Technically one actual Jean, this would be the "real" one, but the Phoenix would still be driven by a kind of mental remnant of the darker sides of Jean's personality.
I would do just about anything to collaborate with PAD.
Cyber's first appearance was pretty unique because it was written by PAD and drawn by Sam Keith. So basically one of my favorite writers with one of my favorite artists. Pretty incredible.
Vibe as a Silver Surfer/Sam Becket-esque character, travelling the Uni/Multi-Verse righting wrongs and kicking ass
Any book that starts with a batman execution is great by me, though I would prefer if Damian stays alive. It makes more sense Than Midnighter taking on the secondary role

I have to admit, taking Damian out is personal. I can't stand the little sh!thead. So getting rid of him gives me satisfaction plus it plays into the whole Joker-getting-his-kicks-by-torturing-Batman scenario.
As for Midnighter - I need a catalyst. Somebody who can push Dick into evolving, taking the next step, becoming the new Batman who is willing to take extreme, lethal measures to end a permanent threat. Damian wouldn't work here, anyway, since Dick is older and would feel obligated to be the role model by continuing to follow Bruce's example. The more Damian would push him the more Dick would resist. So getting rid of Damian serves more than one purpose.
Midnighter, however, would have Dick's respect. Midnighter is a guy who has no compunction in killing bad guys. In fact, that was why he was recruited for Stormwatch and The Authority. Yet, he is in a loving, long-term relationship with Apollo. This shows Dick that while Bruce made the only choices possible for himself, those choices are not the only ones available to somebody who is not Bruce.
Bruce could never kill, because he had issues with killing. But Midnighter shows that sometimes, when you need to kill, you can do so without losing your soul or your humanity.

In this scenario, I see Midnighter not so much being subordinate - rather, supportive. He likes Dick, he likes flirting with him because Dick is so obviously straight and secure in his sexuality that the flirting doesn't really bother him. And like I stated, by the time all this starts they have become friends, good enough friends that they are returning from an off-the-books and off-the-radar mission together when Dick gets the news.
So, Midnighter goes with Dick because he is a bit worried about him and because he cares about him, even though he hides it behind typical tough-guy banter. Being more objective than Dick in this case, he knows that Dick will have to work through his grief and rage and that might make him somewhat reckless and maybe careless.
Plus, he's never been somebody to miss any excuse to walk into a city full of bad guys and kick their asses!
There are so many titles that need to be revisited.
Nova - we should have a book where he goes around solving stuff and exploring the cosmic aspect. Just like we had post-anni.
Exiles - same formula as prior to "xmen die by the sword", a team that explores the multiverse from a non-cosmic perspective, and gets to focus on team dynamic and interesting "what if" scenarios.

Well, daaaamn. Look like I have tapped into the Force or something. I haven't read these yet, but it seems like there are writers who have exactly the same idea I have about the growing friendship between Midnighter and Dick Grayson (which I got because I am reading the Grayson series at the moment). These have just moved up to the top of my TBR pile.
It astounds me that persons say he doesn't suffer from bad writing as a chump.
He's way to damn smart to be working for other super villains, he freakin created the suits and the gauntlets in freakin prison also he's a great safe cracker which isn't some piece of cake thing that most persons can do.
That's why it's utterly Asinine to seriously say he doesn't suffer from bad writing or correction terrible writing.
He makes money from extortion of car dealer Buisnesses, and he uses the money for sports gambling on the outcomes of nba, nfl, college football, college basketball, and other team sports games outcomes.
He loans money to adults that work which for him would be 19 years or older, and is a loan shark. They can decline to pay him back so he demolishes his or her car, bike, motorcycle, etc.
His code is obviously he'll loan money to persons only if they have a job, and are 19 years or older.
Also he won't kill or harm physically a person refusing to pay him back still will demolish his or her vehicle. That for the primary purpose to convince them to pay him back.
Also he hates rapists, pedophiles, child molesters, and persons forcing kids to work in porn. So he won't participate in these crimes, and he also won't aid persons involved in these predatory dreadful actions.
He can be shown stopping these dreadful crimes. He's still a super villain but still 1 with obvious standards.

That reminds me, I'd read a Maria Hill ongoing. She was introduced as a hateful ***** but the character grew on me to the point I'm always happy to see her appear. MUCH less deserving characters have gotten their own books. She's probably sitting on a ton of big secrets, lots of story potential.
