There are some dedicated musical villains we could go to as well lol. There's also Baron Mordo who is Dr. Strange's archnemesis.
I was going to suggest Madelyn Prior for Graendal, that's Goblin Queen, of X-Men, a Jean Gray clone, or else Circe from DC.
Moiraine has got to be Madame Web.
Ah, but Gardner falls HARD turn during the Lantern Wars, goes Red. Maybe you're right with, especially where Eddy Brock is concerned. If it were Agent Venom, Flash Thompson, they idolize Spidey, but are undone by their bond with the symbiote.
I think Luthor as Aginor is good. Maybe Ra's al...
I think Tony Stark would be someone smarmier? One of the lords I should think.
Yeah, I love these choices, great picks Phen.
IDK, I feel like Venom should be one of the male channelers since Eddy tends to be a little unhinged and quite literally has another voice in his head.
If Rand is...
Cap isn't really the Chosen One though? My vote is Spidey, maybe Cable.
Especially with Mat as Deadpool.
Magneto is making too much sense these days to be Ishamael. I think that's gotta be the other X-Men big bad, with plenty of schemes:
Mister Sinister
It's a great element of speculation for where and how things would have evolved ^_^
The main cast are still such babs by AMoL, it would be interesting to see them as adults in their prime.
