Hmmm....
Iron Man 2 came out in 2010. Green Lantern (which, admittedly, sucked) came out in 2011.
In Amalgam Comics, there is Green Lantern, who is both of them jammed together by the powers of a cosmic-level mutant named Access and metacosmic beings known only as the Brothers.
What if there was an ACU (Amalgam Comics Universe)?
Phase 1 Films (12)
Iron Lantern: When Hal Stark, veritable rock star in the world of aircraft manufacturing and technology, escapes imprisonment from the Legion of the Ten Rings terrorist group, this newly changed man shuts down his entire weapons division and dons the Iron Lantern suit he created from alien technology to fight the Highly Evolved Creature Totally Oriented on Revenge (H.E.C.T.O.R.), changing the entire world in the process.
The Incomprehensible Skulk: Bruce Banner is a man on the run. Once a brilliant scientist, radiation from his failure in recreating the 1940s Super Soldier serum changed him into the mindlessly sullen monster known as the Skulk. Dr. Strangefate's magics can return him to humanity for short periods of time; however, Thunderbolt Ross, his old government benefactor, only sees a weapon and will stop at nothing to reclaim it.
JLX Origins: Dark Claw: Having come to live with his RCMP uncle after the death of his father, Logan Wayne ends up having to flee with his first cousin, Creed H. Quinn, after criminals kill his uncle, too. The two join the Royal Canadian Army and fight together as soldiers for the next century, eventually transferring to the Royal Canadian Ari Force and becoming enrolled in Canada’s answer to the Super-Soldier program, known as Weapon X. Simultaneously the program’s greatest successes and greatest failures (for Logan has a conscience and Creed is criminally insane), the two fought alongside other superhumans in Team X. After Weapon X is finally dismantled as a result of his leaving the team disgusted by their lack of concern for life, Logan lives as a lumberjack with a woman by the name of Kayla Silverfox. General William Stryker arrives, claiming that Quinn ~ now known as the Hyena ~ has killed Kayla. Logan agrees to have adamantium attached to his skeleton so that he can defeat the Hyena, but breaks out after overhearing that Stryker wants his memory erased. He learns during the breakout that Stryker is in the service of ancient metamutant Ra’s A-Pocalypse, who wishes the destruction of all other metamutants. The movie ends with Dark Claw and Hyena teaming up to defend New Gotham City from Ra’s A-Pocalypse, Ebenezer Crane / Scarecrow, and General Stryker’s team of metamutant agents.
Iron Lantern 2: Hal Stark's ego has grown something fierce since announcing that he is Iron Lantern. Throwing lavish parties and organizing massive expos, he's living like a man with nothing to lose. But a smarmy rival, a mysterious foe with a powerful grudge, and Agent Bruce Wayne of S.H.I.E.L.D. remind him of who he is and what his legacy means.
Thorion of the New Asgods: After prideful and vain Prince Orion Thanoseidson is resurrected on Midgard (Earth) by Highfather Odin using the power of the Hammer of the Old Gods, he grows close to Dr. Jane Foster and learns compassion and humility, taking the name Thorion the Hunter. All the while his half-brother L'ok D'saad of Apokolips, schemes to conquer New Asgard for their true father, Thanoseid.
Super-Soldier: Founder of the Justice League Avengers: World War II is coming to a close, but the Nazi deep-science division HYDRA is still a problem. Clark Kent is chosen to become the Allied Powers' first-ever Super-Soldier thanks to cellular samples from an alien corpse and an infusion of solar radiation, and together with a Franco-British agent codenamed Mademoiselle Peggy and Sgt. Rock's Howling Commandos, Super-Soldier fights to save the world from the ambitions of HYDRA's insane leader, Lex Luthor / The Green Skull.
The Dark Claw: Logan Wayne is summoned to Hawai’i by the head of a tech company, whose life he saved when they were both imprisoned in a POW camp in Nagasaki in 1945. The man offers to relieve Dark Claw of the immortality which so curses the hero, transferring it into the executive’s body instead. Logan is tempted but after battling the Hyena (who had followed him to Japan on a whim), he refuses; that night, he dreams of the man’s doctor introducing something to his body. After gangsters in the service of the Hyena shoot up the executive’s funeral, Logan escapes with the man’s granddaughter (with whom he falls in love), his wounds healing more slowly than usual. The two team up with the local district attorney, Harvey Osborn, to defeat the Hyena. In the process, they discover a robotic parasite on Logan’s heart, suppressing his metamutant ability to heal; while Logan cuts himself open to remove it, they are attacked and the granddaughter taken. Logan turns to the district attorney for help, only to find that the Hyena has facilitated his transformation into a supervillain calling himself the Two-Faced Goblin. Tracking his love interest, the Dark Claw arrives just in time to witness her death at the hands of the Hyena, be captured, and be hooked up to a machine designed to remove his metamutant abilities. The Silver Samurai, a suit of electromechanical armor with energized adamantium katana reveals itself as the man who brought Logan to Japan, having faked his death in an attempt to acquire immortality. With help, Logan escapes and kills the Silver Samurai.
Man of War: After sacrificing himself to defeat Ultra-Metallo, a robot built by the Green Skull, Clark Kent wakes up to find himself in a 1940s-style hospital room. Hearing a radio broadcast of a baseball game that he attended in 1941, Kent grows suspicious, flees outside and finds himself in present-day Times Square, where Agent Bruce Wayne of S.H.I.E.L.D. informs him that he has been "asleep" for nearly 70 years. Agent Wayne proposes a mission with worldwide importance, sending Super-Soldier to investigate a starship resently discovered in the Canadian Arctic by the Green Skull's daughter, Selina Luthor (also known as Madame Cat). Clark learns much about the alien species that contributed its cells to the formula that transformed him (falling in love with Madame Cat in the process). Just in time for a fascist criminal from that species to escape from the Phantom Negative Zone and attack Super-Soldier in hopes of rebuilding his planet's population and building a society on his ideal of genetic purity.
Dark Claw vs. Super-Soldier: Avenging Dawn: In the aftermath of the destruction in Metropolis caused by the fascists in *Man of War*, Logan Wayne/Dark Claw grows dangerously wary of Super-Soldier despite the latter’s mid-century fame and having saved Earth, and sets out to kill him. Public opinion is also deeply split about the Man of War. Meanwhile, the sinister Green Skull conspires against both superheroes behind the scene, turning a scientist employed by him into Doctor Doomsday, who finally kills Super-Soldier.
Imperial Suicide Squad: Unscrupulous Shi’ar government official Amanda Deathbird secretly creates an expendable black ops team on Earth, Task Force X ("The Imperial Suicide Squad"), by coercing super-criminals (Deadeye, Typhoid Harley, Captain Boomerang, Diablo the Volcano Man, Cybercroc and Slipknot) into it. When she accidentally resurrects Enchanted Tigra, former lover of Thanoseid and mother of Orion/Thorion, Amanda Deathbird sends the team to deal with the threat. Meanwhile, the Hyena sets out to rescue his lover, Harley.
Freelance: Diana of Themyscira, daughter of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, grows up and trains as a warrior on the isle of Themyscira alongside her adopted sister and rival, the rescued metamutant Ororo. Upon rescuing the vengeance-driven US pilot and secret agent Trevor Castle (codenamed the Punisher) from nearly being killed by a Mafia criminal, she sets out to kill the god of war Ares on the European battlefields of World War I.
Justice League Avengers: Following the death of Super-Soldier, L'ok D'saad has returned with a vengeance and the Steppenwolf Legions in tow, declaring war on Earth with the intent to bring the powerful Tesseract to his father. To stop this threat, Agent Bruce Wayne of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Freelance assemble the greatest heroes Earth will ever have: Hal Stark / Iron Lantern, Clark Kent / Super-Soldier, Arthur McKenzie / the Aqua-Mariner, Thorion the Hunter, Bruce Banner / The Skulk, Blaze Allen / Speed Demon, Eve Romanoff / Night Widow (given powers from the Darkshade Dimension by a Soviet attempt to recreate Super-Soldier), Clint Archer / Hawkeye (who studied archery in a Tibetan monastery while creating an arsenal of high-tech trick arrows), and Aaron Stone / Cyber Man.
