He would go on to lead a merger between nearly-fallen titans Marvel and DC, and take his place as president-king of the newly-sprung colossus. Also he builds a rocket that goes to Mars with super-models, but that's only in the alternate universe storyline.

I think that Marvel attempted to do this about 8-10 years ago. The only problem was that you had to download their program and, at least for me, it was always crashing. You didn't have a simple to use program like CDisplay where all the publishers could format their comics for. That and not to mention that Marvel only scanned a pathetically small portion of their comics. I think the best attempt at online comics thus far by a company was crossgen. If I'm not mistaken they pretty much had their entire run available on the net and it was pretty easy to access. Too bad they went bankrupt for completely unrelated reasons. And just think of the impact that this would have for collectors. Digital copies mean that there will be fewer physical copies floating around. This, in turn, means that the physical copies would become rarer and jump in price much faster. Of course the entire comic collecting industry seems to be run by those devils over at CDC, but that's a discussion for another time. Excellent article here, Brian.

Hell, I crack my legit software because I freaking hate CD juggling! The entertainment industry needs as a whole to realize that bothering their customers with something the pirate is never even going to see (because, ya know, they downloaded it cracked) is a bad idea.
