Shozbat! Hit “reply” too soon. Anyway, continuing where I left off - Natasha Romanoff: Former spy for the treacherous M.A.Q.U.I.S. She switched sides thanks to the intervention of Nick Fury, director of Starfleet’s anti-espionage “Shield” program. Counselor Jean Grey: A star pupil at the Xavier Institute on Betazed, and high-level telepath. She was thought to have died when her runabout “the Phoenix” was damaged by a solar flare, and sent to a crashlanding in the Atlantic Ocean. She survived of course, and uses her uncanny telepathic abilities to counsel the crew of the Mighty Avenger through their ‘dark periods.’ Ensign Peter Parker: Clumsy, awkward Ensign Parker would be considered a hopeless crewmember. Except for his amazing ability to forsee and avoid dangerous situations. He is the only ‘red-shirt’ to have survived a succession of away missions. Now I’m done. ---

I remember that post from last year, Art, and still love it. Any chance of you expanding your universe to include space stations? ---

**Art.** You missed the obvious Lt. Omoro reference, and her uncanny ability to weather the storm of communcations and control various sub-space frequencies. Other than that, bravo. I liked your redshirt reference. ---

> [@Art Vandelay](#): > > Nick Fury, director of Starfleet’s anti-espionage “Shield” program. Might want to change this to “Shield [Section 31](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_31),” or something. (Just a thought) ---

I’ll have to give that some thought and get back to you. But, just off the top of my head, but yeah there just may be a “Mighty Avenger: Gamma Quadrant West” or something like that in this Amalgam universe. ---
