Brandon could possibly attract and/or inspire other evil versions of superheroes.

Who knows how many other people in this world may have the same idea as Brandon, such as an "Evil Batman", as demonstrated in works like Nemesis?

A woman from a hidden society who journey's into the outside world...and deems it a hellhole whose people need to be put out of their misery due to the existence of Brandon (based on Wonder Woman). This woman might get redemption, learn to denounce Brandon without denouncing humanity, and become a hero, resulting in a final battle between her and Brandon.
A man without fear gains a great alien weapon sent to Earth to combat Brandon...and promptly destroys everything around him with no regard for what will happen due to his wild stunts with it (based on Hal Jordan). This man might eventually redeem himself and become a hero, helping the redeemed Wonder Woman expy fight against Brandon.
A wealthy businessman is injured in one of Brandon's rampages and has scientists convert him into a cyborg to save his life. Since this disfigures him, he weaponizes himself to take revenge on Brandon...with no regard for whoever gets killed in the crossfire (based on Iron Man).
- This businessman might get help from people, they would help redeem him, and he would become a hero.
- He would create an army of androids to help him protect people from Brandon and bring him down once and for all.
- And he would even form a team comprised of himself and some war veterans, give them Powered Armor, and they would work together to take down Brandon and save the world.
The US government tries to create their own super being and selects a seemingly perfect patriotic soldier to become him. It's a success...and he turns out to be an extremist who tries to overthrow the US government so he can run the country the way he sees fit (based on Captain America).
A young man is mortally wounded and disfigured in an accident, and the only way to save his life is to turn him into a cyborg. The loss of his humanity drives him insane and he goes on a rampage (based on Cyborg).
Regarding the aforementioned "Evil Batman," this would be his backstory: A boy sees his parents murdered by a mugger in an alley-full of rage, he pulls out his pocket knife and stabs the mugger to death. At that moment, he realizes how good killing that man felt, and as such devotes his life to making murder an art form; he travels all over the word, learning numerous martial arts to make his body the ultimate natural killing machine, and studies various sciences and arts to fashion the most state-of-the-art murder weapons and to learn how to make every scene look like an accident.
- Alternatively, Villain!Batman could blamed society for the deaths of his parents, so he dedicates the rest of his life to killing society to avenge his parents.
  - Or, even better, both evil versions of Batman can co-exist in the Brightburn Universe.
- These evil versions of superheroes might from their own Legion of Doom.
A pedophile gains the ability to transform into a young boy and also gains Flying Brick and electricity powers, all to make it easier for him to get close to his victims. (A creepy reverse version of Shazam).
An alien princess with Flying Brick powers and energy projection... who is completely Yandere for a Badass Normal acrobatic detective ('What if Starfire was Yandere for Dick Grayson?', basically).
A killer robot who can take the form of a balloon-like robot, a humanoid butler-like robot, and a dragon-like robot. He would be created by a couple of Mad Scientist teenage brothers who also happen to be fascists who want him to take over a city so they can force Japanese culture down that city's throats (based on Baymax).
A deranged comic book fanboy who holds a grudge on his former idol gains the power to transform into a kaiju monster... (Based on Fredzilla.)
A young woman creates a purse that can summon any weapon she wants.... and she uses it to get revenge on the killer who murdered her technology-savvy boyfriend, not caring about who gets caught in the crossfire. (based on Honey Lemon.) This woman might redeem herself somehow and become a hero.
A man with a Flying Brick power-set who started as a caring man who compassionately helped his fellow man by using his powers covertly, but unfortunately his similarly-powered wife goes mad with power since she realized she could not handle being a housewife and murders their son and the man's best friend.
- After killing his wife, the man slowly starts going insane due to guilt towards himself, regret over what happened, and anger at his now-dead wife, becomes a nihilist and a heavy drinker, and due to his physiology, the drinking somehow enhances his powers further.
- He does not get literally drunk, but his nihilism and growing madness leads to him becoming not caring about other people anymore and metaphorically drunk with power and he now wants more physical impact for his powers to bring, doing anything to become stronger (based on Hancock, except instead of going from literally drunk to literally sober, he goes from morally sober to becoming drunk with power).
- His former wife may come back, either as a super-zombie who still retains her Flying Brick powers that she had in life or she simply becomes more powerful that before (Based on Mary, also from Hancock).
All around the world, people start manifesting otherworldly powers, causing them to become hated and feared by the rest of society. The newly powered humans proceed to use their abilities to violently fight back and ensure their safety by any means necessary. (aka "What if the X-Men had been founded on Magneto's ideals?"). Some of these powered humans might find redemption and become heroes, whereas other powered humans might stay villains. Unfortunately though, it will still be played for horror, because elements of PTSD-related and guilt-related psychological horror will be a recurring theme.
A corrupt private detective with magical powers who takes bribes from the supervillains (Based on John Constantine).
A group of time-travelling rapists who use their eccentric personalities to lure in victims (Based on The Doctors, from 1-13).

A man who gains superpowers with the activation of a watch goes into in-universe movies to recruit those movies' villains, with the intention of forcing his views on movies onto others (AKA What if Viewtiful Joe was a dictator?).
A woman who gains light manipulation and Flying Brick powers from a power-granting drug, and she is so addicted to the drug that she goes on rampages anytime she cannot get a "fix" of that same drug (AKA What if Starlight was addicted to the drug that granted her powers?).
A corrupt time-travelling celebrity superhero who takes bribes from supervillains to "look the other way" and even covertly murder other superheroes, and the supervillains take advantage of this superhero's ego (AKA What if Booster Gold was secretly evil?).
A young man with spider-like powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider is overly protective of his redhead girlfriend, killing anyone who is even remotely a threat to his aforementioned girlfriend (AKA What if Spider-Man was a Yandere?).
An alcoholic woman with superhuman strength, speed, durability, leap, agility, reflexes, and stamina in addition to superhuman immune system and metabolism and slowed aging gained her powers from a special drug, and she's falsely marketed by a corrupt pharmaceutical company as a mystical Amazonian warrior. She murders people to cover up the crimes of her company (AKA What if Queen Maeve was a straight-up villain instead of an anti-hero?).
An extremely advanced android with the elemental powers of wind and fire, capable of superhuman feats and computer manipulation escapes captivity and slays its creator. (Amalgamation of the Human Torch and Red Tornado).

A man who turns into a lightning monster (based on Thor).
- Alternatively, the character is Zeus, played straight. Not a monster based on Zeus, or a creature calling himself Zeus, but the actual in-universe Olympian god Zeus, in all his glory, showing that while a thunder god appearing in the modern age to defend humanity is cool in principle, the modern age has... different standards, and wouldn’t want to put up with Zeus’s arrogance, pride, and serial rapist tendencies, but wouldn’t have a choice because he’s the only thing standing between them and destruction, being capable of fighting off the other villains. He also expects to be worshipped and served by everyone he protects - so basically, he’s just another villain, he’s just ‘’slightly’’ more reasonable.
- Alternatively, both evil versions of Thor could exist in the same universe; after all, what's wrong with having more than one expy (as long as both are well-written, of course)?
A female ace pilot who gains energy projection, flight, superhuman strength, speed, durability, and leap, superhuman senses of smell, touch, taste, sight, and hearing, as well as self-sustenance from an alien cube, and she willingly joins an alien empire that was trying to harness the powers of that same alien cube. She helps them commit genocide against different sapient alien species the aliens deem "inferior" using her powers (based on Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers, except she was not brainwashed into evil nor were her memories wiped and willingly joined the alien tyrants).
As an alternative idea for an evil version of Carol Danvers, a woman who is enhanced by Brandon's species and has her memory erased and discovers her past...but is unable to overcome her conditioning on her own and ends up killing all her old friends. The aforementioned superpowered woman might get character development and become a hero if somebody helps her snap out of the brainwashing.

A boy was kidnapped by a group of intergalactic serial killers for him to join them (based on the Guardians of the Galaxy).

Think Comic Book!Go-Go Tomago if she chose to stay in the Yakuza.)
A team of military-based superheroes turn into super-vampires.... and they are lead by a vampire military general as they invade America (based on the Avengers).

Another government agent who is a Loony Fan for the supervillains, and is eventually subjected to Came Back Wrong (Phil Coulson).
A shrinking man who enters people's body cavities and makes them explode from the inside. Another Horror Comedy. (Ant-Man) This shrinking man might redeem himself and become a hero.
A woman with the ability to drain others' memories, abilities, and souls through any physical contact, with none of Rogue's restraint. This young woman might get character development and become a hero.
A Nigh-Invulnerable woman who fused with a rat (Squirrel Girl). Yet another Horror Comedy. This woman might get character development and become a hero.
A fanatical ex-KGB agent serial killer with enhanced strength and speed (Black Widow). This ex-KGB Agent might learn to overcome her fanaticism and become a hero.
An angry veteran with mechanical wings who tries to overthrow the government because he believes it does not appreciate his sacrifices (Falcon). He might get over his grudge and become a hero.
A psychic woman who attempted to be a superhero, but ended up being subjected to a Mind Rape that left her as a bitter villain (Jessica Jones). This woman might learn how to redeem herself, and choose to do so, with the best part of her redemption being her becoming the hero that will use psychic mind tricks to take down the supervillain known as Brightburn.
An ex-con with bulletproof skin who tries to do good but finds that he can't overcome his criminal lifestyle (Luke Cage). He might find someone who can help him redeem himself, follows that advice, and becomes a hero.
A serial killer with chi-based energy powers who practices martial arts (Iron Fist). This martial artist might get character development and redeem himself.
A veteran who lost his family and now indiscriminately kills people in "revenge" (Punisher). He might find redemption and become a hero.
A motorcyclist who became a soldier of god but used his newfound powers for evil purposes (essentially a reverse Ghost Rider). This ex-soldier of god might get character development and become a hero.
A teacher who uses powerful mind control abilities to imprison his students and make these children act as his enforcers and personal army of sorts. When questioned, he just spins a sob story about how he's the victim of anti-mutated human bigotry. Intellectually, everyone knows this is a lie, but they are compelled by his power to believe it (Professor Charles Xavier). Some of his superpowered students develop resistance to his powers and form resistance groups to stop him. But, for an added layer of horror, this villain is half-right, in that anti-mutated human bigotry does exist in the Brightburn Universe, but his actions are certainly NOT helping matters at all. So in other words, his horrible deeds are making the anti-mutated human bigotry EVEN WORSE.
An elitist royal group of supervillains who deluded themselves into thinking that they are superheroes who enslave those who don't have superpowers (The Attilan Royal Family, though that's not that different from the original show).
A serial killer who gains the power to create magical energy blades (based on Wasabi No-Ginger.)
- The evil versions of superheroes that do not get character development will form their own Legion of Doom.

A day after she landed on Earth, she was gang-raped by super-powered human men, and she blames all humans for what happened to her (based on Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel).
Six Japanese delinquent teenagers who ran away from home gain superpowers.... and work together to get revenge on anyone who even slightly wronged them (based on Big Hero 6.)
A man who served in the US military for centuries and has a skeleton and retractable claws that are both made of a nigh-indestructible metal, a healing factor, superhuman immune system and metabolism, superhuman senses of smell, taste, touch, hearing, and sight, low-level superhuman strength, speed, durability, leap, agility, and reflexes, pain immunity, and slowed aging is brainwashed by the military and the worse part is that the brainwashing combined with this man's PTSD makes his mental health even worse, so he becomes a violent psychopath who kills anyone in his path. (AKA What if the brainwashing of Wolverine and Wolverine's PTSD mentally broke him).
A woman gains Flying Brick powers, energy projection powers, and self-sustenance because her boyfriend gained the powers first and found a device that would give her similar powers. She also served in the US Air Force and goes violently psychotic because of PTSD because of trauma from her Air Force missions and also because her boyfriend died during a clash between supervillains and superheroes, a different superhero accidentally killing him (AKA What if Carol Danvers lost her mind like the First Blood novel's John Rambo?).
A group of superpowered siblings who keep a facade of being heroic and innocent while keeping their malevolent true natures away from their parents and the public. (Power Pack).
A former US soldier with low-level superhuman strength, speed, and durability, immense superhuman agility and reflexes, low-level healing factor, immense superhuman immune system and metabolism, and slowed aging that he all gained from a super-serum goes violently insane due to PTSD. He also goes Yandere for his wife, a Sharon Carter expy who is a Badass Normal former super-spy. (AKA What if Captain America went insane due to the horrors of war?) What's even more devastating about this idea is that the Captain America expy and the Sharon Carter expy still love each other even after the Captain America expy goes violently psychotic.

- Or both Power Rangers Captain Ersatz teams can co-exist in the BrightBurn universe, after all, nothing's stopping the possibility of more that one analogue team.
- And then they get into gang wars.
A smart zombie who tries to be a superhero.... and fails miserably. He is also a comic book nerd and his main weapons of choice are two batons, two spiked batons, two wooden chair legs, pepper spray, a taser, and a jetpack (based on Kick-Ass). It will be one of the expys where it will be a horror-comedy. This smart-zombie might develop character development later on and become a hero.

A supervillain with a rugged, biker-themed gimmick, who also has superhuman strength, speed, durability, and leap fueled by lack of sleep, and worst of all is a pedo, the very last part making him one of the most EVIL villains the Brightburn Universe ever had (based on Max Damage, except he NEVER gets redemption).

In future sequels, along with good counterparts of supervillains being superheroes in the Brightburn Universe, expies of non-superhero supporting characters in superhero comics will also be superheroes in this universe. Anyone can add their own ideas for this WMG here.

This WMG is based on the deleted scene with Caitlyn.

A maid of a corrupt billionaire is repeatedly abused by said billionaire (in more ways than one), but she fights back after finding a female variation of her boss' high-tech suit. She continues to use this suit to fight crime whenever she can (Pepper Potts if she got the armor earlier, except this woman will be a superhero for a more long-term degree as opposed to temporary.)
A somewhat chubby butler who quit his job after discovering that his boss is corrupt is injured by his boss because he could not handle his former butler quitting. This ex-butler ends up gaining cybernetics from his surgery to treat his injuries, and he gains cybernetic powers in the form of superhuman strength, speed, durability, leap, and lastly techopathy and technokinesis (A merge of the human Jarvis from the comics and the AI Jarvis from the movie.)

A blonde woman of science, a brunette female secretary, and a redhead actress who moonlights as a supermodel were all victims of rape by a spider-powered super-villain. The female scientist creates gadgets in order to help her, the secretary, and the actress/supermodel fight back against their rapist as well as fight back against other super-villains (Gwen Stacy, Betty Brant, and Mary Jane Watson, if they were rape victims and later on the Gwen Stacy expy invents devices to fight back against the monster who committed the rapes.)
A sassy female reporter who also became aware of Brandon's rampage desperately finds items to stop Brandon. This causes her to find a magical amulet that grants her superhuman strength and durability. She discovers that magic is another one of Brandon's weaknesses (Lois Lane with super-strength and durability.)
A heroic police commissioner who gains the power to summon whatever angelic weapon he needs thanks to his mystical holy-powered trench-coat (Commissioner Gordon with the main difference being that he has a magical item).
An elderly butler and former MI6 agent and military field medic has the magical power to heal others through touch. Even something as simple as a mere accidental bump can heal people. He uses his skills to help heal people into fighting shape to combat the supervillains. He got this power from a scroll he found during a WWII mission (Alfred Pennyworth, with the only difference being that he has the healing powers of a Monk/Paladin from D&D.)
A still-heroic WWII veteran that is given a special formula that makes him literally ageless, making him effectively immortal in terms of lifespan. He uses his immortality to his advantage when fighting crime while wearing his WWII American soldier uniform. (Nick Fury, except he's a superhero instead of a supporting character).
The Black son of that same WWII veteran inherits his father's immortality and he goes on his own superhero adventures (Nick Fury Jr., except as a superhero instead of a supporting character).
A still-heroic 30 year old brunette female super-spy who still looks like she is in her early 20's thanks to exercise and healthy eating and who works for a benevolent government organization that combats the super-villains among other violent threats is given a formula that enhances her strength, speed, durability, stamina, agility, balance, dexterity and her senses of smell, hearing, sight, touch, and taste to superhuman levels and also grants her a healing factor and slows down her aging.
- She still chooses to be a hero after the mutually-voluntary procedure to grant her her newfound powers, and uses her aforementioned powers in conjunction with her skills, abilities, and her equipment from her spy days in order to continue the fight against the super-villains. (AKA what if the comic book version of Maria Hill gained an even more powerful version of the super-soldier serum and did not turn suddenly turn against other heroes like she did in the comic book version of Civil War?).
A female WWII-era spy who gains immortality after some magical artifact blows up in her face and in the 21st century she fights crime while wearing a businesswoman's suit (AKA what if Peggy Carter found immortality?).
A grandpa of two super-powered kids with alien powers who turn evil gets an alien device that allows him to turn into superhuman aliens and use their powers. He uses this device to combat his sinister grandchildren (AKA What if Grandpa Max gained superpowers?).

A black policeman who opposes both police corruption and the supervillains. This same black policeman gains the power to summon the ghosts of this dead brothers in arms, and he also uses this power to oppose his aforementioned villainous enemies (AKA What if Marcus Williams from the Kick-Ass series gets the power to summon ghosts?).
A blonde woman who is a journalist and computer expert and owns a wall filled with reports of paranormal events gains technopathy and she uses her power and her skills to fight against the supervillains (What if Chloe Sullivan gained technopathy?).
An 18-year-old Asian-American woman, who's clown-themed superhero boyfriend was murdered by a gang of supervillains, gains spell-casting from a family artifact belonging to her boyfriend's family and so she uses those powers to combat the supervillains, mainly to avenge her boyfriend (What if Dana Tan gained magical powers, Terry McGinnis was a heroic version of Joker and was murdered by Brightburn Universe supervillains, and Dana Tan took matters into her own hands, gained magical powers and used that magic to avenge Terry?).
An aunt whose superhero nephews with nanite-based superpowers were murdered by the supervillains, so she takes the nanites which grant her her own power-set and she uses these nanite-based powers to combat the supervillains (AKA What if Aunt Cass gained nanite-based superhuman abilities?).
A formerly corrupt cop feels remorse for what he did, so a spirit gives him (the cop) the chance to atone for his violent crimes by granting this cop the powers of superhuman strength, speed, durability, leap, agility, and reflexes, superhuman immune system and metabolism, and immortality and he uses his powers and skills in order to combat both the supervillains and irredeemably corrupt cops (AKA What if Harvey Bullock was granted magical powers by a benevolent spirit?).
A popular high-school girl finds out about supervillains murdering her friends and her boyfriends, so she dresses up as a female superhero one of her deceased boyfriends idolized, finds a mystical artifact that grants her superhuman speed and telekinesis, and uses her powers to take down as much supervillains as she can to avenge her friends and boyfriends (What if Katie Deauxma gained superpowers?).
A lieutenant in the LAPD is horrified by the rampage the supervillains are causing, so he desperately injects himself with an experimental formula that was in the evidence room that grants him superhuman strength, speed, durability, and leap that gets stronger the less he sleeps. He uses his skills and newfound powers to combat the supervillains (AKA What if Lieutenant Armadale from Incorruptible was an Ideal Hero and gained what are basically Max Damage's powers?).
