Justice League of America and Machine Man

 

The JLA was known to be a team that is inclusive to robots, so I think they would welcome Aaron Stack with open arms.  That is, if  he is able to find out who replaced them!  I think that this could make for a fun tale.

  1. check jla #4or 5 when GA had a simular kind of problem. The League had a few times when they were displaced. How he would get along with Red Tornado should be a good story too.

  2. Hmmm! Could this faux-leaguers be LMD's remotely controlled by Brainiac?

  3. @Anon817: more likely someone more Earthbound. Like, say, Luthor and the Mad Thinker?

  6. Machine Man & Brainiac 5 or even the talking Super Friends device "The Trouble-alert" would make for some great future covers.

  7. I was sure this was going to be a "leap year" issue. Maybe Roger Rabbit and Bugs Bunny.

  8. Since the JLA has been in cartoon form on several different series & they have the shrinking Atom & the stretchable Elongated Man as members, I think they should meet up with Super Stretch & Micro Woman as possible replacements for the above members. Maybe even during the late 80s Guy Gardner, Mr. Miracle team version. All of the above mentioned characters have now been seen in animated form.

  9. I wonder how Guy Gardner and Clint Barton would get along on the cover of a "Search For America" pastiche.

    Or maybe Professor Ivo as the DC side of that partnership?

    Talking of Guy, just think how well he'd probably get on with John Walker (i.e. the "other" Captain America of the 1980s).
    And, perhaps less compatibly, a meeting between the "real" Captain America (Steve Rogers) nd General Glory...

  11. @Simreeve: Professor Ivo sounds like a better ally of convenience for a roboticist like the Mad Thinker, yeah. As for General Glory? Depends on which version, you mean.

    Steve Rogers would probably get along, quite amiably, with the "Golden Age" version. But, not so much with the latter's successor. The frustrated ex-cop who subsequently became a red-white-and-blue Punisher. If DC was going to go that route, they might as well have passed on Gen. Glory's powers to Major Liberty from the Force of July!

  12. @Carycomic: I believe you mean "Major Victory."

  13. Like Maxwell Smart might say to the leader of the Doom Patrol: "Sorry about that, Chief!"

  14. Hey! That's an idea. Maxwell Smart vs. the Condiment King!

  16. @Machine Man: "...what has become of the true team?"

    They're currently prisoners of Lord Nightmare @ STF #4281.
