Marvel/SMT Crossover Idea

Marvel/SMT Crossover Idea

Why this crossover? ...Why not?

It's overall a pretty basic idea at the moment. I would do my best to combine what I can of the Marvel Universe and the SMT Universe, highly likely leaning into the mythological sides of both, maybe trying to figure out how to fit things like mutants in as I go along?

Going with what I have learned through some research of my own and a bit of the SMT playthroughs I have been catching live on Twitch, I would have likely go for a sort of combination of both Marvel Thor and SMT Thor, having it be that Marvel Thor's human identity Eric Masterson is acting as the Knowledge of SMT Thor, creating a Nahobino.

I have yet to play an SMT game so I'm not as well versed as I would like to be, however I am thinking of picking up SMTV at some point. You can only learn so much on a game without playing it, you know?

Wish I could say more, but sometimes I got basic ideas and can only write some of it out.

If I had to describe this song, it would be something like haunting yet beautiful. The strings and drum beats mixed with Gordy's vocals is a great combination for an idea for a story of the fallen angel.

I have also had Arcane on the brain lately, so at some point when listening to this, the idea of this being something a montage of Jinx is set to just kind of popped into my head. It could be used for either her relationship with Vander or Silco, maybe both. The idea that she had sort of "rebelled" and done something to cause a rift with her father.

Now, the way the rift between father and child is very different for Lucifer and Jinx, but I can imagine in some alternate universe, that both could be acquaintances at the very least.

So... still thinking of Darksiders/League of Legends crossovers, and one thing that could be cool to see? War fighting Aatrox. Just imagine it! The Red Rider versus The Darkin Blade! A battle for the ages! Some of the biggest and baddest of their universes likely quake in fear once one of them show up!

Could War be the one to not only destroy the Darkin Blade, but finally put Aatrox to rest? Or would Aatrox come out on top with War as a new, powerful vessel for his plan to end the world?

I could potentially see it going either way. I am entirely unsure which would come out on top in more scenarios. Both are functionally immortal, with the power to potentially end worlds when at their strongest.

Hmmm. The brighter side of my mind makes me want War to potentially win this, at least so that the Darkin Blade himself can hopefully finally die. Aatrox only wishes to end the world because he's a broken man who is unkillable, all in the hopes that by ending everything that it would include his own end. Maybe War could give Aatrox that finality he so wishes for?

So... with Marvel, particularly X-23, on the mind a bit lately and wanting to get back into my SMT V: Vengeance playthrough, I kinda got to thinking of what would her role be in an SMT/Marvel Crossover AU. Taking some inspiration from the time she was Captain Universe, maybe she could be a Nahobino? Or maybe she could be someone like Tao or Yoko? Or maybe the Tao-like or Yoko-like role could go to a different character?

I do know if I write something for an SMT/Marvel Crossover AU, I would like to do something with Thor, both versions, where it's something like Eric Masterson is SMT Thor's Knowledge. Or maybe have it be Kevin Masterson, Eric Masterson's son? I also just had the idea while typing this of maybe writing something with Andi Benton, maybe making the Mania Symbiote like Aogami while Andi is the human who bonded. Maybe I will go with that instead, maybe so that I can try writing something with Andi meeting Nico Minoru and Laura and them going on a journey similar to what the Nahobino and company do in SMTV. Or maybe I could go with a combination of these ideas? Have Andi and Laura in roles similar to Tao and Yoko while whoever I make Thor's Knowledge is the protagonist?

Another idea is having Franklin Richards as the protagonist, with Rachel Summers as the one with a kinda similar role to Tao or Yoko. This idea popped in my head when mulling over the many possibilities for an SMT/Marvel Crossover. Franklin has cosmic power in the comics, the ability to create a miniature universe, while Rachel is one of the hosts of the Phoenix Force. Obviously, for this crossover idea, I will depower Franklin a bit, and I will probably try thinking of a mythological being for him to be the Knowledge of.

So... a while ago I made a post about how I think it would be cool to see a team-up of Andi Benton, Laura Kinney, and Nico Minoru. Today, another team-up that I think could be cool to see is Laura Kinney and Victor Mancha. Both are a person made to be used by a malicious force as a "tool" against others. Laura by The Facility as a living weapon for mostly assassination missions, while Victor was created by Ultron to be used against the Avengers. Pretty sure both also had a mother who loved and cared for them that is now not in the picture. I know Laura was forced to kill her mother, but I admit I can't remember what exactly happened to Victor’s mother.

Also, slight tangent, but I know there is this headcanon for some that Laura is Trans, considering she is stated to be a clone of Logan, so it popped in my head of "How come no one headcanons Victor as Trans?" Because you know, Ultron ain't got genetics, so I am pretty sure all of Victor’s come from his mother.

Anyways! There is some similarities that I think could allow a cool team-up with these two. Maybe something like Ultron gets ahold of whatever files The Facility had left and decides to use whatever knowledge they give him to attempt a new plan of wiping out The Avengers or some such? Or maybe a whole new villain that only the two of them working together can help defeat?

What are anybody else's thoughts on this?
