Without Otto giving him protection, he'd probably get captured. Either that, or wherever he flees to would not support him the same way.

Berengar can be wanting to support it all he wants, but if he has no ability to support it, then he's useless.

Yes, pretty much any scenario.

Only Oberto or Arduin would have any shot of those listed. One of the the two would be the most likely candidate.

Not possible to take Venice.

On some level, they all did it. Otto did it too, for that matter. Hugh in the 940s, and Berengar in the 950s.

Not impossible for them to do some colonizing, but it would be rather small. Their priorities would be elsewhere.
