That's a really good idea, but I think without Martin Goodman and Timely Comics, Stan would have pursued his dream of being a novelist without getting involved in the comics industry and consequently never inventing the Stan Lee pseudonym. Perhaps Kirby would eventually create several of the characters he created in Marvel, but Stan Lee would not have been the writer of those stories.

I have no idea why I don't know very well that publishers were active at the time other than Timely, DC, Fawcett and Charlton. Even if he probably worked with whoever grabbed him first, but knowing him he would probably be with Charlton or Fawcett, because at that time they were the ones who would be more willing to publish the kind of characters that Kirby would end up creating
What I do know is that Kirby would not have gone to DC in the 70s because he would never have left Marvel because he was fed up with Stan Lee, that means that the New Gods would never have been created and even if Kirby worked with DC from the beginning , I doubt that the New Gods were created.

I think that Charlton is the one that makes more sense of the two. Aside of what you said, Charlton also picked up Fox Comics in the 50's and given that Kirby worked for Fox in 1940 with the Charles Nicholas pseudonym as the artist of Blue Beetle, it wouldn't be weird for him to end up there.
