Vixen and Hercules



I've had some fun with romantic relationships on this blog, most notably with the ongoing sagas of Wonder Woman and Captain America and The Power Couple.  I intend for both of those to continue, but I thought it might be time to start another romance.  Of course, we are only in the beginning here - Hercules may be smitten by the end of this tale, but will his feelings be reciprocated?  Only time (and future covers) will tell!

At least Vixen is not an Amazon.
Always felt Herc should wear a totem of his own: a mini search light and an unbreakable mirror around his neck. He only needs to see himself to feel the power.

Ross would you consider a starting line with the Supermobile and the Spider-Mobile?

Carycomic said...

Maybe his feelings will be reciprocated if he saves her from the STFU counterpart of Kulan Gath?

Ross said...

There's a Super-Mobile vs. Spider-Mobile cover on the blog, Horsefeathers.

Actually I was thinking just yesterday of suggesting a potentially romantic pairing between Vixen and Black Panther. Not only are they both African, but they also (at least in their live-action versions) both have similar neck adornments.

As for Hercules, I think he'd try to flirt with Big Barda (until Mister Miracle convinces him to back off) and have a brief fling with Zatanna before settling on someone unlikely like Jesse Quick -- or he might even take until the 30th century to find that someone special, in the person of Shrinking Violet.

Considering their backgrounds, how about Vixen and the Wasp working on Janet's new superhero line?

Bob, they have met. https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2013/08/vixen-and-black-panther.html

Kudos to Ross for the work it took to replace Thor and his cape with the backgrounds and Vixen on this cove.

I was disappointed over the breakup of Vixen and the Bronze Tiger back in the first volume of 'Suicide Squad'. They seem to work well together, but can any relationship really last in a suicide squad?

How about Wonder Woman meeting Hippolyta from Fearless Defenders and Hercules meeting Champion from John Byrne's run on Wonder Woman. He was Hercules after all.

Bob Greenwade said...

@Anon@9:58: Yes, the two did meet way back in #483, then again with Bronze Tiger and Storm along in #717, and she was part of the Warriors of Wakanda in #1730. But in none of those cases was there a romance going. That was my suggestion/request.

I second Bob's suggestion. Because, if T'Challa and Vixen became an item, in this universe, then Ororo would be free to take up with the Fantastic Four's Human Torch. Eventually marrying him and thereby becoming...Storm Storm!

;-D

Anon, F a n t a s t I c! Blast from the past.

Bob Greenwade said...

@Anon@9:16: A fun thought indeed, though paired characters in the STF-verse tend to be Marvel+DC, and never from the same company in any event. Plus, "Storm" is her code-name, not her given name.

On the other hand, she could marry Heatwave, thereby becoming Ororo Rory! (Mork could officiate.)

@Anon 9:16: BTW, the baby born a the end of Scooby Apocalypse was name FREDERICK Rufus ROGERS Dinkley. XD!

Carycomic said...

@Bob: Nope! I've got to agree with Anon916 on this one. Storm Storm is a piece of alliteration too good to waste. Besides, Ross could always throw in some kind of plot twist. Like "Johnny" is actually Proty III from the 31st century! Impersonating the real Human Torch as part of some master plan cooked up by the Time Trapper to rewrite the histories of the X-men, the FF, _and_ the LSH.

I knew I remembered you.

I could deal with a photo cover of John (in either Flash guise, but preferably Jay Garrick) and Alex, just to have fun with the name similarity. Maybe Storm finds evidence that Jay's her father?

But really, the main "offspring" link I'd like to see would be Captain America and Wonder Woman having a daughter: American Maid!

(Unless it's Luke Skywalker telling the DCAU Joker: "I am your father!")

@Hyram: Probably because her grandparents were actually Ororo Monroe and the FF's Human Torch. Who had the cruel nerve to name their only daughter (Meta Jean's mother)...Storm Storm!

@Anonymous, Horsefeathers, Et Al: imagine, if you will, Franklin Richards apparently being destined to marry the granddaughter of Richard Dean (better known, during WWII, as the crime-fighting child prodigy Dickie Dean). With their future son apparently being destined to hyphenate the two-surnames together. And with his own son appearing to be equally destined to legally streamline the surname as...

"...Ardean."

Wouldn't that change 31st century history if it failed to happen?

On a lighter note? I wonder how Kamo Tharn would do against Darth Vader?
