I don't honestly see what any of the characters or companies (or us) would gain from such a swap. To remove Galactus from Marvel would be to remove his connection with FF, which is rich part of his history - and one of the reasons why readers started liking him in the first place. And to move either Superman or Batman from DC would mean breaking up "the world's finest". And etc.

Better with the occasional company crossover - if they're still possible. I know I enjoyed the two Superman and Spider-Man crossovers from the 70ies and 80ies.

Mike, having Wonder Woman show up to join the Avengers instead of Cap
might be the most interesting swap suggested in the thread!

Mike and Wallace,

I suggested swapping Wonder Woman for Captain America (patriotic hero for patriotic hero), but it was Chad Carter who did all the heavy lifting, coming up with a detailed Wonder Woman / Avengers scenario. In this equation, Chad is the Jack Kirby 50 penciled pages of action to my simple Stan Lee "have the FF fight God"-esque muse.

And some great re-imagined covers, guys!

Firestorm would make a GREAT herald for Galactus

Awesome cover, M. Norris. Thanks, Matthew.

Seeing the cover makes so much sense, with WW leading the Avengers. She looks perfect. I can imagine a myriad of cool stories with WW and the Avengers that I can't imagine with the JLA!

What If Marvel Comics owned the Justice Society & Justice League?
