"The Avengers" is smashing the box office with the power of The Incredible Hulk using Thor's mighty hammer... and it's almost guaranteed that we'll be seeing "The Avengers II," "The Avengers III," "The Avenger IV" and more -- not to mention the inevitable "reboot" once the franchise starts to wear thin.
But could one of those reboots feature a completely different take on the team of superheroes?
Joe Phillips, a comic artist who has worked for both Marvel and DC and has even inked "The Avengers" himself has envisioned some of the world's most famous superheroes as proud crime-fighting homosexuals.
"It is there," he told The Huffington Post's David Moye. "Think about it: A guy develops the ability to do something incredible and the first thing he does is to wear something tight-fitting and colorful and tell the world, 'I'm going to fight crime'?"
See "The Avengers" as you've never seen them before in my new photo collection, "Homo Heroes: Could The Gay Avengers Be the Next to the Big Screen?"

This has been a banner month for zoophilia as people accused of sex with just about every animal in the zoo are popping up in courtrooms across the nation.
One of the strangest cases involves a doctor accused of having sex with a patient.
In most cases, that would be merely unethical.
In this case, however, Thomas Barret Lyle Wilson isn't a regular doc -- he's a veterinarian, and his "patient" was a horse.
Actually, it was a horse in a training center, and the owners allegedly caught him in the act by watching a live video feed.
"I'm glad you caught me. I need help," he said, according to an affidavit quoted by the The Daily O'Collegian.
But 28-year-old Wilson isn't the only one making headlines for bestiality. There's a cop accused of doing it with calves... a mayor's sun who's "into" German shepherds and even a guy with an affinity for rottweilers.
I won't even pet a rottweiler.
See them all in my new gallery, Bestiality Crime Wave.

Talk about a memorable mug shot.
Forget "WWJD," this woman went straight to the top with her tattoo -- in every sense of the word by putting "GOD" smack dab in the middle of her forehead.
Police in Ohio say this woman -- 33-year-old Jamie Calloway -- has been stalking a female corrections officer she met during a (you guessed it) previous jail stint.
Calloway is accused of slashing the woman's tires, called her at home and sending her packages, according to The Smoking Gun.
Get a better look at her and meet some of the week's other memorable criminals -- including a man with a creative excuse for speeding -- in This Week in Weird Crime.

What would lead to a normally mild-mannered bear of very little brain to be found lifeless, with a noose around his neck?
I say it's Pooh-icide.
Sounds horrible -- and it is -- but that's exactly how visitors to the new exhibition "Broken Heroes" encounter Winnie the Pooh.
The brainchild of 49-year-old German/Chilean artist Patricia Waller, "Broken Heroes" has iconic figures of childhood such as Pooh, Ernie from "Sesame Street," Hello Kitty and more made of yarn and meeting tragic and even harrowing ends.
Get an up-close look at them in part two of my new photo feature, "Broken Heroes."
And while you're at it, be sure to see part one -- featuring Superman, Spider-Man, Sponge Bob Squarepants and more.
