I’m blending inspirations from a bunch of different eras and comics for the Trinity.

If I was going to play this, I’d start in WWII and let the group age through the Silver Age, having adventures in the founding moments of Marvel’s greatest heroes and villains into the Modern Era of the Marvel Universe where I’d probably rock out with an event.

Fun What If? Things to Think About:

• Are there Amazons in the Marvel Universe and if so, how do they react to Diana?
• Are Bruce’s parents alive here?
• Does Arkham Asylum exist here?
• Does Krypton exist and was it saved from destruction from the Nova Corps?
