I chose Fandango as today's post because the fractal is a fanciful image and this post is a mere flight of fancy. The image is purely "fun"--as I hope this post will be. (Frankly, I could use a little lighthearted amusement in my life these days.) SO--let's dive in, shall we? -
The entertainment world was abuzz today (August 31) with the announcement that the Walt Disney Company will be acquiring Marvel Comics. Execs at Disney feel this is a good move because Marvel characters appeal primarily to boys while the Disney characters are skewed largely toward young girls. (Yes parents, Disney will soon own the collective psyches of ALL your children!) Shares of Marvel Comics jumped $10 on the news (and you can be sure Disney would never have made the deal if they didn't feel it would enhance their bottom line). Still, if f you the business details go look them up for yourself: this post is about something more frivolous. Read on and you'll find otu what...

Marvel and Disney are both NOTORIOUs for cross-promotion: that got me thinking--now that Marvel and Disney are under the same roof it's only a matter of time before Marvel and Disney characaters start being featured together. Being a fan of both Disney AND Marvel Comics I came up with a few ideas...
-
Marvel's version of Hercules and the other Olympian Gods is replaced by the animated Disney version. Herc juins the Avengers and Phil the Satyr comes along as team trainer.
-
Ariel the Little Mermaid, is revealed to be the long-lost cousin of Prince Namor--the Sub-Mariner. Subby has to lose is fish-scale speedo and a lot of his angst while Ariel becomes more edgey.
-
Mulan becomes th new incarnation of Mantis and becomes one of the core members of the World Avengers.
-
Doctor Strange adds Ursula the Sea Witch, Malefecent and the Wicked Queen to his rogues gallery. Clea becomes an apprentice to the Blue Fairy...
-
Kitty Pryde becomes Disney's first Jewish-American Disney Princess.
-
The Beast batles Hulk for the heart of Belle in the 12-part maxi-series It's Not Easy Being Green. Kermit D Frog guest stars.
-
Scrooge McDuck becomes Chairman of the Board of Stark Enterprises--and has his own battle suit made. He becomes Iron Duck!
-
Wanda Maximoff (the Scarlet Witch) becomes tutor to the kids of the Wizards of Waverly Place in the new comic Witch and the Wizards.
-
Sue Storm takes yet another leave of absense from the Fantastic Four and is replaced by Minnie Mouse.

Marvel/Disney releases their new flagship title, The New Inhumans--Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Lockjaw and Tinkerbell.
-
Hannah Montana fronts a band called The New Mutants--super-powered rock-and-rollers who fight crime while making radio-friendly pop-rock ballads. (Of course, Hannah will be re-cast since Miley Cyrus is too old and too famous to play the part any longer.)
-
Captain America (Steve Rogers) becomes on of the instructors at Camp Rock...
-
So Marvel/Disney (Msney? Divel?), there are a few suggestions for your characters. Use any or all--but remember where you got them from. I'm available to write or produce the product. Call me!
