When Marc Tyler Nobleman, Comics' historian and Patron of this Blog, suggested I pair up Spidey and The Atom, It was a no-brainer. No only have I not teamed them up before, but their costumes actually go together pretty well. I never noticed that before. Thanks, Marc!
Knowing Taskmaster, he probably imitated some of Arcade's technology in order to get the drop on Spidey. Like, say, a MaryJan-droid filled with knock-out gas?
ReplyDeleteBut, if he seriously thinks he can just crush Atom underfoot, he's got another think coming! Because, Atom's size-and-weight controls can increase his strength to the proportion of a six foot-tall man who engages in regular physical exercise while still remaining at only half a foot in height. Thereby preventing him from suffering such an...ig-Noble fate. ;-)
Those costume designs certainly do go well together. And I think that Ray and Peter would get along well, both being scientifically-minded (though Ray's a physicist and Peter's more of a chemist).
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, bring together the Sixth Doctor with Sabine Wren....
Didn't you have them together on an anniversary issue?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, no. They did not. :-(
ReplyDeleteAfter Ray shrinks out of sight, what is Taskmaster going to do? Ray can pop up anywhere.
ReplyDelete@Bob Greenwade: well, they might have much in common, re: outfits that are mostly orange-and-green. But, in terms of strategic slyness and tactical deviousness, I would think a Mandalorian would have more in common with the 7th Doctor!
ReplyDeleteIs it just me? Or does it look like Spidey is doing that "v-for-victory" thing (usually reserved for ruining a family backyard barbecue photo-op) behind Taskmaster's hoodie?
ReplyDelete@Anon@9:53: It's just you. Those are Spidey's fingers and thumb, in roughly the same position as his left hand but seen from a different angle.
ReplyDelete@anon953: What Bob said. :-)
