We kept getting teased with Mr. Mind in the Shazam! movies, but he never got more than quick cameos. He's just the kind of odd character that James Gunn seems to like, though - so I am holding out hope that he will eventually get his due in the new cinematic DCU.
You just know that if these two actually shared a universe, they would be bound to clash sooner or later. Would Adrian Chase continue to hunt down the wall-crawler... or would he eventually fight by his side?
I got a kick out of the old Tarzan cartoons from my youth. They felt superhero-adjacent to me and I liked the character designs. Even as a kid, the limited animation did stand out to me. I remember getting a little annoyed with all of the re-used sequences.
This is a team concept that has been discussed in the comments and I thought that is was time to put it together. The first three members of this group were easy to pick, but there is a wide choice of funny animal characters that are known to talk straight to the audience. Bugs Bunny was the one that made the biggest impression on me, so he got the nod.
Ambush Bug previously met She-Hulk in STF #3928, and Deadpool in STF #285...
As I had hoped, Metamorpho will be getting a push now that he will be getting his live action debut in the upcoming Superman movie. DC Comics has announced the first ongoing Metamorpho comic in decades. Let's hope it can reach the heights of the Bob Haney/Ramona Fradon classic series.
It will be interesting to see where the Marvel Cinematic Universe ends up after the Russo Brothers close up the Multiverse Saga with their two upcoming Avengers movies. Will Steve Rogers be back in the role of Cap through some multiversal shenanigans? Would he stick around if so? I'm guessing a lot will depend on how well Captain America: Brave New World performs at the box office with Sam Wilson in the title role.
These three characters have all had entertaining animated appearances, now it's time to see them in live action. Man-Bat is long overdue to show up in a Batman movie and Detective Chimp is certainly on the short list if a Justice League Dark movie ever gets past the talking stages. I'm surprised that the Savage Land has not been introduced into the MCU - but once it does, that would be a great place for DD to make his debut.
Out of all of the cast of the upcoming Creature Commandos series, G.I. Robot is the one that I am the most curious about. I really hope that James Gunn does the classic war comics character justice. I'm equally curious as to how Sean Gunn will perform the robotic voice.
Would have loved to have seen this crossover for real. Especially when they both had their own cartoon shows. That would have made for a mind-blowing Saturday morning!
I checked out Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes recently, and I thought it was a pretty decent installment in the current run of PotA movies. I'm not sure where the series will go from here, as it seems to be getting to the point in time where the original classic film took place.
Red Tornado already has the power of The Tornado Tyrant within him, as told when his origin was fleshed out in one of my favorite JLA tales. Getting an infusion from Galactus would really put him over the top. It would be interesting to see what the ramifications of such a change would be.
Here's a pairing that is worthy of a revisit. It would only a be matter of time before these web-footed swashbucklers would cross paths if they were owned by the same company. They aren't, of course, but that's what STF: The Lost Issues is here for!
These two first appeared together in STF #4207...
With The Ghost set to appear in Thunderbolts, I hope we get an update as to the whereabouts of Bill Foster in the MCU. He was last seen going off with her at the end of Ant-Man and the Wasp, after all. I also still hope we will someday get a flashback scene of him in full on Giant-Man action!
Namorita joined the Teen Titans back in STF #1714, and the team previously crossed paths with her and her cousin, The Sub-Mariner and back in STF #2648. I figured that the third part in this ongoing saga should involve a third sea-faring guest star, and that was an opportunity to use the always cool Stingray.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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?
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.
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.
