Black Panther and The Flash

 

I always like team ups in which the heroes would swap villains.  I thought it was time to present another one of those here.  Something tells me that Kraven and The Trickster have bitten off a bit more than they can chew here, however!

Jonah Hex in The Wild Wild West

 

This is a suggestion that comes from not one, but two Patrons of this Blog - Jeff O'Hare and Ivan Shablotski.  I never caught the series back in the day, but from what I know about it, Jonah Hex would have been an interesting addition.  I can only imagine what he would make of James West and his contraptions. 

Captain Marvel and Howard the Duck

Captain Marvel is no stranger to talking animals as allies, and has his own roster of bizarre villains, so a team up with Howard The Duck wouldn't seem all that out of place for him.  I think that a writer could have a lot of fun telling this tale.

 

Bugs Bunny and The Lord of the Rings

 

Bugs Bunny dug his way into a lot of interesting locales in the cartoons that I watched and enjoyed as a kid.  It might have been fun to see him find himself smack dab in the middle of of Tolkein's world. Sauron wouldn't know what hit him.

Moon Knight Vs. Solomon Grundy

 

Moon Knight is no stranger to battling supernatural adversaries, so this match up seems right up his alley to me.  Who comes out as the victor here?  I guess it all depends on what incarnation of Grundy we are dealing with.

Velma and Marcie in The House of Mystery

 

When Marc Tyler Nobleman, comics' historian and Patron of this blog, suggested a Velma and Marcie pairing on this blog, I knew just where I would set a tale featuring them.  Thanks for the inspiration, Marc!

Starfire and Doc Samson

 

Can even Dr. Leonard Samson help these battling Tamaranians find some common ground, or would he just get caught up in their ongoing feud? I don't know, but it would be fun to read about!

Justice League of America and Captain America

 

Captain America first encountered the JLA way back in STF #250..., an early MS Paint effort.  It looks like his investigation there took a dark turn, leading to this long-overdue sequel!

Katana and Iron Fist in "The Sacred Temple!"

 

Katana and Iron Fist have fought together before on the blog.  They battled Davos in STF #1997, and first the killers of K'un L'un in STF #3104. This time, they seem to have run afoul of the Foreground Sword Guys!

Doctor Fate and Conan

 

I was more a fan of traditional superhero fare than I was of sword and sandals epics like Conan.  Still, his stories seemed to attract some of the greatest artists in the industry.  That was enough for me to want to check out an adventure here and there. John Buscema and others truly created some gorgeous artwork when contributing to the genre.

Batman Vs. The Green Goblin in: "Breaking the Vow!"

 

Norman Osborne enjoys going after a hero mentally as well as physically, so I can see him pulling out all the stops to mess with Brice Wayne's head.  Batman first faced off against The Green Goblin on an MS Paint B&B cover way back in 2011...

Fantastic Four and Amanda Waller

 

This is an example of where I had an image to use, but the printing quality on it was low. In those cases, I have to "recolor" through use of the clone stamp tool.  It can be time consuming, but it is a necessary step for a cohesive cover.  Wouldn't you know it, for this particular splash page, I did find a nice crisp clear image of it just a couple of days after I had completed the cover!  I could have saved myself a lot of time if I had found that sooner!  Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:

Captain Marvel and Firestorm (Vs. Mr. Universe!)

 

It looks like STF's arch-villain Mr. Universe is back for his 6th appearance - and this time he's gone after a couple of heavy hitters! Mar-Vell first met Firestorm in STF #2747...

There was a lot of tweaking required with this cover - Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:

Elongated Man and Stingray

I loved when some of my favorite C-list heroes got the spotlight, so a team up like this that featured two of them would have jumped right off of the racks for me.  Let's hear it for the unsung heroes of our youth!

Blackhawk and Indiana Jones

 

The Blackhawks are a DC team that I was not expecting to ever show up in live action.  The Sgt. Rock movie plans seem to me very much underway, however.  I've been hoping that such a project would include other classic DC Comics war stars.  Maybe those heroic pilots have a chance of appearing after all.

Swamp Thing and The Lizard

 

I can see Dr. Curt Connors building a base of operations smack dab in the middle of Swamp Thing's stomping grounds, and that would be enough of a set up to get a fun story rolling.  

X-Factor Vs. The Outsiders

 

This is the First time that The Outsiders have met X-Factor, but as the X-Men, these groups have a bit of history on the blog - The Outsiders first tried to tame The Phoenix in STF #3454 and first met her in STF #112, and the one hero able to withstand The Phoenix Force was revealed in STF #2526... The X-Men came to The Outsiders assistance in STF #2595... and both teams had an adventure at The Statue of Liberty in STF #2675...

Kolchak the Night Stalker Vs. Mephisto

 

Kolchak has faced off against all kinds of paranormal creatures, but he may have finally met his match this time around.  Let's hope his years of investigation have prepared him to deal with such an epic encounter.

Ghost Rider Vs. Skeletor (Round Two!)

 

These two first clashed in STF #2959, and I thought that is would be fun to revisit this rivalry. I'm not sure what I think about Jared Leto as Skeletor in the upcoming Masters of the Universe movie. He is a talented actor, but I did not care for his take on The Joker.  Hopefully his interpretation of this villain is more well received.

The Phoenix in The DC Universe

 It looks like The Phoenix is on much better terms with the Justice League, as they have a bit of history on the blog.  She descended upon the JLA Satellite in STF #1791, and was resurrected by them in STF #409.  She also attacked the JLA in STF #1626 and they certainly weren't saying "Bwa-ha-ha" in STF #229.  She even gave them a hard time as innocent young Jean Grey back in STF #699...
