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).

CLINT IS FUUMA, YES? But Tsubasa!Fuuma

That makes the Swordsman Tsubasa!Seshirou! For an older mentor figure who's kind of evil. I'm not sure how the part where he's replaced by a plant clone who then get smarried would translate over. Carol would be Souma, Tsubasa!Tomoyo's butch bodyguard. And Wanda would be Souma's girlfriend who's name I can't remember.

In the service of Crack, I'd be tempted to make Vision one of those androids from Chobits, but that doesn't fit at all character-wise.

edit: AND DR. STRANGE IS YUUKO!

You mean Amaterasu? I think that's her name, anyway. But yes. Wanda definitely fits the part. Wolverine is Kurogane, clearly. I'm tempted to say Nightcrawler is Fai, though he's not nearly angsty or gay enough. Damn. Northstar? Fits the sibling angst bill at least. But I'm fairly sure Wolverine and Northstar have no chemistry whatsoever. Damn.

VISION IS MOKONA.

kdfjzhdgkhjdk THAT. AHAHAHAHAHA. I was actually wanting to write a story where Yuuko was a previous Sorceress Supreme, and they had a chat after Stephen lost the title. I should do that.

Oh my God, that's beautiful. Clow would probably be a former Sorceror Supreme as well (maybe Yuuko's Ancient One).

I'm torn between Wanda as Amaterasu and Carol as Souma, or Wanda as the Dimension Witch with Billy as Watanuki. Both would be awesome.

[iambickilometer]

Yeah, I can see that. Man. I have to write this.

Okay, that would be kind of cool too. Billy's not quite spastic enough, or enough in denial at all, but Teddy definitely is laid back enough to be Doumeki. (Though way less stoic, holy shit.)
