Morbius should not have been on the list. That was a pretty good comic and take on the character.

I got no problems with the rest.

Wasn't "evil Tony Stark is replaced by teen Tony Stark from an alternate universe" a 90s thing?

'cause that was fucking duuuuuuuuuuuuumb.

Yup. He was a Take That to fans who wanted Bruce Wayne to be more like Frank Castle.

I think it happened in an Avengers Spotlight one-shot.

Now my worst (and I couldn't find an image for this) was the young, clean-sheaven, long-haired, dark-sunglasses and robe wearing thing that was called Doctor Strange.

Um no. The mask and gritty "Strange" was far worse.

But that wasn't Dr. Strange. The Doc didn't change how he looked (other than being unshaven all the time and never wearing a shirt).

'Strange' was just one of two constructs (the other being either Stephen Vincent of Vincent Stange) that The Doc created to take care of things while he was busy. 'Strange' itself was sort of a Destroyer like thing, and though ugly, looked the part.
