Twilight of The Superheroes
is a Marvel Comics fanfiction by the writer Maksvell that bases its premise on Alan Moore's The Twilight of the Superheroes, but setting it within the Marvel Universe. It deviates further from there with it taking place fully within the present of a world divided by The Houses of Heroes with the House of Fantastic planning on taking full control away from The House of Might which is headed by the Avengers.
Tropes found in the fanfiction:
- Adaptational Gender Identity: Starlord is typically a man in most settings, but in this fanfiction is almost exclusively referred to as 'she'.
- Adaptational Jerkass: Lunella Layfayette always landed on the softer side of meanness, but in the story, she very casually aids in a torturous punishment of a Screentime.
- Adaptational Job Change: Kamala Khan is the Midnight King of The Inhumans.
- Bureaucratically Arranged Marriage: Valeria Richards of the House of Fantastic is set to marry Gabby Kinney of the House of X.
- Death by Adaptation:
- Jubilee was murdered by Laura Kinney.
- Reed Richards and Sue Storm were killed in an Explosion.
- It's implied that Devil Dinosaur and Nova were killed by Deadpool, just like Luke Cage.
- Named by the Adaptation: The character Screentime was originally meant to appear in a revival of Marvel's New Warriors, but the project never got off the table. In this fanfiction, he is given the name Sile Chen.
- Offing the Offspring: Magneto killed Quicksilver in the backstory.
- Related in the Adaptation: Screentime and Xiaoyi Chen are siblings.
