Tom, I kinda hate the Falcon as Cap just because we all know its going to be undone. Same thing with female Thor, Doc Ock as Spider-Man, Wolverine dying, Cyclops or Iron Man or whomever as a villain. They're cool twists on characters but they're stupid when they last maybe a year and then just get switched back. MAKE ACTUAL CHANGE IN YOUR BOOKS.

Given all of the things that you listed, what would you consider actual change? It seems like you’ve eliminated all possibilities from consideration (not to mention made assumptions about dozens of storylines.)

This is an inane view to me. It is through these temporary shifts that the reader is able to experience the characters, and world in all new situations. The die has been cast in regards to the foundation of the Marvel Universe. 100 years from now, Steve Rogers is still likely to be Captain America. Periodically the creators are able to develop situations that allows for the types of status quo changes we would have got if true linear development were allowed. I welcome them.
