I'm currently in the process of maybe contemplating doing a "Hero takes over other heroes mantle" But a Marvel character taking over a DC mantle, or viseversa. I'm currently thinking maybe:
*Pietro Rasputin is sick of the Brotherhood, sick of humanity, sick of everyone and everything. Everything is just too slow, the wheels of time, the politics, everyone refusing to listen to each other. Running away from everything he ever knew, he finally runs into a man who moves as fast as he does. Wally West takes the young Pietro under his wing and Pietro has to learn that just because the world doesn't move as fast as him, doesn't mean it's not still moving towards something better.
*Al Rothstein finds out that Terry Curtis, his grandfather, used to work with a "Doctor Hank Pym" in order to find out more about growing and shrinking using atomic power. This lead to the discovery of Pym Particles and his grandfathers mysterious disappearance. Al goes to Hank and working together, he becomes The Ant Man in order to hunt down his grandfather, all the while stopping this mysterious villains that are now threatening the world. Ultra-Humanite and his minion, Cyclotron.
*Magik gets the Helmet of Doctor Fate (And Illyana being pissed that he won't just give her power without taking over. They develop an Eddie-Venom relationship)
*Michael Carter works at the Superhero museum of 2442 stumbles across the suit of one of the greatest heroes of all time as well as a time machine. He decides he'll turn his life around by going back in time and becoming this greatest hero... Arriving back in the 2020's, he decides he'll become
The one and only, SPIDER-MAN!!! Then he finds out that the one and only Spider-Man already exists... But the suit is too cool... So, he becomes The One and Only BLUE BEETLE!!! Then he gets attacked by one Ted Kord wanting to discuss copyright issues... And a friendship the likes of which has never been seen is born...
*Detective Chimp and Lockjaw found the Legion of Superpets.
*Instead of being found as a young man by Jamal Afari, Blade was found by John Henry Irons who built him a suit of armour to fight those Vampires.
*Bailey Briggs got written back into reality but without his spider-powers. Things seemed to be as low as humanly possible for him... Until he finds his way into a myserious cave with an old man who tells him "My name is Shazam. Speak my name and i will give you the powers of the gods..."
*The father of Jessica Drew's baby is revealed... It's Guy Gardner who just buggered off to Oa to become a Green Lantern. Jessica's greatest hope is that one day, she will get to Oa and drag him back to take some damn responsibility... That hope is strong... Too strong... A Blue Lantern ring finds her and Jessica sets off on a trip across space. The Quest to Kick Guy Gardner's Ass! But will Hope be enough?
