The Acts of Vengeance crossover event has been discussed here and I won't rehash any of that, except to wonder what great switcheroos of heroes and villains could have been.

My favorite? The Fantastic Four versus Ultron. I think the homicidal robot could have given Reed a run for his money. Imagine if Ultron subverted HERBIE or Roberta to get intel, then launched an attack that blew apart the Baxter Building. It could be one heck of a battle.

Throwing it open to the Forum, are there any hero/villain swaps you'd like to see? Bear in mind that Dr. Doom has fought most of Marvel's heroes at one point or another.

I'll say - I had been reading comics for a little over 3 years or so when ACTS OF VENGEANCE came along, so I was around 10 years old. That crossover did its job, I picked up a lot of different books after the fact. I also hadn't read an AVENGERS #1 reprint at that point, so the "Loki as mastermind" revelation was new!

Ultron versus the FF does make a lot of sense, kind of surprised that didn't happen more often.
