Chuck Norris and The Spectre

 

I was sad to hear of the passing of Chuck Norris this week, he was a true legend among action stars. I hope he rests on peace - but if he wants to do some butt-kicking in the afterlife, I'm all for that as well.

Iron Man Vs. Peacemaker

 

Peacemaker Season 2 was a mixed bag for me.  While it had some great action, comedy and heart, like the first season, it also has some huge missteps.  The pacing was all over the place, and the series kind of ended on a whimper with all of the big moments in the penultimate episode.  Plus, having the first DCU follow up to the family friendly Superman feature an X-rated orgy scene was a head-scratchingly bad decision in my opinion.  The cliffhanger that the show was left on was interesting, but who knows when it will be resolved?

Mars Attacks The Borg

 


I never thought I would see a scenario where I was rooting for The Borg, but this might be one of them.  Will the Martians assimilate or Ack Ack Ack their way to victory?  It would be fun to find out!

She-Hulk Vs. Maxima

 

Apparently, Maxima will make her big screen debut in Man of Tomorrow.  I always enjoyed the character from the Superman comics and I think that it will be a fun role to play for whatever actress lands the part. Who do you think would do the part justice?

Nova Vs. The Joker

 

Oh boy, this can't end well! Still, It would have been fun to read about from the safety of my Earth Prime living room.

Steel and Doctor Doom

 

I have enjoyed tales in the past where Doctor Doom must reluctantly work with heroes like Iron Man or the Fantastic Four.  I can see this story having a similar tense dynamic.

Doc Samson and 4 Famous Co-Stars


 I'd like to be a fly on the wall for this therapy session.  Hopefully they all find some inner peace.  

Doc Samson first met Batman in one of my very first covers, an MS Paint effort from the first few days of the blog...

Iron Man 2020 and The Demon

 

I'm going to have to go back and read the Machine Man mini series that featured Arno Stark, the Iron Man of 2020.  Not only to revisit the gorgeous Barry Windsor-Smith artwork, but to see how closely the future depicted  resembles the 2020's that have actually come to pass.

The Green Hornet and Superman

 

I remember The Green Hornet showing up on Batman, and Superman appearing on I Love Lucy, a couple of great early crossovers.  I think that an episode like this would have been pretty cool to have seen as well!

Huntress and Hawkeye (Vs. Mr. Universe!)

 

for the 14th appearance of the Hawkeye/Huntress siblings, I thought that I would put them up against STF's recurring villain, Mr. Universe!  It looks like family drama will play a role in this confrontation as well, let's hope Hawkeye has packed some great trick arrows in his quiver.

New Mutants Vs. Darkseid

 

Looks like the New Mutants are in a tough spot.  It's too bad they didn't bring Magma along with them, she would have been a big help in this locale!

The Flash and Machine Man

 

Now even The Flash's job is being taken over by AI?  I hope that souped up skateboard is fast enough to match his pace!

Star Trek and Batman & The Outsiders

 


Is Halo appearing anywhere these days? I've always thought that she was criminally underused.  One reason might be her convoluted backstory.  Hopefully DC will realize her potential one of these days.

The Atom and The Thing

 


Al Pratt seems to have a similar personality to Ben Grimm, and I think that they would get along.  That is, unless they were manipulated into battle by a creep like The Wizard!

Stingray Vs. Black Manta in: "Wake The Death Dealer!"

 

Well, it's no wonder that these two keep finding themselves at odds!  Their head-concealing get ups really don't allow for much in the way of facial cues, so I have to imagine that leads to a lot of misunderstanding.

Stingray first battled Black Manta in STF #3452...

Wonder Woman and Isis

 

These two heroines inspired lots of girls and were the first crushes of a lot of boys, so I think that a crossover like this would have been a big hit back in the day.  It's too bad the Wonder Woman TV show never featured any of her comic book villains, and this would have been an opportunity to change that.

Black Panther and Sgt. Rock

 

I liked the brief flashback scene we got of T'Chaka fully suited up in the first Black Panther movie, and it would have been cool to see more of him in action.  Something tells me that he and Sgt. Rock would have a grudging respect for one another.

Captain America and Catwoman in: "Hydra Heist!"

 

Cap and Catwoman first met in a back up tale in STF #2100, and I thought that this pairing deserves their own full length issue - especially if it could have featured the amazing artwork of the legendary Ramona Fradon!

Grape Ape Vs. Godzilla

 


This cover comes about as the result of a suggestion from Tom Brennan, a Patron of this blog.  I have to say that I surprised that this was never a real thing back in the day.  Well, better late than never! Thanks, Tom!

Tintin and Iron Man

 

Sure, it's one of the earlier models, but who wouldn't want to spend some time in an Iron Man suit?  I'm sure Tintin has a good reason for needing one.
