One cool concept of the early CWverse/MCU is how they were forced to turn B to D listers into their A listers. Both universes still had one or two A-listers at the start, Hulk with Marvel and Flash with DC, but not characters like Batman, Spidey, or the X-Men. Execution aside, stuff such as making Green Arrow the world's most public hero or making the Guardians of the Galaxy a driving force in the universe is really cool. I know DC sort of did this with the 52 series, having the Trinity disappear.

Ironically, now the Avengers are Marvel's S-List superheroes (supers that even your grandma knows).


If you were to "reboot" the universes and, not necessarily erase, but push the S-Listers and A-Listers into the background, who would be on your Avengers or Justice League?
