    It'd actually make the most sense. Hell's Kitchen was only the dive that the comics make it out to be back in the 70s or possibly earlier. Apparently nowadays it's a very affluent area. And the Fantastic Four were astronauts; it'd make more sense to be active during the period when it was actually a new frontier (in fact, since I've always felt the Marvel universe is too New York-centric, I've thought about how interesting it would be to rewrite the FF as Russian cosmonauts, but that's just me). Finally, the X-Men make the most sense as an analog to the Civil Rights movement, which was in the 60s and 70s. All in all, a 60s/70s setting for all of the Fox properties would've made a hell of a lot of sense.




    That was actually done in the What If series that Marvel put out.

    Plus I think it would draw too many comparisons to Red Son.

    It would, just as the comic version did.

    Anything coming up against Red Son is gonna fall flat.

    Ah I thought it was part of the early 90's 'What if?' heyday, didn't realise it was post Red Son. Although when I went to Google it one of the suggestions was 'What if the Fantastic Four were bananas?'....which actually occurred in 1982. Now there's a unique approach.
