it, he's rebuked. He can't identify it, but it makes him take caution.

So instead of digging deeper into Thor, he takes a look through the Hulk's soul. He sees the world through his earlier primitive "savage" days. He feels the shouts of fear, the scorn and persecution. He sees the destruction caused by his rampages but feels compassion instead of looking down on him. He looks at his experiences on Sakaar and the way his mind gained structure to it. In a sense, he turns into a Hulk fanboy lol. He's fascinated by both and sees that they huge differences they have, both want the same thing from the other. One last glorious battle to end the doubt in their minds. Both want to win and both are excited by the thought that they might not.

That's when Beyonder starts creating the planet for them to fight on.

I'm still writing the fight and end result, so I won't reveal to much about it, but I'll post it once it's done.
