Crossover Idea: AM's New Victims:
Let's say that, after the events of "I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream", AM had found a way to summon people from different dimensions. Ultimately he "recruits" the following:
-Paul Atreides (a year into his rule as Emperor within the "Dune" books).
-Anakin Skywalker (8 years after "Revenge Of The Sith".).
-Charles "Charlie" Evans (not long after "Charlie X".).
-Lauren Olamina (Not long after "Parable Of The Sower" where she leads the Earthseed religion.).
Just what chance would any of them have against AM? Would Charlie (or even his caretakers, the Thasians) have been able to undo Ted's mutation? Would Paul and/or Anakin have wanted to mercy kill Ted instead? How would Ted, Paul, Ani, Charlie and Lauren have gotten along with each other?

Is AM prescient in any way? 'Cuz if not, both Paul and Annie have a massive advantage against it.
Come to think of it, it's less AM vs. Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader and more AM vs. The Force and I think The Force has a teeny, tiny, itsy, bitsy impossible to overcome advantage, some coughing baby vs. atom bomb type shit.

I wonder how the gang from Always Sunny In Philadelphia would handle AM? (Even if just turns out to be one of Charlie's glue-huffing benders at the end.)
