Why It Might Happen: ABC committed to a Marvel-led Punisher series, but eventually passed on Criminal Minds writer/producer Ed Bernero's pilot.
The character might seem a bit too bleak for Whedon's sensibilities, but Angel proved that he can do city street-based vigilante darkness with style.
And if there's one thing that The Punisher needs, it's a strong streak of tongue-in-cheek humour.
Again, if this is a project ABC are still keen to take forward, Joss' input would be extremely valuable. After all, if he can make Hulk work, he can pretty much make any character work.
Possible Problems: Of all the titles on this list, this one is the least likely. The Avengers and The Punisher have never teamed up for a reason - they are the antithesis of each other.
Still, the skull t-shirt-wearing Punisher geeks in the office would be prepared to swap their comic-collections to see Joss make this. We're just putting that out there.

I'm getting a bit sick of this Whedon fellow. What has he done lately that hasn't already been done by Homer Simpson?

There's a fantastic Marvel show begging to made - Damage Control. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damage_Control_(comics) The daily exploits of poor working shmoes tasked with cleaning up the damage done by raging super-battles... with hilarious consequences!

Civil War will more likely be featured in the next Avengers Movie with a cliffhanger for Avengers 3.
