Harley Quinn, Doc Samson and Moonstone

 

Harley Quinn has encountered Doc Samson before on this blog - they first met in STF #1216 and then crossed paths again in STF #2221.  Harley also squared off against Moonstone in STF #3122.  I thought it was time to get all of them together.

  2. I just read that Doc Samson's costume was a homage to Captain Marvel's (the original Billy Batson version). How about getting Doc and Billy together so Billy can make a forceful compaint about sartorial theft?

  4. Hugo Strange, possibly given interesting abilities by Dr. Psycho ?
    could Mr.Mind be behind it all…

    1. If the shrinking is literal, and not just the result of using something akin to Mysterio's hallucinogenic gas, then I'd say Hugo has employed a Pym-particle beam. Perhaps one obtained by Elihas "Egghead" Starr via that other criminal psychologist, Johann Fenhoff...aka Dr. Faustus!

  6. For some reason I feel like the Creeper might get involved in this situation!

  7. @Anon926: hey, you're right! Neither of those particular mad scientists has appeared here, yet.

  8. Good calls Simon and Curtis E Driver! Did someone say "circus"? Then the Ringmaster may make a surprise appearance!

  9. I'd still opt for some mind game being played by the red-bearded Dr. Faustus.

    1. Especially as this Prof. Strange suspiciously looks like he's been pumping iron!

  10. Not meaning to digress or anything. But, is anyone else getting a Samuel L. Jackson or Laurence Fishburne vibe from Hugo Strange's steeple-fingered pose?

  11. The story's title makes me wonder: Is there a shrinking character anywhere in comics who is also a psychiatrist or psychologist?

    @Cary: For me, more of a Leonard Nimoy vibe.

  12. Here's a wild idea: How about Doc Samson vs. Brock Samson? (and/or the two of them turning out to be related?)

  13. Great cover combo & it's also on my ten best from '24 list (with your recent Kang vs. S. Trek). Some great future "partners" should include - Dr. Cyber, Prof. Milo, Dr. Moon & Dr. Bombay.

  14. Hugo vs Atom & Ant-Man & Wasp in (dare i say it?) The Shrink test!

  15. If any of the above psychiatrists moonlighted as a hip-hop artist, would that person be performing Shrink Rap?

    (I'll show myself out.)

  16. Kid C hit the pun before I could, though I was going to suggest it as an Atom/Ant-Man rap battle.

    1. @BG and KC: if the antagonist on this morning's cover owned a night club specializing in hip-hop music, would he call it...The Universal Joint?
