Personal Stories + Trials = Brass Monday?

I think its an interesting idea ... it would keep history in tact and allow us to play out those events.
But if they would go to go to the effort of making the Brass Monday Trial, I would want to use my own character and not the Pleistocene-era Phalanx members. Alternate history FTW!
Or ... who's to say that my hero wasn't there anyway, fighting along side the Phalanx? Hmm ...
American Dawg, Starblaze, Neanderthal Joe, Shining Dawn, Tokamak Dragon, Stinger Incarnate, Burning Tyger, Dover Tornado, Big Roach, Dark Paladin, Archmage Wylde, Kings Row Hornet, Prancing Deer
Avogadro, Science Lord
Edgar Nightcraft, Doc Cicada, Chupa Macabre, Dr Forchtenstein, Blood Shrew

I didn't want this when the DC MMO was doing this and I don't want it now. One of City of Heroes' greatest strength is its fast-and-loose setting which allows us to create characters who are uniquely our own. Throwing that away to play as other people's characters feels like missing the point.

So, I was curious about what people thought of this idea? Something you'd like to play/meh/horrible idea? |

I've been suggesting something along these lines ever since Guild Wars created their historical mission pack. I'd buy it, especially if there interesting rewards.
The Summer Blockbuster event could always be expanded in the future to include a "movie" version of Brass Monday.

If Masterminds didn't suck, they'd be the most powerful AT in the game.
I remember doing Brass Monday AE Missions, a couple of years back. I think there were 3 at that time, and 2 were pretty good.

This is completely irrelevant to the topic, but am I the only one who immediately thinks of a certain Beastie Boys song when I read the phrase, "Brass Monday?"
