I'm the boss!
"I'm the boss!" is my suggestion for a game mode.
In this mode, the player assumes control of a boss and it will be his only unit. Note that this is mostly for fun/challenge.
The actual game mode can be one of the following:
1 - Survival / What have I done to you?
2 - The one who brings the End / The Lord of Destruction / Anything else that can be used for a being destroying a kingdom.
3 - There can be only one / Thunderdome / Boss arena
Note that I'm not worried about numbers and the viability of all bosses on all these modes, as the numbers are better handled by the developers (and we don't know a thing about boss power) and static bosses (if they exist at all), for example, could not work very well in some modes, so assume we are talking about the 'usable' bosses. Plus there could be bosses made for fun in these games, say a giant 4x4 squares Peasant named Bob, armed with the fork of Annihilation 
1) Survival: This game mode is very simple (or not). The player faces waves of heroes/creatures that become stronger and can even be something outside the normal game scope, like facing 10 champions of each faction at the same time.
2) The one who brings the End: In this one, the player can possibly play walking through the adventure map, just like a hero, devastating a kingdom, one castle at a time. There could be time limit rules, as well as desperate heroes trying to save their land and who knows what other kind of obstacles.
3) There can be only one: Probably the most straight forward, this is a duel mode. But with bosses  . There could even be one 'Championship' mode, for fighting with the pc and/or friends to settle who's the boss (I know, I can't resist the bad jokes).
So, any comments, ranging from "that's just plain stupid" to "hey, what if [add another game mode suggestion]"? Am I the only one who think this could be fun? Did someone already posted a suggestion like that and I'm blind?

All I can say in response to these three game types is:
"WANT!"
I've already said before:
If modding will be as strong as they are insinuating it will be, Bosses are going to add a LOT of interesting elements for map makers to play with.
These are just the first of many great ideas on how we could use Bosses in user generated content.

Love it! That boss could possibly be upgraded with different abilities based on quests, bringing it even closer to an RPG. Should be a lot of fun.

What about some other modes within "I'm the Boss!"
1)"Nemesis"-in this mode the boss makes a single duel a custom hero that has an army with units/artifacts especially made for fighting that boss(so the hero that fights Namtaru will have the shield wich disables Namtaru's damage reduction aura.
2)"Mirror Boss"-if on "There can be only one" the boss battles another boss,this time it will battle himself.

"Armageddon mode": You have a Hero (custom might class: Dark Overlord or custom magic class: Doom Arcanist) and up to four bosses simultaneously and must fight through giant armies and lay siege to extremely powerful castles guarded by level 30+ heroes.
You're the megalomaniac, and you've summoned your ancient power from beyond, now you and your mightiest minions must execute the last phase in your plan for world domination!

Now if we can get some way to store map data settings, we could copy and paste this kind of gameplay into RMG maps, that would be pretty sweet.
Warcraft III had that, made certain custom designed game types very easy to transplant onto different maps without having to re-trigger everything.
