Blink and Morph are still out there, alive and running the team, right? ...right?

Why?

Most franchises are open for the interpretation of whoever decides to portray their take on the characters and their stories, thus you have an exquisite, endless source of AUs approved by canon, and you can dig in the ones that appeal to you the most.
Of course, if you are into that kind of thing.

They died in an incursion.

I prefer cartoons

AUs will almost always be attractive because they aren't explored. They are literally all potential. But once you explore that potential, most of the time you find out that there is nothing there. Example: Spider-Gwen
Hudson Ward
Australians are never appealing.

Alexander Stewart
Just to be clear, I'm referring more to fan AUs than official AUs.
Gabriel Gray
Yeah, there are some talented fans out there. For example, a few months ago when I was looking for a job, I read this really good and well-written "The Force Awakens" AU. But could they have come up with the story that they're altering in the first place?
Connor Sanders
I hope you're not another butthurt Gravity Falls fantard.
Ian Lewis
Why do you ask?
Thomas Baker
Because lately they've been coming in droves talking about AUs.

Parker's relaunch was damn good, and Marvel's handling of it broke my heart.

In no particular order
Transformers: Hearts of Steel
Marvel 1602
Spider Gwen
Injustice
Kingdom Come
Justice Guild Earth 11
Adventure Time with Fiona and Cake
TMNT: Same As It Never Was
Aaron Murphy
That's the entire allure of AU stories. Why would anyone make an AU where things are lamer or less interesting than canon?
Aiden Kelly
Got a link to that TFA one?
Brody Wright
I guess that makes sense
Alexander Flores
many fanAU's are just "hey let's make the protagonist the villain"
Brody Davis

>fanfiction
Yeah no shit an alternative universe where everyone's happy and fucking the shit out of each other with their massive dongs that don't have the limitations of regular human bodies is going to be better.
Chase Smith
Some of those can be neat

Well, it is a fairly common cartoon gag to show that something happened off-screen that's slightly more interesting than what they're actually focusing on.
Benjamin Moore
Because it's super easy to come up with an interesting AU gimmick for a one-off story. Like.... What if Batman was fighting the Inquisition in Medieval Spain?
But it's another thing entirely to try to turn a gimmick into a viable ongoing story where it doesn't turn stale really quickly. Flavor of the month novelty wears out fast, after all. Look at Spider-Gwen. Or Ultimate line. Spider-man 2099. Batman Beyond.
Julian Wilson
it's a more interesting PREMISE than the whole fucking cartoon which is 'hipsters are horrible to each other in a science fiction future that isn't explored near enough'

Injustice. Are you serious?

Perhaps Serendipity Gospels over Homestuck?
As a story, SG is pretty much boiled down to the titular character's interactions and development and how those things are effected as the larger narrative goes forward...
However, At the end of it's life Homestuck dropped pretty much all pretense of being anything other than that, and, in my opinion, executed the concept worse than the fucking fanfiction based on it...
Additionally, while SG is unfinished and abandoned, I still adamently believe where and how it was dropped made for a better conclusion than Homestuck's 'planned' ending...
