Amanda Waller

Amanda Waller is in charge of using criminals to do jobs that the government can’t be seen taking care of. She calls this team the Suicide Squad. In Marvel Comics, there is a similar initiative called the Thunderbolts. Waller would thrive here.

The Thunderbolts didn’t need to do things in private. Of course, if Waller has already proven that she can do things quietly if she had to, but she wouldn’t have to here. She would also do a much better job than Norman Osborn did. Can you imagine if she got the kill-shot that took down the Skrull Queen? She wouldn’t have been so crazy to let power slip the away Norman did. She’s too smart.

It also wouldn’t be shocking if she ended up becoming president of the United States. She’s one of the few comic book characters ruthless enough to make it happen.

Lois Lane

There wouldn’t be a secret in the Marvel Universe that Lois Lane wouldn’t be able to uncover. The true identities of Spider-Man and Daredevil wouldn’t be a mystery to her, nor would all of the Kingpin’s dirty deeds. However, she wouldn’t report them unless they were dangerous.

Another good thing Lois would undoubtedly take part in is standing up for mutant rights. While most publications would be writing about how dangerous the X-Men are, she’d be writing stories that tell the truth, showcasing the X-Men for the heroes that they really are.

Lois couldn’t work for Jonah because his stance on heroes is too biased. More than likely, she’d end up creating her own publication. One that had integrity. Ben Urich and Peter Parker would probably be among her first employees.
