Chance Falconer and Dr. Fate

 

We need more Chance Falconer.  If not a Leave it to Chance comic revival, then how about and animated or even live action series?  I can see this property being the next big bingable Netflix series.

Iron Man and Wildcat

 

These guys are miles apart as far as their backgrounds and power levels go, but I think that they might get along.  Even if they didn't, it would be cool to see their clash of styles when tossed into a story together.

Groo Wanders into The Lord of the Rings

 

I figure that it would only be a matter of time before Groo's travels brought him into Middle Earth. What kind of effect would his presence have on the war against the hordes of Sauron?  I'm not sure, but it would be entertaining to find out.

Martian Manhunter and the Hulk in: "The Vengeful and the Verdant!"

 

I first presented a meeting between these two back in STF #1088. I saw the chance to feature Kirby artwork, and decided that it was high time for them to share a cover again.  This time around, it would be cool to see them join forces against a common foe.

Gambit Vs. Green Arrow

 

I got a kick out of seeing Channing Tatum finally get to play Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine. I have to admit, he did look pretty cool when charging and throwing his cards around.  The fun that was had with his thick Cajun was quite amusing as well.

The Powerpuff Girls and Professor X

 When RJ, a Patron of this Blog, suggested that Professor X meet Professor Utonium, I wasn't sure what angle to take.  Then I remembered the special ingredient in the Girls' creation - Chemical X!  The story kind of writes itself after that.  Thanks, RJ!

Songbird and Vibe

 

This epic battle of sound-based heroes and villains comes from a suggestion by Christopher Daly, a Patron of this blog.  I'm thinking that the letterer on this issue would have a chance to really be able to go to town with some of the sound effects within.  Thanks, Christopher! 

Hourman and Wolverine

 

Usually I try to come up with some dialogue or a caption and a story title at this point, but there was not a lot of real estate left in the final image.  Besides, knowing that Rex and Logan would be kicking ninja butt would be enough for me to want to pick this issue up without any extra enticement.

Power Man and Mighty Mouse

 

That's right - Mr. Universe is back!  We haven't seen the last of him either!  I have big plans for this new STF original recurring villain.  You can expect to see him up against all sorts of heroes in future covers.

Hawkeye and Huntress in: "Falling For Fisk!"

 

This marks the 12th appearance of the Hawkeye/Huntress team.  It's always fun to revisit these purple-suited siblings. When I saw these similar action poses, I figured it was time for them to have another adventure.

Deadman and Daredevil

 

For some reason the similarity in costumes between these two heroes never dawned on me until the pairing was suggested by comics' historian and Patron of this blog, Marc Tyler Nobleman.  They really do look like they went to the same tailor.  Thanks for the idea, Marc!

Katana Vs. Lady Deathstrike

 

A mutant with adamantium fingernails versus the wielder of the Soultaker Sword - this would certainly be a battle that would draw some blood. But who would emerge as the ultimate victor?

X-Men and Madam Xanadu

 

Perhaps if the X-Men paid a visit to Madam Xanadu, they could have avoided a lot of drama ahead of them.  Or would her readings just cause them to find drama on another path?  It does seem to follow them around.

Mister Miracle and Tron

 

Scott Free is the world's greatest escape artist - but would he be able to find his way out of the digital world?  It would be a challenge even for him, and one that I would certainly enjoy reading about.

Fantastic Four Vs. Lex Luthor

 

You just know that if Lex Luthor was in the MCU, one of his main targets would be Reed Richards. I don't think that Lex would be able to stand to have another person be considered the greatest scientific mind on the planet, and his ego would not allow that to go unchallenged.
