The only question that remains is: Ultimates squirrel girl?
Probably exactly the same as standard canon.

Don't forget that Squirrel Girl also went toe to toe with Galactus and walked away from it with victory. Her power is very simplistic, but INSANELY powerful because of what it does. She is just REALLY fucking lucky, and it sees her through every fight she gets into. Knowing how her power works, its quite likely that some completely BS thing would drastically limit The Bat's combat abilities, like tools breaking, or fogetting his belt, or what have you.
I would find this completely canon if it ever happened. =B I mean.... Thanos! By herself!! I had to double-take so many times!!
Heck, I bet if she were in Marvel Zombies, she'd easily reduce them all to ash! Don't hold me to that, though... I never read through every page and tried to point out every hero/villain in there.

Check out where Thor gave him a pounding in the new series (Thor #3). He was extremely ticked at everything Stark was up to, especially the clone and thinking he could come in and threaten Thor into being a 'good little superbeing' and serve the US Government as one of their slaves. Thor felt it was high time to point out the difference between a God and a guy in a metal suit and wiped him with one EMP and told him he was busy with more important things or he'd have continued the fight but would be back to further 'discuss' the issues regarding the clone and passing it off as him.
A lot of them have actions to haunt them, after all Richards and the rest of the Illuminati felt it quite fine to usurp the court systems and exile the Hulk into space and didn't even bother to check to make sure he got where they intended to imprison him. Considering Richards and Pym helped make the clone (after all the most Stark likely contributed was the artificial brain and the DNA sample, the cloning would have to have been done by Richards and/or Pym) they'd be prime targets for Thor's rage as well. The High Evolutionary made a Thor Clone but at least he didn't try to pass it off as Thor to everyone.
I've just about stopped reading Marvel and DC after everything both companies have done (Marvel especially with the abyssmal retcon on Spider-Man) and going with independents like Extinctioners and GoldDigger. Even with how long some of the independents have been going they've managed to not go around trashing their continuity or giving the fans the finger.

I know exactly what you mean. I've not been able to get a hold of comics in a long while and used to have to keep in the know through friends. I got to see Wolverine get his adamantium ripped out by Magneto (though Magneto was understandably pissed off.) But they were supposed to be heroes and they're no different than the villains they fought. Mr "Fantastic" is a McCarthyist who's ego rivals that of Victor Von Doom's. I can't even watch that movie now without getting a certain degree of pleasure watching Dr. Doom freeze Reed like a rubber ball in liquid nitrogen. Iron Man simply has a god complex. I can't really speak for the other, however.
I have Batman Begins. It's even better cause they're at least trying to say that Batman isn't insane and he's a man with a plan.

It's an unfortunate byproduct of the general degradation of comics that has taken over Marvel since the 90s. X-men bought it first from overly convoluted plots and threads that ended up going nowhere and retcons that made no sense whatsoever (Hepzibah's now some white elf with perfect english instead of the anthro skunk with unique speech patterns she once was just because someone liked the other look more), but it spread as they felt everyone had to be shown with a dark side and morally questionable. Oh, and Professor X had been keeping the Danger Room a slave as it had achieved sentience and he didn't want to let it exist so used controls to enslave it (no wonder it kept trying to kill them at every opportunity) and knew all about all sorts of mutants including the Morlocks but wanted only clean-cut mutants on his team to present a good public image (talk about a terrible retcon).
Stark at least has been shown having problems in the past with his alcoholism and manic/depressive states (like his Armor Wars where he ended up Killing someone and never held accountable, and even committed treason), and Mr. Fantastic's had his questionable parts as well (didn't tell the Thing that he could control his transformations and left him on BattleWorld after the Secret Wars where he kills off his human side, which if Reed had been honest with the Thing he'd have come home and it never would have happened). They did get over the top though with Civil War, especially with Cap's inexplicable surrender. Ironically enough they've been doing better stories of heroic redemption with Baron Zemo and he was a murderous nazi like his father but has turned to being a hero.

Yeah, I heard about that. The danger room becomes a humanoid entity they just call Danger. It actually does make sense when put into that light. Yeah, the Professor's looking like Magneto with good PR. He also keeps files on how to kill every mutant. I find that iffy just by mention. Especially since it contains method on how not just to kill "enemy" mutants but X-Men as well. Like you can kill Wolverine (Xavier's loyal soldier) by cutting off his head and placing it over thirty feet away from his body. I mean, you don't get more loyal than Wolverine.
I knew about Stark's alcoholism and always saw it as simply a character flaw. Sipowitz in NYPD Blue was an alcoholic and a thug, but at least he managed to make a remarkable turnaround in character as opposed to Tony Stark who sinks himself so deep into his creation that he ceases to be human really. He practically lives in that suit now.
Mr. Fantastic also set the clone of Thor loose that killed Goliath. Which pretty much shows what they're interested in. Rather like using the Thunderbolts to put real heroes into the hospital or the morgue.
And it wouldn't have been so bad if they were villains turning heroic. But it's not that at all. It's heroes turning villainous. And it seems to have reached a point where there are no heroes in Marvel anymore. Just villains.
They did indeed get over the top with Civil War. But I think Captain gave himself up in a crisis of conscience. He felt that he was becoming just like Stark.
But with what they're doing, I feel like Michael Corleone.
"I know what you did, Fredo."

Wolverine's mind had a measure of self-repair though and wiping his mind won't really stop him anyway as he'll just end up bestial. Plus now that they've given him his entire backstory and restored his mind completely after House of M (to revive his character after having him as a 2D Regeneration Man character for years) he's likely even more resistant to mind wiping than he was in the past.
You know, you're absolutely right. His mind also heals like his body and has allready been wiped by his mutation a couple of times. And those indeed just left him bestial. And if he were to remember what Xavier did to him, imagine what Magneto did...with blades.
They've had a degree of backstory for Wolverine for quite some time. They had to for his own series. It's still somewhat mysterious, but the gave him a more solid history and a more solid character.

Well they hadn't really given you all the basic facts, like where he was born or how old he really is until they did House of M, everything else was kept confused and contradictory so you didn't know what was a real fact and what was a memory plant or a result of his healing power doing the impossible by erasing unpleasent memories. After the House of M saga though he got all his memories back sans any tampering.
Well they defended the Xavier Protocols similar to how they defended Batman's even more extensive files (at least Xavier only targeted mutants, Batman targeted EVERYONE), i.e. he had protocols covering even allies in case they were to go evil or be controlled by others and lethal force the only way to stop them (as happened when the Hand last year caught and made Wolverine one of their assassins for a while due to brain-washing). BUT it's still dangerously tacky keeping such in a format anyone else could get, as happened in both settings.
Oh Stark went beyond living in the suit, he was so jealous of those with inborn powers (although he gave a different excuse) he infected himself with a techno-organic virus known as Extremis to give him various powers, including the ability to remote control and hack technology and enhanced healing. So Stark's treated his own body like a machine to upgrade at his whim (typical control freak).
Well the Thunderbolts was a great concept, I'd been so tired of villains just staying villains and the chance to see so many trying for redemption I loved (and I HATED when they wiped out Sandman and Electro giving up on evil and trying to be good and brought them back even more evil, with Electro having literally no reason at all to fall back into evil). Now it's been usurped by the Civil War and just a title to give super-villains the power to legally hunt heroes. Such an awful fall for that great title and Marvel in general.
I just hope they end the Civil War crap even if it takes an even crappier idea like the Secret Invasion to end the SRA and return heroes to being heroes.

In the case of Batman, he's a mere mortal with technology and harsh training. So he needs to be prepared in any contingency. But the trouble with keeping any file system like that (especially if it's hard copy) is that it can be stolen. Much like a file system on the real identities and abilities of all the US super heroes. What if that were leaked via CIA? See?
Yep, that sounds like Stark allright.
Yeah. I am rather fond of the idea of a villain redeeming himself or herself and trying to do the good deed. I'm a Star Wars fan after all. Although, was Sandman ever really evil? I mean, he did some bad things, but I've seen some stories where a little bit of his insides were revealed and you find out that he's not as bad as you might think.
I just want my heroes back. But characters like Tony Stark and Reed Richards are proving too inflexible in their decision to support the SRA. The only way to stop them may be to kill them. And then you'd probably have the fifty state initiative all over whoever's responsible and then they'll have to fall too.
Logically, you're looking at the termination of half of the Marvel line.

Sandman was evil, although not the 'let's see how much blood that they have' type like Carnage by any means. When he did finally get tired of it and even became an Avenger they quickly trashed that and later had the Wizard mind-warp him with his Id machine to 'restore him to his true nature', or at least the nature the Wizard felt was right (Being a sociopath himself).
Well unfortunately we probably won't see our heroes back for some time, not with Reed so certain his mathematics that he feels make Harry Seldon's fictional psycho-history formulas real and that he can't ever be wrong even when he's proven so. Even with a Dr. Doom from the future coming back to show him how bad the Civil War was and the result of Reed's secret plans that he's hidden from everyone for years hasn't woke him up. So blinded by their feelings for Reed none of the FF are actually hearing what Doom has to say or realizing that if the future Doom wanted them stopped he could have just killed them but instead chose to reason with them.
I think that they're going to try and use the Secret Invasion as a form of retcon where by the time it's all over the SRA is gone and heroes can be heroes again, about like how they used Onslaught and Heroes Reborn to wipe out Stark's going mad and killing several people, including the female Yellowjacket and Luna's helpless nanny. Amazing how many forget that.

I'm not too familiar with the comic book Sandman and only really know him from the Spider-Man 3 movie (I know it's not the best source) but I rather liked the portrayel. I honestly never liked Doctor Octopus until Spider-Man 2.
I figured about as much. Especially when you have Tony Stark saying that he didn't want Captain America to die and then turns around and promises we haven't seen anything yet. And Reed is convinced he's right. Rather like Doom was convinced he was right even after proof was presented. For all intents a purposes, Reed is the "legitimate" equivalent of Dr. Doom. And the only way I can see that they'll change is if they lose their entire worlds due to this act or are simply killed off.
They're going to pull a "deus ex machina" with the Secret Invasion are they? Makes sense since this is easily the biggest hole anybody could write themselves into. I think people just want to remember Stark as a hero and they blank out the stuff that essentially negates that. It actually gives mind to Knightquest for some reason.

Sandman from the movies was intentionaly reworked to be more likeable and the tragic victim of his own bad choices instead of a hardened career criminal like in the comics. Then again the movie had the inexplicable deal with the butler going 'hey your daddy was responsible for his own death' near the end of the third movie to Harry Osborn and never told him the truth until after he nearly got his face blown off when saying so earlier would have prevented a lot of misery. Sandman also ends up a villain who gets to leave with Spider-man's secret ID instead of dying like everyone else, while Harry who became more heroic ended up dead.
Oh you're quite right, Reed Richards is the 'villain with good press' version of Dr. Doom by this point, and Doom even confronts him about that in a recent issue of FF (a future version of Doom from a time when Reed implimented his 'plan #101' to fix EVERYTHING in his opinion that was wrong). Of course no one wants to accept it but Reed starts to doubt as Doom hammers him on the point. I think only such a stark confrontation from someone like that could shock Reed out of his madness and see what a villain he truly is. Heroes fight against the odds to make things right for everyone, they don't build secret prisons knowing they're to prevent people having legal rights to find freedom and go with the easier, human-rights violating choices.
I don't know for certain of they're going to do that with Secret Invasion but after revealing Black Bolt and Electra were Skrull replacements it seems likely that they'll use that to explain it all away (and for those 'heroes' who did wrong on their own free will like Reed and Stark just lie that they were replaced too when it all comes out so they can blame the Skrulls and clean up their reputations without a lot of hard work earning it back). It's also a bit amusing how many evil Tony Starks the Exiles have encountered (I don't think they've ever met a heroic version, and Weapon X met one who'd conquered the world with a variety of evil schemes in the background so no one would see him as anything but a savior, until Weapon X came along and changed things just enough to result in his assassination and the truth coming out).

I think Sam Raimi in subsequent Spider-Man films (namely two and three) had the nasty habit of making his villains better than the heroes. Now, they say the devil plays the best tunes, but the scenes with the villains were simply more interesting than the moments with Spider-Man. Kinda makes me think of what they did with XMen 3. They killed of three fan favorites and swept one under the carpet to give Halle Berry more to do (Not her fault, the director was an ass.)
One can only hope that this shakes him out of his complacency. At least this starts him doubting. Eventually, when he's contemplated this enough, he may actually confront Stark about this and bring the madness to halt. Yes, I'm a tad overoptimistic, but I can hope.
No, it actually makes sense. I hope they don't resort to a cheap ass stunt like that, but it does make perfect sense.

Hmmm, true, they did seem to be the main characters instead of Spider-man with how they were handled in the movies. Only Venom got to remain irredeemably evil (well and Norman Osborn), the rest got to be tragic figures turned evil by circumstances instead of by choice.
I just hope Quesada wakes up and sees how much he screwed up and undoes that awful awful insult to Spider-man and realizes what his true purpose is (which isn't being an emotionally crippled loner who's tied permanently to his aunt and unable to be his own man).
You should join the forums at classicmarvel.com as you seem to be a great marvel fan and we could use the input of a good and devoted reader. One doesn't have to play the RPG to comment on the characters or events in the forums.

Use regular wiki, plenty of marvel information there (where I get my information on the X-men since I stopped reading them at least 5 years ago). Plenty of casual marvel fans in the forums and might even find you like the game if you check out the scanned pdfs of the rule books. There are a few connection problems at times but it's not very bad and mostly depends on your connection and how many are logged on at the time.
I'd hit that...
But on a more serious, yet comical note, this reminds me of the movie "Half Baked". If you remember, when Kenny went to jail and "Nasty Nate" kept trying to rape him, but every time he would be saved by "Squirrel Master".
"I thought I told ya Nasty Nate..."
Classic.

Heh, yeah, as others have said, your version of Squirrel Girl looks a lot better than Marvel's handling, though her cameo on the Fantastic 4 cartoon wasn't bad looking.
Hmmm...Squirrel Girl would be a fun character to play if they ever do another Marvel vs. <X> fighting game. Imagine the humiliation of taking over 40 hits from a barrage of squirrels for failing to block her Squirrel Tsunami super move.

I still refuse to believe that she beat up the ORIGIONAL Dr. Viktor Von Doom.
More so, that Doom didn't like, swear a bloody revenge and have her walled up alive in his castle.
Seriously, Word goes around about Doom getting bested by Squirrel girl and the entire Marvel U. just won't take him seriously anymore....
Also: She took down Galactus. That's sad. Very.
