I have a question about the opinion on mutants elsewhere in the Marvelverse. While we all know the bad rep mutants get in the States, what about abroad? Specifically Japan. Are mutants more accepted over there? What about the Japanese stance on other supers, like metahumans who have gotten their abilities from freak accidents, or aliens, or gods?

But mostly the mutants. Those are what I'm most focused on.

The last time I checked the first publicly outed Mutant in Japan was a national hero.

And related to the Imperial Family. As a rule, mutants are fairly well liked in regular Marvel Japan.

Okay, here's a thought I've had for a while. What would change in the Marvel Zombies Universe if Wolverine's powers weren't nerfed? What if regenerators like Wolverine and Sabertooth were immune to zombification? Would that change things as the zombie apocalypse spread across the planet?

See, that's the thing, though, I'm not sure it would work out that way. It's the irresistible force and the immovable object. It always seemed like everything went the right way for the zombies to win. The right ones were turned at the right moment to turn others. Now you would have at least two (probably more that I can't think of at the moment) that could not only safely fight back, but there is a crucial factor to consider: zombies can be killed. You have Marvel Zombies pushed by a biological directive to try to kill or consume Logan and Victor, while the two of them can literally just claw through the skulls of most of the zombies to end the fight. The zombie mentality becomes a tactical disadvantage against someone that isn't going to be turned or easily killed. That's why I wonder if it would be enough of a push for other that were in the fight toward the end, the Magnetos and Dooms of the world, to pull something that might turn the tide? If the ones that should have been immune are immune, wouldn't that break the chain of events and drastically change the scenario as certain zombies are killed off before they can further the destruction?

Actually, come to think of it, shouldn't Hulk and Juggernaut be included among the ranks of the ridiculous regenerators that should have been immune?

They might not but you guys are forgetting someone who has almost as bad a regeneration factor as old Wolvie.

The reason that Batman only lets outside heroes operate in Gotham without permission (and usually an escort) isn't to protect his territory, but to protect the outside heroes. Someone finds this out in an embarrassing fashion. Needing to be rescued by Spoiler or Misfit (or, say, Robin I during his first solo mission) just makes it worse.

Up to the author who the outside hero is, but it should be a meta whose limited enough that it makes sense (Superman is really to much, in most cases), but powerful enough to plausibly believe that it wouldn't happen. Likewise, the villain should be minor enough for one of the less respected Gotham heroes to take on, but smart enough that capturing a meta isn't ridiculous. That doesn't narrow is down as much as it might seem, methinks.

Just about any meta would think they were safe. After all, if you are bullet proof what could the Joker do to you?

Most heroes would see the Gatham villains as crazies with a makeup fetish. The big league villains don't need an army to fight, and those that do have real armies. The Joker has a bunch of thugs. From an outsiders perspective Gotham isn't that dangerous unless you're normal.

And yet, we've seen how bad the Joker can get, up to the point his mind can corrupt and overcome the Quintessence and even Darkseid himself, when the circumstances are right. There are reasons you don't poke certain tigers no matter how harmless they seem.

<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/u/5074/Adrian_Tullberg' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Adrian Tullberg</a> has a lot of great ideas he's turned into oneshots. I for one would like to see some of them turned into something more. Some are meant to remain oneshots, but many have potential to become full-length stories.

One of the more notable ones is <a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3463052/1/The_Cavalry' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>The Calvary</a>, a Civil War AU detailing the mutants being rounded up...then Magneto freeing them and rallying them to his cause. The Brotherhood of Mutants just upgraded to an army, and Magneto's plans are that much closer to fruition.

...where can I get a T-shirt that says "Magneto Was Right?"

I had an idea somewhat similar to that, only it was more along the lines of 'what if those metahumans who had non-fleshy bodies (permanently or otherwise) were immune to infection in their inorganic states?

Emma Frost and her daughters in diamond form, Iceman, Colossus in his metal form, Rockslide and Mercury, Dust while she was in sand form, the Thing, the Grey Gargoyle, Sandman, Hydroman, and so on.

Had thoughts of them being forced to scatter to the four winds, no more than two or three to a group, so that a set of scramblers Emma built could hide them from sensors, all of them praying that guys like Reed Richards, Tony Stark, or Doom would decide to just head off-world for more food rather than waste valuable clear-headed non-hungry time building better scanners to try and hunt down the last few stragglers on Earth.

Also had the image of Santo dubbing the group the 'Indigestible X-Men', to absolutely withering glares from the rest of the group.

You know, I find it kind of hilarious on how skeptical Tony Stark is of magic in both animated series and the movies, even though The Mandarin, an ancient chinese warlord with powerful magic, is one of Iron Man's recurring villains.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

In other news I kinda had this world building idea I'd like to run by you all. Okay so we have a world with heroes and villains sounds pretty normal right? Okay he's the catch, no superheroes allowed.

So, heroes like Batman, Hawkeye, Punisher, Green Arrow and Rorschach all exist, we could push it I think with the likes of Daredevil for instance.

A world of Bad Ass Normals or close too it and their rogues gallery comes with.

But this isn't just a Marvel/DC smashup. I'm sayin every comic book hero who could be described as a Badass Normal or close to it could appear here. And like I said, their enemies come with them so people like Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy who are obviously NOT normal get to ignore this "no super" rule but that's because they CAN be beaten by normals.

Effectively a "low power" setting.

To shake thing up places such as Gotham, Sin City, Roanapur, and the like also exist all in the same world to really give these heroes even the bloodiest of them like the Punisher or Rorschach a place to really shine and quite possibly die.

Where anti-heroes such as Red Hood/Jason Todd, and maybe even Ozymandias to use the most extreme actions simply because they possess the highest payoffs for saving lives.

I'd like you guys help with expanding this, if you know of any other heroes or even villains and especially notable cities to use I'd like to get this all into one setting for public use.

Girl Genius/Warhammer 40K:

Orks vs Jaegers.

This is a conflict that is likely to be extremely violent - but both sides would be having an absolute blast.

Unfortunately, all the Ork's helmets are too large for them, so nobody can claim a new hat. :(
