I went looking for the one where Kazar The Savage became Kazar The Accountant, but I couldn't find a link. I am sad now.

Travis Morgan looked out across this new hidden world. He would explore it all. For he was Warlord... Chartered Surveyor!

He'd rock the khakis, white shirt, suspenders & pocket protector for sure! He could still wear his original costume lounging by the pool at all those Vegas conventions.

I'm not a big What If?/Elseworlds guy, I loved Kingdom Come. My first Elseworlds was Superman: Red Son, which was compelling drama, but... I dunno, didn't really feel like it had a theme or antyhing. But I could be wrong, I last read it over 4 years ago. But hey, Batman looked adorable in that hat  I think there was one Marvel put out that showed what would've happened if Wolverine had been around to raise Daken. I'm not sure when it came out, and if this was intentional or not, but a really sad scene in Uncanny X-Force had Daken ask Wolverine if he'd ever thought about what Daken would've turned out like if Wolverine had raised him. And then Logan ends up killing Daken at the end of the series, picturing their happy life together if he had been there. I haven't read the What If?, but I desperately need to.
There's a fine line between not listening and not caring. I like to think that I walk that line every day of my life.

Comics have taught me that superheroes are terrible parents. All these kids popping up 20 years later. Daken, Infinity Inc etc. He'd rock the khakis, white shirt, suspenders & pocket protector for sure! Future's new micros thread shows Lyle Norg in shorts, making him my new favourite Science Explorer. Other occupations when you're not starring in your own comic... ![[Linked Image]](http://mindlessones.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/bug031.jpg)

Do we count the Legends of the Dead Earth annuals as Elseworlds?

My favorite Elseworlds (if this counts as such) is the Superman-Maxima story from Armageddon 2001.
Batman/Superman Generations would probably be my # 2. Great job by Byrne capturing the look and feel of different decades of comic book history, and then coming full circle at the end.

"Gotham by Gaslight" (I think it was the first to actually go by the "Elseworlds" imprint?)
"Superboy's Legion"
"The Dark Knight Returns"
"Kingdom Come"
"What If...?" Always just seemed like an excuse to kill characters they normally wouldn't have. I don't remember ever reading one of those that was particularly great.

Yeah, GBG was the first "official" Elseworlds.
And yeah, it felt like the What If comics were just an excuse to write as many depressing comics as they could.

There was the one where The Thing was cured of his mutation and married Alicia. The second Giant-Man got to take his place in the FF instead of being de-powered like in the "main" take. So that was a happy ending for pretty much everyone.

Most of mine are already covered, but here's my list:
- The original Superman Red/Superman Blue
- Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?
- Superboy's Legion
- Dark Knight Returns (specifically as a What If? type story)
- Batman: Holy Terror
