But Marvel has a big deal going with Paramount Pictures now. How would this work?
$4 billion - that's a lot more than the $50 million New World Pictures(now defunct) spent in 1987 to buy Marvel. Didn't end up doing marvel any good.

Awful. Disney has always had an agenda and stringent editorial control over their print and animated media. They hate personality in characters, hate funny drawings, and only approve of safe humor. Look for a lot of fired artists and writers and probably a cancellation of Daredevil and Captain America, not to mention a flood of X and Wolverine books (because that's what sells) if this goes through. Plus, I gotta be against this on the grounds that I generally am opposed to media consolidation.

The X-Men will be de-aged and go back to high school where they will have problems related to product placement and will go to see Miley Cyrus concerts.
The main book they will advertise is an adventure series starring Howard the Duck, Tippy-Toe, and a resurrected Monkey Joe where they travel the world in search of treasure and adventure. Donald Duck, Scrooge MacDuck, and Huey, Dewey, and Louie will be added to the series and Howard's personality will be retooled to more closely match Mallard Fillmore.
