Mago and Davey are already pretty Sci-Fi as it is. I think they could still work in the Fawcett lineup if they f had the kind of weird adventures Green Lantern was having round about that time, although Magno should really get a proper full name. The Raven, I feel, could be given the Beetle Charlton treatment. Like, maybe have it retconned that he came upon some Ancient, mystical, Pagan amulet in England that gave him powers, have him fight supervillains and monsters, then have him die and pass on the mantle to some tech-savvy dude ala Ted Kord. The Sword, being a Young Teen that becomes a powered Adult like Billy Batson could work well in The Silver Age as a kind of Rival to Captain Marvel and Whiz Wilson could be a space hero instead of a Time Traveller, now that Minute Man has that covered. Lash Lightning and Vulcan? Pack then off to the Golden age and the world that takes place.

Here's hoping they snatch up Fox Next. But, maybe wait till after the Bluee Beetle goes to Chalton? I kinda think DC should get Standard now. Though that could just be my personal desire to have DC enranged by their first successful lawsuit being nullified by their first failed one.

I do have plans for the Ace Heroes don't worry but nothh happens until 58
 
One conservative criticism. Black Adam should have a Red stripe to counter the Marvel families Black Stripe
Also Mary needs 50s/60s appropriate hair
I don't think Black Adam ever had a cape so I went with that. I may have some trouble find good hair, but you could keep the hair as a symbol of female empowerment, like Wonder Woman.

Maybe she might look good with Audrey Hepburn Pixie Cut, like this?

Been thinking about the Silver Age Mr. Scarlet too. It might be hard for him to get by as just another Batman rip off, so I'm supposing that there's gonna be a lot of changes to him and Pinky. Maybe they'll be aliens or something, like in Kingdom Come.

First off I was thinking Lauren Bacall or Elisabeth Taylor for the model of silver age Mary Marvel myself but Audrey Hepburn is a good choice to. Second No I have different idea for a 1960's Mr. Scarlet

Also possible design for a Silver Age Raven

Perfect. Definitely a sassy look for Mary. Plus Raven's new design? Well, I can think of worse designs and it looks great. Thing is, would Fawcett do more to try and separate the character more from Batman? Avoid another National lawsuit? IDK, but given the bad feelings possibly shared between the two after what happened, I'd like to think that National would most likely be petty enough to look for any excuse, no matter how small, to try and take down the competition in court again.

I sincerely hope you keep making these Microheroes for us, they look amazing. Maybe one for that Silver age Minute Man we saw earlier, or Something for the new Spy Smasher? (I'd personally like to believe that at least one artist at Fawcett had a copy of Moonraker on hand. or at the very least saw that American tv version of Casino Royale from 1954.)

I forgot to mention ITTL Bizarro is also a member of the Marvel Family (he's a Golem created by Mr. Mind)

So, ITTL he looks less like a Superman with grey, Crystal textured skin, and more like a deformed Captain Marvel Statue made from mud and Clay?

  • Spy-Smasher does not get reboot till Dr.No (Movie)
  • Bizarro is a Rock monster that looks like Captain Marvel

I'll wait for feedback from @THeaven first

In November of 1957 Fawcett comics editor hires hires Plastic man creator for help on some new projects
Cole admitted in his Becks funeral in 89 "I was in a dark place when Beck took me away from Playboy I shudder to think what I would have done had I not been brought back to making heroes over smut"
