Just an idea I had: What if the Senshi were reincarnated into the Marvel Universe? Oh, the Moon Kingdom and Youma and all that stuff are/have still happening/happened, but what the hell kind of situation would the Senshi be in?
We have a few positive things going for it, and quite a few negative ones. First of all, most of the issues with everyone hating mutants and the "good guys", no matter how much they help is mostly in America. I don't think Marvel has ever discussed what the mutant issue would be like in Japan. Also, I don't quite think magic counts as a mutation, so the people wouldn't freak out as much about it.
Now, for the negatives. There's a lot of them. First of all, most threats, unless we get to the end of Mangaverse-SM are totally out of their league. Second, the Senshi are themselves going to be a bit wary of fighting evil. After all, they've seen how "heroes" are treated in the Marvelverse. They might refuse to fight.
How would this work out? Would some of the Senshi be mutants? Would Rei be communicating with one Susanoo like Spider Man communicates with Thor? Would they even want to fight if they would potentially be hated? Once their reputation gets big enough, what threats will be targeting them? Will the threat level scale sufficiently with the Marvelverse. After all, this is a Universe where a literal god is on the local team of heroes.
