Line 80:
* ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' originally was going to have Jimmy dying in the first episode and ending up in Miseryville thanks to [[Celestial Bureaucracy|an administrative error]]. The fact that Jimmy was [[Dead to Begin With]] would allow him to do some pretty crazy things, like unscrew the top of his head and pull bones out of his body. Also, Heloise was originally going to be a [[Serial Killer]] arranged by Lucius to make Jimmy miserable, but she ended up falling in love with him instead.
* Originally, the titular hero of [[Ben 10]] would have transformed into HUMAN superheroes, with the show seeming to be more inspired by ''[[Dial H for Hero]]''. Ben's first design had him as a freckled redhead as well. Gwen was originally going to be a classmate that he didn't get along with (this was probably changed because then it made no sense why she was on vacation with him), and she appeared in earlier concept art with a long ponytail and a pink shirt.
* The writers for ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' had some [https://web.archive.org/web/20160404092712/http://www.joeheadquarters.com/interviews_dixon.shtml intriguing plans] that never materialized, mostly due to [[Executive Meddling]]—some of it understandable, some of it downright mind-boggling. The most notable is probably the original movie idea, "The Most Dangerous Man in the World", which would have offered a very different spin on Cobra's origins.
** Specifically, "The Most Dangerous Man in the World" would have started with Cobra suspending all other schemes for a worldwide manhunt for a single man, and the Joes investigating the reason for this abrupt shift. The Joes would eventually find the subject, who would be revealed as a ''political science professor'' who invented the socio-political system that Cobra was based on. The professor was planning to publish a paper documenting a newly-discovered fatal flaw with the system; Cobra wanted to eliminate him to keep the weakness hidden. The entire storyline was scrapped when Hasbro [[Executive Meddling|insisted on including Serpentor in the movie and cartoon.]]
* [[Static Shock|Static]] was supposed to join the [[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]] but this was scrapped due to the latter airing far later than originally planned.
