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.
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.
