Elongated Man and Moon Knight (Vs. Eclipso)



I've had a few requests for Moon Knight to face off against Eclipso, including Blog Patron Bob Greenwade, and I figured that I'd throw that conflict into the middle of STF's greatest fighting team.  I imagine that the events of this issue will have repercussions down the line.

This is the Fifth appearance of the MK/EM team - They faced an angry underworld in STF #2831,  Psycho Pirate turned them against each other in STF #2732, Ralph came to the rescue in STF #2518, and they first started working together in STF #2169...

    Where's "Frenchie" Beauchamps when you need him?

    We've now been Mooned! #BadPunNoCookie

    Marvel (and others) actually have enough moon-related characters to keep Eclipso pretty occupied. He could create chaos for the Inhumans, the Watcher, the moon people in Dick Tracy's universe... he could even hold a grudge against Chairface Chippendale!

    This pair, meanwhile, could do with an on-panel Marvel foe; I'd suggest the Kingpin. Then it might be time for something more light-hearted, like Pinky and the Brain.

    (Though the P&B match-up I really want is still the Question, as the pair set out to steal the Infinity Gauntlet!)

    As a specific request, I'd like to see a photo cover with Brent Stait in his brilliant, all-too-brief role as Doctor Fate on Smallville in the double-episode "Absolute Justice." There are several possibilities to pair him up: Tobey Maguire, Hugh Jackman, Edward Norton, RDJ... my pick would be Halle Berry's Storm, but just about any Marvel figure from the 00's would do (for me, the more underrated, the better).

    As a kid I found Eclipso kind of scary. A lot of characters were evil, but he WAS evil. That is, the distillation and embodiment of all the evil in a single human being. He didn't do evil things to obtain wealth or power or any real objective. He did evil things because that's just who and what he was.

    If Moon Knight gets overpowered by Eclipso will that make him a half moon, a quarter moon or a once in a blue moon knight?

    Next up, that man in the moon takes on a new partner, Sunny Jim: Sun Boy of the LSH.
    Adventure at late afternoon or predawn.. anyone's guess.
    and to round out his dance card, the requested Moon Knight vs Dr Light.

    From so many requests comes Moon Knight and Harley Quinn. Harley is saying, "No worries Marc. I give group discount rates."

    In yesterday's first-run episode of DC Superhero Girls, a sleepover had, if I'm correct, a sleeping Supergirl's foot kicking Zatanna across(?) the room; that sounds like a good reason for (superstrong) superheroes to practice social distancing, a current "fad"; anyways maybe a cover could be based on, if I'm correct, a real cover that is based on a non-canon Superman story where Supe's superstrength accidentally kills his new(?) wife Lois Lane.

    @my namesake: I would prefer an artistic depiction of the Johnny Carson skit that speculated on Superman and Lois Lane's wedding night.

    Appendix to my Doctor Fate photo cover above: Probably the most underrated performance of that period would have to be Kelsey Grammer as Hank McCoy. Not many people could exclaim, "Oh, my stars and garters!" that convincingly.

    @Horsefeathers would that make it a Knight lite? bad pun, 1/2 a cookie.
    Was there ever a character called "Blue Sky" or " Blue Skies"? If not, then Mr Ross you could make a first: Moon Knight and Blue Skies vs Eclipso.

    @anonymous 1234, would that make Eclipso More powerful than a loco motive?

    @Questor: that was taking a single leap out-of-bounds.
