Peter Parker during the Draft

I want a storyline of Peter, post Spider Powers getting drafted into a war and then spending 7-10 years in the army.

Just imagine New York, Spider-Man was stopping crime for a year then suddenly JJJ gets a letter telling him "I'm shipping out...duses." and that's the last they hear of Spider-Man for 7 years.

Peter is basically a Captain America without the serum. He's the perfect soldier, protected so many lives and even got himself blown up protecting his team.

Then when he gets back home he immediately gets a new suit, \[i can see the Secret Wars: Civil War Suit being the choice\] rejoin the home front and immediately Things are different.

His fighting style is more refined. Probably getting his mutation during service so shield immediately knows "Oh thats Peter Parker." And offers him a job.

Or Frank trying to convince him to kill like he does and Peter hitting him with "I have killed more men in the last 7 years because my own government told me to...shut the fuck up." The discussion turns into a medal measuring "I have Purple Heart." Frank says Peter chuckles "I have 3." \[With how much Peter gets blown up in the movies imagine active combat fighting specifically to protect his battle buddies?\]

My idea for a Marvel’s Power Pack cartoon series

In my version, it’s a step family situation, like the Brady Bunch.

Alex and Katie are James' son and daughter from a previous wife that passed away.

Julie and Jack are Margaret’s daughter and son from a husband who left them.

The parents dated in high school but had to break up because James was going to college and they didn’t want to have a long distance relationship.

After the kids all got their powers, they told their parent and James and Margaret reunited, and had to mentor the kids on how to control their powers.

During the whole training thing, and their adventures, both families started to bond and become close.

The main villain of season 1 would be Douglas Carmody and the Snarks.

I’m be real I just had a haunting realization about the darkest version of >!possible comic SPOILERS idk how yall handle that!<

Zombie spiderman was said to have eaten ALL LIFE in his universe after consuming and gaining the collective cosmic powers of Galactus and the surfer before popping into another universe to do the same

Didn’t specify just mortal life…

Does that mean..since he ate pure energy beings like Galactus and the surfer..

And he ate all life in the universe destroying it in the process

Does that mean he consumed the abstracts..the pantheons..all the heroes and villains

Immortals..gods and monsters

All of it

Even entities like knull and ego..

Mistress death…the pheonix and Odin forces

Tryco the champion

The tribunal

The watchers

….the beyonder..

And so on

And because he has galactus’ power and literally ate him..does that mean consuming not just flesh but also the essence of something…and if he gains more cosmic power with each he eats…

And he was never stopped and is still multiverse jumping…

Oh my fucking god..

Can someone like

Mull this over with me because the concept actually scares me

What if these characters worked together in WWII?

Highly unlikely that they’d ever actually be together or work together in WWII because of timeline and continuity constraints. But I’m just wondering about what would actually happen in a universe where they did find themselves alongside one another? In a fight against Red Skull and maybe even bigger threats. What would their team dynamic look like and how effective would they actually be?

MCU theories Post Brand New Day

Peter and franklin are variants of eachother.
We will have a moment of spiderman and the fantastic 4 fighting together in secret wars that hints at Sue and Richard being variants of peters parents.
Peter BEN parker, Ben Grim being his uncle ben would also finally complete the MCU uncle Ben Mystery.
Parents names in the comics are Richard and Mary, which is way to close to Richard and Sue of Fantastic 4. The easy fix here is to just do a name change to Sue storm to Mary Susan Storm, like they changed MJs name Mary to Michelle in the MCU. Mary could be her first name and she could just go by Sue
This would fix the weird thing of Mary Jane and Mary Parker having the same first name so no weird wife/mom first name mental hang ups for Spidey.
Johnny storm and Spiderman are good friends in the comics, the MCU connection would be Human Torch would now be Spidermans Uncle, though a variant, they are still family. This connection goes further to Deadpool 3 where we have a human touch variant, and the ending of found family for Logan.
Finally we have the name issue, Peter Parker.
This one is right in front of us, Franklin Peter Parker. He goes by his Middle name, like his mom,Mary Susan Parker.
A Richard Parker being a lion joke as a reference to life of pi would be pretty hilarious also.

What if Tony Stark is alive?

Five years after the battle with Thanos, a strange event shakes the quiet Stark household. While playing with her father’s old holographic tools, young Morgan Stark accidentally triggers a hidden protocol. Every screen in the lab begins to flash with a complex mathematical code. Confused and amazed, she calls Bruce Banner to look at the glitch. Bruce runs a deep scan on the flashing numbers. He realizes it is not a normal glitch or a standard radio signal. Instead, it is a beam of pure cosmic energy. The signal is tearing through the fabric of reality, originating from a dark void between alternate universes.

Bruce quickly activates a quantum communication screen to track the energy beam. A glowing, golden holographic image of Tony Stark flickers to life before him. This projection is not a pre-recorded message from the past. It is Tony himself, speaking in real-time. He explains that during his final battle, his mind worked faster than the snap of his fingers. He used the Mind and Space Stones to separate his consciousness from his dying physical body. His mind was shot into a realm between worlds. For years, he lived there as a being of pure energy, watching different timelines float by like bubbles.

Tony reveals a terrifying truth about his time in the void. A dark, ancient cosmic threat has noticed the tear in reality caused by the Infinity Stones. This entity is now moving through the dimensions, heading straight for Earth. However, Tony's sudden digital return brings heavy emotional weight to his family. Pepper Potts is frozen with fear and disbelief. She struggles to accept this glowing entity, wondering if it is truly her husband or just a painful cosmic echo. Meanwhile, Morgan is filled with joy. She is eager to help her father, even if he is currently just a blueprint made of light.

To save Earth from the incoming threat, Tony needs a physical form to fight. He transmits a highly advanced design to the team, calling it Project Phoenix. The Avengers unite to build a body worthy of Earth's greatest protector. Wakanda supplies a flexible vibranium skeleton for unmatched strength. New Asgard contributes ancient magic runes to hold Tony’s cosmic energy inside the metal. Finally, Bruce Banner wires the complex computer systems. Tony uploads his mind into the machine, stepping forward not as a ghost, but as a living blend of human soul and cosmic power.

If What If...? got a season 4, any episode ideas in mind?

If this were to happen, we should get an episode about Goddess of Thunder Storm. I mean, we see her in the two final episodes of the show, yet we don't see her story. This season should give sense about the X-Men appearing. The variants showed in the final episode should have their own stories such as six-armed Spider-Man, arsenal-wielding Deadpool, Ironheart Punisher, and Silver Surfer Jubilee.

For my case, I want to see this episode idea existing: "What if... Rogue became a Sorceress Supreme?". If Alison Sealy-Smith voiced a variant of Storm as the Goddess of Thunder, I think Lenore Zann would most likely voice this variant of Rogue. What If...? season 4 should give sense about the X-Men appearing on how it's members or their enemies can become different variants in different universes.

Let's hear your ideas next. Oh, and happy 5th anniversary to the show.

Is it still a hot-take to say that Thanos being good in season 1 ep 2 made sense?? (Not to much but like hear me out)

I don’t think that’s completely unreasonable to assume that Thanos would have abandoned his plan if he got good and fair enough arguments to do so. Like I don’t believe he just did it after one conversation with star lord. But star lord demonstrating that there are better ways to save the universe than to doom half of it. The big purple is not inherently “evil” (big quotation marks) he thinks he is doing the right thing and that others are too narrow minded to see that. So of if he got shown a better alternative he would take that.

Absolute Avengers Idea

Basically the same principle of the Absolute D.C universe, where the tables are flipped. Mostly initially starting off with core Tony Stark, Nick Fury and Stephanie Rogers III, as they join to solve the mystery of the Spider-Men and their possible ties to the Hydra Corporation.

Tagline: This world has no heros, it has avengers.

Tony Stark is a mechanic at an autoshop run by his father, Stark N' Sons. His father Howard is a former engineer at the Hydra Corporation, and had passed on his technical knowledge onto his son, Tony, who at a young age, had managed to build various mechanical devices from scratch. Tony hoped to become a prominent engineer at Hydra Corp, despite his Father's firm objections, but was forced to drop out of college after an incident. Since then he worked mainly at his fathers auto-shop, fixing machines and circumventing their anti-repair measures. On the side, Tony, took up work with the mob as a courior to help his family make ends meet.

Eventually, as his family and community is threatened, he adorns a protective suit built with some his custom gadgets, a pair of tire irons, and his trusty car The Javelin, becoming known as the Iron Man.

He does not possess the Arc Reactor, at least not initially, so he cannot fly nor fire lasers. He uses custom made batteries to power his gear, but relies mostly on his technical intuition in tackling a problem. He uses a makeshift mask made from his fathers old welding mask (which he modified without permission as a kid,) with built in multi-spectral cameras, and various armor pieces over his leather jacket. Not quite bullet-proof, but close enough.

During his exhausting vigilance to protect his community, he eventually crosses paths with a man that would change the course of his life. Detective Nick Fury, who requests him to aid an investigation of a decade old cold-case that has begun to finally thaw. The Kidnappings of Peter Parker, Gwen Stacey, and Miles Morales, which may have a connection to various high profile murders that proceeded them, including the recent attempt on mayoral candidate Stephanie Rogers III who is forced into hiding under the Detective.

First they must get in touch with a street gang who may have leads on the case, The Black Widow Mafia, and hope their exchange does not begin or end in a bloodshed.

what if MJ founded the EDITH glasses?

During the fight in Prague while Spider-Man and Mysterio were facing against the fire elemental, peter gives Mysterio the glasses and it seems that everything is going according to plan and Peter leaves, but in the moment of anger and frustration, the glasses aren't Edith glasses their just regular glasses. The real Edith glases are founded by MJ where she finds the drone to show Peter that Mysterio is a manipulating trickster and lair, and MJ is so shocked and awe by what Edith hold within its power and control. She and Peter work together to take down beck, but he's got another one step head of them, he and his crew are able to encrypt the few bites of edith to hjack her, and to use a voice that will command it to say the opposite thing that MJ says.

Peter is about to kill Beck, but a drone shoots him in the head, thinking that he did it himself to trick Peter, no Beck was actually dead. MJ wakes up with her eyes turn blue, and has been corrupted by the Edith because it gave her too much information and is now on too evil and exposes the truth about Mysterio and the crimes he's committed, and becomes a more villainous hero figure than beck was and decides hack into every single device and nuclear codes and becomes a tragic, twisted villain and afterwards starts the apocalypse all over the world. Now she's known as ''The cyber annihilator''

LAS GEMAS

Hey guys! Today I wanted to propose something. What if, instead of returning the Infinity Stones, Captain America decided to do something completely different? What if he used them to create another universe called The Gems? I hope you guys take the time to read this 🥹

When Captain America is about to return the six Infinity Stones, he suddenly changes his mind and decides to do something even crazier. He uses those same six Infinity Stones to create an entirely new universe—a new Earth called Earth-712.

He uses the Stones to create a new world.

With the Space Stone, he creates a location—a place where this new home can exist.

With the Reality Stone, he creates the matter that makes up the planets, including Earth itself, along with its oceans, atmosphere, and physical structures.

With the Soul Stone, he creates life and the souls of every living being that will inhabit the planet.

With the Mind Stone, he creates intelligence, giving these living beings consciousness, thoughts, and knowledge.

With the Power Stone, he creates the energy necessary to keep everything running at 100%.

And with the Time Stone, he establishes time itself, allowing living beings to evolve and create their own stories throughout history.

But this is where things get interesting.

Many years pass, until people slowly begin developing extraordinary abilities—all of them originating from the Infinity Stones.

And that’s where my story begins.

THE GEMS.

But what exactly are The Gems?

They are the source of power within those who possess them. They aren’t physically visible, and no one else can see them. They exist within the person—not inside their body, but within their very soul.

But what do these Gems actually do?

Well, they give their users incredible abilities, such as electricity, fire, ice, poison, darkness... 👀

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Everything here was written by me, Santiago Torres Vera.
