Megamind post-reform; he could solve all the world’s problems that can be solved technologically. And make a fortune doing it (wonder why that never occurred to him). ---

My first thought was Jessica Rabbit too, but those proportions would just be…offf. [Clinton Tyree](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_Tyree), aka Skink. Maybe convince him to work in NY for a little bit. ---

> [@Subterraneanus](#): > > Jesus of Nazareth > [@Oakminster](#): > > If said fictional character gets all powers/qualities etc as described, I think Jesus is the optimal choice. I get that you don’t believe in God or the resurrection of Jesus; but it’s pretty well established, and believed among modern scholars that Jesus did exist. The first fictional person I thought of was Eddie Morra, the character played by Bradley Cooper in Limitless. But that would only be worth it if he would give me some of his magic pills. 🙂 ---

I’m torn between “Sabrina Duncan” as played by Kate Jackson in the original “Charlie’s Angels” TV series, and Wonder Woman as embodied (!?!) by Lynda Carter. Both for purely selfish reasons, of course… ---

I’ve had to rethink some of my first choices: How could I choose Modesty Blaise without Willie Garvin? Clark Savage Jr. without his Fabulous Five? Steed without King(or vice versa)? In the world we have now Woodrow Wilson Smith would just lay low, and Sherlock Holmes would be way out of his league. I choose Swamp Thing. ---

Do the characters bring their special features (magic, super powers, phlebotinum-based technology, etc) with them? If so, the characters themselves would be almost trivial compared to the fact that by bringing them here we would be _altering the very nature of reality_. ---
