Anime Marvel xovers.

SpiderMan and Bubblegum Crisis:
1 <snip>

	Mackie as SpiderMan... Okayy.... ^_^;

Ahh, no.  I just don't see this one happening.  Mostly because of the 
realization Peter Parker learns after his Uncle Ben dies, "with great 
power comes great responsibility,"  and truthfully, the death of his 
father aside, Mackie always seems to treat the whole Knight Saber thing 
with less than a serious attitude.

2 Nene's mother is actually the daughter of Peter Parker and Mary 

Jane.

	Ah, a tie-in to the current continuity.  Well this has some
potential if Mom and/or Grandpa show up, however there is one question
which must be raised... have Nene-chan's powers simply not kicked in 

yet, or is she hiding them for obvious reasons (Sylia would _have_ to 
know, but odds are she'd be willing to use her as an ace in the hole)?

	Of corse this really complicates things if Osborne wants to horn in on 

Quincy's action (or worse, if he _is_ Quincy)

Now there's a way to pull this off.  I like this one a lot more than the 
first suggestion, especially mking Quincy Osbourne.  It would be a good 
way to draw in Peter again.

3 A container holding Venom's symbiot is smugled into Tokyo, only to 
break in a ADP raid.

	Of course the ugliness of this situation varies exponentially with who 

'Blackie' finds herself attached to....

	(maybe this could be tied into idea #2)

Yeah, or maybe take it a step further and have Venom's offspring Carnage 
merge with somebody with a really bad attitude.  Or a deep desire for  
revenge like Priss (Genom watch out).  Or somebody with very repressed 
emotions, like Sylia.  

	Of course I have long wondered what would happen to Sylia (AKA the
Poster Girl for Repressed Emotion) if she had a close encounter with an
overloading experimental Gamma reactor (think large, green, and 

extremely 

miffed <sadistic grin>).

(speaking of which)  Wow, that could really suck for everybody involved.  
I wouldn't try X-Men at all, god it's been done to death so many times.  
But how about adding an updated version of the Punisher to Megatokyo?  
How he would reacte to the Knight Sabers and Genom in general would be 
very interesting to see.

  "Creativity is dangerous.  We cannot open ourselves to 
   new insight without endangering the security of our 
   prior assumptions.  We cannot propose new ideas without 
   risking disapproval and rejection.  Creative 
   achievement is the boldest initiative of mind, an 
   adventure that takes its hero simultaneously to the rim 
   of knowledge and the limits of propriety.  Its pleasure 
   is not the comfort of the safe harbor, but the thrill 
   of the reaching sail."
