What If???
If you could write a "What If?" type story for Marvel, DC, or one of the other companies, what would the premise be?
If you already have something in mind that you are trying to shop around, you certainly don't have to go into detail, but I thought this could be an interesting discussion.
For example, I would love to script a "What if Tony Stark never became Iron Man" story.
It would go back to Iron Man's origin. Captured by Wong Chu but uninjured by shrapnel, Stark develops Stockholm Syndrome and, rather than secretly develop the Iron Man armor, becomes a Communist sympathizer, lending his technical expertise to Wong Chu. Eventually, Stark discovers a wrecked alien ship of unknown origin and comes into possession of a set of rings which give him a multitude of powers. Donning a mask, Stark takes up the mantle of the Mandarin. As the Mandarin, he becomes Wong Chu's strong-arm enforcer, and wreaks havoc as an anti-American terrorist.
Not sure how I would have that develop or where I would go with it. I think Iron Man would eventually come into being, but I'm not sure who it would be or how.

What if Wonder Woman had never been molded from clay?
What if Clark Kent had been found by some one like Lex Luthor?

With a solid writer, I could see this one being a great one shot. Or even a two or three parter.
I'd love for someone to write a story about Superman experiencing cosmic awareness........., and having it go way out of control ala Genis.

What If Kitty Pryde hadn't the phased the bullet at the climax of Astonishing X-Men?
There would only be a handful of Humans (including mutants here) left, and the majority of them super powered. Where would they go from there?

This actually happened, like 20 years ago
I would also like to see Apocalypse with the power of the twelve. We got a taste of how powerful he would have become.
