Young fresh heroes are fun, it's true, but I'll be totally selfish here for a moment.

I love Cap's relationships with people like Falcon and Diamondback, or Nomad, etcetera. I just wouldn't be able to develop all of his awesome history if we started anew.

The other concern would be newer characters. Would we not allow characters like the Young Avengers and the Runaways?

Hrm. What if we did things a little differently?

What if we started off fresh, with a new MU, but allowed new characters in during stages? So, for example, during Stage 1, we'd only allow characters who would be active in the 60's-era of the comics (even though it'd be set later)? Then we start allowing early 70's characters, then late 70's characters, and so on?
