This is another pairing that has been long overdue. I never read too much of Mr. A, but I was intrigued by his rigid take on life and crime. It would have been interesting to see him confront the wall-crawler, especially if such a meeting was depicted by Steve Ditko.
Great. How about a follow-up with the pair, also featuring Ditko's The Question?
ReplyDeleteBetter yet, Hong Kong Phooey and Sad Sack.
DeleteVs. Rorschach?
DeleteHey… how about a Midnighter vs Mr. X fight. They’re both top the line fighters who rarely lose. Thanks for all you do…
ReplyDeleteBetter yet the Metal Men and Namor.
DeleteOr, failing all them, I'd settle for Shang-Chi vs. Shang Tsung and Quan Shi.
DeleteHow about a natural follow up with Firestorm and Deathlok.
ReplyDeleteBetter yet, why not Metamorpho and Darkhawk and call it “Fight for Good!”.
DeleteOr, failing those, Sgt. Fury vs. Judge Dredd in "Law & Orders"!
Delete"Ruption Thiefies"?!
ReplyDeleteWeird title...even for Mr. Ditko.
Cool combo.
ReplyDeleteHow about Mister A meeting Mister E (that obscure DC character with the white coat, I think)? If we can find enough characters whose names feature just one letter, maybe we can make a team that actually spells something. Like an anagram with people. That'd be cool.
ReplyDeleteBetter yet Red Bee and Puma.
DeleteBetter still? Pinky & the Brain meet Timon and Poomba!
DeleteAlso, I read a Red Tornado story today that said he had an apartment in Greenwich Village. I can't remember the comic now, but the idea has since led me to want a Red Tornado and Doctor Strange story.
ReplyDeleteBetter yet The Inhumans and ShirtTales.
DeleteAlso, Hercules from Marvel vs Charlton's Son of Vulcan! I bet nobody knows about Charlton's Son of Vulcan (I only know of him due to wikipedia), but I now desperately want to see him on here.
ReplyDeleteBetter yet Ultra Boy and Stretch Armstrong.
DeleteAnd I have at least one more idea to throw out there. I think I threw it out before, but Bob Hope from DC's Bob Hope comics and Millie the Model from Marvel could be really interesting to see together.
ReplyDeleteBetter yet Bravestar and Popeye.
DeleteNever heard of this guy. Can anyone help?
ReplyDeleteHis secret identity is Peter Parker. He was a nerdy high school kid who was bitten by a radioactive spider. He got powers such as super strength and spider sense. He built web shooters. They have made a few tv shows and movies based on the character.
Deleteis that for Mr A??
Delete@Ben W: he's actually Rex Graine, investigative reporter for the Daily Crusader. Like Spidey, he's a brain-child of the late, great Steve Ditko. But, like the original Rorschach of Watchmen fame, he's an anal-retentive moralist who only sees right and wrong in absolutes. Strictly black and white rather than dark grays and light grays.
Delete@Anon830: only trouble is, Mr. A didn't have powers of interdimensional teleportation a la the Phantom Stranger. So, I'm guessing these two are being subjected to some more of Lord Nightmare's psychedelic shenangigans.
DeleteAlright, I guess I kinda walked into that first smart-mouthed response! That'll teach me to use vague terms like "this guy" and such...
Deletehmmm...The Question, Mr A, The Creeper, & Rorschach....Could this be a team?? After Mr A meets Spidy, what will change his mind about him??
ReplyDeleteRed Bee & Bumblebee should fight Swarm who is entering the DC Universe from all time periods.
ReplyDeleteNamor & the Metal Men would be in a fix caught in between a battle with giant foes Orka & Chemo.
ReplyDeleteHKP & Sad Sack vs Joker & the Bulletman foe from the JLA /Earth-S team up.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be neat to have Mr. Mxyzptlk be defeated by the Inhumans who summon The Shirt Tales to spell his name backwards on their t-shirts.
ReplyDeleteThe A-T-E Team = Mr. A teams with Mr. T & Mr. E to take on world devourer Galactus.
ReplyDeleteWith monogrammed uniforms courtesy of Edna Mode?
DeleteReddy & Dr. Strange can battle a Dormammu infused weather wand making The Weather Wizard live up to his name.
ReplyDeleteFirestorm & Deathlok can fight Blizzard & the Breathtaker.
ReplyDeleteMetamorpho & Darkhawk vs Silvermane (who resembles Stagg) & the Man-Hawks.
ReplyDeletePuma should team up with the Thundercats who had a Puma based member at 1 point..
ReplyDeleteOr, better yet, Puma meets one of the Bastet tribes from White Wolf Games and Moonstone Books.
Delete^ The Bulletman foe was the Weeper who got me confused with Willie The Weeper from a Joker series issue.
ReplyDeleteWe could’ve had a more “mature” comic with Mr’s T & A!
ReplyDeleteOr, best of all, Warren Beatty as Dick Tracy and Macaulay Culkin as Kevin from "Home Alone" trying to solve a Yuletide mystery: "If There's No 'L,' What Comes Between K & M?"
DeleteMr t? Joins justice league
ReplyDeleteI pity those fools.
Delete^ Flash & Hulk has already been done. I love your Thor, Iceman, TMNT, Terra, Aquaman & Elongated Man ideas & 2nd them all. :)
ReplyDeleteIt'd be great to see Spidey fight Spider-Girl & the LOSV in the future with some other Marvel characters. Maybe with the Imperial Guard in tow.
ReplyDeleteIt might be more fun to see how Mr. A might react to the Silver Age Hawk and Dove.
