Let's say as our POD that in 1970, Marvel agrees to negotiate favorable changes to Kirby's contract. What effect does this have on the comics industry? For one thing, Kirby never introduces Marvel's signature style of complex characters that have issues in their secret identities as well as their superhero identities to DC ,leaving them the domain of archetypal four color characters aimed more at children. In addition, he either never creates his Fourth World New Gods characters or makes them for Marvel, both of which have massive butterflies. Your thoughts?
