Things that would make Barack Obama accepting the Democratic nomination more interesting

[seriousfic]

Obama: I... do NOT accept the Democratic nomination! Instead, I declare myself... PHOENIX KING!

McCain: Not if this 112-year-old has anything to say about it!

Obama: You mean you're the Avatar who spent the last hundred years in stasis?

McCain: No, I'm just really old!

I think this makes Hillary into Fire Lord Azula. Which is insulting to both of them, when you think about it.

Now that I totally know what you're talking about because Avatar is my new favorite thing ever and it's only a matter of time, really, until I fail to stop myself from writing Avatar fanfic...hee!

And McCain really is freaking old. And he hasn't spent a hundred years in stasis. He's just old.

There needs to be an Avatar AU where Cap spent a hundred years in an iceberg, and when he wakes up Obadiah Stane and the Iron Nation have begun taking over the world (for its own good!).

Spider-Man could be Sokka. Tony Stark would be Zuko. JARVIS WOULD BE IROH!

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, Spider-Man would make an AMAZING Sokka.

...Deadpool would be the Cabbage Merchant.

"MY CABBAGES! ONE OF THEM WAS SHAPED LIKE BEA ARTHUR!"

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

XD It would be amazing.

...Toph would TOTALLY be Molly Hayes.

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

Suki would be Black Cat, Yue would be Gwen Stacy, Ty Lee would be MJ, Mei would be Pepper Potts...

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Who'd be Katara?

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

That's what I've been trying to figure out. She'd have to have a thing with both Steve and Tony, poor girl...

Maybe She-Hulk.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

She-Hulk'd probably work. Who doesn't she have a thing with?

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

The women of Marvel. :(

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

But that's what fanfiction is for!

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

Actually, Jean Grey would make a better Katara. And Emma Frost could be Azula! DELICIOUS.

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, I guess Mary-Jane would make a better Suki (Jackpot instead of Kyoshi warrior?) and Black Cat, being somewhat villainous, would make an awesome Ty Lee. Emma could grouse about how the boys like her more! LOLARIOUS!

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

That actually works completely perfectly. Because Ty Lee totally hit on Sokka in the show.

Also, then we get Emma/Felicia? I had never thought of this pairing before, yet I find it oddly alluring...

Jean Grey is definitely better than She-Hulk for Katara. Or you know who would be a perfect Katara? Cyclops. Except the whole being a guy thing. But personality wise, it's pretty much perfect.

Oh, GOY, Wolverine could be Jet. And Jeantara would totally fall for him, because he has retained the all-important oral fixation, only with cigars instead of straws.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Heh, YES!

And Uncle Ben would be Jeantara and Spiderokka's dead parent!

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

This AU is gonna be so weird when Peter and MJ!Suki meet.

Jean: OMG SHE IS JUST LIKE ME YOU WANT TO DO YOUR SISTER HALP!

Peter: Who was it that said I couldn't get together with the cute acrobat JUST BECAUSE she was Iron Nation? WHO WAS IT?

And instead of becoming the Blue Spirit, Tony Stark machine-bends himself into Iron Man. Shyeah.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

...this will also end up being Steve/Jean. Are we sure we need Captain America as the Avatar? There is the ice burg thing, but besides that it doesn't really work...

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

He could be Johnny Storm, but the cognitive dissonance of the Avatar suddenly being a firebender would be... weird.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

He definitely couldn't be Scott. Canonness of pairing aside.

Warren might work, though. He's got wings, that's air-like. And millionaire is kind of like a monk!

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

If we don't make gender a factor, it could be Kitty Pryde. Or Squirrel Girl. Or Jubilee.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

...

IT SHOULD TOTALLY BE SQUIRREL GIRL.

Momo can be Monkey Joe!

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

And Cap could be Avatar Roku!

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Yeah!

So we've got:

Aang = Squirrel Girl
Katara = Jean Grey
Sokka = Spider-Man
Toph = Molly Hayes
Zuko = Iron Man
Avatar Roku = Captain America
Azula = Emma Frost
Ty Lee = Black Cat
Suki = Mary Jane Watson
Yue = Gwen Stacy
Iroh = Jarvis
Mai = Pepper Pots
Jet = Wolverine
Cabbage Merchant = Deadpool

Am I forgetting anyone important?

I figure Ozai could be Obadiah Stane, given the Iron Nation thing and the general movieverse flavor of the Iron Man bits. I think we left out the Earth King and Admiral Zhao.

Although, I think the Professor and his kid (you know, the wheelchair one) could be the Fantastic Four with a little work.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

And King Boomy. Oh! Actually, Deadpool would work really well as King Boomy! Insanity and stuff. Of course, he hates Squirrel Girl, but that's close enough to being friends!

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

Could Dardevil be Toph?

Punisher could be one of Jetverine's troops.

And Dr. Doom could be Fire Lord Ozai... Iron Monger Doom? With mention that Obadiah Stane was the Iron Monger that started the war. But Doom fought in a dual that scarred Tony, forcing him to wear an apparatus to keep his heart functioning. Hence his secret identity of Ironheart!

And maybe Speedball would make a better Aang, with Squirrel Girl as his squirrel-bending teacher.

Squirrel-bending: Like spirit-bending, only SUPER EFFECTIVE!

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

I still think Molly Hayes is a better Toph than Daredevil. Daredevil has the blindness and the able to see in unconventional ways thing, but Molly has the little girl who can beat you up thing.

Plus, Daredevil's a lawyer. Toph would hate lawyers.

Speedball probably would make a better Aang. He also has the gender thing working for him.
