I regret that you're not working at DC or Marvel as the Editor In Chief because these ideas you have are so much better than several of the ones they dropped on us readers such as Sins Past, Brand New Day, the Spider Totem or Battle For The Cowl( Which was a lame version of Knightfall and Reign Of The Supermen). Maybe someday you will get your shot, bro! I love your idea about the Eradicator, Gav!

A "What if..." I wouldn't mind seeing are... -What if Eric Never Became Magneto?: A young Eric Magnus is rescued by Captain America from the concentration camps just as his powers manifest. Being the nice guy he is, Cap. takes the boy under his wing and Eric becomes his sidekick, Bucky. With his magnetism and being interviewed on the horrors he faced in the camps helps fuel America's disgust toward the Nazis (thus granting more support for the allied cause), WW2 ends much sooner. Maybe even mutants will not be as hated since that originally would've been a terrorist is now a war hero. Now the fun comes if this Captain America gets frozen.

I did buy New Excalibur, after all. And I like Endless Mike's idea of S.H.I.E.L.D. pulling out the "big guns." Maybe put one in the hands of a "pacified" Red Hulk. I think Red Hulk would work as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in an Ares sort of way, and having a big red psycho as the face of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the series will make the metaphor Gavok is going for a wee bit more obvious. As for a mini-series follow up to a What If issue, there is one I would like to see: The further adventures of Hulk, Jarella, and the Defenders of K'ai from What if Hulk had become a barbarian (Series 1, #23, with one of the least impressive titles ever). Sure, it runs the risk of going where Planet Hulk has gone before, but with a unified Hulk/Banner, a mystic, deific villain, and the possibility of a happy ending, I think it would be worth doing.

People didn't fear you for being a mutant, but they did treat you as a novelty. It's somewhere on my Top 100 list. They did do an issue of that, co-written by Warren Ellis.

With or without the AoA stuff, that'd be interesting to see. Ooh, also What If Legion had Succeeded in Killing Magneto? With or without the AoA stuff, that’d be interesting to see.
