Hmm... I'm pondering doing a Spec Op write-up. Possible themes include: Acolytes, Captain Universe, and Octessence.

Acolytes:
 * pros: lots of character options that we can use or not as we choose, lots of them. Some of which would make for very interesting character designs.... then you have Exodus who is pretty much a god-tier character and most suited for an epic boss fight.
 * cons: Not really an avengers story more of an X-Men story depending on how it's written. what would the source of the conflict would be? I'm sure something could be made of it....

wait, one just popped into my head. :D Summary: Bastion uses nanites to turn normals into Sentinel sleeper agents(IE Prime Sentinels). Exodus finds out and starts doing something about it. I'm thinking turning normals into test subjects. why? because Prime Sentinel tech doesn't work on mutants. For fun the random test subjects could use sprites that are all reshades of the Generic Acolyte outfit. :p But that's just the starting point. Not sure how to make a full Spec Op based on that. But it seems like the sort of scenario that would by comic book logic quickly devolve into massive street fights between an army of mutants and an army of sentinels.

Universe:
 * pros: fits with the Incursions, lots of neat options withs alts.(I already made a list of a few)
 * cons: cosmic story, so it needs a cosmic threat

Octessense:
 * pros: if it's a Wager story it's easy to write. Several interesting characters that could be made playable.
 * cons: almost stuck with the Wager angle. Also it'd be a pretty much stand alone story.
