Yuck, but very interesting! Lol! Thor dying..yet as I stated Loki would have to be involved! Nice, but a little ambitious for Conan. The same for Conan beating Cap, but maybe that's me.
If Cap had anything on Conan it's the will and spirit of perseverence! Conan epitomizes what one can do when his will is forged by hardship. But Cap has already come from here and further forged his will in the fires of righteousness. When all others give up hope and all others doubt, Cap has hope and gives hope to others! As Thor said, "I will follow this man through the gates of Hades." An honor few, if any mortals receive! And as the majority of heroes in Secret Wars along with Xavier established that Cap was the best to lead due to his heart & strength of character!
