Loki cackled as he diverted the radio signal the Teen Brigade sent off to The Fantastic Four, making it project out of the radio in Dr Donald Blake’s office. In your world this sets of a chain of events that forms the Avengers and defeats the God of Mischief. However, in this universe, things go a little differently.

The radio signal does indeed find Thor as Loki intended, but it also reaches Ant-Man and Iron Man. This time the Fantastic Four aren’t busy and respond as the message was intended for them, along with the newly formed X-Men when Professor X hears the broadcast. The combined might of Iron Man, the Fantastic Four and The X-Men easily subdue the green skinned behemoth whilst Thor, Ant-Man and Wasp capture Loki and return him to Earth.

Loki clears the Hulk and turns himself radioactive. Ice Man coats him ice as Invisible Girl throws a forcefield around him and a very angry Hulk kicks the Loki ball into space. Wasp notes that they all worked well together as a group and perhaps combining forces instead of several small teams could work.

And so the Super Hero Squad was formed. Magneto and his Brotherhood are captured quickly, The Space Phantom was returned to Limbo and the Skrulls are turned into cows in an ingenious plan hatched by Professor X and Reed Richards. All the foes that would’ve harassed them as individual teams are beaten by sheer numbers and diversity of powers.

Though things are not always smooth sailing. Captain America is never found, Scarlet Witch and her brother Quicksilver remain firmly on Magneto’s side also gaining Namor as an ally, Susan Storm takes a liking to Tony Stark whilst the big brains of Richards, Xavier, McCoy and Pym clash over theories and philosophies; and Loki returns with a vengeance.

@batkevin74: I'm just kind of meh on this overall, but why does Loki turn himself radioactive? What's that leading towards?

@cbishop: It's what he did in the original. He went nuclear!

Instead of this time being trapped in a lead lined vault where Ant-Man pulled a switch, he's coated in a ball and kicked into space.

@batkevin74: I had a feeling it must connect to the original story, but I've never read it, so I wasn't sure. Thanks.

@cbishop: The original is really quite rubbish! :)
