Iron Man and Captain Marvel (Vs. Black Adam and Radio-Active Man!)

 


Stories in which heroes swap villains have always appealed to me.  Acts of Vengeance remains one of my favorite Marvel crossovers.  I thought that I would go that route for this cover.  Iron Man and Captain Marvel previously met in STF #4588 and shared an adventure with The Avengers in STF #259 and the Avengers and Marvel Family in STF #1518...

Coming tomorrow: STF #4700!

    A cover worthy of the Silver Age, indeed. Titillating, though not entirely accurate. Radio-active Man might be as green as the Hulk. But, not invulnerable like him. Why, canonically, he had to use one of his energy blasts to just repel Mjolnir! So, Capt. Shazam would've sent him flying with one punch. While Shellhead's armor would be as poppable as a beer can top to Black Adam.

    Villain-switching on this blog is also a very fun. How would Hero M handle Villain D, while Hero D handles Villain M? It's great fun to speculate on how a writer would handle it in a story.

    On another topic, I'd love to see Man-Bat continue his personal quest to cure The Lizard.

    This is a cool cover; and once again; I got an idea!

    How about THIS Radioactive Man battling his namesake from The Simpsons?

    Hey-hey! I just got back rom seeing THE MONKEY (on Earth-13). Not bad. Although, it was a little _too_ absurdist for my taste. I have a feeling it was no more faithful to the identically titled short story by Stephen King than was the Pierce Brosnan version of THE LAWNMOWER MAN.

    I'd cheer for that double teaming till I was "horse."
