"What If?" has got to be the greatest ongoing comic publication ever. It explores the ideas and imaginings that all true believers have ever had. It has lead to the next best non team specific comic as well "Exiles." I would just like to put in my 2 cents to give props to "What If" and "Exiles". I hope that others enjoy these books as much as I have.

I should note that the New Warriors in I#6 of their title walked in on Uatu observing What If worlds.

Should it be mentioned that the storyline "Avengers Forever" featured heroes from the "What if" series? Nohbohdhy (talk) 18:51, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Video Game What If

The Spider-Man video game (1999 Neversoft playstation) has a secret "What If" mode. It changes things around (mostly silly parodies), and features The Watcher. --ScarletSpiderDave 11:57, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What the

Wasn't there a "What if?" parody called something like "What the?!". If I recall correctly, that might be worth a mention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.162.146.82 (talk) 18:47, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Whatif105.jpg

Image:Whatif105.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Alterniverse

For a while Marvel referred to its alternate reality titles as "Alterniverse" in contrast to DC's Elseworlds, notably Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe. The X-Men collection "X-Men: Alterniverse Visions" also contains titles from What If. Since Alterniverse is synonymous with What If, it should be included as a section in the article.

V1#13 Conan not in Collected editions

I don't know if it is worth a mention in the article, but Collected editions does not include Volume 1 #13, which was Conan The Barbarian Walked On Earth Today. Marvel lost the rights to Conan the Barbarian to Dark Horse by 2003, by the time they were doing the collection that would have contained that issue (January 2007). That is presumably why that issue is not included, but I ain't gonna track down a citation for that. Kid Bugs (talk) 18:05, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
