Before I post the Best of the Best opener and the Best I can be closer to Ms. Marvel v.2, I wanted to post something ridiculous (in the good way)- Storyteller.

Storyteller is a boy called Gavin, introduced in the Binary special, who has reality creation powers. He's the product of AIM experiments. Originally, he was limited to reading stories and then creating those stories in reality. Now, he can imagine whatever he wants.

At the end of the his first appearance, Gavin escaped from AIM and from Ms. Marvel. But, a cell of AIM is tracking him, so Ms. Marvel goes after him.

He and his friend Rich are "playing" on pirate ships in the middle of the ocean when Carol turns up. Rich tells her that Gavin always cheats to win (because he can) and that Rich just wants to go home to his family. Carol confronts Gavin and he sends her back to Manhattan. Sort of.




It's not the House of M, though Carol's status and celebrity are similar in both. (She's Captain Marvel there, for one thing).

Carol finds Rich and then Gavin turns up.









The Storyteller project is next seen in the Wa of the Marvels storyline, where AIM has a series of MODOK/Storyteller babies in jars that help Carol.

Fun Fact: A character with reality-warping powers called "the Storyteller" was originally conceived as a way to erase Spider-Man's marriage from continuity before Marvel settled on "infernal pact."
