Crystar and Martinex
This seems like it would just be a natural pairing. I was happy to see Martinex make a cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but it would nice to see the character be a bigger part of the MCU - especially since he is played by Michael Rosenbaum, still in my opinion the best live action Lex Luthor.

Ross,this is just dazzling....
you might have included Dazzler.....
I believe Crystar is owned by Marvel.
anyone remember sherman howard as lex luthor from the live action superboy series???? i think he would make a great joker....pure evil....lol
@Beta Joe: I remember Sherman Hemsley as The Toyman from LOIS & CLARK:TOS.
Speaking of toys: wasn't Crystar part of some toy line that Marvel was likewise plugging with a comic series? INHUMANOIDS, I think? The comic might have had some initial success through temporary confusion with the Inhumans. Though not as successfully long-lasting as GI JOE, MICRONAUTS, and TRANSFORMERS, once the confusion was past.
@Cary: Two different line-ups, dude. Crystar and his bunch were created by Marvel for Remco.
Inhumanoids were from Hasbro (like the Big 3).
Martinex was part of "the old gang," right? I'd love to see that group have a decent supporting role in GotG3 (or even 4). For that matter, it's too bad they didn't show up in Avengers: Endgame.
I'd rather they show up in STF #3300 with the LSH.
Crystar made his return to the Marvel Universe during Doom's Secret Wars a few years ag9 and has popped up from time to time.
Love this cover
Why do they have Crystar carrying He-Man's original Power Sword?
@ShadowWing Tronix: Maybea cover could have Skeletor time-traveling to the Mighty Mightor's world to kill the hermit and his clan who gave Mightor the magical club, because that clan would make He-Man's magical sword.
@ShadowWingTronix: looks more like the one from BLACKSTAR. A Flash Gordon/He-man hybrid that was one of the last cartoon series Filmation did for CBS' Saturday morning line-up in the late Seventies/early Eighties.
He'll always be Wally West The Flash to me "If The Power Ring does not fit you have to Acquit." - Wild Wild Wally West THE FLASH.
Blackstar was Pre He-Man.
Hurray For Martinex, Goobers & Snocaps too! HURRAY FOR MARTINEX!
@Brother Kellygreenwithenvy: I know. That's why I said "...hybrid."
To give Millenial readers a proper frame of chronological reference.
Cool cover Ross. Now team them up with Chaselon the green lantern.
I wonder what Mr. T would think of Chaselon's mohawk?
@Cary: "He definitely ain't no fool!"
