Ultimate Geek Fu

 
It's Mash-Up Time!

---

As you have no doubt heard by now, the most incredible news in the geekiverse this week is that Disney has entered into an agreement to purchase Marvel, in exchange for some shuffling back and forth of stock shares and an amount of cash greater than the combined annual GDP of most of your smaller countries. The possibilities are, well—

Will Darkwing Duck finally get that brooding, dangerous, Frank Miller-type treatment he so richly deserves? Will The Punisher guest-star in Bambi II: The Buck Stops Here. ("You killed my mother! You cooked and ate her! It's payback time, Castle!") Will Thor preside over the festivities in the "Ride of the Valkyries" sequence in Fantasia 2010? And just what is the relationship between Prince Namor and Ariel, the Little Mermaid?

Am I the only one here who remembers Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham, and his recurring nemesis, Ducktor Doom? (If ever there was a Marvel character just begging to be turned into a Disney animated feature...)

How about it? What are the new DisneyMarvel products that you would love to see?

Let the arguments begin.
