I know this is a long way off but I'd like to make a pitch for The Invaders.

It is 1937. In the Atlantic Ocean, a Nazi U-Boat is following a strange signal when it discovers Atlantis. They radio to SS Standartenführer Johann Schmidt aboard the heavy Cruiser Deutschland.

Roll Credits

Schmidt is reporting the discovery to a HYDRA meeting in Berlin, attended by Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, Baron Heinrich von Zemo and Dr Arnim Zola. They tell him to destroy it. In Atlantis, Prince Namor, who has been to the surface world unlike most Atlanteans, is arguing that Atlantis should be abandoned as HYDRA will destroy it with their advanced technology. However, Emperor Thakorr (Namor's grandfather) is a traditionalist and decides to stay and fight. Namor tells his cousin, Namora, that he has seen what HYDRA can do and that Atlantis has no chance. He leaves, while Namora quietly slips away. HYDRA attack and destroy Atlantis, killing all the Atlanteans.

Namor arrives at Norfolk, Virginia where he is apprehended by Navy personnel and tells them that he is a submariner, of sorts. A meeting is arranged between him and Colonel Chester Phillips, the head of the Army Science Division. Namor agrees to work closely with whatever results of Project Rebirth.

It is 1942. America has joined the war and the tide is turning. Jacqueline Leigh is a pilot with the Air Transport Auxiliary and is delivering a Spitfire from the factory to an RAF airbase. However, she collides in mid-air with a HYDRA stealth bomber. She manages to parachute out suffers radiation injuries and is taken to hospital. When she wakes up, she has super strength, speed, stamina, reflex, endurance and flight. Naming herself Lionheart, she is the final addition to The Invaders, a superhero team created by Phillips, now a Major General, and consisting of Namor, Namorita, Cap, Bucky, Lionheart, Union Jack and the original Human Torch.

They then run around fighting HYDRA for the rest of the film but are badly defeated in 1945 so Cap and Bucky go off in their own.

In the actual film, I'll probably include the origins of everyone bar Cap but what are everyone's thoughts on this?
