Mojo is fusing a bunch of people together to make “new” heroes for Jeff to lead a team of. Meet the totally original characters: Dazzlestorm, Magikhot, Wolverine-Man, Rambit, Kate-Locke, and Elsa Strange.

I don’t think Wolverine-Man in the back could work as a skin, but the rest all feel very prime for Rivals adaptations to me?

> Every year, a group of philanthropists gather for a charitable fundraiser…or so their children Alex Wilder, Chase Stein, Gertrude Yorkes, Karolina Dean, Molly Hayes and Nico Minoru thought. When they discover their parents form the Pride, a sinister, sacrificial group that answers to a godly race called the Gibborim, the teens are terrified, shocked and…intrigued? Their destiny awaits, and there’s no running away.

Seems like it is indeed supervillain versions of all of our heroes. Given the way that What If?s usually go, I have a feeling we’re about to see them win and end the world as we know it.

Just read the digital version of it this morning. It’s really good - it has a LOT more depth to its narrative / conflict / message than I expected for a book targeted at a young audience. I kind of assumed it would mostly be Superfamily hijinks, but there’s more to it than that.

Well worth reading imho, especially if you like Kara and Natasha Irons being BFFs and young Jon being a bit of a super menace.
