I have to agree with an observation made in the comments to a previous cover by Blog Patron Bob Greenwade - these two really do look like they go together. Depicted as pitch black figures that nevertheless give off glowing energy when they are powered up, they each provide a dynamic visual to go along with their heroic exploits. I can imagine a story in which they would seek one another out due to their similarities in appearance and abilities.
Thanks for the light relief...
ReplyDeletethis must be the "spot" to throw a little "light" on the subject. these guys were so "bright" when they were kids there moms called em' "sunny". when they went to the beach with there girlfriends and there was no sun they gave there girlfriends a tan.
ReplyDeletei can throw out sun puns all day long.....from sun up....to sun down....from dusk to dawn...lol
ReplyDeleteeven a month of sundays.....lol
ReplyDeleteI thought you had already established that, according to the opening credits of Thundarr, it came in 1994. Unless, you're referring to either Captain Comet (Thor's brother, here in the Ross-verse); or the super-horse who's actually a cursed centaur?
ReplyDeleteIf so, could one of them be under the mind-controlling power of Warlord Kaa of the Shadow World?*
*One-time foe of the Hulk and the West Coast Avengers.
Negative Man would fit in well with this pair.
ReplyDeleteGlad to be of service.
ReplyDeleteSunspot's next appearance can be receiving a Green Lantern ring: "In Blackest Day, In Brightest Night!"
Sunspot, Moon Knight, Star (boy, girl,man).........a new group to be formed? With them, the Sky's the limit. They're Sky High.
ReplyDeleteI prefer "The Astronomicals." Like "The Untouchables," only more heavenly?
ReplyDeleteAdd Captain Comet to that collection! (I'd suggest Max Mercury and Saturn Girl, but the group is already DC-heavy enough.) And their first foe can be... Eclipso!
ReplyDeleteFor more diversity of sources, you could add (Archie/Red Circle)'s The Comet.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I wonder if someone could work these two heroes' origins together.
ReplyDelete@Simreeve: Good call -- use The Comet over Captain Comet!
The Golden Age version or the Silver Age version?
ReplyDeleteIf any version of 'Starman' or 'Stargirl' or the 'Star-Spangled Kid' is used, then one to match them; Otherwise, why not both?
ReplyDeleteH'mm, didn't Marvel have a 'Comet-Man' at one point? Put him together with both versions of The Comet, plus DC's Captain Comet and Comet Girl and 'Comet the Super-horse, and you've got -- as a tribute to author Jack Williamson -- 'The Cometeers'. :)
Kind of like Father from Kids Next Door.
ReplyDeleteThe one where every episode was composed of spy-fi acronyms?
ReplyDelete@Cary: Naw! That was the Nickelodeon series that was kind of like "007 meets the Magic Treehouse."
ReplyDeleteIf the two of you are referring to "Kids Next Door," that was a made-for-Cartoon Network series. A Ted Turner-funded brainchild!
ReplyDelete---Another Ymous
And Captain Planet.
ReplyDelete@Bob Buethe: Who's now as powerless as Scotty (from STAR TREK:TOS).
