What's this? An X-Men Evolution version of Romeo and Juliet?! Wow. This author must be really strange…^_^ No, but really. You'd be surprised how little I had to change the characters and basic situation to make it work. This idea just occurred to me one day and I figured, what the hey, I'll write it. Here's the cast list- that is, who equals whom in the play.
House of MontagueRomeo: Lance Alvers
Benvolio: Todd Tolensky
Brawler #1 (Balthasar): Fred J. Dukes
Brawler #2: (Abram): Tabitha Smith
House of CapuletJuliet: Kitty Pryde
Lady Capulet: Ororo Munroe
Lord Capulet: Charles Xavier
Tybalt: Evan Daniels
Nurse: Rogue
Brawler #1 (Sampson): Jean Grey
Brawler #2 (Gregory): Scott Summers
Other PeopleEscalus (Prince of Verona): Logan
Mercutio: Pietro Maximoff
Paris: Kurt Wagner
Friar Laurence: Risty Wilde, aka Mystique (don't ask)
The Apothecary: Hank McCoy
Various Other People: Various other people of the Evo cast. Probably a lot of the new
recruits will be used here.
This will be a little different from the play. That is, I'm not just copying Shakespeare's work and changing the names. I'm doing my best to put the characters in the same situation and have them react realistically, while following the same plot line. They will start quoting the Bard, but will break out into their free style personalities at many times, as well. Well, now that I've gotten both the die hard Shakespeare fans and the people who can't read two lines of his pissed off at me, I can continue. Each chapter will likely be one scene. Makes it easy to get chapters up quickly, don't you know. Well, Enjoy!
