View Full Version : Pitch your favorite character as a WB sitcom

A friend and I were discussing the success of that Smallville show (which I guess is now on CW, but whatever) and how Marvel really dropped the ball in not tailoring one of their classic characters as a teenage high school sitcom or dramedy. We came up with a concept for Captain America that I thought was pretty funny, and I invite you to submit your own. Here's the pitch for Cap Rogers and his Amazing Posse (title needs some work):
Cap Rogers is a regular, all-American boy living in a small Midwestern town with his Uncle Nick, the head of the P.T.A. (Yeah, I know Cap's from NYC. Work with me, here!) At school he tries out for the basketball team, the Invaders, but doesn't make the cut until he drinks a secret formula. Now Cap has to juggle his athletic career, his girlfriend Sharon (the girl's soccer champion), and keep evil Principal Schmidt from finding out his secret.
The other guys on the Invaders team are Cap's best friend Jim, nicknamed "Falcon", Jim Hammond, and Namor (we may have to rename Namor). Bucky is this tagalong middle schooler who's sent away to Ebil Russian Boarding School and comes back all strange. Rachel (Diamondback of the comics) is a member of the Serpent's Sorority at the local college, a bad girl with a heart of gold. Crossbones is the local bully, shaking down the teenagers for lunch money (although Cap suspects Crossbones is, like, way past high school age) but he gets away with it because he's dating Principal Schmidt's daughter. Helmut Zemo is the art geek who hates Cap because of an incident involving Cap, Helmut's dad, and a glue gun. Umm, that's the best we could do to explain all the disaffected Germans hanging around the campus.

the first (and last) 12 issues of Irredeemable Ant-Man would have made an awesome tv show. the character's the right age to be on the WB and i'd love to see a live-action Black Fox.
"Eric O'Grady,low-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. who stumbles upon Dr. Henry Pym's latest incarnation of the Ant-Man suit in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters. A man of very few morals and willingness to lie, cheat, steal, and manipulate in order to get ahead in life, Eric immediately steals the armor for his own selfish plans, which include using his status as a "super-hero" to stalk and seduce women and humiliate and torment others. follow his growth this Fall."
for leads, i'm thinking Gabriel Mann or that Chace Crawford kid. just need someone who is attractive enough to keep the audience's attention but able to play it straight while being a colossal a-hole.

Spidey would probly work best since people already love him plus he's got the whole teenager thing going on..

Ok! Time to warp beloved characters into angst/sex/drama filled versions of themselves!
The Baxter Building- A new prime-time teen dramady from the CW
The show follows a group of sexy college-age students living in Empire State University's overflow housing in the delapadated Baxter Building. They live here and try to maintain there social lives living so far away from there friends and dealing with the pressures of college life.
Forced into this housing are...
Reed Richards- Double Doctoral candidate who's somehow both insanely good looking but considered a dork. He's a transfer from Cambridge where he did his undergrad work when he was 14. He dosn't know it yet but he's going to fall madly in love with a new girl... dispite his on again off again relationship with fellow hyper-genius Allysa Moy.
Ben Grimm- Football Star and ladies-man extrodinare, Grimm grew up next to Richards before he went away to college when he was going into high school. They've agreed to room together. Grimm spends 90% of his day in the gym and unbeknown to reed has a steroid problem. Grimm sees the potential in making the baxter building "party central" for ESU.
Wyatt Wingfoot- Reed and Ben’s suitemate, Wyatt is a track and field star. The most level-headed of the group, Wyatt is a criminal science major
Susan Storm- a freshman, Storm was original rejected from housing till her father called about the possiblity of letting a freshman stay in the overflow baxter-building. She develops an immediate crush on Reed Richards, but she's got too many suitors and he's too distracted for them to get together right away.
Alica Masters- Sue's suietmate, Alica is a stone-cold fox... who happens to be blind. She and ben share a terrible secret, but the school has paid her off to keep quiet (I think it'll end up that ben is somehow responsible for her blindness, just to rachet up the angst). Ben clearly cares for her but he can’t realy bring himself to admit it.
Crystal Maximoff- another of Sue’s suitemates, Crystal is the party-girl of the group. She’s insanely wealthy and the rest of the group assumes that she’s royal since her and victor seem to know eachother intimately and loath eachother. She’s currently dating namor, but she thinks Johnny’s pretty damn hot.
Jen Walters- Sue’s last suitemate, Jen is a timid, shy pre-law student. She’s hopelessly in love with Wyatt, but she’s got real repression issues, even though take her glasses off and correct her posture and she’s gorgeous. She spends most of her time studying, though when she dose party she tends to realy overdo herself, leading to Crystal nicknaming her the “big green machine” for the amount she vomits when she has apple martinis.
Victor Von Doom- a prince in his native Latvaria, Doom has purchased a whole floor in the Baxter building to serve as his room (since due to a dispute with US immigration services he has to live "on campus"). Doom spends most of his time in a special room trying to merge his science and spells. He's got that foregin sex appeal that people try to buy, and he has female suitors in numbers only rivaled by grimm.
Namor McKenzie- the only person that Doom considers a friend, the Irish native Namor is obsessed with Sue Storm. Star of the school swim team, he's staying at the baxter building because of the presence of a pool in the basement that he can use as a private practice area. Is nicknamed Submariner for his underwater swimming skills (he holds the national college record). He starts of as the steryotypical jerk, but gains depth as the show goes on.
Bill Lumpkin, the building’s Resident Director, Willy (as his friends call him) is often the only true adult involved in any given situation. His little sister Bille is around often, and she’s got romantic eyes on Johnny Storm.
Non-Residents-
Lyla James- A Junior, Lyla is a shifty character who seems intent on replacing Alicia Masters as Ben’s love. She’s been spying on Reed and Ben for some time under the supervision of the School’s Dean of Students- Daniel Dorek IV. Her step brother Patrick Bock hovers protectively around her, though he seems to support her stealing Ben’s heart.
Johnny Storm- Sue’s younger brother attends high school in the city, but hangs around his sisters suite in the Baxter building a lot. He’s begun to secretly have a physical relationship with Bille, even though he’s more attracted to Lyla. Johnny looks up to Wyatt a great deal and they are, dispite the few year age difference, good friends. Johnny has wrecked every car he’s ever been allowed to drive, not from poor driving, but from going too fast.
Nita McKenzie- Namor’s little sister, she’s an exchange student at Johnny’s school. She’ll be a minor character at first.
Allysa Moy- Reed's somtime girlfriend, Allyssa is ruthless and has major ambition. She's been sleeping with doom for months.
Other characters introduced will be students and faculty, Crystal’s family, and the rest of the extended Lyla James (Lyja), Patrick Bock (Paibok, the power skrull) conspiracy and other FF mainstays.
In the course of the first few episodes, Reed will be challenged by some of his friends to steal the government-made “Mini –spaceship” that he’s been working on. Sue, Johnny and Ben will go along and the rest of the gang will drunkenly cheer on. They get bombarded with cosmic rays… and the rest is history! Angst! Sex! Super-Powers! It's Smallville without the kryptonite!
I'll take my check at any time...

This thread reminds me of that horrible CBS drama, Blind Justice, which if nothing else was good for a laugh. Letterman got a lot of mileage out it, as a matter of fact. The bit where he had the lead accidentally shooting a hot dog vendor while trying to stop a criminal comes to mind. Good stuff.
Also, there's the, what is it? "Justice Friends," I think. A sitcom spoof of the Avengers that occasional appeared on Dexter's Lab. Had canned laughter and everything if I'm not mistaken.
Anyway, to the topic at hand: a Daredevil series in the vein of Smallville probably wouldn't be that hard. First episode is Matt Murdock being blinded and gaining his abilities. Cast is rounded out by his boxing father, along with his classmates and best friends, Karen Page and Franklin "Foggy" Nelson. Wilson Fisk, nicknamed "Kingpin," is the resident bully at the school, while the school paper is run by one Ben Urich, who secretly suspects Matt is more than he appears to be.
The Kingpin's father is secretly trying to overrun New York, while "radioactive freaks," thugs who were affected by the same radiation as Matt but in different ways, occasionally terrorize the suburbs where Matt lives and goes to school. He, of course, stops them without them ever really learning who he is or how he did it.
Teenage angst is delivered in the form of Foggy going steady with Karen, while she secretly pines away for Matt's affection. The triangle is further complicated when the new foriegn exchange student, Elektra, catches Matt's ey... er, ears midway through the series.

that last line makes me want to gouge my own eyes out and not be doused with radioactive waste. why not just have Fisk be kingpin (early in his career) and be responsible for all of the crime in Matt's neighborhood?

This fall on the CW, Rhode Island will never be the same.
Nate Summers is in his junior year of high school. Smart, athletic, talented, he's the envy of everyone in school. Guys want to be him, girls want to be with him. He lives in Providence, Rhode Island, with his divorced dad, Scott, on stately Greymalkin Lane: the heart of the ritzy "Askani" district. Yes, Nate's life was perfect...until he got a new brother.
Wade Wilson was that kid in kindergarten who used to eat all the paste out of the jar, and then suck on the jar. Known both for his extensive delinquency and his refusal to shut up, ever, people around town know him as the "Mug with a Mouth." He's taken to hanging around some unsavory characters, such as the nerdy hacker Weasel, or his lackey, Rob Hydra. Scott Summers, a local social worker, has agreed to take in Wade to try and give him a better home...a situation that suddenly finds him living down the hall from the person in school whom he hates most.
Forced to live under the same roof, can Wade and Nate ever resolve their differences? Or will our cable viewers have to start a dead pool on who's getting bounced first? Find out this fall in:
"The Deep End."

That was part of the idea- it's the WB! Everyone is sexy and basicaly Bimbo and Himbos, except for the main characters who you know DEEP DOWN aren't tramps- it's all a matter of circumstance. ;)
I've got some other ideas, but I'm running out now so I'll post them later... but I do have a plan for Galactus and his heralds. Or should I call him SEXlactus? Probably not. He's got nothing to do with that part of the show. But he dose have giant purple pants.

I could very much see that. He's a friend of reed, and reeds a smidge older then the rest of the cast, so him having a baby and being incapable of supporting himself or finishing his studies would bring great drama to the show. And in season 2 here comes Jessica Jones and Luke Cage to stir up even MORE love triangles.
In any case, Silver Surfer in this variation would be akin to the ultimate versions of both Vision and gah lak tus' silver wings. The surfer is sent to either distract or eliminate the greatest minds in existance. the distraction is easier because it arouses no suspicion. By embroiling the likes of reed, scott lang and victor von doom in personal drama he assures that earth has no chance of stopping the approach of his master Galactus. He decides to throw a huge party to coincide with the coming of galactus so that all the super-nerds are away from there machines (think of the cameos! A drunk tony stark passed out on the table! Hank Pym and a black-eye weilding janet! Hank McCoy doing kareoke with Simon Williams!). there is a Surfer in every city doing this. He's called the silver surfer because his hair is platinum blonde, edging on white and he... well... surfs. His name would be Norman Ingersol Radzinski, but his DJ name is Norrin Radd.
And Galactus will NOT be a cloud. I know this is supposed to be funny, but for the love of god! Purple Pants! Wooooo!!!

The all-female version of Seinfeld, featuring the wrestling quartet known as the Grapplers!
Starring Davida DeVito as Titania, as the wisecracking comedienne! Watch her as she goes through a series of boyfriends whom she finds all sorts of quirky faults in! Co-starring Hellen Feliciano as Letha, Titania's former lesbian lover and novelist who just can't seem to find that special someone. Also, Marian Pouncy as Poundcakes, Titania's best friend who's paranoia can't seem to find her a job! And finally, Melissa Schwartz as Screaming Mimi, Titania's crazy next-door neighbor who has the annoying habit of the pop-in! These four women have nothing but each other in the hustle and bustle New York City!
Thinking of poundcakes as George Costanza was the highlight of my night. good job!

Cap Rogers is a regular, all-American boy living in a small Midwestern town with his Uncle Nick, the head of the P.T.A. (Yeah, I know Cap's from NYC. Work with me, here!) At school he tries out for the basketball team, the Invaders, but doesn't make the cut until he drinks a secret formula. Now Cap has to juggle his athletic career, his girlfriend Sharon (the girl's soccer champion), and keep evil Principal Schmidt from finding out his secret.
The only problem I can see with your pitch would be the secret formula part. Smells awfully like steroid use for sports reasons and I'd think that'd be a big no-no for censors and the hypercritical parent watchdog groups. Other than that sounds good.
For me, just add Iron Fist and Luke Cage together, and you got a mix between the Odd Couple and Bosom Buddies. Have 'em be young twentysomethings (Danny being the man-with-a-plan slacker who's been cutoff by his rich daddy and Luke being the responsible guy from the streets trying to make it big as well as the victim of Danny's constant schemes) looking for a place to stay, but the only place they can afford is a woman's dorm. You know what that means... Cross dressing (complete with bootie slippers and blouses/tiaras!) and comedic hijinx abounds as "Danielle" and "Lucy" fall for and try to keep up appearances under the watchful eyes of next door neighbors Colleen &Misty.:D
...on second thought, that'd probably be an ABC series. :p

And instead of lame Seinfeld jokes ending every episode, they could just, y'know, wrestle! It'd be awesome!!

This fall on the CW, Rhode Island will never be the same.
Nate Summers is in his junior year of high school. Smart, athletic, talented, he's the envy of everyone in school. Guys want to be him, girls want to be with him. He lives in Providence, Rhode Island, with his divorced dad, Scott, on stately Greymalkin Lane: the heart of the ritzy "Askani" district. Yes, Nate's life was perfect...until he got a new brother.
Wade Wilson was that kid in kindergarten who used to eat all the paste out of the jar, and then suck on the jar. Known both for his extensive delinquency and his refusal to shut up, ever, people around town know him as the "Mug with a Mouth." He's taken to hanging around some unsavory characters, such as the nerdy hacker Weasel, or his lackey, Rob Hydra. Scott Summers, a local social worker, has agreed to take in Wade to try and give him a better home...a situation that suddenly finds him living down the hall from the person in school whom he hates most.
Forced to live under the same roof, can Wade and Nate ever resolve their differences? Or will our cable viewers have to start a dead pool on who's getting bounced first? Find out this fall in:
"The Deep End."
...Tada!
lmao

YAY! Cable & Deadpool on the small screen! You just forgot about Nate's on-again off-again albino bed buddy Domino who happens to have a weird all black tattoo on one eye

She, along with her little clique, called the "Six Pack" because they love beer and there's six of 'em, would be introduced as time went on :p
