Civil War is over, if you dream it.

We interrupt Nostalgia Week for this entry from Rob's dream diary.

Last night I had a dream about how Civil War (that would be the Marvel Comics event in seven parts) could potentially end.

In my dream all of the uncaptured heroes of the Marvel Universe gather together. This includes Iron Man and all the other pro-registration heroes. It seems that Spider-Man's deflecting to the rebel team got everyone thinking and they decided to sit down and actually talk things out. They must have had some sort of debate but I don't remember any. It was all very civil and no one punched anyone else through a wall. It was very out-of-character for every superhero ever.

So a consensus was reached and a plan was hatched but I did not know what it was at that point. What I did know is that everyone was friends again and Captain America needed me, my wife and her family to build all the superteams new headquarters. This massive construction project consisted of us sticking bushes into a sandy field and propping the bushes up with small wooden boards. I think I made a puddle next to mine with a garden hose. One of the Young Avengers (probably Hawkeye) complained about the new "headquarters" but Captain America just told her to, "Shut the fuck up and learn the Goddamn meaning of respect." Captain America was a grumpy grandfather in this dream.

After the new bush bases were constructed, everyone boarded a huge robot that looked like Iron Man. It was using this robot that they would launch the attack on the real enemy: the offices of Marvel Comics. Apparently the roof of Marvel Comics' building had been transformed into a concentration camp for superheroes and the company itself was responsible for all th troubles. Among the prisoners on the roof were miscellaneous X-Men (but specifically Gambit among them) and the kids from Gen 13. The dream ended with Captain America telling Marvel Comics over a loud speaker that he was going to "fuck them up."

What could it all mean?

Sounds like a better ending that how Civil War will really end. ;)
