Okay, the premise:
I'm basically going to make a fic about a 'cosmic game' between very bored, very powerful multiversal beings. Each of them will choose one or two characters from various realities and... arrange... for them to appear in mainstream 616 continuity (the one we all know and love/hate/whatever, to clarify). Kinda like Exiles on steroids.
Why would they do that, you ask? Purely for the lulz, mostly, and because they're bored and want to see what happens. Yeah, these guys are kinda dicks. All-powerful jackasses and all that.
The characters can be anyone, but it's best if they are from neglected and/or 'dead' timelines. However, characters who got put on a bus (like Ultimate Spidey/Peter Parker) can also qualify.
That about sums it up. The entities will be nonfactors past their initial interference (after all, they want to see what happens if things go their own way after they throw a stone in the pond, so to speak), but they are necessary to start the 'game', and since they are basically ruining lives for their own amusement, they have to be sorta dicks, so I'm leaning towards them being OCs rather than estabilished cosmics (in no small part because few Marvel cosmics have both the scope of power and are bored or amoral enough to do something like this, since it's basically screwing with the order of things).
Or I could 'borrow' and adapt powerful beings from videogames or anime and use those as stand-ins. Whatever, not like they'll matter aside maybe from intermission scenes every now and then, if at all.
Soooo...
This topic is to decide who to pick and throw to the wolves. I already have a lock - Mutant-X's Bloodstorm, whom I greatly liked back when I read those comics (although I liked all of Mutant-X's setting, to be fair, but she stood out).
There's up to 5 more spots (there's three 'entities', and I resolved that they can choose no more than two people each, though they can choose less than that), and as mentioned, characters who got the shaft for various reasons such as their series being canceled (New Universe, Marvel 2099) or them being put on the great bus from hell (hi, Ultimate Spidey and Ultimate Wasp! Among others...) are preferred. Obscure characters are fair game too, I guess.
Anyway... let's hear your opinions. I'm asking specifically because the characters dictate the plot, necessarily. What works as motivation for one may not work for another.
