Fire and The Human Torch

 

Now that Johnny Storm is officially in the MCU, we really need to see him and Spider-Man alongside each other.  They have a great relationship in the comics, and it would be fun to see that brought to the big screen.  The only thing I want to see more out of the cinematic Fantastic Four is of course a Thing/Hulk battle.

Fantastic Four Vs. Starro

 

It's too bad we never saw Starro the Conquerer on the Saturday morning cartoons back in the day. I think he would have fit right in in The Super-Friends.  

The FF first faced Starro way back in STF #278...

The Super Friends Vs. Doctor Doom

There was a lot of hoopla a few weeks back with the release of four teaser trailers for Avengers: Doomsday.  I thought that they were fine, if a bit premature for a film almost a year away from hitting the theaters.  They didn't reveal much that anyone who follows movie news didn't know about already, but I guess the purpose they served was to get the conversation rolling for general audiences who don't pay as much attention.  I think that marketing will stay quiet for a while and really ramp up in half a year or so from now.  

Doctor Doom confronted the Legion of Doom back in STF #4171...

Katana Vs. Darth Maul

 

I'm not sure how Tatsu Yamashiro found her way to a galaxy far, far away - but now that's she's here, who wins this battle?  They've both got the skills to wield their unique swords, so it would be close!

Black Goliath and Robin

 

Alas, there was no mention of  Bill Foster when The Ghost returned in Thunderbolts.  I haven't heard that Laurence Fishburne is in the cast for Avengers: Doomsday.  Is there a chance he will appear in Avengers Secret Wars?  Or will we have to wait for the inevitable MCU reboot where perhaps a younger actor will take over the role?

Bloodstone Vs. Swamp Thing

 

I haven't read much of Bloodstone, but I know he would track down all kinds of creatures.  I can see him setting his sights on a transformed Alec Holland.

Aquaman and Captain America in "When War Comes Ashore!"

 

This Golden Age team up is long overdue.  A lighthouse haunted by Nazis seems like just the kind of case that would bring these heroes together.  Aquaman and Cap shared a Bronze Age adventure in STF #3436...

The Flash and Monkeyman & O'Brien

 

Apes and comic books have been intertwined for as long as I can remember.  For my money, nobody illustrates primate action better than Art Adams.  That's just one reason that his Monkeyman & O'Brien stories are such a fun read.

Captain Marvel and King Kong

 

CGI is the special effects language of movies these days, but classics like the original King Kong and The Adventures of Captain Marvel boasted some very impressive practical effects for their time.  I'm sure young audiences thrilled to the wonders before them.  The only thing cooler would have been to combine the two properties.

Hellcat and Cheetah

 

Cheetah has had a bunch of different appearances over the years, from a woman in a cat suit to full on woman/cat hybrids.  I think this George Perez design from his 80's Wonder Woman reboot is my favorite version.

Two-Face and The In-Betweener

 

I had to come up with a fitting pairing for STF #5050, and my favorite villain Two-Face was a natural fit.  I noticed that The In-Betweener had a similar fashion sense and the cover came together from there.

Stupendous Man Vs. The Punisher

 

Well, this would be a battle for the ages.  Let's hope Calvin takes it easy on Frank.

Stripesy and Dum Dum Dugan in: "Dr. Monstro's Onion Men!"

 

I thought it was time to bring back the greatest redhead brother team of Earth-STF.  Regular visitors will remember that these two were first revealed as siblings in STF #3241...

Legion of Super-Pets and Cosmo

 This would be an enjoyable battle to see.  The High Evolutionary is one of the more vile villains out there, and it would be fitting to see his comeuppance delivered by a team of animal heroes.

Power Girl and Power Rangers

 

Sure, there's a new Supergirl movie coming out soon, and Milly Alcock is a talented actress - but I think a lot of comic fans are wondering when Power Girl is going to make her live action debut.  I mean, Sydney Sweeney is sitting right there, perfect for the role!

Catwoman Vs. Daredevil in: "Hostile Witness!"

 

Catwoman and Daredevil previously met on the blog in STF #2311, and I thought that it was time to get them together again.  Being able to use the amazing artwork of Tim Sale only made it more fun to put together.

The Falcon Vs. Deathstroke in: "The Wilson War Rages On!"

 

These two first battled in STF #3976..., and I thought that it was time for a rematch. It looks like this time there might be a greater for for both of them to battle together.  It might be interesting to see them forced to work together.

Batman and the Outsiders and Power Pack

 

Two great 80's teams, together at last.  I'm not sure if their current predicament is that cause of Kobra or The Serpent Crown, but it would be interesting to find out.

Big Barda and Dart

 

With this adventure, Barda has finally completed her new team.  I did see at least one correct guess in the comments, congratulations!  Regular visitors will remember that she recruited Xena in STF #5011, Hellcat in STF #4964 and Red Sonja in STF #4881. Now all that remains is for the New Furies to assemble together.

Metal Men and The Angel

 

I thought for this cover, I would share where the character images came from.  As you can see, there was a bit of patchwork and rearranging required to get to the cover scene that I had envisioned.
