As a fan of both superheroes and classic monster movies, The Creature Commandos was always a concept that appealed to me, since it kept a foot in both of those genres. I am surprised that (to my knowledge) DC never teamed them up with Sgt. Rock.
Nick Fury would later meet the Creature Commandos while in S.H.I.E.L.D. in STF #1172...
For better info, please call Transylvania 6-5000 and ask for Boris.

Ross how could you leave out the Howling Commandos?
ReplyDeleteIs this when they drafted Young Frankenstein?:-)
ReplyDeleteWill Sgt. Fury solicit (as a chemical weapons expert) Baron von FRANKINCENSE? LOL! XD!
ReplyDeleteInterestingly enough, the latest short on the most recent DC Animated Movie for Batman: Hush includes a Sgt. Rock short in which he partners with the Creature Commandos!
ReplyDelete@Martin: does that mean any Bad Guys will be caught between Rock and the Fright Faces?

Origins, if you don't know about them;
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago, Dum-Dum Dugan successfully petitioned S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury to create a specialized unit dedicated to the use of paranormal personnel.
Dubbed the Howling Commandos in homage to the famed World War II squad, the team set up shop at Area 13 and began acquiring operatives whose strengths and powers were supernatural, paranormal or extra-terrestrial in nature.
Captured beings were given the option to either work as an operative with the Commandos, which came with certain "walking around" privileges, or to be kept in continuous isolated containment at Area 13. While the Commandos' roster often fluctuated to meet the needs of the mission, a core group of operatives soon emerged: Nina Price, the Gorilla-Man, the Living Mummy, Frank, the Zombie, and field commander[3] Vic Marcus, codename Warwolf. Additionally, the team outfitted the monstrous Grogg with advanced technology that allowed the dragon to serve as a living transportation vehicle, piloted by S.H.I.E.L.D. operative "Buzz" McMahon. This team, under the leadership of Dugan and his second-in-command Bradley Beemer, completed many missions for S.H.I.E.L.D., utilizing the "horror, shock and awe" of their unique operatives.

SGT FURY AND HIS HOWLING COMMANDOS TEAMED UP WITH TH CREATURE COMMANDOS NAZIS BEWARE
ReplyDeleteI'm even more surprised that _you_ never teamed them up with Blade! A little time/space finagling by Degaton being just the ticket for bringing him and the CC's, together.
