I've ALWAYS wanted to do a JSA like title with Marvel's war heroes but never got the team/balance right (the fact Cap etc were always busy on every site didn't help). I've had them all! Zemo, Nuklo, America Chavez, Blue Diamond etc it's still a dream.
I had two other historical ideas too:
Apocalypse Imagine Conan the Barbarian but staring Apocalypse back in ancient times of Egypt/the world trekking across the world. He'd always be walking the line between hero and the man that he will become. Think of him Vs a time travelling Cable, Him Vs an ancient Moon Knight cult, Vs The Black Panther of the time, Eternals, brining the Savageland under his heel, Kree invaders, The Inhumans....oh the swords and sorcery fun. Really build the old Marvel universe.
'SHIELD' anthology Good ideas need stealing. I wanted to take Hickman's SHIELD idea (maybe under a different label like Zodiac) looking at this team of heroes/villains/fixers throughout time and look at the MU all the way through its history. The mutant centurion stationed on hadrians wall to keep the scottish at bay and what happened when a Scot God comes calling. Seeing Black Knight Vs Thor when the vikings tried to take the UK coast. The steam punk iron man of the british empire vs The Black Panther when they tried to take Wakanda etc

The lost and lamented Marvel Volume 1 fanfic site had a great series set in World War II, Liberators, written by the spectacular Jess Nevins. He made a one-issue Golden Age character, Challenger, into one of the biggest badasses ever. The only thing left of it I could find was this ratmmjess.tripod.com/castlist.htm , a cast list for the annual which involved the M'Kraan crystal and thus heroes from multiple realities. This was one of the first fanfics I ever read and the reason I don't ever dare tackle the Invaders.

Oh yeah, marvel has some great Golden age and ww2 characters. I had a lot of fun writing the WW1 team, the Freedom's Five ( subtle plug) and would love to do more with them as well as Marvel's immortal and legacy characters.
We learned almost nothing about Ulysses Bloodstone before they killed him and the Eternals have been around for centuries and we mostly only see them 'now'. So much room for amazing stories!
While not huge Hickman fan, I did enjoy his historical SHIELD. The political infighting amongst conspiracies was annoying, but the little flashbacks were aliens would land in ancient China or the Roman empire and the idea of what were the teams like that fought them off sent my little fanboy brain reeling. So many ideas and never enough hours in the day to write them all.

Having seen him return in nova this week I've been reminded that I really wanted to write The Captain.
Think Hancock or Irredeemable Ant-Man but like early Hancock all the way through. A drunk superpowered guy who doesn't really want to be a super-hero but ends up doing it regardless. Bad mannered, just as likely to get arrested as arrest someone etc
It'd be fun. (I was going to try working him into Gunhawks after I'd wrote a one-shot on them which I really enjoyed)

Hancock had the potential to be one of the best superhero movies not based on an actual comic, until you get to the last half hour and then it just falls apart and you understand why no one scooped up the comic rights .
I don't know if it counts as 'jerk super heroes' but I do enjoy every now and then writing those characters whose solution/specialty is punching the problem until it stops being a problem.

Yeah, once they got into Hancock's origins and how his powers work, the film became a mess. That's why The Captain is so much better. Kind of dumb guy is given powers by aliens, move on
But woah, he just appeared in Nova and is now Marvel canon? Okay, he needs to meet the Ultimates stat, just so he can do the worst ever pickup line on Ms. America.

Yeah, it's weird how Nextwave started as a gag comic and has gradually been incorporated into the actual MU.

I'd really love to write a properly cosmic comic - and I've spent a lot of time developing ideas for an Ultimate universe, so perhaps a completely self contained world?
So, I guess -
Spider-Man (Yeah, I know) X-Men (My version of this is a bit weird. I either oscillate towards the new X-Men taking over, So Quire, Armor, etc and them doing their own thing, or my weird ass Uncanny X-Men storyline which involved Cyclops and a group of temporal or transdimensional X-Men fighting off a Cosmic Apocalypse and his Chronovore Horsemen. FUN.) Hercules! Cosmic STUFF Ms America Solo Ultimate Universe Yellowjacket Illuminati Star-freaking-Brand Squadron Supreme
SO...Quite a bloody list there, right?

M2-Kaiju I like Kaiju, Kaiju are real in the MU whether its Fing Fang Foom or any one of Jack Kirby’s glorious 50s-60s monsters. When all of the Kaiju and giant monsters begin to leave Monster Island, the depths of the oceans, The Savage Land and wherever else monsters dwell and begin to head into the populated areas of the world a team of scientists, soldiers and heroes come together (Sentinel Squad O*N*E. Jimmy Woo and American Kaiju….he’d be the main star twisting it a bit from the current MU, MOLE MAN?) to fight the monsters and get to the source of the problem. City destroying, monster stomping fun!
And one I’ve worked up a little ‘sting’ for….
Weird World It is well known that in all universes there lies nexus points, cross over points between the different planes of reality but there also runs throughout each world fault lines and fractures. Cracks through which you can fall through with no hope of return. This is Weird World. The home of all the lost and dispossessed. There are kingdoms, fiefdoms, empires and free lands within the bounds of Weird World where if you take a wrong turn down a street in your own world you will find yourself. Dinosaurs, Magma Men, Witches, Wizards, Gods, lost planes, downed saucers, Aztec Priests, Nazis and heroes fill the worlds. The swamps are filled with the Man-Things from worlds which never existed.
Anywho yeah a swords and sorcery epic filled with every concept you can think of just rubbing against one another. I thought it would be cool to throw in all the characters who are no longer in continuity/ceased to exist i.e. characters from What If, Godzilla himself, that version of the girls on the metro who you never worked up the nerve to talk to who in an alternate world became your wife, your best friend’s little brother who thanks to ripples from Kang’s meddling with the Avengers was never born (but remembers you well)

Holy. Crap. I so wanted to/half started writing a Sentinel Squad One series for AV before it all sorted folded. The idea of characters who piloted specific sentinels and other such techniology to fight, contain and preserve Kaiju's is something I love! It started off as wanting to do giant robots and turned into something so much more! Hm. Fancy co-writing, my friend?

Loved Jason Aaron's Weird World. Everything after that mini was pretty blah. Be cool to see a M2K version.
Love the idea of talking all the marvel monsters and turning it into a kaiju-centric type story. Very clever take on all those 60's monster comics. Forget sentinels though, you need to bring back Red Ronin!

I'm still working on some e-book projects starting with a serial series called "Twisted The Bunny." Think of it as Roger Rabbit meets Five Nights At Freddy's meets Nightmare On Elm Street. I'm also working on a Daria reboot series for Wattpad and the TMNT reboot there as well. I might try and do some script stories like Family Guy and Simpsons together in the Fall. I still haven't forgotten the Munsters/Addams Family project I been working on.

I want to say that at this point, I've written just about everything I've ever wanted to. Between M2K, Marvel Omega, and the closed sites of DC and Marvel Anthology, and what I'm doing at Fanfiction.net, I'd say that I've got just about all my cases covered.
The only series I'm not writing is a TMNT series, which I do have plans for as soon as I get the energy to write more than just the first issue.

TMNT used to be part of M2K. Dino wrote a bunch of stuff for it. They were even part of a site crossover event. So strange...

Yeah, I saw those on the old site. I don't recall Marvel ever having a TMNT series, just the Archie related one. Although that would have been awesome to have a Marvel U with TMNT, G.I. Joe, and Transformers all co-existing with the usual Marvel players.
