The Falcon and The Flash

 

When heroes not only teamed up, but also traded villains, it always made for an exciting story for me. That's a big reason that Acts of Vengeance was one of my favorite crossover tales from Marvel, so many cool possibilities came out of it! I like to use the same concept on my STF covers from time to time, so here's another example.

@Ross: My favorite part of that story arc was Dr. Doom vs. the Punisher!

What do you want to bet that Capt. Boomerang is working undercover for the Suicide Squad? With MODOK misled into thinking Digger Harkness has a more impressive criminal record than his Marvel namesake?

@Carycomic: that wouldn't be hard to do, considering how MODOK was once out-strategized by the "Mad" Thinker during the Black Lama's "War of the Super-Villains" in IRON MAN during the pre-Bicentennial 1970's

Has M.O.D.O.K. ever met Mojo JoJo from the Powerpuff Girls?

@Bigby65: I can truthfully say "No-no".

This sort of thing could be done to deal with apparently lopsided pairings. For example, I could see Batman going toe-to-toe with Baron Mordo (or even Dormammu) while the Joker gives Doctor Strange mad fits.

The Scarlet Suited League...right next to Code Red...so many that could qualify. Carmine would do Barry's after images so nicely. I miss them...extra care.

@Bob G, and being inspired by Ross, it would be likely titled "Hiding A Joker Up His Sleeve!" With Joker in a magician's outfit facing Dr Strange!

@ Det. Tobor: considering he already wears a purple tuxedo, all the Joker would have to wear, in addition, is a top hat and cape.

@Bob Greenwade: speaking of lopsided pairings, how about Pamela Isley with Madcap the Mushroom Man from "Fortnite"?
