Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

IO9 goes into the history of Ms Marvel. Which made me realise I only know about her starting from when she showed up in Westchester calling out Rogue for draining her powers. I had no idea about the other shit.

Who would you list as the most influential Batman artists?

I think it's interesting that Ross isn't on there.

That's a pretty good list. Has Ross done much work on Batman titles?

Not that I can remember. Also, IMO, Ross hasn't affected how other people draw Batman. He just does his own (excellent) thing, but it's not part of ongoing visual continuity.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

That's probably true of the characters whom his versions of are more iconic (like Superman and Captain Marvel) too. His painted style is so different from most comic artists that there isn't a lot of emulation going on, so far as I'm aware.
