You go, Dave.<BR/><BR/>I'd point out that (maybe because they were few and far between) <I>What If</I>s in which the characters did <I>not</I> die at the end are frequently my favorite: the on where Doom listened to Reed and became a hero yet is haunted by a deal with Mephisto. The one where the FF never gets their powers but still becomes a quartet of adventurers putting smack down on the Mole Man. The one where Spidey reveals his identity to Gwen and they must go into hiding to remain together.<BR/><BR/>And that king of kings, "What if the Original Marvel Bullpen Had become the Fantastic Four?" Sheer brilliance, over-the-top goofy excitement, and nobody died.<BR/><BR/>Still.
