Logan Herald of Galactus

The man known as Wolverine would be a decisive factor in the battle against Galactus. In the late 1800's Galactus came to earth to feed, heralded by Norrin Radd the Silver Surfer. Logan was eventually able to beat the Silver Surfer by using a combination of his own healing factor, claws and the Surfer's board. So as Galactus would not destroy the earth, Logan agreed to become the new Herald of Galactus, becoming imbued with the Power Cosmic and finding world's for the giant to consume.

As Logan travelled the universe it became ever more difficult to locat unoccuppied planets for Galactus to consume, and as Galactus became ever more ravenous, he came across a battle within the Shi'ar Empire. A group of human mutants from Earth were aiding Lilandra of the Shi'ar against her brother D'Ken who was ruling the empire with an iron fist. Observing the battle, Logan was able to deduce that D'Ken was to use the M'Kraan crystal as a weapon, which would most certainly attract the attention of Galactus. So in violation of the rule of non-intevention that Galactus had given him years before, Logan assaulted the forces loyal to D'Ken, and was able to thwart his plan to use the M'Kraan crystal as a weapon.

Having allied himself with the group of Human mutants known collectively as the X-Men, he was welcomed to return to Earth with them, but had to turn down their offer in order to keep Earth safe from Galactus. However, as the victory over D'Ken was being savored, a soldier loyal to D'Ken struck down the mutant female Jean Grey from afar, killing her instantly. From this death, Jean's body rose into the air as the Dark Phoenix, a powerful being which was inhabiting Jean's body unnoticed for years. Only through Logan's use of his Power Cosmic and his affection for this woman who resembled his first love, was he able to turn the Dark Phoenix into the Phoenix. The two left together into space, where the combined powers of Logan and the Phoenix were able to create a pocket dimension, full of hundreds of thousands of uninhabited worlds for Galactus to consume. The pair eventually returned to Earth, where they became two of that planet's most powerful protectors.
 
Logan as Herald of Galactus didn't see that one coming (kinda remind a little one page comic strip What if the Punisher was the herald of Galactus where he basicly blew up prison planet :D)

so the X-men exist in that reality? I wonder how we could mix them up

Maybe as a more multipurpose organisation that fight for both mutant right politicly but also battle Bad guys
 
Luke Cage
also known as Power Man

The history of Luke Cage is too numerous and riddled with the usual lifestyle of crime to put into words. Thus one must come to the point where Luke Cage entered the "supes" world. The first initial glimpses of this world comes when Luke Cage was sent to Seagate Prison, off the coast of Georgia, with the rumor being that of him actually defeating the known Battling Jack when he was supposed to loose. The actual detail of his incarceration is better left alone.

It is at Seagate Prison that Luke Cage was offered a deal with a prison doctor. The deal was that Luke Cage would undergo an experiment in exchange for a shortened sentence. The experiment, like most that have been orchestrated by mad geniuses, was not formally supported by the government nor the prison authority. On the other side, the experiment did provide Luke Cage with super strength, increased stamina, and an overall enhancement of his reputation as "the Black Super-Man".

The experiment was discovered and Luke Cage, now enlightened with brutal strength, broke out of prison. What followed was another long and laborious career as a henchman/super villain that cannot be described in a short entry. In fact, it is said that most super villains within the super-criminal underworld have come into contact with Luke Cage at one point or the other. Some might say that it was after Battling Jack fell by his son's hands or by Kingpin's sudden ascendancy over the Brooklyn Syndicate that that Luke Cage came into his own position as a hero unto himself.

As a hero, Luke Cage increased his status even more by choosing Chicago as his "home city", partnering up with the noted Dakota North and Iron Fist as a private investigator, as well as a police consultant. This tenure did bring him into major conflicts with his former allies, whom threw the more talented 'A' List foes against him. One cannot forget Luke Cage's magnificent feud with the Wrecking Crew, Electro, the Hulk (although proven to be a lie), and the infamous Red Skull (?).

At the present, Luke Cage is currently an associate of "Nelson, Cage, & North; Ace Attorneys". Luke Cage has been given an honorary law degree from Columbia of dubious origin but honored nonetheless by most clients of the firm. Many state that without Luke Cage's presence within the law firm, Foggy Nelson would have gone a simple and ordinary life, depending on the rumor that he did not meet up with the Black Widow before Luke Cage came to New York City.

---
Dakota North
aka "North"

A woman of mysterious origin, she is often referred to as the "Mexican Black Spider", although she is neither Mexican nor fond of spiders. Public requests by the New York Ledger have confirmed that she has worked with an intelligence agency. She does have SHIELD clearance and has been seen with Nick Fury at several state dinners.

Dakota North is rather talented at various martial arts and non-projectile weapons. She has the tendency to mimic other styles done by her opponents within her bag of skills. It should be stated that Dakota North has no law degree but is attributed as _the_ enforcement for cases brought on by Nelson, Cage, & North.

Opponents are highly advised not to cross her, with the exception of the "real" Black Widow, Luke Cage, Thor, or Jennifer Jones.

UPDATE: Dakota North does not cry "ACE ATTORNEY AT LAW!" when fighting.

Punisher

Born in Queens, New York to parents of Sicilian ancestry, the young Francis Castiglione originally studied to become a Roman Catholic priest, but changed his mind because he was unable to forgive those who did evil. Eventually, Frank Castle would enlist in the United States Marine Corps becoming a U.S. Marine Captain. He married his wife Maria, who was already pregnant with their first child prior to his enlistment.

During his time in the USMC, Castle graduated from boot camp and then went on to U.S. Marine Corps School of Infantry. Immediately after, he went through the USMC's Reconnaissance, Force Reconnaissance, and Sniper Schools. Attaining dockets, Castle was permitted to go through U.S. Army Airborne School, and U.S. Navy Underwater Demolition Team training, becoming qualified as a Navy SEAL (Sea, Air and Land).

Following his training, Castle would serve in the Vietnam War in the Special Forces Unit as a point man. He fought in numerous engagements and was the only survivor (from both sides) of a Viet Cong assault on Valley Forge Firebase in 1971. For heroism in the line of duty, he was decorated with the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross, 3 times the Silver star and Bronze Stars, 4 times the Purple Heart, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

After finishing his first tour of duty in Vietnam, he signed up for a second tour. Castle served a total of 4 years in the Vietnam War (1968 to 1971). Six years later (1976) after the American involvement in Vietnam ended, Castle ran Special Black Ops training missions for Marine Recon Commandos in the upper New York State area. Following his time he took part in a government project known only to him as "Project: Sentinel", however he was considered unfit for the final project.

Years later Castle, his wife, Maria and their children Lisa and Frank Jr. were in New York's Central Park for an afternoon picnic when they witnessed a Mafia gangland execution; an informant had been hanged from a tree. Seeking to eliminate all witnesses, the Costa crime family murdered them on the spot.

Castle laid dying, the body of his wife under him, and with his last dying breath begged for vengence. He slowly passed away, and expected for the briefest of seconds to see heaven. Castle found only darkness around him, and a voice saying he could not reach the Kingdom and see his family until evil was punished. Castle agreed on the spot and was consumed by Hellfire.

Upon returning to earth Castle saw himself still in the park underneath his dead wife. It was assumed Castle had survived the attack. Thinking it was all a dream Frank turned to the police. Even though Frank was able to identify all of the shooters, the police were unable to help Castle in his quest for justice. They were tied in too deeply to the powerful Costa family. Grieving over his family's death and outraged at the incompetence of the police, Castle decided that the only punishment criminals might receive is that of physical destruction.

Shortly thereafter, his body was lit aflame. With a flaming skull for a head, and body armor emblazoned with a symbol of a skull. At first Frank was terrified, but the power surging through him, told Castle that he was sent back for a reason. Searching out the Costa family Frank began his mission of punishing the guilty. Since then, he has waged a one-man war on crime, taking the name "The Punisher," Frank Castle is the Spirit of Vengeance.
 
White Ape

General M'Baku (a.k.a. "White Gorilla")- is one of the most wanted leaders on Earth, according to the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) and INTERPOL since his overthrow of the government of Wakanda in 1978, and the overthrow of the Royal Family off T'Challa. With the aid of South African Defense Forces (SADF) under Colonel Erik Killmonger (veteran of the Genoshan Civil War), and U.S. covert intelligence provided by CIA Director Henry Peter Gyrich. In 1981, he declared war on the nations of Nairobia, Azania, and Halwan. Backed by South African P.M. Anton Pretorius in 1983, General M'Baku launched a series of bloody "ethnic cleansing campaigns". After Petrorius lost the election in 1994, Wakanda fell into civil war, but with the bargaining chip of Wakandium, and the religious crackdown on the Order of Sekhmet in 1998, M'Baku was able to prevent the collapse of his regime. With his "cooperation", and a foreign aid package of $3.1 billion from the Bush administration in 2003, "dissident scientists" claimed to have sold weapons-grade Wakandium to North Korea and Iraq, helping justify Bush's "War on Terror".....
 
I was going to do Frank Castle!:(

But that yours was good!

What do you think of my bits?

I like the law aspect. Froggy is the man in charge, perhaps so far up the ladder that he only deals with the big cases, North that jr. partner who does much of the paper work, and court formalities, and Cage seems to be that PI that every good law firm has.
 
HYDRA

A terrorist group recently classified by the current Administration as a danger to US Security. This classification has been ratified by several other countries. A known trademark of HYDRA was their green uniforms and their head being that of a "Madam Hydra" (a rotating position of female leaders). Most recently, due to the changes that the current Administration (and their predecessor) with Stark Industries, Hydra has changed to become "serious" [NY Ledger] with their current head "Madam Hydra" steering their enterprises into more "humanistic" desires.

Walters, Lieber, & Killerman

The more "respected" law firm specializing in super-hero/villain crimes in Manhattan. The law firm did previously focus on civil litigation. This path was altered somewhat by the rise of Jennifer Walters, nicknamed the "She-Hulk of Law", and the unparalleled offer by Mr. Walters as a partner (without experience with their firm).

There is a clear conflict between this and Nelson, Cage, & North, stemming from the "Ace Attorney" label.

Kingpin v Murdock

A landmark case establishing the presence of the Kingpin within the legal system as an "legitimate businessman".

It is also referred to as the "Nelson v. Murdock round XVI", "Murdock v. the Mob", and "Cage v. Kingpin" (due to the skirmish that Cage had with the said client outside of the court).

Kevin MacTaggart

A known super-powered serial killer that had no bounds. Known primarily for his connection to the noted Dr. Moira MacTaggart and US Senator Joe MacTaggert. Among the more noted of his murders was his own father, Gilbert Benson, half of the Advanced Idea Mechanical Corporation (a known terrorist group), sixteen city blocks in Edinburgh, half of Manchester, and Gilbert Benson, noted biologist.

It was only by the grace of God that a coalition of various super hero teams, SHIELD, the British military, and EU units that he was put down.

Currently Kevin MacTaggart is residing in a very special cell in "The Vault", a maximum security agency run by Stark Industries, International in the bowels of the Arctic.

(It should be noted that Kevin MacTaggart's cell was the pioneering advancement of the Stark family group into government partnerships.)
 
Earth's Greatest Threat!!!

General Mar-Vehl, Kree Imperial Militia is one of Earth's greatest threats according to top-secret documents by Dr. Reed Richards and SHIELD Director Nick Fury, and Secretary Henry Peter Gyrich , Department of Homeland Security (DHS) according to reports authorized by President Bill Clinton after the 1998 takeover of the Arecibo Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico. Aided by his brother, Sub-Commander Genis-Vehl, and personal friend of Emperor Yon-Rogg, Captain Mar-Vehl is considered one of the deadliest military commanders of his species. Veteran of the Kree-Skrull War (1971-1975); theater commader of Operation GALACTIC STORM (1992) and the subsequent occupation of Shi'ar Empire (1993-2001), he has launched several covert operations against Earth with the intent of testing its defenses since 1993. He feels that his acting in best interests of all species, citing the threat of the Logan, Herald of Galactacus and Annhilus, ruler of the Tyannan Empire....
 
Brotherhood of Mutants

Magneto

Magneto, a mutant with the ability to control magnetic fields, whose experience in the Auschwitz concentration camp shapes his outlook on the situation that mutants face in the world. Determined to keep such atrocities from ever being committed against mutant-kind, he is willing to use deadly force to protect mutants.

While the Brotherhood promoted the group's existence as a political and ideological rival to Professor Charles Xavier's dream of peace with humans, the group was originally conceived as simply a small, but powerful army of minions gathered by Magneto to aid in his schemes for "liberating" mutantkind.

Cyclops

Scott Summers was happy to leave the orphanage in Omaha, Nebraska, which had been his home since his parents died. Much to the young man's shock his adoptive father Malcom Reed was an extremely abusive man, and his new mother Georgia only took in the young Scott to keep Malcom "distracted" from her daughter Julian.

At the age of thirteen Scott fought his father off, and recieved a very harsh beating in return. Suddenly a powerful beam shot out from Scott's eyes vaporizing Malcom, and sending the young man down the stairs landing on his head. This causes brain damage to Scott, which is supposedly responsible for his inability to control his optic blasts, as well as prolonged amnesia about his childhood which in itself is a blessing.

Scott unable to control his powers, is sent to a government prision where they hope he will become a weapon. The young man is subjected to daily tests, some painful, most humiliating. One day taking no more Scott slowly takes apart the visor locked to his head. It take two months, but once the visor is gone Scott wastes no time in breaking out, and blasting away the military who follows.

Of course the young man did not think to take the visor with him. So in the woods he could do nothing but cause destruction wherever he went, that is until Magneto arrived presenting Scott with ruby quartz googles. A long lasting partnership began that day. Magneto having found his foot soldier, and Scott a man to look up to wanting nothing more then his services.

Marvel Girl

Jean Grey-Summers was born the daughter of Dr. John Grey and Elaine Grey. Before joining the Brotherhood, she lived with her family in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, where Dr. Grey worked as a history professor at Bard College.

Jean's powers first manifest at the age of ten, prematurely triggered when her best friend, Annie Richards, is hit by a car. As her friend lies dying, Jean instinctively links to her mind and senses what Annie feels when she dies; the trauma of experiencing her friend's death nearly kills Jean as well, but instead leaves her in a coma.

Jean's parents seek the expertise of specialists to rouse her out of her catatonic state, of which only Professor Charles Xavier is able to help. Xavier realizes that Jean's young mind cannot yet cope with her abilities, so he telepathically blocks her access to them, allowing her powers to evolve at a more natural pace. Xavier tells her parents that he wants to work with Jean to help develop her powers.

Jean's parents are less then accepting of such a thing, having already lost years with their daughter due to a coma, and now seeking out any way to strip the girl of her powers so she can live a normal life. Xavier protested, but quickly found him cut out of the young girls life. As Jean sat in the basement of her house, getting company only from her father who gave the girl food, and books, she quietly grew to hate her parents. She also grew to hate Professor Xavier due to the block she had on her powers, knowing she had the power to level walls and escape but only able to move objects around the room.

After four years of such treatment, Jean Grey was set free as the roof of her house was ripped off. She huddled in the corner listening to her father and mother scream for help, but once she saw the kindly man with white hair hold his hand out to her Jean knew she was free. Magneto had a new member to his growing group of mutants.

Iceman

Iceman was born in Floral Park, New York, United States to William Robert Drake and Madeline Beatrice Bass Drake. He is Jewish on his mother's side and Irish Catholic on his father's. His Powers first manifested when Bobby was on a date with Judy Harmon, and a local bully by the name of Rocky Beasely tried to take Judy away for himself. Knowing Judy could not put up a good fight, Bobby pointed his hand at Beasely and encased him in a block of ice. Later, the local townspeople, having heard about what Bobby did, came looking for him in the shape of an angry mob. The local sheriff had no choice but to put Bobby in jail for his own "protection." While sitting in his cell at the sheriff station, the outer wall was blown open, and a man named Scott Summers walked in and offered to take Bobby with him. After turning him down, the two mutants got into a short battle, which Magneto soon ended.

Mastermind
Jason Wyngarde, a mutant with the power to generate psionic illusions that can affect any of the five senses of his opponents. How and why he joined Magneto is unknown, however the mutant can never be far away as his powers while never winning a battle, always seem to tip the balance.

I like your story, but we already have a Jean Grey, it's in the Logan Herald of Galactus post.
 
I hope Fenwick doesn't mind, but I have one more suggested member for his Brotherhood...

The early history of Leah Goldberg...

Carmen Pryde never wanted to have a child, but as they say, accidents happen. Accidentelly impregnating his girlfriend, Terri, they were forced into a shot-gun wedding by Terri's parents.

The marriage was stressfull and short-lived. Carmen Pryde grew more and more resentful at his wife, who viewed her as a stumbling block to his wider ambitions. He channelled the lingering feelings that he once had for her into his newborn daughter, Katherine, showering her with all the love and affection that he could.

For three years, the couple tried their best to make a living in Deerfield, Illinois. Finally, Carmen and Terri Pryde got into one last brutal argument, which ended in Terri filing for divorce. The judge presiding over the case awarded custody of Katherine to Terri.

Carmen wouldn't stand for it. Panicking, he grabbed Katherine and fled the country, making Aliyah to Israel under an assumed name, changing young Katherine's name to Leah. Carmen became Paul, and their last names became "Goldberg."

Now living as Paul Goldberg, Carmen resettled himself and his daughter to the small town of Ra'anana, which had a large English-speaking population. They settled on the outskirts of the town.

As Leah grew up, her father remained fiercely overprotective of her. Then, as she started to prepare for her Bat Mitzvah, Leah began to suffer from severe headaches. Soon after those began, Leah awoke one night to find that she had somehow "sunk" through her bed.

Not terribly long afterwards, Paul Goldberg got two unwelcome vistors. The first was a bald man in a wheelchair who introduced himself as Charles Xavier, who told Paul matter-of-factly that his daugher was a mutant who needed to be trained. Paul desperatelly asked Professor Xavier if he could "cure" his daughter; Xavier infuriated him by stating that there was nothing about his daughter to cure. Goldberg ordered him out. In spite of thisXavier left his contact information. Paul wanted to destroy it, but was held back by a mysterious urge not to.

Leah's new abilities began making themselves apparent, as she found herself "phasing" uncontrollably through solid objects. Paul began to reconsider Xavier's offer, after seeing how miserable she was.

Then, Paul Goldberg received his second, and final visitor, one Sunday evening.

Paul had developed the habbit of taking long walks to think about what to do with his daughter (with no idea he was being watched the entire time); on the one hand, he didn't want her far from his sight. On the other hand, she needed help. Then, before he could even look ahead, a bright red beam blasted the life out of him.

Leah, in the meantime, waited for her father to come home. Three hours passed, and he still didn't return. She started to worry, since he almost never stayed out that long. Then, she heard a knock at her door. Breathing hard, she opened it.

Stepping out from the shadows, a tall man wearing a strange-looking helmet faced Leah. He surprised her by speaking in fluent Hebrew. He was joined by a shorter man that appeared, even in the gloom, to be wearing a strange set of glasses.

The tall man's name was Magneto, and he would protect her, but she had to come with them now. Her father had been killed, apparently by an enraged mob that had discovered he had fathered a mutant, and now they were on their way to finish her off.

Leah Goldberg, scared and uncertain, had no choice but to say yes, grabbing Magneto's outstretched hand. Her time in the Brotherhood had begun...

Thoughts?

Another Threat!!!

Shang-Chi a.k.a. "The Mandarin"- is leader of the "Ching Dai" Triad, which traces its lineage to Emperor Chan Che Wong when Zhang Tong was appointed "shadow empror". According to PLA reports, his family were warlords who backed the Kuomingtang until teh collapse in 1950. Apparently Shang Chi's father was killed by Red Guard Units during the initial phases of the Cultural Revolution in 1964. Subsequently he was sent to a Chinese military prison in the Valley of Kakaranathara, where he suffered brutal torture and beatings. This would last until 1974, when he was recruited by the "Yellow Claw" Triad under the control of corrupt PLA Colonel Plan Chu. He would slowly rise through the ranks, developing both his fighting skills and secretly mystical skills which he obtained from the tortured followers of "the Ancient One". In 1989, he killed his former Master and reestablished the "Ching Dai" Triad, which has dedicated itself to the overthrow of the government in Beijing "by any means necessary". According to the latest INTERPOL and FBI reports, apparently 80% of the human-trafficking, crystal-meth development, opium trade, arms trade, and organ-legging operations in the Pacific Rim is controlled by him...
 
I'm not nearly as well up on Marvel comic characters as the rest of you so would you mind if I used British comic characters such as Judge Dredd instead??

I do have one possible idea though

Dr Bruce Banner is hired by Oscorp, his experiments go wrong and he becomes the Green Goblin instead of the Hulk
 
Dr Bruce Banner is hired by Oscorp, his experiments go wrong and he becomes the Green Goblin instead of the Hulk

I already did Bruce Banner as the Leader, but this is a What If...? So feel free. Bruce Banner as the Green Goblin would be interesting to say the least.

Firstly I think I'd have Banner's Green Goblin as a hero. However, Norman Osborn, jealous of Banner's powers would steal some of the Goblin's gear and go into business as a supervillian called..... The Hobgoblin :)
