Important question for the flist

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).

After more seanchai and me discusion about Tsubasa with Jan, Hank, and Clint as Tomoyo, Sakura, and Syaoran, we've decided that an all-Avengers version of Tsubasa would have to feature Steve as Kurogane and Tony as Fei, substituting some kind of tech-based ability and cyborg-ness for magic. Chi would be Jocasta. Ashura-O would be Obediah Stane. Thor would be Mokona, and would create the inter-dimensional portals by spinning his hammer (okay, the entire fusion idea is based on enabling the delicious crack of this concept). Wanda would be the Dimension Witch, Billy and Teddy would be Watanuki and Doumeki, and Vision would be one of the android/constructs in Yuuko's shop. I'm not sure which female YA would be Himewari -- Cassie, probably, because I don't like Kate.

Kang/Immortus would be Fei Wong Reed, because he's fucked extensively with all the Avengers and has time travel powers. (Unless Doom is Fei Wong Reed and Reed Richards is Clow)

And when they went to Acid Tokyo, the X crew would all be the X-Men, at least partially for the pun. Except Xavier and Magneto would be inexplicably young and bishounen, because anime. Magneto would be the classic white-haired evil bishounen with hair down to his waist.

lsrjg[orpet CHI AS JOCASTA. I JUST SPITTAKED BUT YES. THOR AS MOKONA. YES. YES. A THOUSAND TIMES YES. And Steve as Kurogane would work at least in terms of culture shock, values, and martial ability. Vision could be the black Mokona? I think Cassie would make a better Zashiki-Warashi, with Kate as the Ame-Warashi. I also support Doom as Faux Wang Fei Wong, and Reed as Clow.

...now I really want to write Acid Tokyo X-Men, god damn. With Magneto as Kamui and Xavier as Fuuma (or possibly vice-versa). I don't know if I can match the others up. It's been a while since I read X.

Maybe I'll just draw it.
