besides the last 300 of marvel's mutants holding off the Shair/Kree empire, just so we can finally see Wolvie die.

Superman would be a good match with a modernised Labours of Heracles cycle. Original Superman, as was seen in the earliest Action Comics and the Fleischer movie cartoons.

Well, you can already do the Brisingamen Cycle with Marvel's heros... but can you with the DC heros?

Or maybe they can use Captain Marvel. He's got the strength, the flight and the speed and without those randomly made up powers that Supes has been known to have. And even though he's got "The Wisdom Of Solomon" sometimes it's hard for the young Billy Batson he is on the inside to listen, espescially if he gets hot under the collar about something.
