The Strangest Stories Of “What If”

When Reading A Comic, Many Comic Book Audiences Ask Themselves What Would Happen If The Story Went Differently. 

Marvel’s What If stories also ask to answer such questions.

What If comics delve into parallel worlds in which changes in the key events of a story change the entire Marvel universe.

The first issue of this comic series was published in 1977, and it can be said with confidence that many stories in the form of “What if?”

Narrated. But some of these stories are more bizarre than others.

Danger of spoilers

In this article, we will refer to the narratives that took place in the What If comics. If you do not want the story of these comics to be revealed to you, avoid reading the full text and just read the titles.

When it comes to Dazzler, you probably think of her singing and playing games with X-Men. But in the 33rd issue of the first series of What If comics, Dazzler is forced to act as the messenger of Galactus. During this time, he found uninhabited planets to devour Galactus and somehow vegetated the character.

Galactus gradually destroyed his mind, changing everything in its path until A group attacked dazzler. Galactus immediately destroys them, rescues Dazzler, and finally allows the mutant to return to Earth. Dazzler was excited about returning to Earth, but there was a small problem.

Centuries have passed since the last time Dazzler was on the planet where he lived, and all living things on the planet have become extinct. Now that there is no one on earth to listen to his music, Dazzler returns to the leader of his devouring planet.

Is Tanus a member of the Avengers ?! During this version of the Marvel Infinity event, Tanus asked to join the Avengers to fight the Builders and save the Earth. Captain America did not trust the crazy Titan, but the rest of the Avengers, like Thor and Captain Marvel, were strangely cold-blooded about their former enemy joining them.

It later reveals that Tanus’ main reason for joining the Avengers was to kill his son, Thane. Captain America notices Tanus’ plans and tries to stop him but fails.

The evil Tanus also tells Thor that Captain America kills like a hero in the battle against the Builders. With the captain’s departure, Tanus is known as the new leader of the Avengers.

Ever wanted to know what would happen if Peter Parker’s dear cousin turned out to be an amazing Spider-May? Well, number 23 of the first series of What If comic is for you! Realizing that Peter had left his lunch at home, May went to his campsite; The same laboratory where that radioactive spider was!

Instead of web-shooters, Uncle May’s wife uses sewing thread to move around the city. But threads were not his only tools. May use the baking paste to stop the violins.

At the end of the story, the uncle’s wife decides to strike a balance in her life; Both as a hero and as someone who must take care of the dear and sensitive Peter.

What if Scott Summers and Jane Gray weren’t interested in each other?

Scott Summers, also known as the Cyclops, and Jane Gray are some of the most beloved couples in X-Men history. In this scenario, however, Jane was not interested in Cyclops. She was not even interested in Wolverine (another story in the same comic about this version of the story), but Warren Worthington or Angel. ) Became interested.

In this way, Cyclops becomes more immersed in his responsibilities as the leader of X-Men and becomes obsessed with stopping the mutant fraternity.

During a mission, Cyclops was about to die in an explosion, but Angel rescued him. Scott is not very happy about this, though!

When Cyclops reports his mission to Professor Xavier (who lost his powers in one of his previous missions), Xavier declares that he has seen everything that has happened.

Professor X had used his absence to test for cyclops, which he did not like. For this reason, Exoyer leads Beast instead of Scott. The story ends unexpectedly with Cyclops breaking away from X-Men and joining the Brotherhood of Mutants.

In this particular narrative, four of Marvel’s early writers become a copy of the Fantastic Four: Stan Lee as Mister Fantastic, Sol Brodsky as Human Torch.

Human Torch), Jack Kirby as Thing and Flo Steinberg as Invisible Woman. One day, a strange package arrives at Marvel Publishing. Inside the pack was a box that emitted cosmic rays that affected everyone in the room!

From that day on, Fantastic Four sought out those responsible for their conversion; The people of S. In this story, a version of Namor was introduced, and like the comics, he did not like the band Fantastic Four.

However, Nemours enmity with the author’s fictional foray changed when it became clear that the Skrulls had invaded his realm.

In the 34th issue of the first series of What If comic, we see different panels of strange situations on each page. “What if Black Bolt were a rock star?” It will end as you expect. “What if Uncle’s wife became a superhero?”

It continues the same situation we saw in issue 23; Only this time in the role of other heroes such as Invincible Golden Oldie, Astonishing Ant-Aunt, and Auntie Freeze. “What if Ghost Rider had a fast food set?” Showed that the spirit of revenge is not the best option for food services.

The strangest thing was that Watcher series narrator Watcher had become a comedian. Even Uatu himself was not immune to What If stories. It may be interesting to see such a mess for Marvel characters, but in “What Happens If Stan Lee Reads This Issue?” Lee tells the publishers that they have all been fired!
