Working on some more superhero ideas:
I've come up a twist on the DCU and a twist on the Marvel Universe.
The first thing for the DC Universe is that Batman becomes the model of heroes, as opposed to Superman. This creates a darker-edged feel to the universe, and Raven's arrival in 1980 in Metropolis causes her to meet up with a Kryptonian named Clark Kent. He discusses with her some issues about heroism, and the two decide to team up to kick the crap out of Trigon, followed by becoming Superman and Supergirl. This, rather than the Mainstream DCverse's idea of a war between the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor helps spark a massive interdimensional war when this version of the DCU attracts the attention of a Kryptonian version of the Draka, of S. M. Stirling fame.
As for the Marvel Universe, this deals with the question of "What if Satana rejects Satan's teachings...but Damien Hellstrom keeps them?" Satana comes to the Marvel Universe in 1982, upon the death of Yuri Andropov, General Secretary, CPSU. She gathers a group called the Young Avengers and they end up getting drawn into a series of adventures against an alternate version of the Mandarin, the High Evolutionary, the Acolytes and Magneto, and ultimately are drawn into dangerous games with another character who is part of my interconnected multiverse, Ravcel Kerigstophros of the Greater Bizjarran Empire, prior to her Shades of Grey adventure.
