Brian Epstein:
A while ago, I came up with a mini-series called Champions of the World, which depicted the members of Queen as DC heroes. Some time later, I thought of possibly expanding this universe to include other musicians. This is a list of who fills which roles--and any reasoning I may have--organized by band.

Please note this is still in progress. If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.

Love it! I absolutely love it! :D

As a fan of both DC Comics and classic rock (more specifically Queen), I can say that without a doubt that this is awesome!
