Firestorm and The Beast

 

Two of my favorite heroes duking it out with demons for 22 pages would be enough incentive for me to pick up this issue.  Ronnie Raymond works well with intellectual types like Hank McCoy, so I see this as a winning combination.

  1. Justice League of America #200 briefly had a Martian Manhunter and Firestorm fight. I was super disappointed that fight wasn't like half the issue. Because those two are some of the JLA's coolest characters. That's just a small aside in relation to Firestorm.

  2. But speaking of Martian Manhunter, I'd still love to see him be teamed up with the Silver Surfer. Those two would be amazing together.

  3. Or how about the son of vulcan (an old Charlton character) and Namor? Two romanesque superheroes working together.

  4. I agree Ross, this would be a terrific team-up and fun to read. It seems to me Ronnie might a third wheel. Beast and Professor Stein share a bond of academia so Ronnie might be overwhelmed.

    1. On the other hand, these things being demons (probably N'garai), they might be vulnerable to silver (usually considered the spiritually purest metal). A plentiful supply of which Ronnie's innate athleticism might make him really quick in transmuting from the base matter around him and Hank.

  5. This is a fun idea but I feel it deserves a sequel where Hank takes the place of Dr. Stein!

    1. Awww! But, they make such a natural team all their own.

      Hank & Stein? ;-)

  6. Maybe Hank forms half of his own Firestorm matrix only question, who's the other half? Jubilee, maybe?

  7. Hank in limbo....Bobby would laff his ice off! But Hank & Martin? That would be interesting, i think?

    1. Especially if it were done as a Halloween cover: "The Hank n' Stein Monster!"

  8. I'd like to see Firestorm team up with The Elementals (Bill W. version) to battle Marvel's Malestrom & his 3 minions.
