Thunderbird had a great look (designed by Dave Cockrum, so no big surprise there), and it was too bad to see his time on the X-Men cut so short. I think his gruff attitude was too close to that of Logan and they didn't want two loose cannons on the team. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if he had been kept around.
Goodness knows that the Professor has a few skeletons in his closet. I'm not sure the Children of the Atom would take to kindly to Jack Ryder snooping into their headmaster, and that conflict would make for and exciting tale.
A triple dose of Gil Kane goodness would be more than enough for me to want to pick up this issue! He is definitely my all-time favorite Marvel cover artists for a reason.
This would be a different issue, with both heroines adapting to situations outside their usual worlds. One of the great things about having characters with well defined personalities is the fun a writer can have by taking them out of their comfort zones.
Evert since I had these two appear together in a back up tale for STF # 665, I have received requests for them to get a full issue to themselves. It took a while, but I finally got around to doing just that.
The High Evolutionary seems like just the kind of villain that would be employed by The Empire. I can see them turning to him to help produce an army of soldiers to replace the Stormtroopers (perhaps with better aim). Let's hope a rag-tag team of rebels can upset his plans before they are fully in motion!
With all of the multiverse-related shenanigans that have been going on, I am a little surprised that we have'nt had any hints about the Squadron Supreme existing in the MCU. Perhaps they could be brought into Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers; Secret Wars, but those movies already sound jam packed without introducing a whole new team of heroes. I'd get a kick out of seeing them, though!
For the reasons that Deathlok lays out above, I think that he would give Brainiac more trouble than most heroes. Will Brainiac be a part of the upcoming Superman movie? If so, they've certainly kept that under wraps. I hope that his existence is at least teased, his movie debut is long overdue.
We only got a split second shot of Metamorpho in the new Superman teaser trailer, but it was enough to get me excited. I thought that Anthony Carrigan looks great in the make up they are using on him, he looked very comics accurate. With at least one major scene taking place at Stagg Industries, will we possibly be getting Rex Mason's origin in this movie?
Now these two heroes I am sure would get along. Their heroism loving personalities with a dash of vanity and great strength to back up their boasts would probably make them fast friends. It would be a fun romp to see them working togather.
Making this cover, it dawned on me - I don't believe that I have ever seen The Silver Surfer using his board to actually surf on ocean waves. I mean, I know it's designed for spanning the spaceways, but I'm sure it would be operational for traditional surf board use as well. Has such a scene ever been depicted in the comics?
This cover comes from a suggestion by Bob Greenwade, frequent commenter and a Patron of this Blog. I think Bob may have wanted to see our two heroes battle the King of all Monsters, and I figure a scene like that would take place early in this issue - but I'd hope such a tale would focus on the three of them joining forces against a larger threat.
Lois Lane is one of those characters that actresses really have fun with. and there have been some really enjoyable depictions over the years, my favorites are Noel Neill, Margot Kidder, Teri Hatcher, Dana Delaney Erica Durance and Bitsie Tulloch. Everyone seems to love the choice of Rachel Brosnahan as the latest cinematic Lois, and she does look great in the teaser trailer. I can't wait to see what she brings to the role.
One cool thing that I have liked about the Teen Titans is the variety of types of stories that were told with the team. They could easily go from standard superhero fare to epic off-planet action to street level mysteries. It would be cool to see them share a mystic adventure with Dr. Strange.
Spider-Woman and Batgirl met previously in STF #3879, but I thought it would be cool to see them in an animated adventure as well. Who better to face off against them than STF's own Mr. Universe, making his 5th appearance.
At a time when all I knew where heroes from Marvel and DC comics, I was happy to find Hanna-Barbera's World of Super-Adventure with it's impressive line up of cartoon stars. Space Ghost and The Herculoids were my favorites, but I liked all of the features. Alex Toth certainly knew how to design a show!
We've had two versions of the Suicide Squad in the movies, but still no Bronze Tiger. Maybe he can be a supporting character whenever the DCU finally gets the Batman side of things underway? I did like the live action appearances by Michael Jai White in the Arrowverse, but I thought that he could have been used better there.
There was a bit of background removal and replacement required before I could and Ronnie Raymond and Professor Stein to this cover. Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:
Now this is the type of Super-Team cartoon I would have loved back in the day. The biggest action stars of my youth working together, count me in. Heck, let's consider that to be the shark from Jaws up there and throw him into the mix!
They say Batman can defeat anyone if he has enough prep time. Apocalypse has had centuries to prepare himself, though. It would be an interesting meeting!
We may see them from time to time, but for the most part, gorgeously painted movie posters are a thing of the past. It's too bad, some of them were truly iconic. Just like album covers, somewhere along the line, artistry took a back seat to more commercial advertising.
We've seen a bunch of Predator/Marvel crossovers now that both properties are under the same corporate umbrella, so maybe this battle will be created for real one of these days. The Predator might have his hands full in this match up, but it would be fun to see play out.
This is another pairing that I have meant to get to for a long time. Would Boston Brand be able to handle taking control of The Hulk? I guess it depends on how mad the big guy is when the attempt is made.
Sure, it was cool back in the day when Karate Kid was sent back from the 30th Century to our time for a series of adventures - but I wished that other members of the Legion of Super-Heroes had been able to do the same. Wildfire would have been at the top of my list, I just thought that he was so cool.
With The Engineer set to make an appearance in the upcoming Superman movie, it looks like James Gunn is serious about bringing the entire Authority team to the big screen. I do remember really the first few years of stories in their original comic. They were pretty much on their own though, it will be interesting to see how they fit into a world populated with DC heroes.
It looks as though most of what we saw on the Peacemaker HBO Max series will remain canon for the new DCU - with one noticeable exception. The Justice League does not exist yet, so the scene where they show up at the end of the series has no longer officially happened. Will it be addressed in some way during the second season, or simply ignored? It will be interesting to see how it is (or isn't) handled.
