Earth 3 Marvel fam and associates ideas

Okay so, context, Earth 3 is a mess. I’ve already had a headache realizing their Wonder Woman is apparently Lois and yet somehow Donna exists there too so bear with me, I’m just making shit up for this mess of a universe that’s just the dystopian “Heroes are villains and everything sucks” world DC pulls random threats from.

So, the main Thing™️ with Earth 3 is that things are reversed morally, the heroes are villains and vice versa. So if we account the still existing Marvel Family characters then all the villains for that world are Billy, Mary, Freddy, Uncle Dudley, Tawny, and The Wizard. I won’t include the other Shazamily siblings of Darla, Pedro, and Eugene bc DC doesn’t give them enough character to be swapped properly and they didn’t get to be heroes for a long time, this is more pre-2011 Marvel Fam based with the consistent characters form then that still exist now.

That means that the villains/anti-heroes of the family are as follows would be the Earth 3 heroes or do-gooders. Black Adam, Satanus, Blaze, the Sins, Sivana, and other miscellaneous rogues from their gallery.

So, ideas as I have them for this swap.

Historically for this switch The Wizard and the powers of Shazam (or Mazahs but I’ll keep using Shazam for simplicity’s sake) were inherently given to bad people, so it’s probably closer to some cabal of evil gods or demons who started the Shazam legacy with The Wizard and lived as tyrants or general evil villainous wizards until we got to modern day with Billy. His history swap would stem into his backstory too, making his parents less lovable as greedy archaeologists and his uncle Ebenezer not kick him out but instead probably do his best raising a horrible child, so Billy wouldn’t be homeless, he’d be a brat. Mary would also still be with Billy, some part for simplicity’s sake in the universe but also bc of Theo changes.

Another historical change would have to be Theo and Black Adam, who would switch to being good people apropos to their villain and anti-hero standings. Instead of taking the scarab necklace in the tomb for selfish reasons Theo would take it to preserve a historical relic and, in self defense, kill the Batsons as a role reversal of that situation and run away. If Mary is there he doesn’t kidnap her this go around, just sends her home to her kindly uncle Ebenezer and goes to his boss Sivana asking for help legally bc he literally just murdered two people. Cue The Wizard begrudgingly having to pass his powers onto someone new because either his benefactors demand new hosts or because of a selfish legacy reason and chooses the vile Batson twins to be his Champions of Villainy. Cue the renaming of Captain Billy and Scary Mary (names taken from what apparently was a prototype name for Captain Marvel and the YJ tv shows name for an evil Mary used to be the villain names two kids would come up with)

Theo then realizes the power of the scarab necklace and uses it to gain the powers of his ancestor, Black Adam, who was a cruel tyrant of a king the Wizard sought to make his earthly pawn but was reformed into being an agent of good by this universes Lady Blaze (who in this context would be the daughter of an Angel of sorts instead of a demon) and fought against the Wizard instead which led to his imprisonment in the necklace. Theo is beat by Billy and Mary who slit his throat personally to stop him from ever calling on the powers again and throw him in prison for the murder of their parents with him unable to claim self defense with no word to go against a dead couples. Double down on the bastardization of the Batson twins by making them tearfully make accounts of Adams villainy and desire to hurt their folks to make sure he stays out of their hair.

The Sins and Blaze are easy switches, you just make them the Seven Heavenly Allies of Humanity/ the Virtues and make Blaze and Satanus angel-kin with the minor name change of Satanus to something less Satan-sounding, like after a Saint or other angel. Sivana simply becomes a good scientist who still has two good children and two bad children, they’re just swapped. Beautia and Magnificus are cruel, spiteful people while Georgia and Thad Jr. are much more like their father and want to make things better in the horrible world they live in. Black Adam would closer resemble some prophet or elected official trying to save a land without a hero in Khandaq, leaning into the Anti-Heroism by trying to make Khandaq isolationist and use his magic to keep villains out by force or at the cost of his own life.

What wouldn’t change for any of them— Billy, Mary, Sivana, and Adam— is an overwhelming sense of family and the need to protect it. Billy and Mary would be upset their parents died more so because those are their parents and would be protective of the other more so in a “That’s my family” way than a “That’s my family” way. Sivana still loves his kids and Adam still loves his home.

Back to associates, Freddy and Dudley would also be swapped but Freddy more so into being a horrible person. As a part of the ensemble rogues gallery Krieger would be... well, what he is. Instead, Freddy would be more like him with those ideals while being a lackey for Billy and Mary instead of a close friend. And in keeping with the horribleness of the whole universe, he'd back stab them if he could but doing so normally gets his powers revoked and left in chronic pain from his bad leg. Billy and Mary are dangling being "perfect" and "powerful" over his head to get rid of his pain. Like, he's still a bad person but those two are just as bad and bad to him.

Dudley is still a con man, to put it simply, he's just successful at it and malicious in his practice. He's who the twins and Freddy replace the useless Ebenezer with after he "Suffers a terrible and unforeseeable stroke" to let them get their way with things.

Tawny is a maneater. He is a tiger and Captain Billys personal lapcat that happily devours nuisances and gnaws on their bones in the meantime.

Those are my thoughts to actually have some flesh to these versions of them, take the ideas as you please or tell me what you think about this!

Just started watching suits recently and was wondering if you had any good fic recs, particularly AUs. The nature of the show really lends itself to Selkie fics imo but also I just love selkies

anon i need you to know that as soon as i saw your ask i immediately went scouring through the AU tag on ao3. i’m not gonna lie, i'm not usually an AU reader but i wanted to challenge myself to provide some recs as unbiasedly as possible.

at first observation, i noticed a lot of the AU fics were still in some way canon (divergent and adjacent)-- usually splitting off somewhere along the show or a situation where Mike or Harvey is still a lawyer, while the other was not. i will say i skipped over smut-based (omegaverse, bdsm) and lengthy fics (under 20k is nothing, anything more than 50k is pushing it for me) cause i just did not have the brainpower to even try to get through them :/

so of course the ones i ended up liking were mostly canon divergent/adjacent but i tried my best to get you something different. what i managed to dig up for you is under the cut and i really hope you like them anon (also fyi these are all pretty much marvey fics, hope that's okay!) <3 also thanks so much for the ask! i enjoyed this little scavenger hunt haha!

lynn murray witnessing her son getting taken away by the television, screaming in agony and grief and pure, motherly rage. lynn punching the television that stole her son, over and over again, screaming to let him go, to give him back. she receives the alternate version of her son from cracked and mangled hands, pushing the baby into her arms desperately. she doesnt realize that the alternate has tricked her. she wont know until its too late.

the television is broken, lynn's hand is bleeding, and the tears that have pooled down her face have dried. her child is crying. she gets up from shock, holding her child in her arms like he'll get stolen again (its a possibility. she doesnt know where or when adam could get snatched again), and goes to the master bedroom. she's alone, with her child, not knowing when or if jude is coming home soon, or if what happened actually did.

the only evidence of the act being her bloodied, possibly broken fingers, and the television screen being smashed to bits, glass almost everywhere in the baby's room. she first wraps her son, her beloved baby boy, in a towel, and places him in the bath. she has full view of him from here, in case they come from the drains this time, yet enough room to fix up her hand. the hammering in her head, blurred and sore vision make her unable to focus on anything but her baby.

after painstakingly getting the bits of glasses that were stuck in her knuckles out, wrapping her hand up the best she can, she sits in the bathtub with him. its silent, save for the attempts to calm her breathing, the heartbeat slamming against every rib in her chest, and the incoherent, quiet babble coming from beside her. shifting in her seat, she stares at adam. her boy, her precious bundle of joy, almost died by something she had no comprehension of.

the thought terrified her. what if they come from the phone next? what if they break down her door? what if they torture such an innocent baby? who even are they? the thoughts raced in her mind, hands moving before she even registered that shes hugging her knees tightly, nails digging into the fabric of her pants. the tears start back up again, lynn quietly whimpering while adam falls back asleep, none the wiser.

she startles when the phone rings in her back pocket. the uncomfortable lump shes felt the entire shes sitting here has been her phone. shifting around, she answers the phone. her voice, hoarse from yelling and crying, stutters and stops.

"lynn? honey, im on my way home. i know im a bit late but the boss wanted me to do overtime." jude's voice was static-y, no doubt from the bad connection. lynn felt herself relax a bit, hands still shaky and mind still racing, though calmed by her husbands voice. "jude. i- i saw... i did- i-" she felt her throat close up, still trying to process what to even say. "something bad happened." how else could she describe it? could she?

"lynn? what the hell? what happened? did something happen to adam?" he sounded urgent, and perhaps even accusatory. "yes. no. i dont know. i cant describe- i- it all happened so fast- that- he's-" "lynn, what the fuck are you saying?" anger, now. "the television. it- it took him. but i- i got him back." silence. and then a very loud, very disappointed sigh. "listen, lynn. just- look, youre obviously hysterical right now, ill talk to you when i get home." dial tone.

she felt dread pool in her stomach, though she knew that it had to be a terrifying hallucination. it had to be. it had to be. why would televisions grab children? that doesnt make any sense. none of this made any sense. if her mind wasnt safe, what was? could she trust anything that she sees from now on? questions, yet again, filled her mind. the now silent bathroom, save for the occasional baby noises from a sleeping adam, mocked her.

she gets sent to a mental hospital for years, until adam no longer remembers shes even alive. the quest to find her, once again, ignites.

Here’s a bunch of misc Adam doodles cuz I haven’t stopped obsessing over him-

Made these while at Dragoncon, it was nice to have art inspo for once ^^

I enjoy horrific shapeshifter shenanigans. Might make a post bout how I imagine it works for Adam at some point, we’ll see tho- I’ve got many, many thoughts on the subject lol

Pls ignore the hand below melty Adam, I drew it to practice hand anatomy first and I liked it and didn’t wanna erase it so. I just. fit him in above it- qvq

So for votes on who to scream about, we had a good amount of votes for Limbo and Stanley and Cesar, so I'm gonna get Limbo and Stanley down first, Cesar is on the way though!

Starting off with two of the main Alternates I’ve thought out, we have Limbo and Stanley.

“But what were they like BEFORE they were the way they are now?” I hear you ask! Well, I’ve thought that through almost perfectly! Under the cut though because I have. Many thoughts about these guys and they live in my head rent free.

Trigger warnings for: Murder of sibling, implied suicide, implied murder, unprepared parenthood, sibling rivalry, canon divergence(idk if that's a trigger but just in case-), child favoritism, death mention, implied bad parenting, stuff like that, be careful!

Stanley and Limbo(Born Stanley Ravensburg and Cain Ravensburg) were born to Mary Ravensburg and Noah Ravensburg on December 15th, 1962.

Cain was an “accident-child”, as their mother only wanted to have one kid as it was all she was prepared to raise. Should she have been more prepared in case of twins? Probably, but she didn’t really have the time to prepare.

Stanley was always the favorite of the family, as he came out first and thus was seen as the wanted child.

They still took care of Cain, Stanley was just the favorite. Cain, growing up, always tried to one-up Stanley as a way of trying to earn his parents’ affection, but it never really worked out for him.

Eventually, he gave up on trying to earn their affection, and started doing things for himself. He’d always enjoyed game shows as a kid, so he wanted to host one himself someday, so he worked towards that, building a name for himself in the acting/entertainment world.

He finally gained the adoration he so desired! He was ecstatic!!

Then Stanley became a weather forecaster. People found HIM more entertaining due to his hilariously monotone way of speaking, even if he was warning about a hurricane or tornado.

Cain was furious, subtly casting shade at his brother occasionally when he was on-air(“What’s a two word name for an occupation that’s boring?”, stuff like that)

Stanley eventually found out and returned the gesture, it hurting worse as Stanley had always been painfully blunt and honest.(“What’s got roughly the same amount of letters as attention whore, but means practically the same thing?”) That sorta cost Cain most of his viewership.

This was the last straw for Cain. Cain finally had had enough of Stanley. He’d had enough of living in his shadow.

It wouldn’t be too much, just one shot and Stanley would just be hospitalized, right?

Then came the day he shot Stanley. He aimed too high.

Cain felt joy for all of a few moments before he realized: Stanley wasn’t moving anymore. He started panicking. It wasn’t supposed to be fatal, he didn’t want Stanley dead, just hospitalized for a few days, that’s all Cain wanted.

After he realized what happened, Cain dropped the gun he shot Stanley with and rushed back into his car, hurrying to drive away from the scene, having a slight panic attack as he drove off.

He went off-grid for a while after that, changing his name and appearance. The first week before he changed his mobile phone number was the hardest, as his parents were calling him, BEGGING HIM to come home in case the shooter came for him next.

He could never go back home, and for the first while, that hurt him. He loved his ma and pa with all his heart, but he could never face them. Not after what he did to his brother.

Before this, the harshest thing he did was toss a rock at Stanley, blinding him in his right eye and throw a few insults his way, and his parents forgave him for those after giving him a stern talking to on each occasion, the rock incident taking longer to forgive him for, but aside from that he was more dismissive to Stanley than anything. 

Stanley had NEVER been mean to Cain, Cain just took what Stanley said to him as him purposefully being mean just because of how he spoke. 

Cain regretted what he did to Stanley for years. Then the Alternate outbreak happened. It started the day he moved into Mandela County.

He’d been feeling like shit ever since he shot Stanley, but eventually got a little better with it. Then he saw a face on the TV.

He was confused. He swore he turned it off. When he walked closer, he saw that it was off. But the face was still there.

The face told him things, horrible, horrible things. Cain had already been in a terrible place mentally, but the face made it worse.

Eventually, it got to be too much, and Cain took care of it the typical way victims of Alternate Encounters handle things, dying on December 14th, 1986. 

He became an Alternate soon after, his “worst” qualities getting boosted. He was now a complete showman, unable to deal with anything seriously, taking his tasks on as some demented episode of a sick and twisted game show. He got his new name “Limbo” from when he was surfing through channels and found a rerun of the short called “Limbo the organized mind”.

He saw how people were freaked out by it and took the name, as it sounded better than Cain ever could sound.

He didn’t really want to be antagonistic at first, but with some constant nudging from “Gabriel”, and with some manipulation from him, he started to become more and more antagonistic.

Now he’s more like the Intruder from Intruder Alert that we all know and love!

If I had to pick a song that works as his theme song, it would be “The Main Character” by Will Wood or “My Ordinary Life” By the Living Tombstone.

Stanley though, Stanley’s different. He’s kept his monotone way of speaking, but he’s gained a less blunt way of speaking due to his time of reflection in the in-between before he came back as a Guardian Alternate.

When Stanley woke up as a Guardian Alternate, he was highly confused, as one would be when thrown into the world and your head has been replaced with a TV and you’re now 7’8” when you were previously, like, 6’ 2”.

His attention was immediately grabbed by the sound of a child, about 6 or 7, crying. His dad instincts kicked in almost immediately.

And thus, he became the Guardian Alternate of the kid, acting as his protector.

Whenever the kid came home from school, Stanley always made sure that he was okay, as he felt like he was his son.

He remembered how his father raised him, don’t show feelings, don’t show weakness, ect.

And threw it out the window, as he feels it deprived him of so much as a child.

Instead, he makes sure to listen to his person’s interests, encouraging him in his interests, stuff like that!

His person actually helps Stanley come out of his shell a bit! Like, Stanley sorta gains a bit of emotion in his voice! And slowly starts to gain enough confidence to slowly leave the kid’s room!

At some point, Stanley gains the confidence to meet the kid’s mom, telling her what the kid’s dad has been like towards her kid.

If I had to pick a theme song for Stanley, I’d say that it’d be “You Will Be Okay” from Helluva Boss, as that just encompasses him as a character.

Stanley is the better person of the two, acting as more of the protective of humans than Limbo does.

…or at least, that’s how it seems during the start of the story.

Then Limbo reunites with Adam(Judas(vol 4 intruder) dropped Adam on Limbo after kidnapping him because he didn’t feel like taking care of Adam, he legit said “this little cringe ass nae-nae baby piece of shit is your problem now bye bitch.”)in volume 2, and he sorta starts to bond with Adam.(Sure, he tries breaking his mental state, but hey, kibbo, your papa’s here now! :D) Then Adam starts to show signs of being sad about Jonah leaving. Limbo feels some form of pain in his heart at seeing this and shrugs it off as “Oh, it’s nothing!”, not knowing it was a sign that he was slowly turning into a Guardian Alternate.

The thing is, “Gabriel” never told Limbo anything about Guardian Alternates aside from “They are our worst enemies. We are to attack them on sight.”. He was never told why, he was never told anything about them, just that they were the enemy and that they were a danger to their goals.

When Limbo realizes what’s going on, he doesn’t report to “Gabriel” at his usual time. Heck, it’s a surprise he reports to him at all, and when he does, he’s a nervous wreck.

“Gabriel” shrugs this off as “Maybe he’s not as strong as I thought he was.”.

When “Gabriel” goes in-detail about what Alternates do to Guardian Alternates, Limbo panics and runs away, saying he “Remembered I have a kiddo to go kidnap, Judas is taking the day off, I’m gonna go do that!”

“Gabriel” is happy to hear this, as he thinks Limbo is finally bouncing back. He isn’t. He’s just trying to get as far away from Gabriel as he can.

Also, like, Alternates don’t really age, so they stay at the age they died at(Stanley died in like, his early to late thirties, same with Limbo-), but they still celebrate their birthdays if they can remember them/if they were human but then became Alternates.

This is what I’ve figured out for these two goobers, but I’m always thinking of new stuff for ‘em! :D
