The Falcon and The Teen Titans



I am very curious about how Sam Wilson will wield the Shield that Captain America gave to him.  Cap used it very effectively, but he had the super-soldier serum to allow him to do that.  Sam is in great shape, but has normal human strength.  We all saw what happened when Happy Hogan tried a Captain America like move in Spider-Man: Far From Home!  Sam is of course is more skilled than Happy, but still has no special powers to assist him - not to mention his wings getting in the way when wielding the shield.  Hopefully this will be addressed in the upcoming Disney+ show.

Sam's modified suit can give him Iron Man type strength for throwing the shield. But, Sam is going to need a LOT of practice time throwing for angles and ricochets.

Whoa... two "training day" covers in a row? It looks like they're all preparing for something big... maybe, whatever's happening for #2800? That cover, if my math is right, will come up right after the CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event, so something along those lines would be fitting. (If you start early, you could even show a battlefield strewn with the bodies of characters who will otherwise never appear on this blog!)

OUCH! Sam Wilson uttering an ornithological put-down. Not exactly p.c., Sam.

Wow, a pre-Cardy Titans. That's an interior page from Teen Titans #1, isn't it?

H'mm, we've had an Archie character training a Marvel one, and then a Marvel character training a DC team: To complete the circle, perhaps we could have a DC hero or team training an Archie one? Say, for example, the Legion of Substitute Heroes and 'Pureheart the Powerful'?

Nah. This is one time it HAS to be Batman...to train Pureheart?! It would drive Bruce nuts to have another guy like Clark to jump in first without looking. Then again, you could have him give the job to Jimmy Olsen.

Jayn earlier than that - Brave and the Bold

@DC50 and Simreeve: I'd rather see the Legion of Superheroes fawning over Veronica's super-villainous alter-ego.

;-D

@Cary: That's assuming Ross can find a picture of Ms. Vanity reposing like Cleopatra. And, then, substitute the LSH for various Romans and Egyptians.
