I'm surprised that I haven't paired up these two teams until now, I had to go back and check just to be sure. There's enough variety in the memberships of DC's premiere Super Team and Marvel's official Non-Team that any number of line ups could make for an exciting tale with lots of contrasting personalities and power sets. I'm still hoping to eventually see big budget live action treatments for either team.
OUTSTANDING !! With a wide enough variety of personalities to ensure almost everything will happen.
ReplyDeleteNow if the Legion met the Squadron Supreme?
Dude! THAT might be the best/embarrassingly obvious/Radtastically Brilliant conceptual suggestion I have encountered here in Super Team realm. Ashamed it didn't occur to me, stoked and impressed it DID occur to Det._Tobor 🤘👍😈🔥
DeleteI love covers like this!
ReplyDeleteIf I saw this on the shelf at the comic book store, I'd have to read it to find out what it was all about!
I, too, would buy this in the proverbial New Yawk minute. If only to find out what mistake the Boy of Steel was referring to! Changing 31st-century history by letting Vance Astro of the Silver Age GOTG meet his teenage self? Or being tricked into temporarily disbanding by those sentient energy-beings who briefly masqueraded as a Federal tribunal?
ReplyDeleteQuite so, Ross -- you could do another match-up in short order, and the only character to appear on both would be Doctor Strange. (Then again, the same would probably be true of a JLA/Avengers crossover!)
ReplyDeleteMostly unrelated: A conversation I had a couple of days ago made me think that it might be interesting to see Marvel's Black Knight versus the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Supes and Mon-El are vulnerable to magic, and Dr. Strange and Damien Hellstrom are magic users--so this might be a more even fight than it appears at first, if it devolves into a fight.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of magic users, how about Dr. Strange vs. Mordru?
Or maybe the heroes sit back, pop some popcorn, and watch Mordru vs. Dormammu? (And then all of them jump the victor while he's weakened.)
Afterthought: Trigon vs. Mephisto might be good, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful page. and great idea - get the Hulk, Namor, or the Silver Surfer involved, and you've got a story!
ReplyDeleteJust curious that you didn't save this blockbuster for next week, for 3250. I'll bet you've got a humdinger planned!
Now this pairing has tons of potential. I can already 'see' X-overs involving the War w/ the LSV, the Great Darkness Saga, when the Subs had to save the main team members from the LSA. On the other side when the Defender founders went gaga, or maybe when Hellstrom showed his true colors. There's alot to work with here.
ReplyDeleteI love both...the team and the non-team. The characters from both don't receive enough attention except Dr. Strange and the Hulk.
ReplyDeleteGreat

ReplyDeleteThe kids with capes meet the Red Cloaked Brigade. Smooth.
ReplyDeleteHas Squad Supreme encountered Amazo?
0-for-6 with regard to that particular confrontation.
ReplyDeleteP.S.--I second Kid Charlemagne's first suggestion. You couldn't get more drama than to see Mordru vs. Dormammu.*
ReplyDelete*Unless, of course, they got amalgamated as "Mordrammu!"
@Cary: If they were found to be half-brothers, you could drum up a daring Mordru-Dormammu mama drama.
ReplyDelete@Cary: I favor "Dormadru", but your name would work as well.
ReplyDeleteUnder either name, he'd have made quite an Amalgam Comics villain.
@Bob & KC: Amen! :-)
ReplyDeleteRoss, I love this cover so much! Just the array of colors in the costumes is so pleasing to my 70s and 80s asthetic. Great job!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of an "array of colors in the costumes," Ross, is there any chance of ever seeing a team-up with the likes of Color Kid, the Sixth Doctor, Sabine Wren, Captain Ultra, etc.?
ReplyDeleteOr, failing that, the Constitution-class USS Enterprise (from STAR TREK: TOS) vs. the Showa-era Ghidorah the Three-headed Monster!
ReplyDelete@Anon: I admit it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a dogfight I'd love to see! :-)
