How would you feel if Riot did a crossover champ?

I had a dream I was scrolling through some gaming news online (such a riveting dream, I know) when I rolled up to an article that said, "Riot and Marvel make a deal. Meet League of Legend's new champion, Yondu!". At first I thought it was really strange and I felt really apprehensive about it, but after clicking the link and watching the summoner spotlight the idea kinda grew on me and I became okay with it. Especially when he said, "My crew ain't never tasted Runeterran before!" When I woke up however, I was admittedly a little bummed.

How would you feel if League of Legends had a crossover champion like this? What character or franchise do you think would blend in well to the League of Legends atmosphere?

In before the numerous, "This would be a horrible idea." comments start flooding in. It's just a fun hypothetical discussion. XD

Assuming all the legal stuff could be worked out, It would probably be a lot easier to find existing LoL champions and design skins for them based on certain super heroes. Then the question is, which champ is most like which super hero such that their playstyle would be recognizable as that superhero from the comics/movies. For example, a Camille skin of Spiderman could capture how he jumps from walls and such. Or a Hulk skin for Mundo.

I don't like the idea of Riot taking other ideas and just placing them into Runeterra. One of the reasons I love Riot so much is that they work so hard on everything they do (well... mostly, Mr. Aatrox...) and make their characters seem like they fit and belong in their world. It just seems unnatural.
