How to Illustrate the Conflicts Within a Team of Superheroes

I was watching an episode of What If . . . ?. Missy overheard the Watcher describing himself and his role, and asked, “Oh, is that who you based the Judger on?” I think the laws that govern parody and fair use are robust enough that I can admit some small inspiration on that score.

I enjoyed season one of What If . . .? and am looking forward to season two. Ric also enjoyed it, but not as much as I.  His reason was fascinating. He says he doesn’t like the idea of fictional stories about fictional characters.

If you need further explanation, you’re not alone.

His point was that the series supposedly explores interesting possible events that are different from what really happened, but these are made-up superheroes. None of it really happened.

He has a point, a nit-picky, confusing point, but a point none the less.

Note from Missy: As stated in the comic, I hate to agree with The Knifeketeer. But I kind of agree!  It’s more AU fanfiction than the “alternate history” it feels like they’re pushing.  Ugh, I DO feel weird now!
