Anyone interested in doing something related to time-travelling characters from different historical analogs (so, for instance, there could be a Musketeer alongside a Caveman alongside Flash Gordon, etc.) teaming up together because a would-be hero has disrupted the timeline by going into the past to correct a perceived wrong?
I say Exiles-ish, because I imagine the story borrowing from Marvel, but I'm not nearly familiar enough with the Exiles to actually use them.

I'm always interested in any Exiles game out there. I guess it depends on what's available and the stone count. Call me finiky lol.

Depending on what all was allowed I would be interested.

"Are you sure you want him here, Sue?"
Reed Richards nervously paced in front of the TV monitors he and Johnny had spent the last half hour setting up.
Sue nodded:
"If what you're saying is right, we'll need him."
Reed replied:
"It's just..."
Reed let out an audible sigh as Sue placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
Reed looked around the room. He wasn't here, yet. It wasn't like him to turn down this kind of invitation.
"Time machine's all dialed up and ready to go."
Johnny emerged from under the body of a small, modified Quinjet.
"I thought we agreed not to call it that."
"Hey, it's not like you've come up with a better name yet. And that's what it does."
I don't like this. How much time did we spend hunting down all those parts? We wouldn't even need that thing if it weren't for him.
Then the first of their guests had arrived. Reed cleared his throat and grabbed a clicker, pressing it and waiting for the monitors to flicker on, displaying some data, and a timer ticking down.
"Welcome friends, to the Baxter Building...or should I say, to the inauguration of the Future Foundation. You've been invited here as Earth's best...and brightest! To fight a threat we hope never to face: The Future! Now, I've got something exciting to share with you. This modified Quinjet has been equipped with a chrono-shifting temporal displacer."
"Time machine."
"Time machine...that will let us go forward in time to observe a threat which I fear we are only now beginning to see. But I must caution you. Space-time is fragile. Though the threat we face is grave, one wrong step can irreparably alter our existence."
A bright light flashed, followed by a high-pitched whine along with a puff of gas filling the room, designed to assault all the senses. A man encased in metal strode forward, the echo ringing throughout the room.
"But then a hero arrived to set the world right...thanks to the hard work of the Future Foundation, who did all the work for him."
Reed struggled to cough:
"Victor! Wait! No!"
"Time will thank you Richards. Your plan would never have worked. Only Doctor Doom can fix this. This is for the best."
Reed stretched out to grab Doom, but found his body turning to mush.
"Designed especially for you, to bind to your skin and prevent you from stretching. For a time. Which is all that I need."
Doom stepped into the Quinjet and powered it on.
"And so with the passage to Time open before him, the hero returned to the moment where all went wrong. Farewell Richards."

Your characters are invitees to Reed Richards' Future Foundation, selected because of their unique skills which would serve them in stopping an unspecified threat. Instead of that threat, though, they're now tasked with repairing whatever Doctor Doom has done to Time.
What I'd like is to have alternate versions of Marvel characters banding together across different historical archetypes, flashing from one timeline to the next. So for instance, we could set one issue in the realm of Dinosaurs, one in Tsarist Russia, one in the Wild West, etc. Your characters would also come from different timelines, so for example, you could have a Crusader Frank Castle, a 1920's style-Irish mob type Daredevil, a Viking Hulk, etc.
I don't have a hard stone-count in mind, because I'd prefer to see what kinds of pitches I get and shape things around the average. People who know me know I'm rules-lite. Also bear in mind my dearth of knowledge when it comes to Marvel. I'm more likely to approve mainstream over obscure - if I have to look someone up, that's probably not a good sign.
About the only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is that, generally, reality warpers and time-travellers should be off-limits. Post what your ideas are here so other people know what you're working on, and we can discuss what works and what doesn't.

Do we have a stone count. I have a robot character I made ages ago that might be able to tweaked enough to fit this.
*Edit* Sorry I forgot how to read! |

I've got an old Paladin Steve Rogers hanging about somewhere (And if not I can CERTAINLY rebuild him)
