Captain America and The Flash in: "20-Foot Temper Tantrum!"

 

I've had these two share adventures in team ups featuring the Invaders or the JSA, but never the two of them together.  That surprised me and I decided it's time I remedied that.

Captain America shared adventures with the Barry Allen Flash in STF #3273 and STF #726...

Maybe you can do a sequel with Bucky and Jay Garrick's recently (re)discovered daughter The Boom.

Junior here looks like a precursor to Eclipso. (Or, his son!)

It's nice to see Cap and Jay together, solo (Bucky notwithstanding). Good cover, Ross.

WHAT IF...this were actually Thaddeus Ross? Technically, the one-year-old son of the Golden Age Betty Ross (aka the original Golden Girl)! Mutated, perhaps, through accidental exposure to some of those "vita-rays" our government's half-mad scientists always seemed to be experimenting with during the 1940's.

In case Bob Greenwade is scratching his head in puzzlement: the vita-ray, as a plot gimmick, was first used to bring an Egyptian mummy--later known as Mystico the Wonder Man--back to life in Nedor's STARTLING COMICS #1 (June 1940). Nine months later, of course, Steve Rogers was subjected to it. And, in August of 1941, Michael Shelby became the third known recipient of vita-ray treatment in Fox Features' GREEN MASK #6!

Fabulous cover today!

@Carycomic: Looks more like Jimmy "Hybrid" Marks had a love-child by the She-Hulk.

Alaric said...

Carycomic- There were no vita-rays in Captain America Comics #1, though, just the serum. The rays were added in the retelling of Cap's origin in Tales of Suspense #63, more than 30 years later. Perhaps Kang or someone meddled with the timeline.

Carycomic said...

Thanks for the update, Al. But, that Silver Age ret-con is still considered canon more than 60 years later. At least as far as the sliding time scale of Earth-616 is concerned! And, I imagine, the same can be said for Earth-STF.

Carycomic said...

If, however, Kang were up to some kind of major meddling with Earth-STF's history, it would probably result in a much more conspicuous fashion. Like, say, the Jimmy Olsen @ STF #4085 suddenly becoming a young African-American... pleading for the female Capt. Marvel's life.

These two are such a great pair, they could give World's Finest a run for it's fan base. Both were underdogs, originally, and changed thru serum or hard water exposure.
"Neighborhood Heroes"!!

Carycomic said...

@Det. Tobor: hey! That's a brilliant idea!! Cap and/or the Golden Age Flash teaming up with Underdog!!!

As much as the art the captions make the covers work! Thanks!
