Excel Excel, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In the anime Excel Saga they'd have to actually kill off the power leach of an afro director... they she would function far, far better.  Luck with that.
If its manga Excel... the real issue is that Excel generates a field or something that makes you think you already told her vital info, and therefore completely ignore ever mentioning it again around Excel.  Thus Nick Fury would be requiring repeated trips to the dentist for caps as he keeps finding out that no one bothered to give her the mission briefing... yet again.  What she got was vague babble about changing the world and stuff.  She'd keep going on missions and somehow completing them despite having little to no idea what just happened.  Though it likely includes some random clashing conspiracies and explosions.  So she'd actually be a really useful agent... only she'd be happy she completed some vaguely defined goal and the people stuck explaining what just happened would be in for hell.

Actually, our man Fury is pretty used to supers by now.  Eventually he'd figure it out - and then he'd know exactly how to use her.  Send her into the situations where you know something's going on, but don't have any solid data.  After all, if no one's going to tell her *anyway*...

Ranma 1/2 and Gor.

...well, looking for a bright side, that would at least have the potential to warp Gor's gender-role system back towards a less twisted shape...

(My brother claims he's actually seen a crossover of those two sources, by an author whose name he doesn't remember but whose primary subject matter is "extreme latex fetish". I'm not particularly interested in trying to track it down...)

Noir and Triangle Hearts. The ultimate assassin and the ultimate bodyguard. Just DON'T get the family involved.

Sirroco, I know Fury would catch on after a mission or three... what would drive him nuts is that people in his organization are suddenly and inexplicably going temporarily incompetent for no adequately explained reason.

That Excel has a mind warping 'superpower' isn't an adequate explanation?  They do have ways to test for the presence of powers, or am I getting mixed up with something else?  Been a while since I've read Marvel.

In the aftermath of Third Impact, Shinji and Asuka find themselves running for their lives as things emerge from the Sea of LCL -- not human returnees, but projections of the collective that take the form and personality of monsters, spirits, and gods from every culture.  These new "Angels" have their own strange plans for the ruined world -- plans that don't include the last two physical humans.
Their only hope: the final legacy of NERV... devices that let them synchronize with these creatures, bargain with them, turn them against one another... all thanks to the "Angel Summoning Program."

SCM sort of indirectly gave me this idea.

Huh? I don't get it...

Well, that would explain how she can do the subspace thing... she either learned from one of them, or she's not human either...

It could be worse.

It could be what I once misread Ramona's name as.

Scott Pilgrim vs Ranma's evil exes.

Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.

So, how did you misread "Ramona" as "Ramna"?

I can see misreading "Ramona" as "Romana"... and Scott Pilgrim thus is trying to date a Time Lord...

In another direction entirely, I want to do something with Scott Pilgrim and the Beverly Cleary book "Ramona and Beezus", but I all I know about that book is its title, so I'm not getting very far.

Yep. I feel pretty confident that if fights in the Nanohaverse were done with danmaku, Nanoha would be the one to invent the Master Spark. (Which is to say, the simple and completely unsubtle beam of annihilation. Especially with lines like "unleash your annihiliation of love!")

Of course, there'd be a running joke with another of her spell cards...

Raising Heart: Perverse Love ?Sure-Fire Master Spark?
Fate/Vita/etc: What love!?

(Joke stolen from here.)

Of course, that comes to an end when, sometime after the end of StrikerS...

Vivio: Nanoha-mama, what's a "perverse love"?

... I'm sure there's any *number* of amusing ways that could play out.

Quote:In another direction entirely, I want to do something with Scott Pilgrim and the Beverly Cleary book "Ramona and Beezus", but I all I know about that book is its title, so I'm not getting very far.

All I know is, whenever I see the title, my mind translates 'Beezus' to 'Bejeezus'. '.'

Edited: So things that aren't supposed to be bold won't be.

-Morgan. And then my mind translates that to "Jebefusus".

Oh, and Ginny is played by "Ranko".
