That last one 'twilight zone' twist of thinking maybe Franklin was the reason it all happened is really messed up
As I was listening to it at first, that came to mind.
According to the wiki it's cause some demon from the negative zone Possessed her, but you know how wikis are, aren't always reliable.
Fucking AWESOME.
My jaw dropped when that implication was was given
Actually, the happier scenario was taken from the second "What If" story where everything was "normal" except, Mary, as the baby was named, developed healing powers. It was a part of a double issue. And there was a terrifying ending to the story. Let's just say, you do not want to make Captain America lose it
Back in black is nothing compared to spider's shadow. That one is one where spiderman never took off the venom suit, and he turned into an even more darker scarier version of the back in black spiderman. To the point where even his suit changed into a more menacing look.
Agreed. His villains remain as clueless as ever, not quite realizing that the only reason they didn't all die years ago was because Spidey chose to allow it.
I enjoyed that
Is he gay though?
@@howardsimcox5596 nahhh brodiee only in 2020s did they make every hero like that 😂😂
@@howardsimcox5596 dont wake up the rule34 artist
People forget, like a lot, that Peter HOLD BACK his punches. He does not have to be MAD to kill. He just has to lose focus for a second. He is arguably one of the strongest heroes in the Marvel Universe when not holding back.
I love the bit where Doc Oc is in peter's body and goes "holy shit he could have taken my head clean off any time he wanted"
I'm reminded of a scene in the series 'Rise to Omniscience' by Aaron Oster, where the MC, Morgan, loses to another character, Hilda, in a martial arts fight. He runs away, and gets approached by a god, who makes him go through that same fight over and over. Eventually, he lands a hit, and blows a hole straight through Hilda with ease.
Because that's how powerful he was without holding back... Against the strongest human character other than him at that time.
After that, he goes back, and re-challenges Hilda, with different rules. You have to tap your opponent as many times as you can in... I think it was ten seconds? Anyway, Hilda has a shield that so far only broke once. Morgan breaks it with a single hit and taps Hilda 184 times, while Hilda couldn't land a single hit.
“One of the strongest heros in the marvel universe” he’s strong for sure but dude no
It's the exact same thing with The Flash, he's always holding back his speed so he doesn't turn people into red mist 24/7, he could rip holes in time and space any time he runs but only runs as fast as he needs to for the situation
how can we forget when people keep reminding us
Marvel Ruins will always be the one that takes it for me, it’s so dark and morbid I remember reading it and feeling a sense of dread the whole time
I haven't even read it but seeing the images and what happens to characters is so fucked up that you glad they are mostly ok in the main timeline.
I know, all the characters are dead in the story and if the main character of the story did live longer, he would have made his book that would have shown what the world could have been like if everything that went wrong goes right.
@@stg4theglitchog768 not every character is dead.
Apparently Spider-Man is alive but suffering, Scarlett Witch is Alive, Ben Grimm got out okay, Hulk is just tumors, and the X-Men are alive but suffering
Marvel Ruins should've been #1
Even the Zombies would get scared
I love the subtle character writing in the last one. Reed breaks entirely and begins physically abusing his son in the middle of the sentence. What is that sentence, if he could have finished it? "She's killing Uncle Ben". Peter's closest friends and allies are triggered by his trauma too.
I think by uncle Ben they were referencing Ben Grimm, aka The Thing
thumbnail is not featured in video, not cool
If we count Spider-Verse shorts and One shots are "What Ifs", than I want to suggest the story of Patton Parnel from Edge of Spider-Verse #4. Monsterous Spider-Creature version of a peter with serious school-shooter vibes, child abuse, body horror, murder. It's just creepy as hell.
Basically, what if Spider-Man was an incel
@@JosephWolfson What if Spidy were an Incel, combined with what if it turned you into a scary spider creature instead of giving you themed powers. It's a very good horror comic
@@JosephWolfson Do you have any personality besides punching down?
@@MVCx_xB I am literally describing the story. It is a terrifying and incredibly written story that still gives me shudders to this day.
The entire spiderverse films are what if lol
I'm surprised "What If Spider-Man Kept the Symbiote" didn't make the list, but the last one and many others were messed up.
is that the one where he goes to reed too late and the symbiote cannot be separated from peter?
What about the one where
What if
Charles Xavier found the jem of cyttorak instead of Cain Marko?
He'd be able to wheel through a brick wall? 🤡
@@p.d.l7023 That was before the confrontation with Farouk. I've read this one and Charles got "infected" with the relentless drive of Cytorrak's hosts. He ends up causing a lot of problems while setting up an attepted utopia for mutants... and ends up having to be ejected from Earth on a trajectory that won't let him bounce off anything for a long, long, LONG time. Worst of all? He's still indestructible... the poor fool.
Eventually he stopped thinking.
@@p.d.l7023 lmao
I'm not complaining, but Wolverine has been front and center this year in plot armor comic vids.
Glad to see several other comments mention What If Wolverine Was Lord of the Vampires? That had some seriously chilling moments. Still my favorite.
Assassin Spider-Man is GOATED and probably The STRONGEST Variant outside of those cosmically or mystically enhanced
Symbiote spider man🌝
@@strongman5243 The issue with symbiote spiderman is the glaring weakness to fire and more notably sonic attacks. What he gains from symbiote isn't worth the additional weaknesses, since many of the benefits can be replicated with tech regardless.
You know what would be terrifying? If a symbiote attached to Darwin. Think about it the symbiote would take on the adaptability trait making it immune to practically anything. This makes it even worse if said symbiote was on an evil person beforehand.
That would be the best possible armor one could have. If it was controlled by a villain, the Marvel verse would be SCREWED!
Man I want to see that.
That’s a good point
Sounds like alien... Could turn everyone like a zombie as well. A living plague.
People forget how fuckin POWERFUL Spider-Man is. He holds back even against some of his strongest enemies bc he could easily kill them. It's always so satisfying to see him take the gloves off sometimes.
That's weak writing.
I think my biggest was the one where the Avengers lost Galactic Storm. That one started with the destruction of Earth and only got worse from there. The one where the High Evolutionary managed to set off the Gene bomb was bigger in scale but much less of a mass tragedy, paradoxically enough.
In it, the accelerated evolution of the Earth's peoples instead took on a course all its own, the various superpowered beings developing further and closing down factors that prevented the further evolution of the bulk of humanity. In time, the Heroics (led by Wolverine) ended and/or absorbed all the major powers of that universe, including taking out Galactus. That last got mentioned as it's always been held true by the powers in the know that Galactus' end heralds the finale of the universe. This was proven true when the Powered Ones merged with/overtook Eternity Itself before doing the same to Death. The All-in-One promptly stepped outside the collapsing universe and became the genesis of another.
As all that had happened, the human race had transcended limits and individuality long before and merged with the planet, making the Living Earth which remained in the emptiness where the Universe had once been. All that remained... was the High Evolutionary, long since ignored, abandoned, and out-evolved. Oh, well. At least he has a nice view... and nothing else.
That was a great two parter
My favorite What If titles have always been “what if the avengers lost operation galactic storm” and “what if the punisher killed Spider-Man”
Oh and the Time Crisis series…
Love this list. Also have #1. Remember buying it...and reading it over and over.
Wolverine becomes Lord of the Vampires. He can't lose. He can only sacrifice himself.
Ngl I wanna see this be a Multi-Part series. Cause there's alot of scary What Ifs. There's one having Sabertooth be a slasher villain stalking Jubilee.
That Bruce Banner Starman What if would actually be a REALLY Compelling Original Character🤔
except uh its not original, marvel already wrote it lol
“I-run man” 😂
that was great!
I got a few old What ifs... for you, that would be good for this.
What if Professor X became the Juggernaut.
What if The Fantastic Four all had the same Power
And
What is the Marvel Super Heroes had lost the Atlantis Attacks. (One of my all time favorites. )
Theses kids would get nightmares from these stories. What they call scary, they could not handle real what if stories.
I love seeing supers with altered personalities, or just sides they never show.
Marvel Ruins, Spider-Man Darkhold, and Marvel Zombies were pretty creepy stories to me.
These are some great What If... stories that I've never read!!
this vid was super cool
One of my favorite What Ifs was what if Professor Xavier had found and put on the Juggernaut arm bands instead of his half brother. It turns out that the things change his attitude, make Professor X into a more hardened person, a person willing to become a dictator. It also means he never loses the use of his legs. Eventually, he become ruler of the world, with mutants as the upper class and normal humans as the lower class, sort of like how Magneto wanted to do so often in the past.
There is a war of course, and nukes are used. The blasts are limited in number, so only a percentage of the population is killed. The lingering radiation increases the numbers of mutants born to normal humans. Eventually machines are invented that clean up the fallout, but by then the number of mutant to normal births are definitely weighted in the mutants favor, meaning it is only a matter of time before there are no more normal humans left. Professor X the Juggernaut dictator isn't as oppressive or cruel as many others would might be, although he still pulls no punches in dealing with challenges to his rule, or in doing what he thinks needs to be done. The combination of unmatched mental powers and nearly unlimited physical strength and durability simply can't be beat. His rule is harsh, but fair, to the point that most every other mutant supports his rule. The world is reshaped, humanity is gone, and in it's place are mutants, lead by a benevolent dictator.
Loved that last one. it was a 2 parter - 1 evil and 1 where she was amazing.
No way Suzy EASILY defeated Dr Doom
This is the same man who ripped out Thanos’ spine for having to much ego
That was doom with true omnipotence and omniscience
Base doom is powerful incredibly so, but here he was overpowered by a being that was just superior.
Well, Ant-Man (Scott Lang) one time defeated and humiliated Doctor Doom, but who knows, plot things, I guess.
That was Dooms stronger form though.
Meanwhile squirrel girl:
Hey "What If" y'all didn't put stuff in the title card that isn't even featured in the video?
Other than that gripe, this was a really fun video!
What if the Venom symbiote merged with the Hulk?
I think it has happened but not 100% sure.
@@IveBeenWithBruma yes
I'll be honest I don't see this going that badly, the reason spiderman and venom made such a good combo was that you had spiderman a dude who was balancing his power with responsibility and venom who brought out the worst in someone, the hulk is technically the worst you can get, to me this will just be another hulk rampage comic with an added venom plot
It would be epic if venom somehow sealed away banner
While controlling Hulks rage
I love all of these
For me, the most horrifying “What If” is where the avengers lose the battle for the serpent crown.
Set manages to enter our world with the help of its seven “brides” (She-Hulk, Dagger, Jean Grey, Scarlet Witch, Invisible Woman? Thundara? Storm)
Most heroes are killed during an assault. All the rest of humanity (including remaining heroes) are turned into lizard like worshippers. Only exceptions on earth are Thor, Doom, One of the Phoenixes, Hulk, Cloak, Wolverine, Sabretooth and some hippie nature guy. Quasar survives in alternate dimension.
In the end all remaining unchanged earth heroes are killed by the brides or Set (except Thor who is pulled into Mother Earth). Set gets imprisoned in Orb of Agamotto by Captain Universe empowered Quasar where they fight for the rest of time. The seven brides give birth to Set’s progeny; the child snakes then _eat_ their mothers after which they go to find new dimensions to conquer!!!
Oh, I think the Silver surfer survives and guards the Eye of Agamotto
I don’t understand how Magneto didn’t just rip the adamantium out of wolverine’s body
Different meeeetal? Not probably
He did already
“I’ll never betray America! I’ll die before that!”
*proceeds to betray America under the threat of death*
18:55 oh lord give me strength.....
You know the story’s f’ed up when doctor doom’s the good guy.
It’s truly scary when Spider-Man stops holding back his punches..
Not exactly a What If Story but the Darkhold comic where Spider-Man goes around New York to save people from a disease called the Unraveling-- the disease makes the person forgetful and unravels their very atoms, making their limbs just fall off while they are conscious but cannot move. Spider-man, doesn't know that he has the sickness and he has been going out there trying to fix things but eventually forgetting it and coming back to his wife Gwen's rotting corpse and apologizing for being late then doing it all over again. In the end he uses Reed Richards as a never dissolving web fluid to web every thing back into it's place.
I remember that mad creepy comic
Those were some COOL stories, seriously, I think I even lost track of time watching the video.
I wanna see a what if they kept the symbiotes ability true if they had venom and carnage would have been unstoppable. No they didn't keep it true because they are supposed to take on traits of those they bond with. Look at all the mutants they bonded with. There power would have been unmatched.
Hey great video
Being on the most formidable hero's Spider-Man as a less passive or all together anti hero would be horrifying. With the proper armor he would be unstoppable.
I actually have that Number one comic. It's very good
I loved the What If's and Elseworlds books they were so interesting
Right out the gate wolverines heal factor would probably keep a symbiote from binding with him, no matter how bad it likes him hahahaha
I thought for sure Marvel Zombies,
and What if the Alien Symbiote bonded with Peter?
Plz make a video on thanos joining the avengers it sounds really cool
Assassin spiderman sounds so cool
How come Johnny Storm wasn't mentioned in the Fantastic 4 story?
The one where Abraham erskine never died was also scary in certain ways
Back in black was him beating the marshmallow fluff out of kingpin for shooting Aunt May....
Are you looking for narrators or voice actors? Would love to be involved! Love the channel and it’s content.
Send me your material.
I'm almost ready to turn my novels into audiobooks.
So I'm going to want voice actors to act out all of the spoken roles.
@@MurakumoVance looking for anything specific or just send anything?
@@JayPine1357 I wanna see everyone's range. Highs, lows. Imitations. Whatever you excel at.
If you are counting down from 10, the halfway mark is 6, not 5.
Venom Galactus is the GOAT.
Franklin Richards could just bring back his family
Wolverine 5'3 300 lb solid muscle and can hit harder than Kingpin without the clause improve upon that you got something juggernaut run in fear of 😇
I don’t think you quite understand the word “scary”! The what if comic where wolverine clawed sabretooth through the head, causing him to lose his memory, and he is stalking jubilee, and psylocke around the X-mansion trying to kill them was scary!
It was volume 87 “screams in the night”
Whenever Spider-Man loses his humanity it is always bad for everyone. He is much like the hulk in that manner
Basically, Namor becomes an analog for Superman in this "What If..." as he becomes the last son of Atlantis.
I like the what if Phoenix lived marvel comic..
The best what if comics are supposed to end and feel like the last one.
In all seriousness, Kingpin actually suffered WORSE in the mainline story. Parker merely wanted Kingpin dead in the whatif, Parker wants Kingpin to suffer a fate worse than death in mainline.
And it's also very clear how much more he cares for his aunt based on his reactions after: He accepts Jane death and turns himself in, while he literally makes a deal with the devil to save his aunt.
If the danger room became a sentient AI has Cerbro become one too? It would make sense given how much psychic energy goes through it.
Every time I see one of these “Scariest What If’s” and What If the Hulk had evolved into the Maestro? is not on it, I wonder if we’re all reading the same comics?
"What if...comics were as cool as they used to be"
What If: Screams in the Night.
If you know you know....
The one where Captain Marvel became the Phoenix was messed up
I'm surprised the quantum virus wasn't mentioned, that story is truly horrifying
6:52 Neymar lol
I have all of these comics. Some of my favorite books.
"Yeah spider man holds back how overpowered he is."
Bro he still could get merced by most of the other heros lmao
But can't Franklin just alter reality to bring his family back?
Even tho theres no proof of it in this video it would seem he hadnt developed powers yet.
You should've included What If the X-Men lost Inferno? The Goblin Queen, Sym and Nastihr converting Wolverine and the Hulk into demonic killing machines? Plus the way Baron Mordo betrayed Strange and the other sorcerors? And the way Kitty, Thor and the Human Torch sacrificed themselves? All of that makes that one of the most horrific What If...? tales ever. Just think, without the Fantastic Four or Avengers around, and with Strange most likely sacrificing his powers PLUS the Living Tribunal banning the Phoenix Force from ever returning to Earth, who would be left to stop the Skrulls from taking over?
Inferno is the one I was going to mention. Wolverine ate babies in that one! Lol
I think that this is too old for this crowd.
LOL'ing you're right @@trejohnson4760
The way the narrator said submariner made me laugh.
Nobody gonna talk about wolverine having that DAWG in him. Smoking all the ops and the only thing that could kill him WAS HIM
Sadly back in black sounds more interesting and has bigger ramifications than just “lol reset him and make him a loser again”
Magneto could have just torn out Wolverine's Admantium skeleton instantly he did it before.
Wouldn't he have to remove his head or heart? Or push his body to his healing power limit?
@@alexisdesmall95 He only tore out the adamantium that was fused to his skeleton.
@@funnyblog100 how tf did I forget that?
@@funnyblog100 "only"
@@SilencedBTM Keep in mind Calcium is also a metal that is stored in the bones and teeth. There is iron in your blood. Magneto can rip your body apart.
The end of the last story reminded me strongly of "Alien", not only because of Xenomorphish lil Suzie.
Dude... Dude...
Submarine-ER???
Sub- MARINER!!
A lot of people in the comments clearly haven't heard of the 'what if' series and think this includes one offs
I loved the series and I love infinity ultron
"telaporting logan out of magnetos range and back again" gee didnt know they could telaport him all the way to another galaxy. Ya know since magneto has effected the magnetic fields of other planets from earth.
Idk how about you but i wasnt scared or smth, but the thing that rlly scared me is Savage Spiderman
Darkest ones I saw when I read them [What If was my fave magazine]:
Avengers were pawns of Korvac [who causes "All to become Nothing"]
What If Hulk went Berserk [that should've been on this list, TBH]
Wolverine: Agent of Hydra/Hand
FF's Suzy [I thought she's actually an alien from the Negative Zone that infected Sue, she didn't know it]
World War Hulk leading to Skrulls' Not-So-Secret Invasion
Prof X became Juggernaut
Spider-Man becomes "The Other" (Peter David wrote that one, it's crazy)
Peter Parker becomes a SPIDER-Man, and has a son who's the same (that one was really dark)
Ultron "marries" Danger [it's much worse than they depicted here!]
And finally...Sabretooth hunts down Jubilee, and shreds a bunch of XMen along the way.
Ultron having a sentinel as his son is horrifying enough. and the sentinel army and Ultron's army are going to combine and create another distopia.
What If scary story was Wolverine becoming a vampire. After Dracula bit Storm, Storm bit wolverine and the rest of the X-Men. Dracula thought he controlled everybody. But his control didn’t work on Wolverine. Wolverine killed Dracula to became king of the vampires and literally turned everyone, hero and villain on earth a vampire.
Betrayals, death, undying horror, the Earth being destroyed for living creatures. This truly qualifies as one of the most horrifying outcomes as anything that lands on earth will be destroyed to join the undead vampires. It’s only a matter of time before they go out to the galaxy.
Check out What If we lost Atlantis Attacks the entity Set kills everything and the ending is awesome.
19:00 *sweats in doujin*
You don't know what scary is bro
Honorable Mentions:
What if the Avengers became the pawns of Korvac?
What if the X-Men lost Inferno?
What if Wolverine became lord of the vampires?
What if the marvel super heroes lost Atlantis Attacks?
I absolutely LOVE "What If Wolverine was Lord of the Vampires"! I read it so many times that it fell apart and I had to go grab another from a back issue bin. I do believe it's gonna be in the next "What If?" Omnibus that comes out this year. I've already pre-ordered it!
What if Wolverine became Lord of the Vampires is probably over most of these. But it also shows how bad ass punisher is to even survive
I'm still waiting for this list to have the Venom Wolverine on the thumbnail
Danger and Ultron run through the X-men? Umm...Where is Magneto? He would trash them in a second.
Ummmm....NO, dude.
A spiderman who is no longer cracking jokes is a very scary man indeed.
the "Submarine-er"
jesus...
Wait what?! HOW is Spider-Man The Other storyline not in here?!
What about what if zombies where Peter eats ain’t may??
Spider man’s able to. Punch through king pin because he holds back when fighting villans a lot so when he’s really mad I think he stops holding back
The dark series where the Marvel universe becomes zombies, except for a select few. Zombie Spider-Man kills and eats Sandman's family. Sandman finds the *real* Spider-Man, and, thinking it's the zombie version, bellers "you ate my family, let's see how you like eating ME!"...and pours his entire sand-transformed self down Spidey's throat! Naturally, Spidey's stomach explodes, leaving a rather macabre scene where Peter Parker is dead, his abdomen hollowed out, ribs blown out, and his lower jaw missing...and he's partially covered in sand.
