No, this is not an amalgamation game. That's not to say that everything has to stay [i]exactly[/i] as it is. Who's to say things wouldn't have changed if Superman, Thor, Lobo, and Squirrel Girl all existed in the same universe? Perhaps Matt Murdock would have been chosen as a Green Lantern? Perhaps Snapper Carr may have been out of that nuclear testing field instead of Rick Jones?

My rule is this: as long as the spirit of the character is the same, I'm cool with it. I'm not so precious with the specifics that everyone has to be exactly the same but I do ask that we stay true to the spirit of the characters.

All right, so not rip the Firestorm Summers idea, then.
