Marvel 1602
I picked this up during Comixology's Black Friday sale in late 2018, intrigued somewhat by the premise: basically, transplanting 'modern' Marvel superheroes to the year 1602.
We thus have no Superhero costumes, but do have characters such as Peter Parker, Dr Strange, Magneto, Professor Xavier, Daredevil, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Black Widow, Nick Fury, etc all the same, yet subtly different - it just goes to show, really, how these characters are all archetypes!
I must admit, though, that (while the clues were there), I didn't see the identity of one character in particular coming until it was revealed in the final book of the series.
