Elvis: The Legendary Tours seems to be doing well, so I'm trying to think of the next Dianaverse title.

The Beatles ought to lend themselves to some type of superhero treatment. Weren't they those famous 1960s moon astronauts?!


I already have heroic sidekicks John Lenin and Senator 'Joe' McCartney in Elvis: The Legendary Tours, I don't really want to mess around with them in another book. Making them astronauts is also going to be a little limiting, though something like the Fantastic Four might be a possibility.

I should maybe make it clear that the game uses bad "historical" TV series as its model, and frequently conflates two or more people from wildly different eras into a single character. A typical example is scientist, boxer, and jazz trombonist Louis Pasteur, who conflates Joe Louis, Louis Pasteur, and Louis Armstrong. Diana was formerly married to Bonnie Prince Charlie, and her associates include American riverboat gambler Wild Bill Gates. In Elvis... some of the other characters include Billie 'Doc' Holliday, roadie Bob 'The Builder' Marley, and mystic martial artist musician Jean Claude Van Halen. If I can come up with some character ideas like that, and a unifying theme, I will be VERY happy.
