Important question for the flist

[elspethdixon]

If CLAMP were to make a manga/anime about the Avengers, which character(s) would end up losing an eye? (keeping in mind that Bucky/Winter Soldier already fulfills the need for a cyborg arm, and that Nick Fury probably doesn't count for angsty/slashy eye-loss purposes).

I don't know from comics, but my chat room tells me the proper answer is "all of them, possibly in several different timelines."

*laughs* That's probably true. And at least one of them would have an evil clone running around with his/her missing eye.

Probably Hank, because there's a point in volume 3 Avengers where there actually *are* two Hanks running around, and one of them imprisons the other in his lab and replaces him. So he can be with Jan.

Except in the CLAMP version, instead of the two Hanks being recombined into one, one of them would die tragically saving Jan and the other Hank's lives, and then it would turn out that Jan was a clone made out of flower petals. But it's okay, because the real Jan is in another dimention somewhere, waiting for the Avengers to find her.

And Clint's arrows would have the power to dispell ghosts. And Tony would have a naked, glowy transformation sequence when he puts on his armor. Thor would have one, too, when he switches between his mortal form and his Thor form And Wanda's magic would involve glowing magical arrays and people chanting mysteriously on the soundtrack.

I have no words for how true this is.
