How Wonderful! posted:He was I think, at the very end of John Francis Moore's run he fights a pretender to his identity and finds out his whole backstory. Doom 2099 was really good although I'm disinclined to revisit any Ellis work-- I remember that when he takes over the US he appoints the 2099 Punisher as the Minister of Punishment which is fantastic. Yeah, then he turns into a fascist (even more of a fascist) and dies.

W.T. Fits posted:I had this one as a teenager, and if I remember right, at first they can't do anything about the extra four arms, but eventually Mr. Fantastic remembers that he had some leftover technology from a time when the FF needed to simulate their powers, and he basically creates a set of four arm-length gloves that lets Peter turn his arms invisible so he can go back to having a secret identity (they don't go into how he'd have to modify his clothes to account for the fact that his arms are still physically there, just invisible now). Also, having the extra arms lets him save Gwen Stacy somehow. That’s not the first time this came up. Back in the 90’s there was Mutant X (basically “before Havoc got killed in a big rear end bomb blast, he actually was blown into an alternate universe where he got to be the big hero.”) In that universe they showed that Peter kept the extra arms, and it showed him defeat Norman Osborn and save Gwen Stacy’s life at the same time.

Heck, you could also roll out some of the characters who were retconned. So maybe Blue Marvel comes out of retirement, Jessica Jones came out of her coma right when Galactus showed up. Maybe Professor X telepathically calls everyone in to save the planet like he did in that What If? where Rick Jones dies during the Kree-Skrull war.

Didn't Sue once use her force field to crack a celestial's armor? A what if where she gets that kinda power early and just one shots Galactus.

My current thought was going to involve Galactus getting shrunk down into the Micro-Verse with Pym Particles or something along those lines, though honestly I wouldn't really focus on it much anyways as there's other way more interesting concepts to explore

Have the Wasp and Ant-Man sabotage his World Conversation machinery so that it plugs into a source of Pym Particles and shrinks Galactus that way.
