Excalibur
“The Foe With My Face”
1) When a genetics conference is held in London, Excalibur is on hand to work as security. (possible attendees—Xaiver, Moira, McCoy, etc)
2) In the middle of the keynote speaker (one of the above)’s address, the conference comes under attack by a team looking to kidnap him/her.
3) This team turns out to be a Nazi Excalibur (similar to this: http://marvel.wikia.com/Lightning_Force_%28Earth-597%29 but for our Excal) from a parallel Earth.
4) Excal vs. Nazi Excal in various combinations.
5) Excal wins. W.H.O. takes custody of the Nazi Excalibur. At this point, however, no one knows how they got here.

Big Hero Six
“Run, Run, Ronin”
1) BH6 responds to a series of emergencies across the country, but each time are shown up by a neat team of heroes, Ronin Force Five (think a Power Rangers/Super Sentai type team). There are even various talks among the people of Japan of them supplanting BH6.
2) While fighting and destroying a giant monster, RF5 are exposed to a chemical that turns them eeeeevil!
3) RF5 begins an attack on Tokyo and battle BH6, beating them soundly (and very nearly blowing Grogg up like a Sentai monster)
4) RF5 assembles its giant, Red Ronin-esque battle robot, Mighty Ronin, causing yet more damage to Tokyo.
5) The gov. outfits BH6 with mecha of their own, to battle RF5 with. Even then, BH6 barely holds their own, until they assemble their mecha (Big Heroes 1-6) into Big Hero.
6) Big Hero battles Mighty Ronin and destroys it, the shock of which cause RF5 to return to normal.
7) Someone cracks a joke, and everyone laughs, except for Grogg, who doesn’t get it.
Mostly X-Men, whole-game fallout
“The Power is Yours!”
1) Following a mysterious eclipse-like event, every non-powered person on the planet over the age of 13 gains super-powers.
2) Room for lots of scenes with various characters dealing with their newfound abilities. At the same time, lots of new “heroes” and “villains” start showing up as people make use of their powers. At the same time, other strange phenomena and creatures keep popping up.
3) Ultimately, the X-Men, after having modified Cerebro, trace this sudden emergence of super-energy to its source: a children’s hospital in upstate New York.
4) Traveling there, they are attacked by many mythical and fictional creatures and people, determined to keep them away.
5) Battling their way through to the hospital, they discover a young girl in a coma and on life support. Lucus and/or Rachel and/or any other psychics try to reach her mind, but are violently repulsed.
6) The manifestations start getting stronger and rapidly more real and intense, while at the same time, reality itself seems to be breaking down. One of the X-Men does the unthinkable… and pulls the plug. The last words they hear in their minds are “I just wanted things to be interesting…”
7) Reality returns to normal, but perhaps a few have kept their powers…?
Fantastic Four
“Mystery of the Forgotten Island!”
1) When an island appears out of nowhere in the South Pacific, literally overnight, the FF are called in to investigate.
2) The island seems to be have been cut adrift from somewhere else. None of the plants and animals are like anything from anywhere on Earth. During a fight with a giant creature, Vincent and Andrea are separated from Kristoff and Val.
3) Kristoff and Val are rescued by the Xari, a race of beautiful, winged humanoids who say that they have been hunted to near extinction by the brutal, ape-ish Krong. They further reveal that their island only exists in the Earth dimension for 24 hours every 100 years.
4) Andrea and Vincent, meanwhile, are found the by the tribal Kong, who speak of their own oppression by the hands of the Xari.
5) Both groups convince the FF-ers to participate in an attack on the other side, over a surprisingly advanced city, allowing the two groups to reunite in the middle of the battle.
6) Escaping from the fight, they argue over who is right here, ultimately deciding that perhaps they shouldn’t be supporting anyone. They discover a passage underneath the city, revealing a massive computer and its history tapes. These reveal that the Krong and Xari were once one people, before nuclear wars mutated them along divergent paths.
7) The FF work to construct a device to reverse the effects of the radiation, using it to turn the two sides back into one people, who make peace.
8) The FF leave just in time for the island to vanish.
Alpha Flight
“People Power”
1) When a mysterious energy surge destroys a city, Alpha and Beta Flights assist with the rescue operation. They find only one survivor, remarkably unharmed, save of his lack of clothes. He has no memory of who he is or why he was there.
2) Shortly after the man is brought back to Department H (who seem unusually interested in him), the building he’s being held in is struck by a total power failure, including back-ups. Somehow super-charged by the electrical energy, the man begins his escape, fleeing on instinct. He battles Beta Flight and beats them soundly, draining them of their super-human energy and power in the process. He then begins a march across the country.
3) Alpha Flight is dispatched to fight him, with Jordon being specifically told to hold himself in reserve. They don’t have any more success than Beta Flight did, finding their own abilities failing them and weakening. Radiations/dangerous energy levels also start to rise from the man.
4) Jordon enters the fight against orders (fear of how his copying powers will interact with the man’s), but his copy-power and the man’s absorbing power start creating a feedback loop with each other, letting Alpha get back on their feet. They battle and this time, hold their own, but no more.
5) During the fight, the man explodes, his body overloading with energy. Alpha Flight barely escapes unscathed, alive, but with more questions than answers.
6) Department H, meanwhile, holds a meeting to express concern over some of the consequences of their plan to empower more Canadians (see Beta Flight’s origin).
Midnight Sons
“The Sun Also Rises”
1) Shelly receives a psychic message from Dracula, a plea for help.
2) Reluctantly, Shelly calls in the others for help with dealing with Drac when they find him.
3) They find Dracula held prisoner in an abandon warehouse, slowing being tortured by a sci-fi piece of machinery. He demands that the free him or that the consequences will be dire!
4) Debating what to do, they’re attacked by other defenses built into the warehouse. Beating those back, they reluctantly free Drac, who reveals that someone has broken his hold over his Chicago coven and usurped it, hunting him all the while.
5) Realizing that it’s better the devil they know, they agree to help Drac get his coven back, extracting a promise from him not to harm or try to take Shelly so long as this threat exists. Drac agrees. Loathe though he is to do so, Dracula agrees to be bait for a trap to flush out whoever is hunting him.
6) Making himself noticed, Drac is attacked and lets himself be taken captive by vampires.
7) Our heroes follow to what looks like an abandoned townhouse, but which is really the laboratory of Doctor Sun (http://marvel.wikia.com/Doctor_Sun_%28Earth-616%29) He wants to claim Dracula’s powers of dominion over vampires for his own, to raise his own army for world domination.
8) The gang and Dracula battle Sun’s soldiers and vampires, they win, but Sun escapes.
9) His dominion restored and the crisis over, Drac tries to claim Shelly, but is driven back by the team.
10) Drac takes his leave, but says he looks forward to facing them again and claiming his bride.
FF, Scotty, Andy, Rose Logan, Spider-Girl, Ghost Rider
“The New Fantastic Four”
1) A series of phone calls from Cassie summons Andy, Nick, and Rose to the Baxter Building, while a Spider-Signal is used to get May’s attention.
2) When the four are gather, “Cassie” explains that the FF have gone missing in the Negative Zone. With the Avengers unavailable, Cassie explains, she thought she could rely on those whose predecessors have aided the FF before/acted as a fill-in-team. Any lack of clarity on her part or evasion is mostly put down to her being worried and upset. They agree to help.
3) They travel to the FF’s last known location… Blastaar’s world. There, they battle their way through his citadel, only to find that the FF were never there in the first place. But boy is Blastaar angry… (Fight with Blastaar).
4) Meanwhile, back at the Baxter Building, Scotty returns home from school but discovers that Cassie is really Annhilus. His powers waning, the Living Death Who Walks knows his last chance of eliminating his rival and biggest threat to his life, Blastaar, lay in duping a group of highly dangerous individuals.
5) With HERBIE’s help, Scotty escapes Annihilus and finds and frees the real FF.
6) The four return in time to help the Four battle Annihilus, who is returned to the Negative Zone.
