If you can recall back to Mister Rictus' take over in Wanted, you will remember that right after he killed The Dollmaster, he killed a young boy's parents. After killing both the mother and father, some unamed villian with a crossbow says "What about the kid?". And being the pure evil monster that he is, he replies "Leave him. With any luck, he'll spend the next eighteen years training himself to avenge these idiots and give me someone interesting to fight when I'm an old man". 
Am I the only one that think that is an awesome opp for a spin-off? I know heaps of traditionalists will get annoyed with me because Wanted dosent need a follow up, but still, it would be pretty cool. How awesome would it be if the kid did train up, and he lead all of the superheroes from the parallel universes to fight back against Wesley? What if the heros reclaimed their title, and they were no longer memories of the past?
Basically, I fell asleep on the train, and I came up with this on the long walk back home. I probably shouldnt be messing with Mark Millar's brilliant work, but I reckon it would be cool.
That kid from wanted.
