As Cuddy and House being together is making House happy and House can't be happy Cuddy is going to have to die to give House something to be depressed about as if they were to split up House would just spend his whole time trying to get her back and that wouldn't be nearly as dramatic and house wouldn't be as depressed.

[[WMG: Cuddy and Wilson will get together]]
I've been thinking about this for a few episodes now. The creator of the show has specifically said he liked to keep things fresh, and he achieves this by placing House into new situations. Over the past years we've seen House go from leader of a team, to losing his best friends, to trying to be a better person to being happy in a relationship. There are very few dynamics left to explore without experiencing regression, which viewers hate. If I was writing the show, and I had just split up House and Cuddy to create drama and new situations, the next avenue to explore would be Cuddy in a relationship with another person; Namely, Wilson. There's been a definite increase in chemistry between the two of recent, I first incepted this idea during the episode where Cuddy is "dieing". Wilson performs an ultrasound on her, in which she holds in her stomach to look more attractive. That moment peaked my interest, but I thought nothing of it until the break up. Mark my words, Wilson and Cuddy will be together by the season finale; That will be the main source of drama that this series ends on. I'll be back here post-finale to confirm or joss this, watch this space.

And, like in Haruhi’s case, his coworkers know about his power and try to keep it a secret from him at all cost. This is why he keeps his job and why everyone is surprisingly tolerant of his attitude to medical ethics and his Jerkass acts: they know that if they fired him, punished him, or called him out on his actions as often as he deserves it, he would get annoyed, and his subconsciousness would destroy the world. This is also why, every time he was in the real trouble - see the Vogler arc or the Tritter arc - someone saved him in the end. This is why Wilson returned so soon in Season 5. And, last but not least, this is why medical mysteries happen every week in House’s universe; he subconsciously wishes various people to fall ill with rare/strange diseases so they can be admitted to his service. That way, he has riddles that keep him entertained.

House himself is possibly and alternate version of Wildcat (Ted Grant). Wildcat did teach Batman and several other of the best fighting heroes how to fight, just in this earth he taught them how to diagnose illnesses better than anyone. I'm not sure about any of the others, but I doubt they all have to be superheroes, some could be alternate versions of characters surrounding the heroes.

[[WMG: House takes place in one of the 52 earths of the DCU]]

Not a great deal of ideas for this one but I briefly started thinking about this when I learned of Kutner's past. This is an earth where superheroes are not prominent or widely publisized and also one where character's have similar yet diverging backgrounds because of their ancestors. Kutner is an alternate Batman. His family was not rich like the Waynes but he suffered the same tragedy of seeing his parents killed in front of him by a mugger as a child. He could have gone the way of the crime fighter but between his foster care and other things he decided to become a doctor instead. Eventually he would have become a metahuman specialist like Doctor Midnite. He was murdered by someone working for Joe Chill who was the mugger on this earth as well. Joe Chill became more powerful in prison, gaining contacts and managed to have Kutner killed before his next parole hearing was due.
