Professor X and Racer X

 

For some reason, C-list villain Doctor Double-X has had some requests for an appearance on the blog.  The choice of heroes to face off against him seemed obvious to me.  This issue probably would not have flown off of the stands, but I think I would have been curious enough to want to read it.

Harvey Birdman and Two-Face

 

Two attorneys, both named Harvey but each operating with their own set of rules - It was only a matter of time before they crossed paths.

Doctor Strange and Batgirl

 

When I posted a cover featuring Commissioner Gordon summoning Doctor Strange a week or so ago, Ken Roskos (a Patron of this Blog) and others said that the set up called for a follow up cover.  I had to agree, so here's what had Jim Gordon so concerned.

Black Panther and Superman

 

Here's another pairing tat I have been meaning to get to for a while. It looks like they have their work cut out for them with these glowing monstrosities.

Green Arrow and Captain America in: "Batroc & The Behemoth!"

 

Following up from yesterday's Golden Age style cover, here I present a Bronze Age adventure between Cap and Ollie. It took some tinkering to remove Spider-Man from the original image - Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:

Captain America and Green Arrow in: "A High-Rise Heist!"

 

I was surprised to realize that I had gone this far without featuring a team up between these two heroes.  To make up for it, here's a Golden Age adventure - And up next tomorrow will be a Bronze Age style cover featuring them together as well.

All-Star Squadron and Woverine

 

Logan would have already been in operation when the All-Stars were formed, so it's not out of the questions that they would cross paths.  Hos healing factor would be a big help against that pesky Spear.

Giant Man and The Chalengers of the Unknown

 

The Microverse certainly fits into the category of the unknown, so it's only natural that The Challengers would be interested in exploring it.  Who better the serve as a tour guide than Hank Pym?

Beta Ray Bill and Luke Skywalker

 In a battle between Uru Hammer and Lightsaber, who do you think has the advantage?  It would be a cool confrontation so see play out, especially if an artist as dynamic as Walt Simonson were to illustrate it.

Wonder Woman Vs. Absorbing Man

 

Could Crusher Creel truly adopt the properties of Wonder Woman's magic lasso?  I think that's an interesting enough set up to build a story around.

Lando Calrissian, Tomar-Re and The Silver Surfer

 

The Mandalorian and Grogu is struggling at the box office.  I really liked the first two seasons of the Disney+ series and I thought Andor was great - but there have also been a lot of missteps since Lucas sold the company.  I'm not sure what could be done with the Star Wars franchise to turn things around at this point. If you put me in charge, I'd probably set up a scenario like the one above, so what do I know?

Doctor Strange and Commissioner Gordon

 

I can only imagine what kind of situation would cause Gordon to summon the Master of Mystic Arts for assistance.  It would certainly be fun to find out.

Doc Savage and Han Solo

 

These two are cut from a similar cloth.  They definitely have the same taste in boots.  I can see them working well together if some kind of time-storm threw them into the same adventure.

Richie Rich and Casper meet The Spectre

 

Uh oh, this looks like a dilemma that Richie won't be able to spend his way out of!  Let's hope Casper has some connections on the other side to help out!

The Fantastic Four and The Phantom Stranger

 

Haunted houses are bad enough, but a haunted Baxter Building, including Reed's Lab? That's a whole new level of trouble to deal with.

Captain Marvel and Ghost Rider

 

Now this is truly and odd couple.  A story that would find them having to work together could be very interesting.

Daredevil and Ace, The Bat-Hound

 

There was a pitch for a never produced Daredevil animated series that featured a dog sidekick, Lightning.  I think I would have enjoyed that!

This post is dedicated to my cat Ace, who passed away at the much too young age of 10 recently.  I miss him terribly.  Here are a few memories of him, casting a perfect bat-shadow and acting as my muse as I worked on this blog over the years: 

The Defenders and Captain Atom

 

A leaked final trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day have reportedly confirmed what I was hoping for.  The Savage Hulk will finally be returning to the MCU.  Smart Hulk was fun for one movie, but he never reverted back and has kind of worn out his welcome.  I'm ready for some smashing again.  Hopefully a Thing/Hulk fight will not be too far off.

Space Ghost and Iron Man

 

A rollicking tale of two heroes facing evil interstellar villains, illustrated by the amazing Steve Rude?  I know that I'd pick up a copy.

Dazzler and The Flash

 

As much as I like Andy Serkis as an actor, I was disappointed to never see a fully formed Klaw in the MCU.  I don't know how they would have gone about explaining his signature comic book appearance, but it would have been cool to see.
