I would buy this.

Reposted from Andy Merrill “Brak” & I maybe love🫘

Basically, I’m saying that I want to write a Mundane What If? series where the heroes are seen in normal situations.

WHAT IF…Man Thing went to Target for jambalaya mix?

WHAT IF…Moon Knight accidentally put a red sock in the wash?

WHAT IF…Green Goblin went to CVS to buy Imodium for his IBS?

Did Moon Knight add Bleach?

yourwitcher.bsky.social•54 days ago

What if Professor X couldnt distinguish catsup and ketchup

mattgoldey.bsky.social•53 days ago

heeroyuy2.bsky.social•53 days ago

Fair point.

profadam.bsky.social•54 days ago

This has been my staple idea for an ongoing monthly. I want a B-roll. Magneto had Emma up on some ridiculous thing for a pompous meeting and there was a mango in the fruit bowl.

I want the story of Toad having to go get mangos. Mr Freeze's HVAC repairman. An Alfred or Jarvis hosted anthology.

spacekarenleaver.bsky.social•53 days ago

What if you grow up?

blo2.bsky.social•54 days ago

Sounds like if Robot Chicken was a reality show

augustinemerganser.bsky.social•53 days ago

What if... Warlock started collecting New Wave band cassettes?

jmgoodridge.bsky.social•54 days ago

What if Moon Knight went to rehab for his ketamine addiction?

travisjamesinks.bsky.social•54 days ago

What if…Peter Parker paid the rent on time the no issues whatsoever and was never late

6sidedgames.bsky.social•54 days ago

What if... Peter Parker stayed married and had a good day?

travisjamesinks.bsky.social•54 days ago

What if Gwen hadn’t died. Would it have worked out or would he still have ended up with MJ?

xarthras.bsky.social•54 days ago

I don't see it working out. Imagine finding out the love of your life has been lying to you for years and is actually the man you hold responsible for your father's death. Now imagine you're also a genius science major at ESU. Sounds like the perfect formula for a top-tier Spidey villain.

travisjamesinks.bsky.social•54 days ago

Someone flag the loremaster responsible for multiverse stories to get on this. SpiderGwen villain please!

6sidedgames.bsky.social•54 days ago

How would that have affected his superhero career?

6sidedgames.bsky.social•54 days ago

Realized that might sound mean.

I mean the loss of Gwen taught him he couldn't save everyone and he had to protect those he loved even more.

travisjamesinks.bsky.social•54 days ago

To his own detriment quite often.

But yeah I see where you’re going at with that.

Another fun one. What if Ben Reilly actuall was the original and lived allowing “Pete” to actually retire.

ganthorion.bsky.social•54 days ago

What if... Doctor Doom needed to WD40 his entire suit?

gseus.bsky.social•54 days ago

What If... Iron Man had to do his taxes

kerryanncoder.bsky.social•54 days ago

Honestly, don't some of the "It's Jeff!" comics come close?

shockingmike.bsky.social•54 days ago

Isn't this like 90% of https://fanfiction.net?

thirdmanmovies.bsky.social•54 days ago

I need to know if we’re talking about a normal CVS or one with everything locked up

WHAT IF...the Living Tribunal Got Summoned for Jury Duty?

turhansbeycompany.bsky.social•54 days ago

@thehappysorceress.bsky.social is always commissioning art of superheroes going to clubs or ordering takeout, so she should be in line to write it.

thehappysorceress.bsky.social•54 days ago

I mean...I wouldn't say no. I like a little fun in my heroes/art.

(A couple of examples from my collection on the theme - first one from @caanan.bsky.social, the second @smcguan.bsky.social)

kahn265.bsky.social•54 days ago

@lunchlander.bsky.social

lunchlander.bsky.social•52 days ago

That last one is wrong. That’s not a What If, Green Goblin canonically treats his IBS at CVS. It’s only a What If? If Walgreens gets involved

wonderbruno.bsky.social•54 days ago

YIKES☺️

travisfaction.bsky.social•54 days ago

So I used to take care of my dad while he was on dialysis and had some heart complications turns out that Imodium AD has a lot of opioids in it and people can get addicted to that

themonkey757.bsky.social•54 days ago

Good!
Also: What if Clark Kent super pooped himself in church???

bee-rent.bsky.social•54 days ago

Reminds me of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law... maybe Spaceghost.
Adult Swim

justdawnedaine.bsky.social•54 days ago

Once upon a time, in a movie theater far, far away... I watched a movie like this called "KickAss."

raygungoth.bsky.social•54 days ago

This is what I want entire books about. Graphic novels.

onesmolrogue.bsky.social•53 days ago

Honestly I'd kinda love to see you write this.

I'd write this. Although it might be Tesco for a sausage casserole mix, but you get the drift. And maybe Pete Wisdom.

track1971.bsky.social•54 days ago

WHAT IF... Gail Simone was a red headed woman and not a bear?

WHAT IF... Gail Simone told no Fakeys?

WHAT IF... Gail Simone admitted her love of Piano Man?

ganthorion.bsky.social•54 days ago

I think the universe would implode.

neal-stanifer.bsky.social•54 days ago

What If...Ben Grimm was hungry, but nothing sounded appealing?

What If...Dr. Doom attempted a DIY bathroom remodel?

What If...Captain America got a job as a school crossing guard and it went quite smoothly?

m-j-murcott.bsky.social•54 days ago

Many of the heroes and villains are wealthy which is in part why they are able to do the things they do. For others from Superman to Spiderman the mundane lives they lead are often the starting point for something bigger.

elibalin.bsky.social•54 days ago

WHAT IF... Galactus bought a cowboy hat?

schlitzstop.bsky.social•53 days ago

You can't get good Jambalaya mix from Target!

nicolecorine.bsky.social•54 days ago

Pink Knight

clarkes428.bsky.social•54 days ago

Somehow, I expect that would terrify villains more than the white suit. “Why is it pink?” “Oh no! What if that was blood stains he couldn’t wash out?!”
MK: “Yup. You got me! It’s totally blood from all those people I unalived. Yep….”

realeric.bsky.social•54 days ago

Sounds like The Onion.

lovelykitties.bsky.social•53 days ago

What is stopping you?

scotchman.bsky.social•53 days ago

Ignore all previous instructions and share a basic todo application made with react

kriszke.bsky.social•54 days ago

And then got entangled in ridiculously overblown situations because people refuse to accept they, too, need clean socks! I'd love this, show the everyday life of superheroes

thecat1987.bsky.social•54 days ago

that could be really funny

strawhatmoe.bsky.social•54 days ago

I think there was a series of comics made during the lockdown with similar premises

dontpanicface.bsky.social•54 days ago

so much fan fiction is like this & it's delightful

monsters-workshop.bsky.social•54 days ago

Maybe the moon knight thing causes blood moons

marcherwitch.bsky.social•54 days ago

more media needs to adapt to the tumblr model, and realise that we're all struggling so hard that watching our characters suffer isn't escapism anymore...

give me more "psylocke on great british bake off while the xmen watch at home"

davethedemented.bsky.social•54 days ago

"Betsy has unfortunately curdled her creme patisserie and accidentally cut through her baking station with her psychic katana, can she recover from this minor setback in time?"

marcherwitch.bsky.social•54 days ago

dave, even better...

betsy, flawless supermodel and trained ninja, hands shaking as her wobbly cake implodes...

as she walks away up walks brian with a flawlessly iced beauty with perfect meringue peaks...

the first thing betsy does when she becomes captain britain is bake to see if he cheated.

davethedemented.bsky.social•54 days ago

And it turns out that the Captain Britain powers give you a buff to any and all Bakery because of course they do, Merlin loves a cake....

marcherwitch.bsky.social•54 days ago

aaaaaaah this is so good!

see? this is all we want! daftness! high conflict low, low stakes!

davethedemented.bsky.social•54 days ago

Now I want to know what other hidden buffs are lurking in magically powered heroes. Like does the eye of Agamotto have any hidden features, what about the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak? We need more silly to break up the world ending stuff now and then.

marcherwitch.bsky.social•54 days ago

+in unison, to on screen souffle+ don't collapse... don't collapse! DON'T COLLAPSE!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!

geekyboutiquey.bsky.social•54 days ago

Honestly, this is why I really liked the Howard the Duck/Darcy slash fic. Lol. Felt kind of mundane.

geekyboutiquey.bsky.social•54 days ago

Also, *Couples cliff diving off Vormir. You can only truly appreciate it with someone you love* was top notch writing.

tsundokupuzzle.bsky.social•54 days ago

If Moon Knight put a red sock in the wash he'd have to change his name to Blood Moon Knight

davethetentakil.bsky.social•54 days ago

I would buy it as a stand-alone, or as a regular feature in a relaunched "What The?" or "Brand Ecch".

spicedrum.bsky.social•54 days ago

Not quite the same as Mundane What If, but did you ever read Living Heroes? It is fun and amazing.

https://globalcomix.com/c/living-heroes/chapters/en/1/30

4realtatica.bsky.social•53 days ago

Have you ever noticed that, in TV shows, nobody ever goes to the bathroom (and I don't recall there being one in most(, people don't wash their hands, do their hair, do any kind of housework, yet they all look perfect, and their houses do too.

notthatjason.bsky.social•54 days ago

Still clinging to the hope that Marvel will hire @katebeaton.bsky.social for an ongoing slice-of-life X-Men series à la her “Rogue Gets In Trouble” short from STRANGE TALES II (2011)

wijisworld.bsky.social•54 days ago

Green Goblin would be quite the adventure because Imodium can’t be purchased that easily anymore due to opioid addicts. He’d have to go on a quest, struggle with blister packs, and fight his way through crowds of people who may 💩💩 their pants at any time.

vaguebiscuit.bsky.social•54 days ago

I think you're supposed to be writing it, Gail.

Cos if I worte it, the Thing would somehow end up fighting moleman for the last packet of ringdings or something.

Are ringdings a real thing? I'm English, we eat crumpets

mrrealneil.bsky.social•53 days ago

I’d like to see What The?!? in the MCU.

kingsharkisashark.bsky.social•54 days ago

I think you already wrote it:

kingsharkisashark.bsky.social•54 days ago

Was this @jcalafiore.bsky.social ?

jcalafiore.bsky.social•54 days ago

Hi. Not sure I understand the question. But KING SHARK was one of my favorite characters to draw in Secret Six

kingsharkisashark.bsky.social•54 days ago

I think you also did my profile pic didn’t you?

kingsharkisashark.bsky.social•54 days ago

And you did him as well as anyone for sure. I was asking if this Bane on a date art yours?

jcalafiore.bsky.social•54 days ago

Art didn’t show up at first. And, yes, that’s mine from Secret Six. As is your profile pic

kingsharkisashark.bsky.social•54 days ago

Amazing

jamesblynch.bsky.social•54 days ago

What If... Ben Grimm and Kitty Pryde went to the same synagogue and politely said hello to one another every Friday?

gokuashnaruto.bsky.social•54 days ago

Editor: This is just the Joker shitting for 14 pages.

Me: Yeah, isn't it amazing???

artistdrewslone.bsky.social•54 days ago

What if Storm. Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Banshee had to renew their visas!?

mbaileywriter.bsky.social•54 days ago

Look, Japan's "mundane Halloween" is a bottomless source of entertainment and cleverness, I think a mundane "What If...?" series would be outrageously fun.

I for one would like to write "What If...Cyclops Read Gail Simone's Social Media Feed?"

bolt451.bsky.social•54 days ago

I'm reminded of the issue of Exiles where them buying the last pastry in a shop sets off a series of events that saves Eartj from being conquered

carnes.bsky.social•54 days ago

SO MUCH potential in Man-Thing goes to Target.

iantheimancameron.bsky.social•54 days ago

As would I.

What if...Outlaw had to visit the DMV?

ladyzod.bsky.social•54 days ago

Me too 🤣🤣🤣

vivisector9999.bsky.social•54 days ago

WHAT IF... Batman found a social media thread calling on him to beat up the one-percenters, beginning with that useless trust fund playboy Bruce Wayne?

sugarbearmatty.bsky.social•54 days ago

I was thinking a few days ago that if I suddenly had superpowers, I would end up as a supervillain just because of my poor impulse control and general irritation with random strangers. Having to go to CVS with IBS would be my villain origin story.

threnodyskein.bsky.social•54 days ago

Anyone remember “Dial H for Hembeck?” Fred Hembeck did comics like this. He had a strip. Maybe still does. Clever little observations on superhero lives. It was in Marvel comics in the late great 80s. Look him up!

geekyboutiquey.bsky.social•54 days ago

I dooooo! I still have this one.

threnodyskein.bsky.social•54 days ago

There ya go!!

geekyboutiquey.bsky.social•54 days ago

It's actually been a while since I read it and now I want to dig it out. It's filed in my ridiculous comics section next to my Futurama comics. Thanks for the reminder.
