I recently heard about a new comic book that Marvel is producing called the Dark Avengers...its an alternate universe's Avengers where several of them, unknown to the people, are reformed villains haven taken over the guises of the Avenger heros and they are led by Harry Osborne (Green Goblin) who is a version now of Iron Man

...here's what I read

Plot
The government assigned the team's redevelopment to Norman Osborn (the reputedly reformed supervillain the Green Goblin) who had become a public hero for his role in repelling the Skrull threat. Osborn, also given leadership of the espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D., reforms that agency into H.A.M.M.E.R. and creates a new Avengers team under its aegis.

The initial line-up consists of the Sentry, Ares, Noh-Varr (now Captain Marvel), as well as disguised supervillains Moonstone (portraying Ms. Marvel), Venom (portraying Spider-Man after Norman gives him a medication that resets the symbiote to the size it was when it possesed Spider-Man originally), and Bullseye (portraying Hawkeye). Wolverine's disgruntled son Daken is recruited to dress like his father while Norman Osborn himself becomes an Iron Man-like new persona called the Iron Patriot.

I think it sounds like a good idea....you have to hand it to Marvel for constantly reinventing its creations all the time and keeping them constantly interesting
