Power Man & Iron Fist and The Phantom Stranger



O much was teased on the Marvel Netflix shows that never came to fruition.  We never got to see K'un L'un, the forming of Heroes for Hire, or Colleen and Misty joining forces to create Knightwing Investigations.  The silver lining there is that plenty of story material is left for when these characters finally join the MCU.  Hopefully the wait will not be too long!

    They could use Arrow in this mix. Coming from his Island of Purgatory it would be a great match.

    "Hopefully, the wait will not be too long!"

    Oracle the Giant said it best to Dr. Fate in JLA v.1/#100.

    "A moment to Oracle can be an eternity for some men..."

    @det_Tobor: is that a reference to his "hollow" days?

    You know: back when Hal Jordan was still filling in as The Spectre?

    When Ollie met Ollie..one of my favorite stories from his lives.

    While there's plenty of hope for Charlie Cox, Kristen Ritter, Jon Bernthal, and even Vincent D'Onofrio to revive their characters in the new order of the MCU, the same isn't true of Finn Jones or Mike Colter. Finn's version of Danny Rand is considered a failure (through no fault of his own), and Mike has stated that he's not coming back to the role of Luke Cage. I think it similarly unlikely that Simone Missick or Jessica Henwick will be coming back (as Misty and Colleen, respectively) will be asked back to their roles. I think that's quite unfortunate, as I enjoyed all four of those performers and would've liked to have seen the characters (especially Danny) develop into something closer to their comic-book personas.

    I just heard a news story about the next Indiana Jones movie, and got an idea: Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones vs. Prof. William Omaha MacElroy... aka King Tut.

    I once did a "Batman'66" fanfic where King Tut had been a swashbuckling archaeologist, during WWII, as Wm. "Omaha" MacElroy!*

    *Only to find out, twenty years later, that he was the reincarnation of the evil Count Manzeppi from the original TWWW. RIP, Robert Conrad. The once-and-future Jim West!
