Ultraman and The Iron Giant



While it was fun seeing The Iron Giant go up against a misguided military and protecting Hogarth, we never got to see him face any antagonists his own size.  Who better join him in such an endeavor than a kaiju-crusher Ultraman?  I've had a few requests for this pairing, and it does seem like it would make for a fun tale.

  1. I’ve thought of a team-up idea that would be great for this year’s Halloween special - Ghost Rider joining forces with Ash Williams, Buffy Summers, Nick Burkhardt and the Winchester brothers.

  2. You could add Frankenstein, Jr., Big Guy, and Gigantor.

    "Highlander Vs. Outlander!"

    "Brought to you by United Auto Workers."

  5. Either of these two big guys would be great facing off against Godzilla.

    And here, all I was about to suggest was Darkwing Duck joining the Wacky Races.

  6. I like the idea this pair teaming with Frankenstein, Jr., Big Guy, and Gigantor, and the claw looks like the Cloverfield monster.

  7. On the other hand, Ultraman of Earth-3 could probably send both of them to the nearest scrap heap. With one hand tied behind his (presumably Kryptonian) back!

    I wanna see Atom, Ant-man & Wasp go up against them. Make it The Long & Short of it in no time. Followed by the Damage Crew.

  11. Anyone know what kids change into adult heroes besides Shazam's Billy Batson and the Fly's Thomas Troy? And maybe Captain Marvel's Rick Jones.

  12. Maybe a fanfiction could have Happosai (the primary "card-carrying" pervert of "Ranma 1/2) meeting the Donald Duck of the cartoon short "Flipperboobootosis"; the squeezing of Donald's bunion(?) that made him cringe(?), gritting(?) his teeth(?), had a bit of pervert trope in it.

  13. "Flipperboobootosis"' bunion(?)-squeezing on Donald Duck's foot resembled Peter Griffin's squeezing of Gloria Ironbox' breasts in sensitivity class in the Family Guy episode "I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar".

  14. "We never got to see him face any antagonists his own size."

    Maybe they were saving that for the sequel?

  15. Anonymous at 3:42, that was the distinguishing idea of Billy Batson/Captain Marvel. Others include Major Might (Love and Capes), Amethyst (DC), various kids in different versions of Dial H for a Hero (DC), various parodies like the British Bananaman...
