I like making up my own Elseworlds stories - I'm sure that's not a rarity.
I think it's too bad that Wonder Woman's German Expressionist Elseworld was based on The Blue Angel rather than Alraune.
A girl named "Diana" is raised on an island in the Baltic Sea by a group of scientists who think of her as a science experiment rather than a person. She is physically and mentally extraordinary, but seemingly heartless - until, of course, her existence is discovered by Luftwaffe pilot Stefan Traeger, who awakens her capacity for love.
One of my favorite "Imaginary Elseworlds", though (one I'd REALLY enjoy actually seeing) is, "Crash Kent on the Planet Krypton" Yes, a retelling of Flash Gordon in which reporter Lois Lane and football player Clark "Crash" Kent (an ordinary Earthman in this universe) wind up accidentally flying in Doctor Luthor's rocketship (blue with red fins, of course) to the rogue planet Krypton which is on a collision course with Earth. There, they find it inhabited by a myriad of strange races, from the winged Hawkmen of the flying city to the swift-footed Flashmen of the central desert and the Aquamen of the Sea of Monsters.
It is a world ruled by the bald tyrant Dox and his many sons (although his Number Five son seems to be dubious of Dox's reign).
Crash, naturally, disapproves of Krypton's system of government, and joins the underground, but it seems there is little hope to overturn the tyrant...until Crash happens upon a legendary artifact, a green ring which glows like a tiny lantern....
Admit it, that would be a way cool Elseworld.
The Magic Eight-Ball says, "Maybe"....
