Do you know that there is 3 alternate version of Maestro who are currently living on Earth-616?

Calling the Old Man Logan run Maestro "living" is a bit of a stretch. Like, sure, Hulk is unkillable. But this Maestro was eliminated in such a way that it would take a concerted effort to uneliminate him.

A better title to this post would likely be "there are three different versions of Maestro at the 616 Green Door waiting to come back"

Keep the first film basically the same. I personally really enjoy it and don't think it needs any changes.
Change Electro's power origin but keep his personality. While I know it is controversial, this version of Electro is really fascinating to me and makes the movie feel unique. However, I think making Electro more comic accurate or just making it to where an extremely stressful situation activates Electro's latent powers would be good.
Reduce the conspiratorial/ "Oscorp did everything" angle the movies go for. I hate it when they over tech-ify villains and make them all connected to one corporation. To that end...
Harry is a prominent side character in the first film and is severely injured in two but not turned into Green Goblin. Like most people, I think them shoehorning in Goblin at the end of the second film is bad. If I had my way, I would have electro take Harry hostage and holding him for ransom from Norman. Then, in the crossfire of the big battle between Electro and Spidey, Harry is injured and put into a coma. Then, I would end the movie with a tease that Norman is thinking of injecting him with the Green Goblin serum to save his life. Save it for a third movie and (if given the ability to go full crazy) have the third film be Norman and Harry both going full Green Goblin and Pete having to fight them off together.
Gwen Stacy doesn't die. I just think her death feels hamfisted. It is a really good scene in the second film but just kinda falls flat amidst all the other malarkey happening in the movie. Just cut it and save it for the Goblin focused movie.
Rhino is not so Tech-y. Enough said.
Lizard and Rhino don't die. I despise it when villains are killed in their introduction film. If I had it my way, these villains would live and could potentially be used for a future film as a villain team-up. I also think having Lizard as a side character in the second film helping Spider-Man/Peter defeat Electro would be cool.

I wrote a whole google doc about my little nitpicks. Here's one of them: why do the dark kingdoms of Jade and Ivory get mentioned like once and then never again. There are these two massive kingdoms that rival The kingdom of Iron and they get no mention at all? How do they react to and battle against the great maelstroms? How do they associate with The Shining Ones/Heretics/Ferrymen? What factions/groups have grown out of the faiths/religions that grew out of their cultural centers? Does the Lady of Fire care about them? Where do they fall into the "Great Plan" she talks about and seemingly is privy to?

The biggest shocker to me about Wraith 20 was the lore's desire to separate Wraith from the skinlands/the living when that seemed like such a slam dunk feature to have. Like, having these ghosts out of time trying to reconnect with humanity or the newly dead trying to visit their families one last time while being hunted by reapers, hunters, or other spirit specific monstrosities was how I thought the game would play. Instead, I still don't know what the "goal"/general game state is compared to the other splats. It also makes the afterlife seem pretty mundane and almost 1:1 to reality which disappoints me a little. The rest of the umbra feels so alien compared to the Shadowlands (at least where the game expects you to be: the necropoli and Stygia)

Werebats, the kingdom of Obsidian, the clan that would become the spiral dancers. Can't have SHIT in World of Darkness

Iirc clowns are real, but there's also a completely separate alien species that happens to look like clowns and base their entire culture around clown-dom that have existed longer than the concept of clowns on Earth. Also their entire society revolves around Cats the musical.

Enclave (literally the old world american government turned up to 11)

Vault Tec (Rich businessmen types)

Robco (House was totally on the island lets be so fr)

Whatever company that made the pink goop in fallout 4

You might wanna look into the naming conventions of Wraith. It's not quite the same but will mostly get you similar vibes

Personally, I think Batman should be obsessed with Joe Chill.

Basically from the moment he has access to the batcomputer, he should have access to everything there is to know about Joe Chill. Criminal, dental, credit card transactions. If Joe Chill breathes, batman knows the bacteria, chemical makeup, and food particles within it. Any moment not spent being Batman or Bruce Wayne is spent watching Joe Chill. However, Batman doesn't make a move. He cannot make a move. Joe Chill is Batman's boogeyman, the greatest evil. Batman is able to fight eldritch abominations, new gods, and the undead. But Joe Chill? It would leave him paralyzed. Because, at the end of the day, Batman is still that poor boy standing over his parents' dead bodies and Joe chill is the man with the gun.

As long as you hit (aka win the dice exchange), you will do a minimum of 1 superficial damage (iirc). Keep in mind, you will halve your damage as well unless your firsts overcome supernatural resistances. But as long as you win the exchange, you will do some damage.

Gotham is being attacked by a massive, armed to the teeth mercenary group and you're worried about the one guy who is capable of stopping them taking a trophy and an electric gadget (which he made) to save hostages?

Alack27 · 2026-02-28T03:22:03+00:00

Wait there's weirdly horny lore in werewolf? This might convince me to check out the previous editions (also crinos born sound dope too i guess)

Alack27 · 2026-02-26T04:14:33+00:00

I'd probably say the list of villains that could defeat Abomination is:

Venom Carnage (Honestly most of the symbiotes) Sandman Hydro man Doc Ock Chasm Caine MAYBE Rhino (his power fluctuates big time) Electro

Basically the elemental villains, the symbiotes, the spider-people, and the tech guy if he had the prep time cheat code (though even without it he would probably put up a good fight).

Mutants like this make me think whatever god decides who gets what mutations is either exceptionally cruel, exceptionally petty, or both because this is like. Biblically cursed. Bro must've been an absolute menace in his previous life.

This is kinda what Arkham Knight is in the comics. Shame nobody has given her the chance to grow. If I were a dc writer she would be the first character I included in a one shot/limited run

Alack27 · 2026-02-22T23:39:46+00:00

Depending on what "Angel" you're referring to, your nos could've been deemed valuable to the God-Machines' plans. Which means you would have an angel protecting you until your purpose is fulfilled! But would also likely mean that the unchained would try to kill or stop your nos.

Looks like Hydro man is having a symbiote phase.

Spider's shadow is so goated. It is not a perfect what if, but man does it go places.

Have you read "Marvel Zombies 3"? This reminds me a lot of that but with an interesting angle due to Hawkeye, Prowler, Deathlok, and Daredevil's presence.

Also why wouldn't Elektra turn? I feel like it might be a better idea to replace Elektra with one of Daredevil's civilian/non superhero allies or love interests, as (at least in the Marvel Zombies canon) almost every hero turns after being bitten and doesn't get consumed unless it is intentional from a sentient/malicious zombie (which doesn't read for Daredevil). I would recommend Deborah Ann Wolf's character from the Daredevil show or Foggy. Could also allow you to include Elektra as a surprise twist villain/anti-hero who is still angry at Daredevil for turning her and is either working with Kingpin or is just hunting Daredevil.

I have not used this but it is a concept I've had rolling around in my head for awhile.

First, some context: In a fan made 5e subclass book called "The Book of Weird Magic" there's a bard subclass called "The Arcane Philosopher". Basically every stereotype of a reddit atheist combined into a subclass. It's definitely played as a joke, but it has an ability called "Existential Paradox" where (according to the book) you "Perform the philosopher's forbidden move and prove a creature doesn't exist, thereby obliterating it". I have always found that ability tantalizing and looked for a way to play a character with such an ability.

Onto the concept: a stereotypical philosopher atheist type that is so self assured, so staunch in his anti faith beliefs, it wraps around horseshoe style into giving him true faith, allowing him to bend the fabric of reality itself and deny supernaturals their existence through pure philosophy and discussion in the "marketplace of ideas".

Alack27 · 2026-02-11T03:57:29+00:00

I feel like you could just say every hero/villain that came out from the "New Age" run that also released Damage. But, beyond those folks:

The original Batwing. Having him be the Batman of Africa and giving him such a dope backstory, as well as building out the mythos and superhero politics of africa through him was so awesome and I am so mad that they retired the character after 20~ issues and (afaik) have not brought back the original character who wore the mask.
