This is a combination that might be fun to see, I like the juxtaposition of characters with brains and those that possess raw strength, whether they be at odds or trying to work together. Since this is a comic, you know you can expect a little bit of both!
Well now since Hulk met Batman in a Treasury edition we can guess Terrific will apply some hits to Hulk's nerves to free himself. And that won't even mess up Terrific's hands. Then he'll blind M.O.D.O.K. so that Big Head flies into the Hulk and makes Hulk angry. Third smartest guy on the planet has already worked out these kinds of potential problems long ago. Then he'll give Hulk a cup of tea to soothe him. Simple.
ReplyDeleteMr T versus Mr T(errific)? Or have you already done that?
ReplyDeleteAnd with Modok, how about throwing in a British ( strictly speaking Venusian) arch-villain from the marvellous (but not Marvel-ous) 1950s Dan Dare series, the Mekon... (https://artistsuk.co.uk/acatalog/DAN-DARE---THE-MEKON-529.html)...
who could be Modok's long lost daddy...
Ever wonder if it would be worth wearing breakaway clothing for times like these? Like Scott Free, he could have something on his person to give him a boost as needed beyond his normal range. Or, being so confident, Mr Terrific wanted to get close to the Hulk to free him of any devices M.O.D.O.K. might be controlling him with. Not bad for a Tuesday afternoon.
ReplyDelete@Ross: first off? I love today's title! :-)
ReplyDeleteSecondly? I shudder at the thought of what MODOK's mind could do in the Hulk's body. You know; similar to how Dr. Doom once swapped bodies with Daredevil. In fact; could you imagine Daredevil's body hosting the mind of the former George Tarleton?
"Enter...Matt Modok, Atty-Out-Law!"
@Cary: Groooooooooooan!
ReplyDeleteMr Terrific doesn't have any of his 'T-spheres' handy? If he did then, as he threatened to a (Mordru-invoked, or perhaps even Mordru-created) Sphinx in one issue of JSA) he could accelerate one to very high speed as a weapon against Modok: Mr T's own tech skills should be good enough to spot where a strike would do the most damage to MODOK's systems without also inflicting serious ham to his organic portions.

More from my own version of the DC multiverse (call it the 'Alternaverse') _
At one point relatively early in its existence, the [Gotham-based, late-1960s onwards] 'Legion of Justice' accepted four new recruits at the same time: Kung-Fu Kid (Richard Dragon, who in this timeline is half-Chinese), Bronze Tiger (Ben Turner, whose metal mask hides the fact that when he draws on his 'Tiger' aspect to a great extent his own face becomes Tiger-like {Didn't some stories about DC's post-Flashpoint version give him a mystical amulet that let him do this? In this timeline he doesn't need that...]", who thus sort-of combines elements of DC's own Ferro Lad & Timber Wolf... and who doesn't sacrifice his life in the next story...), Earth-Girl (Tara Markov, who turns out to be a traitor... and whose name echoes that of the villainous 'Earth-Man' from DC's late-pre-Flashpoint LSH stories), and Prophecy Princess (the mysterious psychic Lilith Clay, who becomes Richard Dragon's love interest).
I'm not sure Comment Deleted got the details right, but I think his summation is quite correct: Holt will make short work of the situation, or at least the immediate situation as shown. There are sure to be complications to fill out an entire issue's worth of story.
ReplyDeleteThe Mr. T/Mr. Terrific pairing is a clever idea, though I don't think it has to be a "versus" thing. Michael could very well have a hero-worship thing going on for the Big Guy.
Hey, something just now hit me: how about a team of twins? The Tornado Twins, the Wonder Twins, the M-Twins, Northstar & Aurora, Wiccan & Speed... I'm sure there are plenty of others to choose from.
Talking about Northstar, how about teaming him up with Plastique... as the villains? They did both have those Quebec separatist terrorist affiliations in their histories...
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bob's idea. Such a story idea could be set in the real-life Twinsburg, Ohio! Site of an actual national convention of twins (both fraternal and identical) every year. At least, prior to COVID-19, anyway.
ReplyDeleteI second the anony-motion.
ReplyDelete@Carycomic: grrrrrrrrrrrrroan!
ReplyDeleteAnd A one And a two....if BG and CD are correct then the real question is Who is more powerful- Hulk or Shang-Chi (who could hurt Hulkie's nervous system for a time)?
ReplyDeleteI doubt Shang-Chi could hurt Hulk's pressure points. Batman already tried that (in a DC/Marvel Treasury crossover) and failed.
ReplyDeleteWhich, in turns, means that Mr. Holterrific's use of acupressure would probably also fail. Unless, of course, he deliberately intended to drive the Hulk to distraction (long enough to employ one of those hypothesized other counter-measures)!
